One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 10-3 m3) covers an area of 17.8 m2. What is the thickness of the fresh paint on the wall?

Physics

AURORKA [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

0.2129 mm

Explanation:

We have given volume of the paint = 1 gallon=3.79\times 10^{-3}m^3

Area that covers the paint =17.8 m^2

We have to find the thickness of the fresh paint

So thickness=\frac{volume}{area}=\frac{3.79\times 10^{-3}}{17.8}=0.2129\times 10^{-3}m=0.2129mm

So the thickness of fresh paint on the wall is 0.2129 mm

If two different theories describe experimental observations equally well, can one be said to be more valid than the other (assu
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

In such situations we cannot determine which one is more valid as both serves the purpose well.

Two theories are carried out in different environment and circumstance keeping different parameters and one can opt for any number of ways to carry out that experiment but what matter at the end is the accuracy they bring.

Each of the theory is a new discovery and follows all the possible logical rules hence it is not possible to decide which one is more valid.

Star A and Star B have measured stellar parallax of 1.0 arc second and 0.75 arc second, respectively. Which star is closer? How
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Star A is closer than Star B

Explanation:

As we know that in parallax method of distance measurement the angle subtended by the star when it covers a distance of one Parsec arc length, it is known as parallax angle

Here we can say

angle = \frac{1 Parsec}{distance}

so we have

distance = \frac{1 Parsec}{angle}

so here we have

angle subtended by Star A = 1 arc sec

angle subtended by star B = 0.75 arc sec

now we have

distance for star A is given as

d_a = \frac{1 Parsec}{1} = 1 Parsec

distance of star B is given as

d_b = \frac{1 Parsec}{0.75} = 1.33 Parsec

So star A is closer than star B

Xavier is roller skating at 14 km/h and tosses a set of keys forward on the ground at 8 km/h. The speed of the keys relative to
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

22 km/h

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of Xavier, v = 14 km/h

He tosses a set of keys forward on the ground at 8 km/h, v' = 8 km/h

We need to find the speed of the keys relative to the ground. Let it is V.

As both Xavier and the keys are moving in same diretion. The relative speed wrt ground is given by :

V = v+v'

V= 14 + 8

V = 22 km/h

So, the speed of the keys relative to the ground is 22 km/h.

17. (a) Will the electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates exceed the breakdown strength for air ( 3.0×106
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance between plates d = 2 x 10⁻³m

Potential diff applied = 5 x 10³ V

Electric field = Potential diff applied /  d

= 5 x 10³  / 2 x 10⁻³

= 2.5 x 10⁶ V/m

This is less than  breakdown strength for air  3.0×10⁶ V/m

b ) Let the plates be at a separation of d .so

5 x 10³ / d = 3.0×10⁶ ( break down voltage )

d = 5 x 10³  / 3.0×10⁶

= 1.67 x 10⁻³ m

= 1.67 mm.

Knowing Newton’s 2nd Law, how would you rearrange it to solve for acceleration.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Force / mass

Explanation:

Divide mass on both sides to get acceleration by itself leaving you with mass below force hence divide force by mass
