Answer:

$x=-\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

Let:

$f(x)=-3x+4\\\\And\\\\g(x)=2$

We need to know for which value of $x$ the function $f(x)$ is equal to $g(x)$ :

$f(x)=g(x)$

Therefore, we need to solve for the previous equation for $x$ :

Replacing the values of $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ :

$-3x+4=2$

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$-3x+4-4=2-4\\\\-3x=-2$

Multiply both sides by -1

$-3x(-1)=-2(-1)\\\\3x=2$

Divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{2}{3} \\\\x=\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore the value of $x$ for which $f(x)=g(x)$ is $x=\frac{2}{3}$ .

Verify the result:

$-3(\frac{2}{3} )+4=2\\\\-2+4=2\\\\2=2$

How much heat is contained in 100 kg of water at 60.0 °C?

attashe74 [19]

First we need to write down heat capacity for water which is constant.
cp=4186 J/(kg*K)

The equation for Energy that we will be calculating is:

E=cp*m*T
where m is mass and T is absolute temperature (273,15 + 60 in this case). Replacing all the values in equation we get:

E = 4186*100*333,15 = 139 456 590 J

When placed in direct sunlight, which an object will absorb the most visible light energy

Vikentia [17]

I would guess anything that is black? black absorbs there most light energy. that's is why a black car in the sun will always be hotter inside than a white car.

2. Fracture mechanics. A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plan

ikadub [295]

Answer:

the critical flaw is subject to detection since this value of ac (16.8 mm) is greater than the 3.0 mm resolution limit.

Explanation:

This problem asks that we determine whether or not a critical flaw in a wide plate is subject to detection given the limit of the flaw detection apparatus (3.0 mm), the value of KIc (98.9 MPa m), the design stress (sy/2 in which s y = 860 MPa), and Y = 1.0.

$ac=1/\pi (\frac{Klc}{Ys} )^{2}\\ ac=1/\pi(\frac{98.9}{(1)(860/2)} )^{2}\\ ac=0.0168m\\ac=16.8mm$

Therefore, the critical flaw is subject to detection since this value of ac (16.8 mm) is greater than the 3.0 mm resolution limit.

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because

maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as $E = mc^{2}$ where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

$H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

$H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy$

$He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

$4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

Here $e_{+1} ^{0}$ is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e $10^{6} K$

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.

How does kinect energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at 6

mote1985 [20]

If it is the same vehicle, then the 60mph vehicle has more kinetic energy since it is moving faster. Therefore, it requires more energy to stop, and if it is the same car with the same beak system, the braking distance of the 30mph car will be significantly shorter than the 60mph car.
