Answer:

c Gram

Explanation:

Mass is an intrinsec property of every object; it is somehow a measure of the "amount of matter" contained in the object.

The SI units of the mass is the kilogram (kg), where one of the sub-multiple of the kilogram is the gram (g). For measuring small objects, therefore, the gram is the appropriate unit.

The other units are wrong because:

- The meter is the unit of measure of the length

- The liter is a unit of measure for the volume

- Newton is the unit of measure for the force

A bicycle tire has a pressure of 7.00×105 N/m2 at a temperature of 18.0ºC and contains 2.00 L of gas. What will its pressure be

stepan [7]

Answer:

$p_2 = 664081 N/m^{2}$

Explanation:

from the ideal gas law we have

PV = mRT

$P = \rho RT$

$\rho = \frac{P}{RT}$

HERE R is gas constant for dry air = 287 J K^{-1} kg^{-1}

$\rho = \frac{7.00 10^{5}}{287(18+273)}$

$\rho = 8.38 kg/m^{3}$

We know by ideal gas law

$\rho = \frac{m_1}{V_1}$

$m_1 = \rho V_1 = 8.38 *2*10^{-3}$

$m_1 = 0.0167 kg$

for m_2

$m_2 = \rho V_i - V_removed$

$m_2 = 8.38*(.002 - 10^{-4})$

$m_2 = 0.0159 kg$

WE KNOW

PV = mRT

V, R and T are constant therefore we have

P is directly proportional to mass

$\frac{p_2}{p_1}=\frac{m_2}{m_1}$

$p_2 = p_1 * \frac{m_2}{m_1}$

$p_2 =7*10^{5} * \frac {.0159}{0.0167}$

$p_2 = 664081 N/m^{2}$

An 75-kg hiker climbs to the summit of Mount Mitchell in western North Carolina. During one 2.0-h period, the climber's vertical

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is $\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the hiker is $m = 75 \ kg$

The time taken is $T = 2 \ hr = 2 * 3600 = 7200 \ s$

The vertical elevation after time T is $H = 540 \ m$

The change in gravitational potential is mathematically represented as

$\Delta PE = mgH$

here g is the acceleration due to gravity with value $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$

substituting values

$\Delta PE = 75 * 9.8 * 540$

$\Delta PE = 396900 \ J$

The output voltage of a power supply is normally distributed with mean 5 V and standard deviation 0.02 V. If the lower and upper

-BARSIC- [3]

To solve this problem we will apply the normal distribution, with which we will obtain the probability that the given event will occur. Concepts such as the mean and standard deviation will be present throughout the solution of the problem. Increasing or decreasing the average would change the location or center point of the curve. The change in the standard deviation would lead to the change in the dispersion of the data. As the standard deviation increases, the curve would become flatter.

Let X be the output voltage of power supply

X∼N $(5,0.02^2)$

A

The lower and upper specifications for voltage are 4.95 V and 5.05 V, respectively

$P(4.95$

$P(4.95$

$P(4.95$

$P(4.95$

$P(4.95$

Hence probability that a power supply selected at random will conform to the specifications on voltage is 0.9876
