Does without slipping mean no friction? For many dynamics problems, rolling without slipping means there is a friction force acting on the wheel at the contact point P. This friction force prevents slipping. In this instance the friction is known as static friction since there is no relative sliding between the wheel and surface at […]
How do I mask an image layer?
Can a car run on jet fuel?
Can a car run on jet fuel? Jet fuel can actually be used in cars, but only in diesel engines. Kerosene jet fuel and diesel are actually similar enough to allow for cross-functionality and would provide a similar performance. Both are derived from crude oil, and both run their respective engines on combustion. How much […]
What does velocity relative to the ground mean?
What does velocity relative to the ground mean? The velocity of the object measured relative to the ground is called the ground speed. Again, this is a vector quantity. Airspeed is the vector difference between the ground speed and the wind speed. On a perfectly still day, the airspeed is equal to the ground speed. […]
Is nitrogen-14 an isotope?
Is nitrogen-14 an isotope? Nitrogen-14 is one of two stable (non-radioactive) isotopes of the chemical element nitrogen, which makes about 99.636% of natural nitrogen. Nitrogen-14 is one of the very few stable nuclides with both an odd number of protons and of neutrons (seven each) and is the only one to make up a majority […]
When two particles with like charges are close enough to interact is the potential energy positive or negative?
When two particles with like charges are close enough to interact is the potential energy positive or negative? The graphs of potential energy between two charges for like and unlike charges are shown below. For like charges, the potential energy is always positive, that is because we need to put energy in the system to […]
Which country is coal rich and oil poor?
Which country is coal rich and oil poor? India: Rich in coal but poor in energy. What is chemical formula of oil? The chemical formula for crude oil is CnH2n+2, where n is a positive integer. Crude oil is basically a combination of several hydrocarbon molecules, comprising hydrogen, H and carbon atoms, C. Among the […]
What is a good crop productivity index?
What is a good crop productivity index? CSR2 ranges from 5 (least productive) to 100 (most productive). CSR2 lets farmers and landowners easily compare productivity across farms. For example, a farm with an average CSR2 of 85 is significantly more productive than one with an average CSR2 of 60. How do you define productivity? Productivity […]
What was the conclusion of the gold foil experiment?
What was the conclusion of the gold foil experiment? Rutherford’s gold foil experiment showed that the atom is mostly empty space with a tiny, dense, positively-charged nucleus. Based on these results, Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of the atom. Why was gold foil used in Rutherford’s experiment? Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because […]
