1 answer:

4 0

<span> they're both properties of water. both involve the "sticking" property of H2O .</span><span> cohesion is "sticking" together (water sticking to water) and adhesios is water</span><span>
</span> "sticking" to something else. They are both important to life processes.

<span>In chemistry, adhesion refers to the tendency of unlike molecules to bond with one another, while cohesion refers to the attractive force between molecules of the same type. Surface tension, which is an essential property of water, illustrates the relationship between adhesion and cohesion.</span>

The free-body diagram of a crate is shown. What is the net force acting on the crate? 352 N to the left 176 N to the left 528 N

Umnica [9.8K]

As per given conditions there are two directions along which forces are acting

1. Net force along left direction is given as

$F_{left} = 352N + 176 N = 528 N$

2. Net force towards right direction is given as

$F_{right} = 528N + 440 N = 968 N$

now since the two forces here in opposite direction so here we will have net force given as

$F_{net} = F_{right} - F_{left}$

$F_{net} = 968 - 528$

$F_{net} = 440 N$

so here net forces must be 440 N towards right

Determine the length of a copper wire that has a resistance of 0.172 ? and cross-sectional area of 7.85 × 10-5 m2. The resistivi

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Length of copper wire, l = 785 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance of the copper wire, R = 0.172 ohms

Area of cross section, $A=7.85\times 10^{-5}\ m^2$

Resistivity of copper, $\rho=1.72\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m$

The resistance of a wire is given by :

$R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}$

$l=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}$

$l=\dfrac{0.172\ \Omega\times 7.85\times 10^{-5}\ m^2}{1.72\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m}$

l = 785 meters

So, the length of the copper wire is 785 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A mouse runs along a baseboard in your house. The mouse's position as a function of time is given by x(t)=pt2+qt, with p = 0.36

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

0.60 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity from t = a to t = b is:

v_avg = (x(b) − x(a)) / (b − a)

Given that x(t) = 0.36t² − 1.20t, and the time is from 1.0 to 4.0:

v_avg = (x(4.0) − x(1.0)) / (4.0 − 1.0)

v_avg = [(0.36(4.0)² − 1.20(4.0)) − (0.36(1.0)² − 1.20(1.0))] / 3.0

v_avg = [(5.76 − 4.8) − (0.36 − 1.20)] / 3.0

v_avg = [0.96 − (-0.84)] / 3.0

v_avg = 0.60

The average speed is 0.60 m/s.

A 75-hp (shaft output) motor that has an efficiency of 91.0 percent is worn out and is to be replaced by a high- efficiency moto

daser333 [38]

Convert the shaft ouput from HP to kW

Shaft output = 75HP = 55.93kW

1st: Finding for the power consumption based on 55.93kW output

Power consumption (Old) = 55.93kW / .910 = 61.46kW

Power consumption (New) = 55.93kW / .954 = 58.63kW

2nd: Total power used in kWh:

Power Used = Power consumption * load factor * Hours:

Power (Old) = 61.46kW * .75 * 4368 = 201343 kWh

Power (New) = 58.63kW * .75 * 4368 = 192072 kWh

Energy saved = 201343 kWh - 192072 kWh = 9,271 kWh

3rd: Calculating for the price:

Price = kW-Hr * $/kWh

Price (Old) = 201343kWh * $0.08/kWh = $16107.44

Price (New) = 192072 kWh * $0.08/kWh = $15365.76

Cost saved = $16107.44 - $15365.76 = $741.68/yr

4th: Setting up the cost equation:

Cost over time, F(t) = Motor_Cost + (Price * Number of Years, t)

Cost (Old) = 5449 + 16107.44*t

Cost (New) = 5520 + 15365.76*t

Equate the two to find for t when they cost equally:

5449 + 16107.44*t = 5520 + 15365.76*t

16107.44*t = 15365.76*t +71

16107.44*t - 15365.76*t = 71

741.68*t = 71

t = 71 / 741.68 = .095 years = 35 days

So the payback period is after 35 days.

two students are on a balcony 19.6 m above the street. one student throws a ball vertically downward at 14.7 m:ds. at the same i

NARA [144]

A. The difference in the two ball's time in the air is 3 seconds

B. The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

C. The balls 0.500 s after they are thrown are 14.7 m apart

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }$

$\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }$

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

Initial Height = H = 19.6 m

Initial Velocity = u = 14.7 m/s

<u>Unknown:</u>

A. Δt = ?

B. v = ?

C. Δh = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h2>Question A:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - 4.9t^2$

$4.9t^2 + 14.7t - 19.6 = 0$

$t^2 + 3t - 4 = 0$

$(t + 4)(t - 1) = 0$

$(t - 1) = 0$

$\boxed {t = 1 ~ second}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - 4.9t^2$

$4.9t^2 - 14.7t - 19.6 = 0$

$t^2 - 3t - 4 = 0$

$(t - 4)(t + 1) = 0$

$(t - 4) = 0$

$\boxed {t = 4 ~ seconds}$

The difference in the two ball's time in the air is:

$\Delta t = 4 ~ seconds - 1 ~ second$

$\large {\boxed {\Delta t = 3 ~ seconds} }$

<h2>Question B:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gH$

$v^2 = (-14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)$

$v^2 = 600.25$

$v = \sqrt {600.25}$

$\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gH$

$v^2 = (14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)$

$v^2 = 600.25$

$v = \sqrt {600.25}$

$\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}$

The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

<h2>Question C:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 19.6 - 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2$

$\boxed {h = 11.025 ~ m}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 19.6 + 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2$

$\boxed {h = 25.725 ~ m}$

The difference in the two ball's height after 0.500 s is:

$\Delta h = 25.725 ~ m - 11.025 ~ m$

$\large {\boxed {\Delta h = 14.7 ~ m} }$
