Answer:

a) -35.6°C

b) 237.4 K

Explanation:

To convert temperature from degree celsius to degree fahrenheit, use the formula below:

T_c=\frac{5}{9}(T_f-32)

a) Therefore to convert -32°F to celsius, substitute it into the celsius

\begin{gathered} T_c=\frac{5}{9}(-32-32) \\  \\ T_c=\frac{5}{9}(-64) \\  \\ T_c=-35.6^0C \end{gathered}

b) To covert to the Kelvin scale, use the formula below

\begin{gathered} T_k=T_c+273 \\  \\ T_k=-35.6+273 \\  \\ T_k=237.4K \\  \end{gathered}

A ball thrown vertically upward is caught by the thrower after 2.93 s. Find the initial velocity of the ball. The acceleration o
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

time of flight of the ball, t = 2.93 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

initial velocity of the ball, u = ?

The initial velocity of the ball is given by;

v = u + (-g)t

where;

v is the final speed of the ball at the given time, = 0

g is negative because of upward motion

0 = u -gt

u = gt

u = (9.8 x 2.93)

u = 28.714 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

Use Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation to calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force between a 200 kg refrigerator an
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

From newton' s law of universal gravitation,

F = Gmm'/r² .............................. Equation 1

Where F = Gravitational force between the person and the refrigerator, m = mass of the person, m' = mass of the refrigerator, r = distance between the person and the refrigerator. G = gravitational universal constant.

Given: m = 70 kg, m' = 200 kg, r = 0.5 m

Constant: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg².

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹×70×200)/0.5²

F = 93380×10⁻¹¹/0.25

F = 373520×10⁻¹¹

F = 3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Hence the force between the person and the refrigerator =  3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Which term means the distance between two bridge supports?
Ad libitum [116K]

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges  but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in  a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet,  and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

Problem 3.
Korolek [52]

Answer:

143.352 watt.

Explanation:

So, in the question above we are given the following parameters or data or information that is going to assist us in answering the question above efficiently. The parameters are:

"A 1.8 m wide by 1.0 m tall by 0.65m deep home freezer is insulated with 5.0cm thick Styrofoam insulation"

The inside temperature of the freezer = -20°C.

Thickness = 5.0cm = 5.0 × 10^-2 m.

Step one: Calculate the surface area of the freezer. That can be done by using the formula below:

Area = 2[ ( Length × breadth) + (breadth × height) + (length × height) ].

Area = 2[ (1.8 × 0.65) + (0.65 × 1.0) + (1.8 × 1.0)].

Area = 7.24 m^2.

Step two: Calculate the rate of heat transfer by using the formula below;

Rate of heat transfer =[ thermal conductivity × Area (T1 - T2) ]/ thickness.

Rate of heat transfer = 0.022 × 7.24(25+20)/5.0 × 10^-2 = 143.352 watt.
