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

Answer:

58.3 lbm/min

Explanation:

The density of gasoline is 6.25 lbm/gal. The mass corresponding to 14.0 gallons of gasoline is:

14.0 gal × (6.25 lbm/gal) = 87.5 lbm

87.5 pound-mass of gasoline are delivered by the pump for 1.50 minutes. The mass flow rate is:

87.5 lbm/1.50 min = 58.3 lbm/min

The mass flow rate is 58.3 lbm/min.

A weightlifter lifts a 250-kg mass 0.5 meters above his head, how much PEg does the mass have (Note: g=9.8 m/s2)? Round your ans
morpeh [17]

Answer:

1225 J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

PE=(250 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m)=1225 J

Read the description of the centrioles. What is their function?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Typically found in eukaryotic cells, centrioles are cylindrical (tube-like) structures/organelles composed of microtubules. In the cell, centrioles aid in cell division by facilitating the separation of chromosomes. For this reason, they are located near the nucleus.

A vehicle has an oil leak that is causing the entire oil pan to be wet, but inspection reveals no exact source after cleaning of
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Technician A is correct

Explanation:

The best approach to solve the problem is that of technician A. using a fluorescent die is the easiest and most efficient way to trace leaks with unknown sources. The fluorescent die will simply illuminate the path to the leaking spot in the engine of the car, without any need for much speculations. This makes this method a sure approach.

However, Technician B's approach still has a lot of assumptions factored into the methodology, and would not work properly. It will still require the painstaking attempts trying to make guesses where the oil leak is coming from, which will lead to wastage of time and energy.

This makes Technician A have the right approach to solving the problem

Explain why selling cereal by mass rather then by volume be more fair to customers
Orlov [11]

<em>Answer:</em>

Simple, there could be air in the package and volume would record that, whereas mass would count the mass of the cereal and discount the air.
