Why is platinum used sparingly in technological applications?

Physics

Platinum is very light and strong alloy, though is has many uses, what prevents is economic consideration, is that platinum is very expensive. It is being in jewelry. Platinum is also used in the chemical industry as a catalyst for the production of nitric acid.silicone benzene. Platinum compounds  is also used as important chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer.

A child of mass m is at the edge of a merry-go-round of diameter d. When the merry-go-round is rotating with angular acceleratio
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The torque on the child is now the same, τ.

Explanation:

  • It can be showed that the external torque applied by a net force on a rigid body, is equal to the product of the moment of inertia of the body with respect to the axis of rotation, times the angular acceleration.
  • In this case, as the movement of the child doesn't create an external torque, the torque must remain the same.
  • The moment of inertia is the sum of the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round (the same that for a solid disk) plus the product of  the mass of the child times the square of the distance to the center.
  • When the child is standing at the edge of the merry-go-round, the moment of inertia is as follows:

       I_{to} = I_{d} + m*r^{2}  = m*\frac{r^{2}}{2} +  m*r^{2} = \frac{3}{2}*  m*r^{2} (1)

  • So, τ = 3/2*m*r²*α (2)
  • When the child moves to a position half way between the center and the edge of the merry-go-round, the moment of inertia of the child decreases, as the distance to the center is less than before, as follows:

       I_{t} = I_{d} + m*\frac{r^{2}}{4}   = m*\frac{r^{2}}{2} + m*\frac{r^{2}}{4}  = \frac{3}{4}*  m*r^{2} (3)

  • Since the angular acceleration increases from α to 2*α, we can write the torque expression as follows:

       τ = 3/4*m*r² * (2α) = 3/2*m*r²

        same result than in (2), so the torque remains the same.

A forklift does 450 J of work to lift a 150 N hot tub. How high is the hot tub lifted? Round your answer to the nearest whole nu
vivado [14]
There are already 2 givens, hence we can do direct substitution to get the answer. To make the process simpler, derive the distance formula from the Work formula.

Work = Force x Distance

Distance = \frac{Work}{Force}


Work is 450J while the force is 150N hot tub

To get the proper units, get the equivalent of Joule to eliminate newton. A joule Is equal to 1 N-m

Distance = \frac{450N-m}{150N}
Distance = 3m

Hence, the hot tub is lifted 3 meters.
