Answer: 2. Weight can be measured in pounds.

Explanation: 1. False. Mass can be measured in kilograms not Newton’s. Newton’s is a measurement of force not mass.

3. False. A bowling ball is more massive, therefore when multiplied by acceleration of gravity it weighs more.

4. False. In different gravitational fields such as the moon versus the earth, objects will have different weights.

What is the gauge pressure of the water right at the point p, where the needle meets the wider chamber of the syringe? neglect t

Helen [10]

Missing details: figure of the problem is attached.

We can solve the exercise by using Poiseuille's law. It says that, for a fluid in laminar flow inside a closed pipe,

$\Delta P = \frac{8 \mu L Q}{\pi r^4}$

where:

$\Delta P$ is the pressure difference between the two ends

$\mu$ is viscosity of the fluid

L is the length of the pipe

$Q=Av$ is the volumetric flow rate, with $A=\pi r^2$ being the section of the tube and $v$ the velocity of the fluid

r is the radius of the pipe.

We can apply this law to the needle, and then calculating the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. For our problem, we have:

$\mu=0.001 Pa/s$ is the dynamic water viscosity at $20^{\circ}$

L=4.0 cm=0.04 m

$Q=Av=\pi r^2 v= \pi (1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 \cdot 10 m/s =3.14 \cdot 10^{-5} m^3/s$

and r=1 mm=0.001 m

Using these data in the formula, we get:

$\Delta P = 3200 Pa$

However, this is the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. But the end of the needle is at atmosphere pressure, and therefore the gauge pressure (which has zero-reference against atmosphere pressure) at point P is exactly 3200 Pa.

A 3.7-kg object is acted on by two forces. One of the forces is 11 N acting toward the

vitfil [10]

Answer:

F₂ = -7.3 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of an object, m₁ = 3.7 kg

First force, F₁ = 11 N

The net acceleration of the object is 1 m/s².

We know that,

F₁+F₂ = ma

11+F₂ = (3.7)(1)

F₂ = 3.7-11

F₂ = -7.3 N

so, the other force is 7.3 N and it is acting in west direction.

Heat is transferred at a rate of 2 kW from a hot reservoir at 800 K to a cold reservoir at 300 K. Calculate the rate at which th

vekshin1

Answer:

0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Second law is satisfied.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Rate of heat transfer, Q = 2kW

Temperature of hot reservoir, Th = 800K

Temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 300K

The rate of entropy change is given as:

ΔS = Q * [(1/Tc) - (1/Th)]

ΔS = 2 * (1/300 - 1/800)

ΔS = 2 * 0.002085

ΔS = 0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Since ΔS is greater than 0, te the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied.

A larger object is made of two balls separated by a massless rigid rod that is 1.5 m long. The mass of the red ball at one end i

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The speed of the 1 kg red ball 8.04 m/s .

Explanation:

Given :

Separation between rods , d = 1.5 m .

Mass of the red ball is 1 kg .

Mass of the orange ball is 5.7 kg .

Angular velocity , $\omega=1\ rev/s = 2\pi\ rad/s$ .

Now , distance of center of mass from red ball is :

$r =\dfrac{0\times 1+1.5\times 5.7}{1+5.7}\\\\r = 1.28\ m$

We know , speed is given by :

$v=\omega r\\\\v=2 \times \pi \times 1.28\\\\v=8.04\ m/s$

Hence , this is the required solution .

A force exerted on an object produces acceleration. If the mass remains the same and the acceleration is doubled, the force must

Inga [223]

<h2>Answer</h2>

The force will be doubled.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Using Newton Law II,

So it can be seen in the formula that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.

if mass is doubled ---> force will be doubled, keeping acceleration constant.

Similarly,

if acceleration is doubled ---? force is will be doubled, keeping mass constant.

<em>It is assumed that there is no friction, the object is in the air with no air resistance.</em>
