Answer:

A ratio of equivalent units

Explanation:

A conversion factor is a ratio of equivalent units and depends on which units are to be converted.

For example we want to convert 275 [mm] to inches, so we have to find the right conversion factor to allow us to work that conversion.

275 [mm] = inches = ?

$275 [mm] * \frac{1in}{25.4mm} = 10.82 [in]$

In this case the ratio is 1/25.4 = 0.039 [in/mm]

Most cars have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. A radiator is made of coppe

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

0.699 L of the fluid will overflow

Explanation:

We know that the change in volume ΔV = V₀β(T₂ - T₁) where V₀ = volume of radiator = 21.1 L, β = coefficient of volume expansion of fluid = 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C

and T₁ = initial temperature of radiator = 12.2°C and T₂ = final temperature of radiator = 95.0°C

Substituting these values into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₀β(T₂ - T₁)

= 21.1 L × 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C × (95.0°C - 12.2°C)

= 21.1 L × 400 × 10⁻⁶/°C × 82.8°C = 698832 × 10⁻⁶ L

= 0.698832 L

≅ 0.699 L = 0.7 L to the nearest tenth litre

So, 0.699 L of the fluid will overflow

What is the wavelength of a 6.00*10^2 Hz sound wave in air at 20C

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Solution

λ=v/n

Here, v=344 m s−1

n=22 MHz =22×106 Hz

λ=344/22×106=15.64×10−6m=15.64μm.

A weather balloon is filled to a volume of 6000 L while it is on the ground, at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 273 K.

avanturin [10]

Answer : The final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L

Solution :

Using combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 1 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 0.3 atm

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 6000 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = 273 K

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = 240 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final pressure of gas.

$\frac{1atm\times 6000L}{273K}=\frac{0.3atm\times V_2}{240K}$

$V_2=17582.4L$

Therefore, the final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L
