A vibration platform oscillates up and down with a fixed amplitude of 8.1 cm and a controlled frequency that can be varied. If a small rock of unknown mass is placed on the platform, at what frequency will the rock just begin to leave the surface so that it starts to clatter? Hint: You should recall the condition that helps determine when two objects lose contact.

Ahypothesis is? close agreement by competent observers of observations of the same phenomena. a guess that has been tested over and over again and always found to be true. an educated guess that has yet to be proven by experiment. the long side of a right triangle. a synthesis of a large collection of information that includes guesses.

The mini-refrigerator fire was most likely caused by what type of wiring?

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.
