Which statement best explains why a wet saw used to cut through a fine optical crystals is constantly lubricated with oil

Physics

The major reason why a wet saw that is used in cutting optical crystals is constantly lubricated with oil is largely due to friction, lubrication decreases friction and minimises the increase of internal energy.

Friction is basically the coming together of two parts that rubs against each other, it causes heat and lead to  deterioration of surfaces, it can also lead to wear and tear.

Although, despite it down side, friction is desire-able in most applications

e.g the brake system of vehicles, and if not for friction, we humans cannot walk without falling

Two balls have their centers 2.0 m apart. One ball has a mass of m1 = 7.9 kg. The other has a mass of m2 = 6.1 kg. What is the g
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

From newton's law of universal gravitation,

F = Gm1m2/r² .............................. Equation 1

Where F = Gravitational force between the balls, m1 = mass of the first ball, m2 = mass of the second ball, r = distance between their centers.

G = gravitational constant

Given: m1 = 7.9 kg, m2 = 6.1 kg, r = 2.0 m, G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/C²

Substituting into equation 1

F = 6.67×10⁻¹¹×7.9×6.1/2²

F = 321.427×10⁻¹¹/4

F = 30.36×10⁻¹¹

F = 3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N

Hence the force between the balls = 3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N

An object is moving but we don't know its mass or velocity. A force of 20 newtons to the right
jok3333 [9.3K]

The impulse is (force) x (time) = (20 N) x (20 sec) = 400 N-sec

When we grind through the units, we find that the [newton-second]
is exactly the same as the [kilogram-meter/sec] unit-wise, and once
we know that, it doesn't surprise us to learn that impulse is equivalent
to a change in momentum (mass x speed ... also kg-m/s).

So this impulse exerted on the moving object adds 400 kg-m/s of
linear momentum to its motion, directed to the right.  That may or
may not be the total change in its momentum during that 20-sec,
because our 20-N may not be the only force acting on it.

In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

W = 16.5 Kj

P = 49.9 Watt

E = 16471

Explanation:

m = 73.5kg

t = 5min 30sec = (5×60) + 30 = 330sec

each step = 16.6cm = 0.166m

h = 135×0.166 = 22.41 m

g = 10 m/s²

(i) W = F × s = W × h = mgh

W = 73.5×10×22.41 = 16471.35

W = 16.5 Kj

(ii) Power = workdone/time

P = 16471.35/330

P = 49.9 Watt

(iii) The energy burnt in this process = 16471

Which waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are considered high energy waves ?​

Gamma ray and x Ray I’m pretty sure. Because they have the shortest wavelengths but the highest energy wave. Hope this helped :)
