Explanation:

Water (H2O) as a polar covalent molecule has its arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms where one end (hydrogen) has a partially positive charge while the other side (oxygen) had a partially negative charge.

It is also capable of forming hydrogen bonds with polar molecules. Each water molecule can form two hydrogen bonds involving their hydrogen atoms and two further hydrogen bonds using the hydrogen atoms attached to neighboring water molecules.

A 2 kg block is pushed against a spring (k = 400 N/m), compressing it 0.3 m. When the block is released, it moves along a fricti

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$2.29 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{s}}=0.4$

$4.58 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{k}}=0.2$

Explanation:

Given values

Mass (m) = 2kg

K = 400 N/M

Compressing it 0.3 m

<u>The law of conservation of energy</u>:

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+\frac{k x^{2}}{2}=\text { constant }$

$\text { Where, } \frac{m v^{2}}{2} \text { is kinetic energy of the block. }$

$\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{2}$ Energy of the spring deformation.

M mass of the block

x spring deformation

Therefore, if block left the spring (x = 0)

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+0=0+\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{2}$

Where, Δl is initial spring deformation

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}=\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{2}$

$\mathrm{v}^{2}=\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{m}$

$\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} \times \Delta l^{2}}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{400}{2} \times(0.3)^{2}}$

$\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{200 \times 0.09}$

<u>The law of conservation of energy</u>:

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+m g h=\text { constant }$

Where h is height

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+0=0+m g h$

$\frac{m v^{2}}{2}=m g h$

Cancel mass "m" each side

$\mathrm{h}=\frac{v^{2}}{2 g}$

Distance along incline equals

$\begin{array}{ll}{\text { For friction us }} & {\left(L=\frac{h}{u_{s}}\right)} \\ {\text { For friction } u_{k}} & {\left(L=\frac{h}{u_{k}}\right)}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{s}}=0.4} \\ {\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{k}}=0.2} \\ {\text { For friction } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{s}}}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{h}=\frac{v^{2}}{2 g u_{s}}} \\ {\mathrm{L}=\frac{4.24^{2}}{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.4}} \\ {\mathrm{L}=\frac{17.9776}{784}}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}{L=2.29 \mathrm{m}} \\ {2.29 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{5}=0.4} \\ {\text { For friction } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{k}}} \\ {\mathrm{L}=\frac{4.24^{2}}{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.2}}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}{L=\frac{17.9776}{3.92}} \\ {L=4.58 \mathrm{m}} \\ {4.58 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{5}=0.4}\end{array}$

Why are carbon brushes used? How do these work?

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Why are they used:

A carbon brush is a sliding contact used to transmit electrical current from a static to a rotating part in a motor or generator, and, as regards DC machines, ensuring a spark-free commutation.

When you float an ice cube in water, you notice that 90% of it is submerged beneath the surface. Now suppose you put the same ic

Gwar [14]

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

90% of the body is submerged in water.

Now it is immersed in an unknown liquid whose density is less than the density of water.

Buoyant force acting on the body depends on the volume immersed, density of liquid and gravity.

As the density of liquid is less than the density of water, so the buoyant force acting on the body by the unknown liquid is less than water. So it is submerged less than 90% in this liquid.

Which technique is best for manual in-line stabilization of a person floating faceup on the surface?

zmey [24]

Answer:

vise grip

Explanation:

Manual in-line stabilization (MILS) of the cervical spine is a type of airway management when dealing with patients in traumatic condition ..it is a means that is performed by grasping the mastoid process of the patient, so as to prevent the movement of the cervical column during intubation of the trachea

MLS provides a means of stability to the cervical column for a patient in trauma. During this technique, a patient is restricted from moving his or her cervical collar. The vise grip can be used for a patient with neck injury. The technique is used to roll a patient to face up to prevent further injuries.

Find the energy in Joules required to lift a 55.0 Megagram object a distance of 500 cm.

fredd [130]

Energy to lift something =

(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).

BUT ...

This simple formula only works if you use the right units.

Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters

For this question . . .

Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms

Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²

Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters

So we have ...

Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)

= 2,696,925 joules .

That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.

The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
