A commonly used unit of mass in the English system is the pound-mass, abbreviated lbm, where 1 lbm = 0.454 kg. What is the densi

ty of glycerine in pound-mass per cubic foot? (Assume the density of glycerine is 1.26 ✕ 103 kg/m3.)

Answer: The density of glycerine will be $0.028lbm/foot^3$

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

$Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}$

Given:

Density of glycerine= $1.26\times 10^3kg/m^3$

1 lbm = 0.454 kg

1 kg = $\frac{1}{0.454}=2.2lbm$

Thus $0.454kg=\frac{2.2}{1}\times 0.454=0.99$

Also $1m^3=35.3147foot^3$

Putting in the values we get:

$Density=\frac{0.99lbm}{35.3147}=0.028lbm/foot^3$

Thus density of glycerine will be $0.028lbm/foot^3$

What is the tangential speed of a point on a wheel of a car if the point is located 0.114 m from the axis of rotation; and the w

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Tangential speed = R * w where w is the angular speed

For a wheel v = .114 m * 6.53 / sec = .744 m/s

Note that this is the tangential speed - If the wheel were moving at speed V then as viewed from the ground you have

top V + v

bottom V - v

That is the wheel also has speed due to the speed of the axle (axis of rotation)

How do you think the amount of a material affects its tendency to sink or float?

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Things float when they are positively buoyant, or less dense than the fluid in which they are sitting. This does not mean that an object has to be lighter than the fluid, as in the case of a boat; objects just need to have a greater ratio of empty space to mass than the fluid.

Suppose that the resistance between the walls of a biological cell is 6.8 × 109 ω. (a) what is the current when the potential di

GenaCL600 [577]

(a) We can find the current flowing between the walls by using Ohm's law:
$I= \frac{\Delta V}{R}$
where $\Delta V=69 mV=0.069 V$ is the potential difference and $R=6.8\cdot 10^9 \Omega$ is the resistance. Substituting these values, we get
$I=1.01 \cdot 10^{-11} A$

(b) The total charge flowing between the walls is the product between the current and the time interval:
$Q=I \Delta t$
The problem says $\Delta t=0.86 s$ , so the total charge is
$Q=(1.01\cdot 10^{-11} A)(0.86 s)=8.73 \cdot 10^{-12} C$

The current consists of Na+ ions, each of them having a charge of $e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ . To find the number of ions flowing, we can simply divide the total charge by the charge of a single ion:
$N= \frac{Q}{e} = \frac{8.73 \cdot 10^{-12}C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C} = 5.45 \cdot 10^7 ions$

The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in

Sonja [21]

Answer:

10.16 degrees

Explanation:

Apply Snells Law for both wavelenghts

\(n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}\)

For red

(1.620)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin r)

For red, the angle is 35.45degrees

For violet

(1.660)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin v)

For violet, the angle is 45.6 degrees

The difference is 45.6- 35.45 = 10.16 degrees

A 350-g mass is attached to a spring whose spring constant is 64 N/m. Its maximum acceleration is 5.3 m/s2. What is the frequenc

max2010maxim [7]

The frequency of oscillation is 2.153 Hz

What is the frequency of spring?

Spring Frequency is the natural frequency of spring with a weight at the lower end. Spring is fixed from the upper end and the lower end is free.

For the mass-spring system in this problem,

The Frequency of spring is calculated with the equation:

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

Where,

f = frequency of spring

k = spring constant = 64 N/m

m = mass attached to spring = 350g = 0.350 kg

a = maximum acceleration = 5.3 m/s^2

Substituting the values in the equation,

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{64}{0.350} }$

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi } ( 13.522)$

$f = 2.1535 Hz$

Hence,

The frequency of oscillation is 2.153 Hz
