Technician A says that the freezing point of a substance is the temperature at which the substance changes state from a solid to

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Technician B is correct

Explanation:

Freezing is a method of conversion of substance in its liquid state to solid state. It is the process by which a liquid substance changes to a solid at a particular temperature.

Increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature of a liquid increases its freezing point. For example, in other to freeze water i.e to change water to ice, it has to be kept in a fridge at a temperature lower than the temperature of the water. The essence of covering the fridge after placing the water in the fridge is to increase the pressure of the liquid hence increasing its freezing rate.

Based on the above explanation, it can be concluded that technician B is correct.

vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses

dsp73

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

$v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}$

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

$v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s$

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

$E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}$

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

$k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m$

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

A hill that has a 28.1% grade is one that rises 28.1 m vertically for every 100.0 ml of distance in the horizontal direction. At

Serhud [2]

Answer:

$\theta=15.70^\circ$

Explanation:

A right triangle is formed, in which the vertical elevation is the opposite cathetus and the horizontal distance is the adjacent cathetus, since we know these two values, we can calculate the angle of inclination using the definition of tangent:

$tan\theta=\frac{opp}{adj}\\\theta=arctan(\frac{opp}{adj})\\\theta=arctan(\frac{28.1m}{100m})\\\theta=15.70^\circ$
