Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Water HEATS up and turns into steam. Steam is made from HEAT. Granite can be compromised by HEAT. Lead compounds can be good insulators.

A grindstone of radius 4.0 m is initially spinning with an angular speed of 8.0 rad/s. The angular speed is then increased to 12

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: 6.36

Explanation:

Given

Radius of grindstone, r = 4 m

Initial angular speed of grindstone, w(i) = 8 rad/s

Final angular speed of the grindstone, w(f) = 12 rad/s

Time used, t = 4 s

Angular acceleration of the grinder,

α = Δw / t

α = w(f) - w(i) / t

α = (12 - 8) / 4

α = 4/4 = 1 rad/s²

Number of complete revolution in 4s =

Δθ = w(i).t + 1/2.α.t²

Δθ = 8 * 4 + 1/2 * 1 * 4²

Δθ = 32 + 1/2 * 16

Δθ = 32 + 8

Δθ = 40 rad/s

40 rad/s = 40/2π rpm = 6.36 rpm

Therefore, the grindstone does 6.36 revolutions during the 4 s interval

A fire helicopter carries a 700-kg bucket of water at the end of a 20.0-m long cable. Flying back from a fire at a constant spee

rodikova [14]

Answer:

F = 50636.873 N

Explanation:

given,

bucket of water = 700-kg

length of cable = 20 m

Speed = 40 m/s

angle of the cable = 38.0°

let air resistance be = F

tension in rope be = T

T cos 38° = m×g..................(1)

$T sin 38^0= \dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F$ ..........(2)

equation (1)/(2)

$tan 38^0 =\dfrac{\dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F}{mg}$

$0.781=\dfrac{\dfrac{700\times 40^2}{20} + F}{700\times 9.8}$

F = 50636.873 N

Hence the force exerted on the bucket is equal to F = 50636.873 N

A 26-kg sled is on a snow-covered slope. The coeﬃcients of friction between the sled’s runners and the snow are µs = 0.096 and µ

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of sled =26 kg

coefficient of static friction $\mu _s=0.096$

coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.072$

In order to move sled from rest we need to provide a force greater than static friction which is given by

$f_s=\mu mg=0.096\times 26\times 9.8=24.46 N$

After Moving Sled kinetic friction comes in to play which is less than static friction

$f_k=\mu _kmg=0.072\times 26\times 9.8=18.34 N$

therefore minimum force to keep moving sledge at constant velocity is 18.34 N

An igneous intrusion whose boundaries lie parallel to the layering in the surrounding country rock is considered to be:

ikadub [295]

<span>...a concordant intrusion. In geology, "concordant" means the same as "sill" -- or, an intrusion that has gotten in between older layers of rock (or even beds of volcanic lava). An intrusion with boundaries parallel to layering in surrounding rocks suggests this, meaning it is considered to be a concordant intrusion.</span>

A car, starting from the origin, travels

sweet [91]

Answer:

The net displacement of the car is 3 km West

Explanation:

Please see the attached drawing to understand the car's trajectory: First in the East direction for 4 km (indicated by the green arrow that starts at the origin (zero), and stops at position 4 on the right (East).

Then from that position, it moves back towards the West going over its initial path, it goes through the origin and continues for 3 more km completing a moving to the West a total of 7 km. This is indicated in the drawing with an orange trace that end in position 3 to the left (West) of zero.

So, its NET displacement considered from the point of departure (origin at zero) to the final point where the trip ended, is 3 km to the west.
