The correct answer is 99.06 .

Since we know that,

1 ft = 12 inches, (1ft)3 = (12)3inches3

& 1 inch = 2.54 cm , (1 inch)3 = (2.54)3cm3

& 1 cm3 = 1ml,

&(1 ml)/1000 = 1L, so (1cm3)/1000 = 1L.

& 1 min. = 60 sec.

Now, 1ft3 = (12)3x(2.54)3/(1000) L

and 1 min = 60 sec

So, 1ft3/min = (12)^3x(2.54)^3/(1000)x(60) L/s

Hence 210 ft3/min = 210x(12^)3x(2.54)^3/(1000)x(60).

= 99.06.

-Dominant- [34]

The efficiency of the steam engine is 78.9% because the rest of the work input is used to overcome friction.

<h3>What is efficiency of machines?</h3>

Efficiency of a machine expresses the useful work done by a a machine as a percentage.

Efficiency of a machine = work output/work input × 100 %%

The efficiency of machines are always less than 100% percent due to energy losses due to friction and heat.

For the steam engine:

Work output = 225 J

Work input = 285 J

Efficiency = 225/285 × 100% = 78.9 %

Therefore, the efficiency of the steam engine is 78.9% because the rest of the work input is used to overcome friction.

It decomposes in a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 14 s–1. how long would it take for an initial concentration of 0

VikaD [51]

The rate constant of a reaction can be computed by the ratio of the changes in the concentration and time take taken for it to decompose. Thus, if the rate constant is given to be 14 M/s, we have

$rate = \frac{-(C_{new} - C_{old})}{t}$

where C are the concentration values and t is the time taken for it to decompose.

$14 = \frac{-(0.02 - 0.06)}{t}$
$t = 0.003 s$

Thus, it will take 0.003 s for it to decompose.
Answer: 0.003 s

You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and han

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

2.2nC

Explanation:

Call the amount by which the spring’s unstretched length L,

the amount it stretches while hanging x1

and the amount it stretches while on the table x2.

Combining Hooke’s law with Newton’s second law, given that the stretched spring is not accelerating,

we have mg−kx1 =0, or k = mg /x1 , where k is the spring constant. On the other hand,
