Find the value of 15.0 n in pounds. use the conversions 1slug=14.59kg and 1ft=0.3048m.

1 answer:

5 0

15 N = 15 kg m / s² =
= 15 · 1/14.59 slug · 1 / 0.3048 =
= 15 · 0.06854 · 3.24254 =
= 3.33 lb
Answer: 15 N is equal to 3.33 pounds.

When Simon grows (let’s say he doubles his mass) what happens to his GPE when he is at the balcony?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

His gravitational potential energy will increase as well.

Explanation:

Let gpe represent gravitational potential energy.

gpe = mass × gravitational field strength × height

From the formula above, we can conclude that as the mass of a body increases, it's gpe increases too.

A penny has a mass of 2.50 g, a diameter of 19.55 mm, and a thickness of 1.55 mm. Calculate the density of the material from whi

Dmitry [639]

Density = (mass) divided by (volume)

We know the mass (2.5 g). We need to find the volume.

The penny is a very short cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder is (π · radius² · height).
The penny's radius is 1/2 of its diameter = 9.775 mm.
The 'height' of the cylinder is the penny's thickness = 1.55 mm.

Volume = (π) (9.775 mm)² (1.55 mm)

   = (π) (95.55 mm²) (1.55 mm)

   = (π) (148.1 mm³)

   = 465.3 mm³

We know the volume now. So we could state the density of the penny,
but nobody will understand what we have. Here it is:

   mass/volume = 2.5 g / 465.3 mm³ = 0.0054 g/mm³ .

Nobody every talks about density in units of ' gram/(millimeter)³ ' .
It's always ' gram / (centimeter)³ '.
So we have to convert our number for the volume.

   (0.0054 g/mm³) x (10 mm / cm)³

   = (0.0054 x 1,000) g/cm³

   = 5.37 g/cm³ .

This isn't actually very close to what the US mint says for the density
of a penny, but it's in a much better ball park than 0.0054 was.

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency? Hz(b) What is its wavelength in glas

vekshin1

<h2>Answers:</h2>

The speed of a wave is given by:

$v=f.\lambda$ (1)

Where $f$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ the wavelength.

In the case of light, its speed is:

$c=f.\lambda$ (2)

On the other hand, the described situation is known as Refraction, a phenomenon in which the light changes its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.

In this context, the Refractive index $n$ is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum ( $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ ) and the speed of light $v$ in the second medium:
