Friction depends partly on the smoothness of the contacting surfaces, a greater force being needed to move two surfaces past one another if they are rough than if they are smooth.

Explain nuclear reactions, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Nuclear reaction is a reaction in which nucleus of the atom undergoes a change.

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example : 4_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+2_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

Example: _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}

In a lab, a 5 L sample of gas with a pressure of 6 atm was transferred to a one liter flask.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

30 atm

Explanation:

P1V1 = P2V2

P2 = P1V1/V2

P2 = (6 atm * 5 L) / 1L

P2= 30 atm

A simple pendulum with a length of 2.23 m and a mass of 6.74 kg is given an initial speed of 2.06 m/s at its equi- librium posit
solniwko [45]

Answer:

a)   T = 2.997 s

b)   K = 14.3 J

c)   φ = 0.444 rad

Explanation:

a) Determine its period

  The pendulum simple’s period is:

 

  T = 2π\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

        Where l: Pendulum’s length

                    g = 9.8 m/s2

  T = 2π\sqrt{\frac{2.23}{9.8} }

  T = 2.997 s

b) Total energy

  Initially his total energy is kinetic

  K = \frac{mv^{2} }{2}

  K = \frac{(6.74)(2.06)^{2} }{2}

  K = 14.3 J

c) Maximum angular displacement

  φ = cos^{-1}(1-\frac{E}{mgl} )

  φ = cos^{-1}(1-\frac{14.3}{(6.74)(9.8)(2.23)} )

  φ = 0.444 rad

State four advantages of Mercury over alcohol as thermometric liquids​
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

  • Alcohol wets glass while mercury doesn't
  • Alcohol has a lower boiling point and hence cannot be used to measure very high temperature.
  • Alcohol is colorless and is very difficult to read without coloration.
  • Mercury's expansion is uniform.

answers Collision derivation problem. If the car has a mass of 0.2 kg, the ratio of height to width of the ramp is 12/75, the in
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

4.8967m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

M = 0.2kg

∆p = 0.58kgm/s

S(i) = 2.25m

Ratio h/w = 12/75

Firstly, we use conservation of momentum to find the velocity

Therefore, ∆p = MV

0.58kgm/s = 0.2V

V = 0.58/2

V = 2.9m/s

Then, we can use the conservation of energy to solve for maximum height the car can go

E(i) = E(f)

1/2mV² = mgh

Mass cancels out

1/2V² = gh

h = 1/2V²/g = V²/2g

h = (2.9)²/2(9.8)

h = 8.41/19.6 = 0.429m

Since we have gotten the heigh, the next thing is to solve for actual slant of the ramp and initial displacement using similar triangles.

h/w = 0.429/x

X = 0.429×75/12

X = 2.6815

Therefore, by Pythagoreans rule

S(ramp) = √2.68125²+0.429²

S(ramp) = 2.64671

Finally, S(t) = S(ramp) + S(i)

= 2.64671+2.25

= 4.8967m
