Answer:

When a blade of cold knife is touched to hot glass chimney there is a sudden drop of temperature on the spot where the blade touches. As a result it cracks.

Explanation:

When a blade of cold knife is touched to hot glass chimney there is a sudden drop of temperature on the spot where the blade touches. This decrease in temperature makes the glass to contract. The stress developed on the site of contraction is responsible for the cracking of the glass chimney.

Describe the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. What is its period and the frequency? Round to the
shutvik [7]

Period = 6 seconds and frequency = 0.167Hz .

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have , the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. Period is the amount of time needed to complete one oscillation . And in question it's given that 6 seconds is needed to complete one cycle. Hence ,Period of the motion of a swing is 6 seconds . Frequency is the number of vibrations produced per second and is calculated with the formula of  \frac{1}{t} . SI unit of frequency is Hertz or Hz. We know that time period is 6 seconds so frequency =   \frac{1}{t}

⇒ frequency = \frac{1}{time}

⇒ frequency = \frac{1}{6}

⇒ frequency = 0.167Hz

Therefore , Period = 6 seconds and frequency = 0.167Hz .

A shopper pushes a 5.32 kg grocery cart with a 12.7 N force directed at -28.7° below horizontal. A friction force of 8.33 N push
atroni [7]

Answer:

0.8214 m/s^2

Explanation:

Fnet= Fpushed - Ffriction

Fpushed = 12.7N      Ffriction = 8.33N

Fnet = 12.7N - 8.33N = 4.37N

Fnet= mass(acceleration)

Fnet = 4.37N    mass = 5.32 kg

4.37N = 5.32 kg(acceleration)

acceleration= 0.8214 m/s^2

Come si esprime il numero 0,00123 in notazione scientifica?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

0,00123 = 1,2*10^{-3}

Explanation:

To write down correctly the number 0,00123 in scientific notation, you take into account that the scientific notation demands that there in only one number after the comma ( , ). Furthermore, it is necessary that you move the comma to the right of the first number different of zero, in this case the number 1. To do this you move the comma three positions.

Then, you have to multiply the expresion 1.23 by 10 with an exponential -3 (because of the movement of the comma in three positions). That is:

0,00123 = 1,23*10^{-3}

But it is mandatory that nly one number can stay after the comma, so, you approximate the number three. In this case, the number is lower than 5, hence, you approximate 3 to 0.

Finally, you have:

0,00123 = 1,2*10^{-3}

An aircraft flies at sea level at a speed of 220 m/s. What is the highest pressure that can be acting on the surface of the airc
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

An aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²

Explanation:

Applying Bernoulli's equation, we determine the highest pressure on the aircraft.

P = \frac{1}{2} \rho V^2

where;

P is the highest pressure on the aircraft

\rho is the density of air = 1.204 kg/m³ at sea level temperature.

V is the velocity of the aircraft = 220 m/s

P = 0.5*1.204*(220)² = 29136.8 N/m²

Therefore, an aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²
