Answer:

ρ = 1.13 10⁴ km/m³

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's equilibrium equation

B –W + W_scale = 0

Where B is the thrust and W_scale is the balance reading

The push is given by Archimedes' law

B = ρ_water g V

B = W- W_scale

B = m g - m_scale g

Let's calculate

B = 14.7 9.8 - 13.4 9.8

B = 12.74 N

ρ_water g V = 12.74

V = 12.74 / ρ_water g

V = 12.74 / 1000 9.8

V = 0.0013 m³

Let's use density

ρ = m / V

We replace

ρ = 14.7 / 0.0013

ρ = 1.13 10⁴ km/m³

When a plant is entering the calvin cycle of photosythesis______.

Korolek [52]

The Calvin cycle<span> refers to the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis that take place in three key steps. Although the </span>Calvin Cycle<span> is not directly dependent on light, it is indirectly dependent on light since the necessary energy carriers (ATP and NADPH) are products of light-dependent reactions.

So basically it indirectly needs the light, even it's called light-independant reaction.

So the answer is the last one.</span>

Suppose you give a 10 Newton push to Ryan on skis (he weighs 50 kg), how much will he accelerate?

Talja [164]

Well we can just use F=ma. The force is 10N, the mass is 50 kg, solve for a. Well since we kg and N, no conversion is necessary. So just plugging in the numbers, we get

10N = 50 kg · a

$\frac{10N}{50kg}=a$

A newton is just $\frac{kg·m}{s^{2}}$

$a=\frac{\frac{10kg·m}{s^{2}}}{50kg}$

The s^2 and 50 kg you multiply

$a=\frac{10kg·m}{50kg·s^{2}}$

The kg's cancel and 10/50 is 1/5

$\frac{1}{5}·\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

So the acceleration is 1/5 m/s^2

Suppose you have two solid bars, both with square cross-sections of 1 cm2. They are both 24.6 cm long, but one is made of copper

vodka [1.7K]

Explanation:

Expression to calculate thermal resistance for iron ( $R_{I}$ ) is as follows.

$R_{I} = \frac{L_{I}}{k_{I} \times A_{I}}$

where, $L_{I}$ = length of the iron bar

$k_{I}$ = thermal conductivity of iron

$A_{I}$ = Area of cross-section for the iron bar

Thermal resistance for copper ( $R_{c}$ ) = \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c} \times A_{c}}[/tex]

where, $L_{c}$ = length of copper bar

$k_{c}$ = thermal conductivity of copper

$A_{c}$ = Area of cross-section for the copper bar

Now, expression for the transfer of heat per unit cell is as follows.

Q = $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o}}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Q = $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}$

= $\frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{21 \times 10^{-2} m[\frac{1}{73 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}} + \frac{1}{386 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}}}$

= 2.92 Joule

It is known that heat transfer per unit time is equal to the power conducted through the rod. Hence,

P = $\frac{Q}{T}$

Here, T is 1 second so, power conducted is equal to heat transferred.

So, P = 2.92 watt

Thus, we can conclude that 2.92 watt power will be conducted through the rod when it reaches steady state.

When temperature and pressure are applied to sedimentary and igneous rock?

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Igneous rock

Explanation:

Igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma. It undergoes changes in temperature and pressure that causes it to cool, solidify, and crystallize.
