What is the melting point of sand

Physics
1 answer:
telo118 [61]2 years ago
8 0
The kind of heat necessary to transform sand into a liquid state (eventually becoming glass) is much hotter than any sunny day. To make sand melt, you need to heat it to roughly 1700°C (3090°F), which is approximately the same temperature a space shuttle reaches as it re-enters earth's atmosphere.

Hannah has information about an object in circular orbit around Earth.
Elena-2011 [213]

The correct answer is:

the distance of the orbiting object to Earth.

In fact, we know that the gravitational force that keeps the object in circular motion around the Earth is equal to the centripetal force, so we can write:

G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

If we re-arrange the equation, we find an expression for the tangential speed of the object:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

and we see that it depends on 3 quantities: G, M (the mass of the Earth) and r (the distance of the object from the Earth).

A stone is tied to a 0.85-meter cord. it is swung in a circle at a constant rate of 6.0 m/s. what is the centripetal acceleratio
Andrei [34K]

Answer:42.4m/s^2

Explanation:

Velocity(v)=6m/s

Radius(r)=0.85 meter

Centripetal acceleration=(v x v) ➗ r

Centripetal acceleration=(6 x 6) ➗ 0.85

Centripetal acceleration=36 ➗ 0.85

Centripetal acceleration=42.4

What is entropy and how is it related to string theory?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

String theory proposes that the fundamental constituents of the universe are one-dimensional “strings” rather than point-like particles. String theory also requires six or seven extra dimensions of space, and it contains ways of relating large extra dimensions to small ones. In statistical mechanics, entropy is an extensive property of a thermodynamic system. It quantifies the number Ω of microscopic configurations that are consistent with the macroscopic quantities that characterize the system theyre related  It later developed into superstring theory, which posits a connection called supersymmetry between bosons and the class of particles called fermions. Five consistent versions of superstring theory were developed before it was conjectured in the mid-1990s that they were all different limiting cases of a single theory in 11 dimensions known as M-theory. In late 1997, theorists discovered an important relationship called the AdS/CFT correspondence, which relates string theory to another type of physical theory called a quantum field theory.

an 1150kg elevator moving down speeds up at a rate of 3.5m/s. what is the tension in the supporting cables?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The tension force in the supporting cables is 7245N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the elevator: the force of gravity pointing down (+) with magnitude (elevator mass) x (gravitational acceleration), and the tension force of the cable pointing up (-) with an unknown magnitude F. The net force is the sum of these forces:

F_{net} = F_g - F = m\cdot g - F\\

We are given the resulting acceleration along with the mass, i.e., we know the net force, allowing us to solve for F:

1150kg\cdot 3.5\frac{m}{s^2}= 1150kg \cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}-F\\\implies F = 1150kg\cdot(9.8-3.5)\frac{m}{s^2}= 7245N

The tension force F in the supporting cables is 7245N
