The jnd for a 100-gram weight, according to Weber's law will be 10 gram.

<h3>What is Weber's law?</h3>

It should be noted that Weber's law asserts that the nature of any given stimulus will always affect how change is perceived. In other words, the size, weight, importance, etc. of the prior situation and the significance of the change both influence whether a change will be observed.

In this case, it was given that the jnd for a 10-gram weight was 1 gram, therefore, the jnd for 100 gram will be;

= 100 / 10

= 10 gram

Therefore, jnd for a 100-gram weight, according to Weber's law will be 10 grams.

Children are sled riding on a hill One little girl pulls her sled back up the hill and does 379.5 joules of work while pulling i

Serggg [28]

Answer:

2.2N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Work done = 379.5J

Height = 173m

Unknown:

Amount of force exerted on the sled = ?

Solution:

The amount of force she exerted on the sled is the same as her weight.

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance.

Work done = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

mg = weight;

Work done = weight x h

379.5 = weight x 173

weight = $\frac{379.5}{173}$ = 2.2N

A cold beverage can be kept cold even a warm day if it is slipped into a porous ceramic container that has been soaked in water.

Arisa [49]

Answer:

The rate at which the container is losing water is 0.0006418 g/s.

Explanation:

Under the assumption that the can is a closed system, the conservation law applied to the system would be: $E_{in}-E_{out}=E_{change}$ , where $E_{in}$ is all energy entering the system, $E_{out}$ is the total energy leaving the system and, $E_{change}$ is the change of energy of the system.
As the purpose is to kept the beverage can at constant temperature, the change of energy ( $E_{change}$ ) would be 0.
The energy that goes into the system, is the heat transfer by radiation from the environment to the top and side surfaces of the can. This kind of transfer is described by: $Q=\varepsilon*\sigma*A_S*(T_{\infty}^4-T_S^4)$ where $\varepsilon$ is the emissivity of the surface, $\sigma=5.67*10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^2K}$ known as the Stefan–Boltzmann constant, $A_S$ is the total area of the exposed surface, $T_S$ is the temperature of the surface in Kelvin, $T_{\infty}$ is the environment temperature in Kelvin.
For the can the surface area would be ta sum of the top and the sides. The area of the top would be $A_{top}=\pi* r^2=\pi(0.0252m)^2=0.001995m^2$ , the area of the sides would be $A_{sides}=2*\pi*r*L=2*\pi*(0.0252m)*(0.09m)=0.01425m^2$ . Then the total area would be $A_{total}=A_{top}+A_{sides}=0.01624m^2$
Then the radiation heat transferred to the can would be $Q=\varepsilon*\sigma*A_S*(T_{\infty}^4-T_S^4)=1*5.67*10^{-8}\frac{W}{m^2K}*0.01624m^2*((32+273K)^4-(17+273K)^4)=1.456W$ .
The can would lost heat evaporating water, in this case would be $Q_{out}=\frac{dm}{dt}*h_{fg}$ , where $\frac{dm}{dt}$ is the rate of mass of water evaporated and, $h_{fg}$ is the heat of vaporization of the water ( $2257\frac{J}{g}$ ).
Then in the conservation balance: $Q_{in}-Q_{out}=Q_{change}$ , it would be $1.45W-\frac{dm}{dt}*2257\frac{j}{g}=0$ .
Recall that $1W=1\frac{J}{s}$ , then solving for $\frac{dm}{dt}$ : $\frac{dm}{dt}=\frac{1.45\frac{J}{s} }{2257\frac{J}{g} }=0.0006452\frac{g}{s}$

A pump jack scaffold must be fitted with two ______ gripping mechanisms to prevent slippage.

FromTheMoon [43]

A pump jack scaffold must be fitted with two positive gripping mechanisms to prevent slippage. Pump jacks are a uniquely designed scaffold consisting of a platform supported by movable brackets on vertical poles. The brackets are designed to be raised and lowered in a manner similar to an automobile jack. It is important to make sure that pump jack brackets have two positive gripping mechanisms to prevent any failure or slippage.

¿Qué cantidad de calor absorbió una masa de 4 g de cinc al pasar de 20 °C a<br> 180 °C?

Alborosie

(amount of heat)Q = ? , (Mass) m= 4 g , ΔT = T f - T i = 180 c° - 20 °c = 160 °c ,

Ce = 0.093 cal/g. °c

Q = m C ΔT

Q = 4 g × 0.093 cal/g.c° × ( 180 °c- 20 °c )

Q= 4×0.093 × 160

Q = 59.52 cal
