At 45° latitude, the gravitational acceleration as a function of elevation z above sea level is given by g = a − bz , where a =

9.807 m/s2 and b = 3.32 × 10−6 s−2 . Determine the height above sea level where the weight of an object will decrease by 0.3 percent. Answer: 8862 m

Answer:

8861.75 m approximately 8862 m

Explanation:

We need to remember Newton's 2nd Law which says that the force experienced by an object is proportional to his acceleration and that the constant of proportionality between those two vectors correspond to the mass of the object.

F=ma for the weight of an object (which is a force) we have that the acceleration experienced by that object is equal to the gravitational acceleration, obtaining that  W = mg

For simplicity we work with g =9.807 \frac{m}{s^{2}} despiting the effect of the height above sea level. In this problem, we've been asked by the height above sea level that makes the weight of an object 0.30% more lighter.

In accord with the formula g = a-bz the "normal" or "standard" weight of an object is given by W = mg = ma when z = 0, so we need to find the value of z that makes W = m(a-bz) = 0.997ma meaning that the original weight decrease by a 0.30%, so now we operate...

m(a-bz) = 0.997ma now we group like terms on the same sides ma(1-0.997) = mbz we cancel equal tems on both sides and obtain that z = \frac{a}{b} (0.003) = \frac{9.807 \frac{m}{s^{2} } }{3.32*10^{-6} s^{-2} } (0.003) = 8861.75 m

The density of a certain type of steel is 8.1 g/cm3. What is the mass of a 100 cm3 chunk of this steel
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

  810 g

Explanation:

Mass is the product of density and volume:

  m = ρV

  m = (8.1 g/cm³)(100 cm³) = 810 g

The mass of the chunk is 810 grams.

State five applications of thermochromic materials
rusak2 [61]

Explanation:

The end-use industries of thermochromic materials include packaging, printing & coating, medical, textile, industrial, and others. Printing & coating is the fastest-growing end-use industry of thermochromic materials owing to a significant increase in the demand for thermal paper for POS systems. The use of thermochromic materials is gaining momentum for interactive packaging that encourages consumers to take a product off the shelf and use it.
