m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved = 8 m

W = Work done in lifting the object

Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence

Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator

W = m g h

inserting the values

W = (136) (9.8) (8)

W = 10662.4 J

A solid object has a mass of 104 kg and a volume of 1,278 m3. What is its density? 0.081 kg/m3 12.29 g/cm3 132912.00 g/cm3 canno

REY [17]

The density is 81.4 g/m3. Before you start plugging numbers into the density formula (D=M/V), you should convert 104 kg to grams, which ends up being 104,000 grams. Then you can plug in the 104,000 grams and 1,278 m3 into the formula. When you divide the mass by the volume, you get a really long decimal, which you can round to 81.4 g/m3, or whatever place your teacher wants you to round to.

According to the ideal gas law, a 1.074 mol sample of oxygen gas in a 1.746 L container at 267.6 K should exert a pressure of 13

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

% differ 1.72%

Explanation:

given data:

P_ideal = 13.51 atm

n = 1.074 mol

V = 1.746 L

T = 267.6 K

According to ideal gas law we have

$(P+ \frac{n^2 *a}{v^2}) (V - nb) = nRT$

$(P+ (\frac{1.074^2 *1.360}{1.746^2})) (1.746 - 1.074*3.183*10^{-2}) = 1.074*0.0821*267.6$

(P+0.514)(1.711) = 23.59

P_v = 13.276 atm

% differ $= \frac{ P_I - P_v}{P_I} *100$

$= \frac{13.51 - 13.27}{13.51} *100$

= 1.72%

An infinite sheet of charge, oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, passes through x = 0. It has a surface charge density σ1 = -2

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

$E_{total}=4.82*10^6N/C$

vector with direction equal to the axis X.

Explanation:

We use the Gauss Law and the superposition law in order to solve this problem.

<u>Superposition Law:</u> the Total Electric field is the sum of the electric field of the first infinite sheet and the Electric field of the second infinite sheet:

$E_{total}=E_1+E_2$

<u>Thanks Gauss Law</u> we know that the electric field of a infinite sheet with density of charge σ is:

$E=\sigma/(2\epsilon_o)$

Then:

$E_{total}=(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)/(2\epsilon_o)=(-2.7*10^{-6}+88*10^{-6})/(2*8.85*10^{-12})=4.82*10^6N/C$

This electric field has a direction in the axis perpendicular to the sheets, that means it has the same direction as the axis X.
