Answer: True

A water pump belong to a positive displacement pump that provides constant flow of water at fixed speed, regardless of changes in the counter pressure. The two main types of positive displacement pump are rotary pumps and reciprocating pumps.

Moreover, water pump is a reciprocating positive displacement pump that have an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. In water pumps, the liquid flows into the pumps as the cavity on the suction side expands and then the liquid flows out of the discharge as the cavity collapses providing water in a pail.

Which of the following has the greatest kinetic energy? A. a mass of 4m at velocity v. B. a mass of 3m at velocity 2v. C. a mass

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that the body possesses by virtue of its motion.

The formula for Kinetic energy is given by $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Using this formula let us find kinetic energy for the bodies given and find out which is the greatest

A) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (4m)(v^2) = 2mv^2$

B) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (3m)(2v)^2 = 6mv^2$

C) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (2m)(3v)^2 = 9mv^2$

D) KE = $\frac{1}{2} (3)(4v)^2 = 8mv^2$

Comparing these we find that 9mv^2 is the highest.

Hence option C is the answer.

A. Besides protons, what other particles make up an atom? Write 2 - 3 sentences describing how the electrostatic force acts betw

vodomira [7]

Answer:

For a. Neutrons and electrons also form an atom.

For b. The element is oxygen which is a non-metal and will form a negative ion while forming ionic bond.

Explanation:

For a:

There are 3 subatomic particles which form an atom. These are neutrons, protons and electrons.

Neutrons carry no charge, protons carry positive charge and electrons carry negative charge. Neutrons and protons are present in nucleus and electrons revolve around the nucleus.

The energy which is present between neutrons and protons are nuclear energy and the energy which is present between electrons and protons are electrostatic energy.

For b:

In an element, number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons or electrons. The element which has atomic number 8 is Oxygen.

The electronic configuration of this element is $1s^22s^22p^4$

This element requires only 2 electrons to form a stable electronic configuration. An element which gains electron is considered as a non-metal and forms a negative ion because number of electrons increases.
