On June 9, 1983, the lower part of the Variegated Glacier in Alaska was observed to be moving at a rate of 64 m per day. What is

this speed in kilometers per hour?

(64 meter/day) x (1 kilometer / 1,000 meters) x (1 day / 24 hours) =

       (64 x 1 x 1) / (1,000 x 24)         (kilometer/hour)  = 

                     1/375  km/hour

                (0.002667 km/hour, rounded)

                 2-2/3 meters/hour

                 (8-ft 9-inches) per hour

A force of 10 N acts on an object with a mass of 10 kg. What is its acceleration? A. 1 m/s2 B. 10 m/s2 C. 2 m/s2 D. 5 m/s2
Akimi4 [234]

The acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is \mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force acting on a body will be directly proportional to the mass of the body as well as acceleration exerted by the body. So, the net external force acting on any object will be equal to the product of mass of the object with acceleration exerted by the object. Thus,

                  Force = Mass \times Acceleration

So,

                 Acceleration=\frac{\text {Force}}{\text {Mass}}

As the force acting on the object is stated as 10 N and the mass of the object is given as 10 kg, then the acceleration will be

                  Acceleration =\frac{10 \mathrm{N}}{10 \mathrm{kg}}=1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

So, the acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is \mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}

How can the density of irregularly shaped objects can be calculated?
Aleks04 [339]
1.Use the balance to find the mass of the object. Record the value on the "Density Data Chart."
2.Pour water into a graduated cylinder up to an easily-read value, such as 50 milliliters and record the number.
3.Drop the object into the cylinder and record the new value in millimeters.
4.The difference between the two numbers is the object's volume. Remember that 1 milliliter is equal to 1 cubic centimeter. Record the volume on the data chart.
5.Compute the density of the object by dividing the mass value by the volume value. Record the density on the data chart.

Water flows through a cast steel pipe (k = 50 W m.K, ε = 0.8) with an outer diameter of 104mm and 2 mm wall thickness. Calculate
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The heat loss per unit length is   \frac{Q}{L}   = 2981 W/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The outer diameter of the pipe is d = 104mm = \frac{104}{1000} = 0.104 m

     The thickness is  D = 2mm = \frac{2}{1000} = 0.002m  

      The temperature  of water is  T = 90^oC = 90 + 273 = 363K  

      The outside air temperature is T_a = -10^oC = -10 +273 = 263K

        The water side heat transfer coefficient is z_1 = 300 W/ m^2 \cdot K

       The  heat transfer coefficient is  z_2 = 20 W/m^2 \cdot K

The heat lost per unit length is mathematically represented as

           \frac{Q}{L}   = \frac{2 \pi (T - Ta)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_1}  +  \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_2}}

Substituting values

         \frac{Q}{L}   = \frac{2 * 3.142 (363 - 263)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{300}  +  \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{20}}

           \frac{Q}{L}   = \frac{628}{0.2107}

           \frac{Q}{L}   = 2981 W/m

Please help me! Uniform acceleration problem sheet:
Brrunno [24]

From the calculation, the value of the acceleration is 5.8 m/s^2.

<h3>What is uniform acceleration?</h3>

The term uniform acceleration refers to a situation in which the velocity increases by equal amounts in equal time intervals.

Given the fact that the car started from rest and reached a velocity of  780.34 mph or 348.84 m/s in 1 minute of 60 seconds;

v = u + at

a = v/t

a = 348.84 m/s/ 60 seconds

a = 5.8 m/s^2
