Answer:

1291.08 N

Explanation:

acceleration=change in speed per unit time

a=\frac {v-u}{t} where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively.

u is zero and v=160 km/h converted to m/s becomes160\times \frac {1000m}{3600s}\approx 44.44 m/s

acceleration=\frac {44.44-0}{8}\approx 5.56 m/s^{2}

Apparent weight, F_N=m(g+a)

Taking g as 9.81 and m as 84 Kg then

F_N=84(9.81+5.56)\approx 1291.08 N

Answer:

K=24.17 x 10⁻² J s⁻¹c⁻¹m⁻¹

Explanation:

Rate of flow of heat through a material is given by the following expression

\frac{Q}{t} =\frac{KA\delta T}{d}

where Q is amount of heat flowing in time t through area A and  a medium of thickness d having two faces at temperature difference δT . K is thermal conductivity of the medium .

Here Q = 3.34 x 10⁶/6 , t = 24 x 60 x 60 = 86400 s , A = .332 X .332 = .0110224 m² ,  δT = 104.7

Put these values here

\frac{3.34\times10^6}{6\times86400}= \frac{k\times.011224\times104.7}{4.41\times10^{-2}}

K=\frac{3.34\times4.41\times10^4}{6\times86400\times.011224\times104.7}

K=24.17 x 10⁻² J s⁻¹c⁻¹m⁻¹

At high pressures, what two factors will cause deviations during ideal gas law calculations?
Tju [1.3M]

At high pressures, the two factors that cause deviation during ideal gas law calculation are the size of molecular and intermolecular force.

The high pressure causes the molecules to approach each other at a very close distance. In that case, if the intermolecular force of attraction is high, the molecules may undergo a state transition, which will result in a completely different outcome as predicted by Ideal gas law.

If the size of the molecule is more, that is for heavy gases like refrigerants, the ideal gas law deviates due to the fact that, with increase in pressure, the volume of gas can no longer be considered as negligible.

At what speed does a clock move if it is measured to run at a rate two-fifths the rate of a clock at rest with respect to an obs
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

0.44c

Explanation:

We know that

Time interval at speed (ts)= time interval at rest(tr) / gamma

where

gamma = √[1-(v/c)²]

ts = tr / gamma

tr/ts = gamma

But

Ss/Sr = gamma

Where

Sr = clock speed at rest, Ss at speed):

So

√[1-(v/c)²] = 2/5

1 - (v/c)² = 4/25

(v/c)²= 5/25

v/c = √5 / 5

v = 0.444c
