In the sport of curling, large smooth stones are slid across an ice court to land on a target. Sometimes the stones need to move

a bit farther across the ice and other times players want the stones to stop a bit sooner. Suggest a way to increase the kinetic friction between the stone and the ice so that the stone stops more quickly. Next, suggest a way to decrease the kinetic friction between the stone and the ice so that the stone slides farther along the ice before coming to a stop

Answer:

To increase kinetic friction, the amount of fine water droplets sprayed before the game is limited.

To reduce kinetic friction. increase the amount of fine water droplets during pregame preparation and sweeping in front of the curling stones.

Explanation:

In curling sports, since the ice sheets are flat, the friction on the stone would be too high and the large smooth stone would not travel half as far. Thus controlling the amount of fine water droplets sprayed before the game is limited pregame is necessary to increase friction.

On the other hand, reducing ice kinetic friction involves two ways. The first way is adding bumps to the ice which is known as pebbling. Fine water droplets are sprayed onto the flat ice surface. These droplets freeze into small "pebbles", which the curling stones "ride" on as they slide down the ice. This increases contact pressure which lowers the friction of the stone with the ice. As a result, the stones travel farther, and curl less.  

The second way to reduce the kinetic friction is sweeping in front of the large smooth stone. The sweeping action quickly heats and melts the pebbles on the ice leaving a film of water. This film reduces the friction between the stone and ice.

2. A pebble is dropped down a well and hits the water 1.5 s later. Using the equations for motion with constant acceleration, de
kow [346]

Answer:

S = 11.025 m

Explanation:

Given,

The time taken by the pebble to hit the water surface is, t = 1.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Using the II equations of motion

                          S = ut + 1/2 gt²

Here u is the initial velocity of the pebble. Since it is free-fall, the initial velocity

                                u = 0

Therefore, the equation becomes

                            S = 1/2 gt²

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                              S = 0.5 x 9.8 x 1.5²

                                 = 11.025 m

Hence, the distance from the edge of the well to the water's surface is, S = 11.025 m

Calculate the number of moles in each of the following masses: 0.039 g of palladium 0.0073 kg of tantalum
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

<em>The number of moles of palladium and tantalum are 0.00037 mole and 0.0000404 mole respectively</em>

Explanation:

Number of mole = reacting mass/molar mass

n = R.m/m.m......................... Equation 1

Where n = number of moles, R.m = reacting mass, m.m = molar mass.

For palladium,

R.m = 0.039 g and m.m = 106.42 g/mol

Substituting theses values into equation 1

n = 0.039/106.42

n = 0.00037 mole

For tantalum,

R.m = 0.0073 and m.m = 180.9 g/mol

Substituting these values into equation 1

n = 0.0073/180.9

n = 0.0000404 mole

<em>Therefore the number of moles of palladium and tantalum are 0.00037 mole and 0.0000404 mole respectively</em>

Two parallel co-axial disks are floating in deep space (far from sun and planets). Each disk is 1 meter in diameter and the disk
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

T₂ = 5646 K

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the power received by the first disc, for this we use Stefan's law

          P = σ. A e T⁴

Where next is the Stefam-Bolztmann constant with value 5,670 10-8 W / m² K⁴, A is the area of ​​the disk, T the absolute temperature and e the emissivity that for a black body is  1

The intensity is defined as the amount of radiation that arrives per unit area. For this we assume that the radiation expands uniformly in all directions, the intensity is

           I = P / A

Writing this expression for both discs

          I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

          I₂ = I₁ A₁ / A₂

The area of ​​a sphere is

          A = 4π r²

           I₂ = I₁ (r₁ / r₂)²

          r₂ = r₁ ± 5

          I₁ = I₂ ( (r₁ ± 5)/r₁)²

.

        Let's write the Stefan equation

         P / A = σ e T⁴

          I = σ e T⁴

This is the intensity that affects the disk, substitute in the intensity equation

         σ e₁ T₁⁴ = σ e₂ T₂⁴ (r₂ / r₁)²

The first disc indicates that it is a black body whereby e₁ = 1, the second disc, as it is painted white, the emissivity is less than 1, the emissivity values ​​of the white paint change between 0.90 and 0.95, for this calculation let's use 0.90 matt white

        e₁ T₁⁴ = T₂⁴   (r1 + 5)²/r₁²

       T₁ = T₂  {(e₂/e₁)}^{1/4}  √(1 ± 1/ r₁)  

If we assume that r₁ is large, which is possible since the disks are in deep space, we can expand the last term

           (1 ±x) n = 1 ± n x

Where x = 5 / r₁ << 1

We replace

          T₁ = T₂ {(e₂/e₁)}^{1/4}  (1 ± ½   5/r1)

           T₁ = T₂ {(e₂)}^{1/4}   (1 ± 5/2 1/r1)

If the discs are far from the star, they indicate that they are in deep space, the distance r₁ from being grade by which we can approximate; this is a very strong approach

              T₁ = T₂  {(e₂)}^{1/4} ¼

              T<u>₁</u> = T₂  0.90.9^{1/4}

               5500 = T₂  0.974

               T₂ = 5646 K

A coaxial cable consists of a solid inner cylindrical conductor of radius 2 mm and an outer cylindrical shell of inner radius 3
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

d) 1.2 mT

Explanation:

Here we want to find the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 2.5 mm from the axis of the coaxial cable.

First of all, we observe that:

- The internal cylindrical conductor of radius 2 mm can be treated as a conductive wire placed at the axis of the cable, since here we are analyzing the field outside the radius of the conductor. The current flowing in this conductor is

I = 15 A

- The external conductor, of radius between 3 mm and 3.5 mm, does not contribute to the field at r = 2.5 mm, since 2.5 mm is situated before the inner shell of the conductor (at 3 mm).

Therefore, the net magnetic field is just given by the internal conductor. The magnetic field produced by a wire is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I = 15 A is the current in the conductor

r = 2.5 mm = 0.0025 m is the distance from the axis at which we want to calculate the field

Substituting, we find:

B=\frac{(4\pi\cdot 10^{-7})(15)}{2\pi(0.0025)}=1.2\cdot 10^{-3}T = 1.2 mT
