Answer:

Some plains form as ice and water erodes, or wears away, the dirt and rock on higher land. Water and ice carry the bits of dirt, rock, and other material, called sediment, down hillsides to be deposited elsewhere. As layer upon layer of this sediment is laid down, plains form. Volcanic activity can also form plains.

What volume (in liters) of gasoline has a total heat of combustion equal to the energy obtained in part (a)? (see section 17.6;

antiseptic1488 [7]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Volume = mass/density

Mass = 0.0565 Kg,

Density = 900 kg/m³

= 0.0565 kg/ 900 kg /m³

= 6.3 × 10^-5 M³

but; 1000 L = 1 m³

Hence, <u>volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L</u>

A 3 kg mass object is pushed 0.6 m into a spring with spring constant 210 N/m on a frictionless horizontal surface. Upon release

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of spring,m=3 kg

Distance moved by object,d=0.6 m

Spring constant,k=210N/m

Height,h=1.5 m

a.Work done to compress the spring initially= $\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(210)(0.6)^2=37.8J$

By conservation law of energy

Initial energy of spring=Kinetic energy of object

$37.8=\frac{1}{2}(3)v^2$

$v^2=\frac{37.8\times 2}{3}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{37.8\times 2}{3}}$

v=5.02 m/s

c.Work done by friction on the incline, $w_{friction}=P.E-spring \;energy$

$W_{friction}=3\times 9.8\times 1.5-37.8=6.3 J$

A fairground ride consists of a large vertical drum that spins so

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

v = 3.84 m/s

Explanation:

In order for the riders to stay pinned against the inside of the drum the frictional force on them must be equal to the centripetal force:

$Centripetal\ Force = Frictional\ Force\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu R = \mu W\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu mg\\\\\frac{v^2}{r} = \mu g\\\\v = \sqrt{\mu gr}$

where,

v = minimum speed = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

r = radius = 10 m

μ = coefficient of friction = 0.15

Therefore,

$v=\sqrt{(0.15)(9.81\ m/s^2)(10\ m)}$

How does the cell membrane work to protect the cell?

LenKa [72]

It forms a protective and adaptive barrier around a cell and this keeps various bacterial and viral intruders out. They also help in keeping cell systems inside the cell. The shell absorbs viruses and bacteria for nutrients when they do not have a certain strand to get inside the cell or trick it otherwise. Hope this helped!

A wave has a wavelength of 125 meters is moving at a speed of 20 m/s. What is it’s frequency?

Ann [662]

Answer: 0.16Hz

Explanation:

Given that:

wavelength (λ) = 125 meters

speed (V) = 20 m/s

frequency (F) = ?

Recall that frequency is the number of cycles the wave complete in one second. And its value depends on the wavelength and speed of the wave.

So, apply the formula V = F λ

Make F the subject formula

F = V / λ

F = 20 m/s / 125 meters

F = 0.16 Hz

Thus, the frequency of the wave is 0.16 Hertz.
