Answer:the rate of change in velocity

Explanation: acceleration =the change in velocity / time taken the unit is m/s2

While velocity is the distance traveled in a given direction/time taken.the unit is m/s

A retail gasoline pump is able to fill a 14.0 gallon automobile tank in 1.50 minutes. What is the mass flow rate deliverd by the

Ludmilka [50]

We have volume of gasoline = 14.0 gallon

Time taken to fill automobile tank = 1.50 minutes

So volume rate = 14.0 gallon/1.50 minutes = 9.33 gallon/ minute

We have density of gasoline = 0.77 kg/L = 6.073 lb/US gal

Mass rate = Density * Volume rate

= 9.33 gallon/ minute*6.073 lb/US gal = 56.68 lb/min

So mass flow rate delivered by the gasoline pump in lbm/min = 56.68

A small steel roulette ball rolls around the inside of a 30 cm diameter roulette wheel. It is spun at 150 rpm, but is slows to 6

liraira [26]

Solution :

Given

Diameter of the roulette ball = 30 cm

The speed ball spun at the beginning = 150 rpm

The speed of the ball during a period of 5 seconds = 60 rpm

Therefore, change of speed in 5 seconds = 150 - 60

= 90 rpm

Therefore,

90 revolutions in 1 minute

or In 1 minute the ball revolves 90 times

i.e. 1 min = 90 rev

60 sec = 90 rev

1 sec = 90/ 60 rec

5 sec = $\frac{90}{60}\times 5$

= 75 rev

Therefore, the ball made 75 revolutions during the 5 seconds.

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir

TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

$I=I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_ {0}$ indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

$\theta$ indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

$I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)$

Replacing the values,

$I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)$

$I=100*cos^4(20)$

$I=77.91W/m^2$

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is $77.91W/m^2$

A container of gas is at a pressure of 1.3x10^5 Pa and a volume of 6 m^3. How much work is done by the gas if it expands at a co

Ivenika [448]

In thermodynamics, work of a system at constant pressure conditions is equal to the product of the pressure and the change in volume. It is expressed as follows:

W = P(V2 - V1)
W = 1.3x10^5 (2x6 - 6 )
<span>W = 780000 J

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
