Explanation:

1. Rocks are tougher and stronger as compared to wood.

2. Rocks can be naturally found in various shapes: pointed, flat etc which makes them usable as a tool right away without any major modifications. In case of wood has to be shaped into desired shape.

3. Wood is more prone to weathering due to atmospheric condition in comparison to stones.

Wood isn't as tough as rock. Wood also breaks down in weather and cracks under pressure. Plus rocks were more accessible.

A police officer is called to the scene of a car accident in his accident he sketches the scene and describes it according to hi
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The driver was not telling the truth because it is not possible for a car to hit another car from behind and generate a force to the sides that deflects it from its path.

Explanation:

First, we analyze the driver's statement.

The driver when arriving at the curve, is collided from behind by another car and deviates from his path and crashes into a tree. For the car to go to the tree there must be a force towards the tree.

The net force that causes the car to deviate must be formed by the sum of the motion vector of the first car plus the force that is directed towards the tree.

Here we verify that a car hitting from behind will not generate a force to the sides, but will generate a force in the same direction that the car moves, forward.

A water pump is a positive displacement-type pump true or false
Kay [80]

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.

A gas is compressed from an initial volume of 5.75 L to a final volume of 1.23 L by an external pressure of 1.00 atm. During the
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

<em>The internal energy change is 330.01 J</em>

Explanation:

Given

v_{1} the initial volume = 5.75 L

v_{2} the final volume = 1.23 L

P_{e} is the external pressure = 1.00 atm

q the heat energy removed = -128 J (since is removed from the system)

expansion against a constant external pressure is an example of an irreversible pathway, here pressure in is greater than pressure out and can be obtained thus;

W = -P_{e}ΔV

W = -1.00 x(1.23 - 5.75)

W =  -1.00 x -4.52

W = 4.52 L atm

converting to joules we have

W = 4.52 L atm x 101.33 J/ L atm = 458.01 J

The internal energy change during compression can be calculated thus;

ΔU = q + W

ΔU = -128 J + 458.01 J

ΔU = 330.01 J

Therefore the internal energy change is 330.01 J

A 1200 kg elevator accelerated upwards at 2 m/s2. Draw a force diagram for the elevator. Calculate the force of tension in the c
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

4800

Explanation:

You have to multiply the 1200 kg and the 2 m/s2. Then multiply the other 2 by the 2400 because it was the answer to the first part now after you multiply your answer is 4800.
