Answer: 0.43kg

Explanation: a = 20.8m/s^2

F = 8.9N

m = ?

F = ma

8.9 = 20.8m

m = 8.9/20.8

= 0.43kg

For a process at constant pressure, 12,400 calories of heat are released. this quantity of heat is equivalent to

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

51,882 J

Explanation:

In order to convert the heat from calories to joule, we must remember the conversion factor:

1 cal = 4.184 J

Keeping in mind this, we can set up a proportion to find how much Joules correspond to 12,400 calories:

$1 cal : 4.184 J = 12,400 cal : x\\x=\frac{(4.184 J)(12400 cal)}{1 cal}=51,882 J$

At a pressure of one atmosphere methane boils at −161°C and freezes at −182.5°C. Consider a temperature scale where the boiling

lawyer [7]

Answer:

$-421.627906977\^{\circ}M$

Explanation:

Absolute zero in the Kelvin scale = -273.15 °C

Temperature difference in the boiling and freezing point

$-161-(-182.5)=21.5\ ^{\circ}C$

Change in 21.5°C = Change of 100°C in M

$1^{\circ}C=\dfrac{100}{21.5}=4.6511627907\ ^{\circ}M$

Difference in the Celsius scale

$-182.5-(-273.15)=90.65\ ^{\circ}C$

Change in $90.65\ ^{\circ}C$ corresponds to

$4.6511627907\times 90.65=421.627906977\ ^{\circ}M$

Therefore the absolute zero in the Methane scale is

$-421.627906977\ ^{\circ}M$

A space station, in the form of a wheel 140 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 3.90 m/s2 for persons w

Zigmanuir [339]

Radial acceleration is given by

$a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where

$v=r \omega$
then

$a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2$

Now

$70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2} \\ \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }$

Using the relation

$\omega=2 \pi f$

$2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\ \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz$

Putting into rpm

$\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm$

what is the magnitude of the compression forces (assumed to be horizontal) acting on both sides of the center board that is sand

Len [333]

F = normal force by each board on each side

W = weight of the board in between acting in down direction = 95.5 N

f = frictional force in upward direction by each board

$\mu$ = coefficient of friction = 0.663

Using equilibrium of force in Upward direction

f + f = W

f = W/2

f = 95.5/2 = 47.75 N

frictional force is given as

f = $\mu$ F

47.75 = (0.663) F

F = 72.02 N
