A poundal is the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 lbm at a rate of 1 ft/s2 , and a slug is the mass of an object that wi

ll accelerate at a rate of 1 ft/s2 when subjected to a force of 1 lbf. (a) Calculate the mass in slugs and the weight in poundals of a 135 lbm woman (i) on earth and (ii) on the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is one-sixth of its value on earth. (b) A force of 405 poundals is exerted on a 35.0-slug object. At what rate (m/s2 ) does the object accelerate?

Answer:

We are given that

The

Mass of person = 135lbm

Weight of person on earth will be

= mass x gravity constant

= 135lbm x 32.174 ft/s2

=4343.49 lbm-ft/s2 x 1 poundal-s2/lbm-ft

= 4343.49 poundal

Again we are given that

Mass of person = 135 lbm

But here remember Mass remains the same

So

Weight of person on moon will be

mass x gravity constant on moon

= 135 lbm x 32.174 ft/s2 x 1/6

= 723.9 lbm-ft/s2 x 1 poundal-s2/lbm-ft

= 723.9poundal

But we know that

1 ft slug / lbf-s2 = 32.174 ft lbm/ lbf-s2

So

1 slug = 32.174 lbm

So then the Mass of person

= 135lbm x 1slug/32.174 lbm

=4.2slugs

So finally

Weight = 405 poundals is same as

405 lbm-ft/s2

So

Mass = 35 slug x 32.174 lbm/slug = 1126.09 lbm

Acceleration rate = weight /mass

= (405 lbm-ft/s2) / (1126.09 lbm)

= 0.3597ft/s2 x 0.305m/ft

= 1.179 m/s²

I a liter jar contains 0.5 moles of gas at a pressure of 2 ATM what is the temperature of the gas
sweet [91]

Answer:

<h2>The temperature of the gas is 48.75 Kelvin.</h2>

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation as shown

PV = nRT where;

P is the pressure of the gas in ATM

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the temperature in Kelvin

From the formula, T = \frac{PV}{nR}

Given the following parameters V = 1litre, n = 0.5moles. pressure = 2ATM

R = 0.08206 atm L/molK

On substituting to get the temperature we have:

T = \frac{2*1}{0.08206*0.5} \\T = \frac{2}{0.04103}\\T = 48.75Kelvin

In the box provided explain why living organisms contain more hydrogen atoms than any other atoms
leva [86]

Answer:it is due to present of water amount in our body. Our body consists 70%of water and 1/3of oxygen and 2/3 of hydrogen.

Explanation: human body consist of 1/3 of oxygen and 2/3 of hydrogen because oxygen contain 16 times more mass than hydrogen atom, hydrogen has only 1 proton so its atomic no. is 1  whereas oxygen has 8 proton and 8 neutrons so its atomic no.is 8 and mass is 16 so overall it takes 16 hydrogen atoms to equal to the mass of 1 oxygen atom.
