What level of nitrates is considered clean water?

1 answer:

6 0

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard for nitrate in drinking water is 10 milligrams of nitrate (measured as nitrogen) per liter of drinking water (mg/L). * Drinking water with levels of nitrate at or below 10 mg/L is considered safe for everyone.

Consider a small child sliding down two differently shaped slides that have the same coefficient of kinetic friction. How must t

timama [110]

Answer:

Having a bigger angle above the horizontal

Explanation:

Applying the energy conservation theorem:

$K_1+U_1+W_{ext}=K_2+U_2$

The kinetic energy is reduced because of the work done by the friction force.

The friction force is given by:

$F_f=F_N*\µ$

so the friction force depends on the Normal force, because the slide has an angle the normal force is given by:

$F_N=m.g*cos(\theta)$

So when the angle of the slide is bigger, the friction force decreases, for example:

for 45 degrees:

$F_N=m.g*cos(45)\\F_N=0.70(m.g)\\$

for 75 degrees:

$F_N=m.g*cos(75)\\F_N=0.26(m.g)\\$

as you can see if the angle is bigger above the horizontal, the friction force is reduced and so the work done by that force. We didn't have to change the height of the slide, so the potential gravitational energy remains the same.

What is the difference between an elastic and inelastic collision

barxatty [35]

Answer:

In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not

Explanation:

Let's define the two types of collision:

- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:

1) the total momentum of the system is conserved

2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved

Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.

- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:

1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved

2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved

In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.
