How many calories are equal to one BTU? (One calorie = 4.186 J, one BTU = 1 054 J.)

Physics

natima [27]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 calorie is equals to 4.186 J

and 1 BTU equals to 1054 J

using unitary method

1\ calorie \equiv 4.186 J

1\ calorie \equiv 4.186 \times 1 J

and 1\ J \equiv \frac{1}{1054} BTU

thus   1\ calorie \equiv 4.186 \times \frac{1}{1054} BTU

1\ calorie\ \equiv 0.00397 BTU

1\ calorie\ \equiv 397\time 10^{-5} BTU  

or BTU=251.88\approx 252 cal

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

According to the question

1 BTU = 1054 J

4.186 J = 1 cal

So, 1 J = 1/4.186 cal

So, 1054 J = 1054 / 4.186 cal

                 = 251.8 cal

By rounding off, it is 252 cal

So, 1 BTU = 252 cal

A karate master wants to break a board by hitting the board swiftly with his hand. The master's hand has a mass of 0.30 kg, and
slava [35]

Answer:

f=-1380N

Explanation:

A karate master wants to break a board by hitting the board swiftly with his hand. The master's hand has a mass of 0.30 kg, and as it strikes the board, his hand has a velocity of 23.3 m/s. The master contacts the board for 0.0050 seconds

.the concluding part to the question should be

What is the impact force (impulse) on the board?

solution

from the Newton's second law of motion which states that

the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the force applied

f=m(v-u)/t

f=0.3(0-23.3)/0.005

f=-1380N

f=force impact

m=mass of the karates master's hand

t=time for the impact

v=0m/s final velocity

u=initial velocity

What happens when a penny is dropped from a height of 20 meters? A.it falls at a constant velocity B.its mass doubles for every
Travka [436]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a penny is dropped from a height of 20 meters then it will achieve an acceleration.

As acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object with respect to time. Therefore, the velocity does not remain constant.

Whereas mass of the penny will remain the same as it will not get affected when it falls. Also, there will be no change in direction of the penny as it is falling only in one direction.

The acceleration of penny is due to the force of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that the force of gravity causes it to accelerate.

Which statement identifies a true relationship between the various wave components?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

it's the second one;

if the frequency increases, wavelength decreases

Explanation:

we know, v=f×lamda(wave length)

so for constant velocity Frequency f is inversely proportional to lamda

i.e.

fα 1/lamda

so as the f increases lamda decreases and vise versa

An elevator is accelerating upward at a rate of 3.6 m/s2. a block of mass 24 kg hangs by a low-mass rope from the ceiling, and a
kozerog [31]
The answer:

<span>When the elevator accelerates upward at a rate of 3.6 m/s², the value of the acceleration becomes

</span>A=g+3.6=13.4 m/s²
and by using the newton's law, F=mass x A, we have 
T1= (24 + 90 )x 13.4= 1527.6 N, where T1 is the <span>Tension in upper rope
</span> and 
T2= ( 90 )x 13.4= 1206N, where T2 is the Tension in lower rope

When the elevator accelerates downward at a rate of 3.6 m/s², the value of the acceleration becomes
A=9.8 - 3.6 = 6.2 m/s²

T1= (24 + 90 )x 6.2= 706.8 N, where T1 is the Tension in upper rope
 and 
T2= ( 90 )x 6.2= 558N, where T2 is the Tension in lower rope
