Long sand ridges oriented at right angles to the wind are called _____ dunes

S_A_V [24]

The answer is:

Transverse dune

The explanation:

Transverse dune : is abundant barchan dunes It may merge into barchanoid ridges, which then grade into linear .

The transverse dunes is called that because they lie transverse, or across, the wind direction, with the wind blowing perpendicular to the ridge crest.

It is large, very asymmetrical, elongated dune lying at right angles 90° to the prevailing wind direction.

Transverse dunes have a gently sloping windward side and a steeply sloping leeward side.

They general form in areas of sparse vegetation and abundant sand are transverse dunes.

A woman exerts a horizontal force of 113 N on a crate with a mass of 31.2 kg.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a) 113N

b) 0.37

Explanation:

a) Using the Newton's second law:

\sum Fx =ma

Since the crate doesn't move (static), acceleration will be zero. The equation will become:

\sum Fx = 0

\sumFx = Fm - Ff = 0.

Fm is the applied force

Ff is the frictional force

Since Fm - Ff = 0

Fm = Ff

This means that the applied force is equal to the force of friction if the crate is static.

Since applied force is 113N, hence the magnitude of the static friction force will also be 113N

b) Using the formula

Ff = nR

n is the coefficient of friction

R is the reaction = mg

R = 31.2 × 9.8

R = 305.76N

From the formula

n = Ff/R

n = 113/305.76

n = 0.37

Hence the minimum possible value of the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.37

If an object has zero acceleration, does it have to have zero velocity?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Yes, the velocity would also be zero.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, therefore, there has to be a change in velocity for something to accelerate. which means without acceleration, the object has no velocity.

the kinetic energy of an object of mass in moving with a velocity of 5 MS -1 is 25j what will be its kinetic energy when its vel

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

<em>When the speed is doubled, K = 100 J, when the speed is tripled, K = 225 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy </u>

Is the type of energy an object has due to its speed. It's proportional to the square of the speed.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

The object has a kinetic energy of K=25 J when moving at v=5 m/s, thus the mass can be calculated by solving for m:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{2K}{v^2}$

$\displaystyle m=\frac{2*25}{5^2}=2$

m = 2 Kg

If the speed is doubled, v=10 m/s, the new kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}2\cdot 10^2$

K = 100 J

If the speed is tripled, v=15 m/s, the new kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}2\cdot 15^2$

K = 225 J

When the speed is doubled, K = 100 J, when the speed is tripled, K = 225 J

Technician A says that the battery must be in good condition and at least 75% charged to accurately test an alternator. Technici

aalyn [17]

Answer:Technician A

Explanation:

Technician A statement is correct as

The battery is required to start the vehicle which, in effect, rotates the alternator at sufficient speed to keep the battery charged. This means if the battery is low it is not possible to start the vehicle and thus we are unable to test the alternator.

That is the battery is pre-requisite to test the alternator. So the battery must be at least a 75 % charge to test the alternator.
