Imagine you’re driving along a road and you approach a bridge. You notice a sign that reads, “Bridge freezes before road.” Why d

<u>Answer:</u>

<h3>During wet and freezing temperatures, ice is able to form at a faster pace on bridges because freezing winds blow from above and below and both sides of the bridge, causing heat to quickly escape. The road freezes slower because it is merely losing heat through its surface.</h3>

Explica la relación entre momento de torsión y aceleración angular mencionando tres ejemplos Una varilla uniforme delgada mide 1
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

1) τ = I α    whereby the torque is provided by the angular acceleration

2)  L = 216 Kg m² / s

Explanation:

1) Let's start with Newton's second law

       F = m a

multiply by the arm or perpendicular distance

       F r = m a r

if the distance is not perpendicular a way of realizing the relations using the vector product

      τ = F r = F x r

the bold are vectors.  The angular and linear acceleration are related

       a = α r=

         

      τ = m (α r) r

      τ = (m r²) α

the inertia of the rotational motion is

        I = m r²

we substitute

       τ = I α

whereby the torque is provided by the angular acceleration.

As an example we have:

* a spinning disk

* a ball rotating in the air

* a pulley

2) The rotational momentum is

           L = I w

the moment of inertia of a rod that through its center

           I = m L²

we substitute

           L = m L² w

let's calculate

          L = 6 1.5 2 16

          L = 216 Kg m² / s

s344n2d4d5 [400]
No, she has it backward.  Waves interfere with each other and reflect off objects.  When two waves overlap their amplitudes add.  If they have the same sign this addition is constructive, meaning the amplitudes grow.  If they have opposite signs this constitutes subtraction and the waves can partially, or completely cancel.  This is known as interference.  Reflection occurs when waves travel from one medium to another.  If the wave impedance of the new medium is different (which it generally is) there will be a partial, or even total, reflection.

At 213.1 K a substance has a vapor pressure of 45.77 mmHg. At 243.7 K it has a vapor pressure of 193.1 mm Hg. Calculate its heat
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

20.3125 kJ/mol

Explanation:

P_{i} = initial vapor pressure = 45.77 mm Hg

P_{f} = final vapor pressure = 193.1 mm Hg

T_{i} = initial temperature = 213.1 K

T_{f} = final temperature = 243.7 K

H = Heat of vaporization

Using the equation

ln\left ( \frac{P_{f}}{P_{i}} \right ) = \left ( \frac{-H}{R} \right )\left ( \frac{1}{T_{f}} - \frac{1}{T_{i}}\right)

ln\left ( \frac{193.1}{45.77} \right ) = \left ( \frac{-H}{8.314} \right )\left ( \frac{1}{243.7} - \frac{1}{213.1}\right)

H = 20312.5 J/mol

H = 20.3125 kJ/mol

The temperature, T, of a gas is jointly proportional to the pressure P of the gas and the volume V occupied by the gas. Use C as
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

T=C*P*V

Explanation:

It is said that a variable - let's call 'y' -, is proportional to another - let's call it 'x' - if x and y are multiplicatively connected to a constant 'C'. It means that their product (x*y) can be always equaled to the constant 'C' or their division (\frac{x}{y}) can be always equaled to 'C'. The first case is the case of the inverse proportionality: It is said that x and y are inversely proportional if

x*y=C

The second case is the case of the direct proportionality: It is said that x and y are directly proportional if

\frac{x}{y} =C : x is directly proportional to y.

or

\frac{y}{x} =C : y is directly proportional to x.

Always that any text does not specify about directly or inversely proportionality, it is assumed to mean directly automatically.

For our case, we are said that the temperature T is proportional to the pressure P and the volume V (we assume that it means directly); it is a double proportionality but follows the same rules:

If T were just proportional to P, we would have:

\frac{T}{P} =C

If T were just proportional to V, we would have:

\frac{T}{V} =C

As T is proportional to both P and V, the right equation is:

\frac{T}{P*V}=C

In order to isolate the temperature, let's multiply (P*V) at each side of the equation:

\frac{T}{P*V}*(P*V)=C*(P*V)\\T=C*P*V
