The specific weight of sea water is 10.1 kN/m^3. Convert to lbs/in^3.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.03719 lbs/in³

Explanation:

Specific weight is given by multiplying the density of an object to the acceleration due to gravity.

$\gamma =\rho g\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{gamma}{g}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{10.1\times 10^3}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1029.562\ kg/m^3$

$1\ kg=2.20462\ lb$

$1\ m=39.3701\ in$

$\\\Rightarrow 1029.562\ kg/m^3=\frac{1029.562\times 2.20462}{39.3701^3}=0.03719\ lbs/in^3$

So,

$10.1\ kN/m^3=0.03719\ lbs/in^3$

The change in momentum of an object is equal to the ____________ that acts on it.

meriva

Answer : The change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.

Explanation :

Change in momentum : The change in momentum of an object is the product of the mass and the change in velocity of an object.

The formula of change in momentum is,

$\Delta p=m\times \Delta v$

Impulse : An impulse of an object is the product of the force applied on an object and the change in time. Impulse is also equivalent to the change in momentum of an object.

$J=F\times \Delta t$

Proof :

$J=F\times \Delta t\\\\J=(m\times a)\times \Delta t\\\\J=m\times (a\times \Delta t)\\\\J=m\times \Delta v=\Delta p$

Hence, the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.
