What happens when a object is dropped?

Abdou was explaining to a classmate that graphite is a good lubricant

balu736 [363]

The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other.

<h3>Why is graphite a solid lubricant?</h3>

We know that graphite is composed of layers. These hexagonal layers are held together by weak Van Der Walls forces and as such are able to slide over each other. The carbon atom in each layer are held together by strong covalent bonds.

The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other and as such make the graphite fluid.

Thus, the image that shows these layers of graphite is attached to this an answer

What is the definition of visible white light wave (RoyGBive)

uranmaximum [27]

There's no such thing as a wave of white light. Every light wave with
a certain wavelength has some color. White light is a mixture of all
the different wavelengths with all of the different visible colors.
They're ALL there in white light. When they all enter your eye at
the same time, your brain gets the message of brightness with
no particular color, which we call "white light".

How does an electromagnet become permanent

love history [14]

<span>A moving electrical charge produces a magnetic field and a moving magnetic field produces an electrical field. An electromagnet works by coiling a bunch of wire and spinning a couple of magnets around that wire at high speeds. When this occurs the magnets induce an electric current in the wire and hence the electricity production. Once the magnets stop spinning, the induced electrical field dissipates and the current stops flowing through the wire.

Use the five rules to determine the validity of this categorical syllogism:

Novay_Z [31]

Question:

The five rules are;

"The middle term must be distributed in at least one premise.

If a major or minor term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premises.

No syllogism can have two negative premises.

If either premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative.

No syllogism with a particular conclusion can have two universal premises."

Answer:

The categorical syllogism is invalid as it does not meet thr requirements of rule 2

Invalid because it breaks rule #2.

Explanation:

An argument whose conclusion is implied based on the logical stipulation of the premise is a deductive argument

A syllogism is a deductive argument that makes use of deductive reasoning to come to conclusion, considering a number of of two or more premises which are taken to be true.

For categorical syllogism, we have

If A is in C, then B is in C

Based on the five rules, we have

1. The middle term must be distributed at least once

Here, the middle term is all neutron stars are extremely dense hence i says something about all items in a category, therefore it is distributed

2. If a term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premise.

Here, the distributed term in the conclusion are "extremely dense objects" is not distributed in the premise, therefore the categorical syllogism is invalid.

What is it that lives if it is fed, and dies if you give it a drink?

Anna71 [15]

Fire is it that lives if it is fed, and dies if you give it a drink.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Fire is very essential part of human life. It is used for cooking food and for other important activities. Without fire we cannot not survive. Something or the other should be heated before consumption and this can be achieved only with fir. It is also used in the darker places for viewing many things around us.

Thus, fire can survive if we give fuel or any wooden pieces and when water is poured on it it will turn off. Hence Fire is the one that survives when it is fed and dies when water is given as a drink to it.
