7 0

Answer:

719

Explanation:

Conversion

1 picometer (pm) is equivalent to 1 × 10^{-12} meter

1 micrometer is equivalent to 1 × 10^{-6} meter

To find the number of layers, we divide the overal leaf thickness by the thickness of one atom hence dividing tex]0.125 × 10^{-6}[/tex] meter by 174 × 10^{-12} meter we get that the number of sheets will be as follows

\frac {0.125× 10^{-6}}{174\times 10^{-12}}=718.3908045\approx 719

Therefore, they are approximately 719 sheets

Tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second. If the wavelength of each wave is 45 cm, what is the spee
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that, tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second.

We know that the number of waves per second is called the frequency of a wave.

So, f = 17.5 Hz

Wavelength of each wave, \lambda=45\ cm=0.45\ m

Speed of the wave is given by :

v=f\lambda

v=17.5\times 0.45

v = 7.87 m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A coffee cup on the horizontal dashboard of a car slides forward when the driver decelerates from 45 kmh to rest in 3.5 s or les
Svetach [21]

Answer:

μs = 0.36

Explanation:

Assuming no other forces acting on the cup while the car is decelerating, the friction force is responsible for any horizontal movement of the cup.

If the cup is on the verge of starting to slide, the friction force can be expressed as follows:

Ff = -μs*N = -μs*m*g

This force produces a deceleration from 45 Kmh to rest, in 3.5 s or  more.

Converting 45 kmh to m/s, we have:

45 kmh *\frac{1000m}{1km} * \frac{1h}{3600 s} = 12.5 m/s

We can find the acceleration, just applying the definition, with vf =0, as follows:

a = \frac{-vf}{t} =\frac{-12.5m/s}{3.5s} = -3.57 m/s2

According to Newton's 2nd law, we can write the following expression:

F = m*a = -μs*m*g

Simplifying common terms, we can solve for μs, as follows:

μs = \frac{a}{-g} =\frac{-3.57 m/s2}{-9.80m/s2} = 0.36

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

shear stress is the measure of the material's resistance to cause "sliding" motion of its layers. 
<span>Since the hero has to take a cylindrical piece of metal out, the area which will cause this force is 2*pi*r*l (put r and l in SI units to get answer in Newtons) </span>
<span>so the force required is shear strength into this area (2.60109 * 2 * pi * r * l) </span>
