A 0.50-g sample of vegetable oil is placed in a calorimeter. when the sample is burned, 18.9 kj is given off. what is the energy

value (kcal/g) for the oil?

First of all, we need to convert the energy produced from kilojoules to calories. 1 kJ corresponds to 239.1 cal, therefore:

E=18.9 kJ \cdot 239.1 =4519.4 cal

And so now we can calculate the energy value of the oil:

E_v = \frac{E}{m}=\frac{4519.4 cal}{0.50 g}=9038.8 cal/g

Sally is pushing a shopping cart with a force of 20 N. Because the wheels are stuck, the friction caused by the ground is exerti
juin [17]

The net force on the shopping cart is 12 N to the right.

This is a question related to Newton's Laws. It can be solved by using a Free body diagram, which shows all the forces acting on the object. There are 4 forces acting on the object:

  1. Gravity (g) pointing down.
  2. Normal (N) pointing up.
  3. Push force by Sally (Fp) pointing right.
  4. Friction force (Ff) pointing left.

Forces (1) and (2) cancel each other because they have the same magnitude, and the overall force is given by the addition of forces (3) and (4)

F=Fp+Ff=20N+ (-8N)=12N

The positive value indicates that the shopping cart is moving to the right.

Have a nice day!

Which two criteria are least important for engineers to consider when developing a process to produce an important chemical?
Ket [755]

Answer:

two least important criteria are A and B.

Explanation:

In an industrial production process there are criteria on the location of the production plants. Among the most important criteria we have that a good quantity is produced from the producer and that the process is cost-beneficial - cats to increase the profit of the company.

There are other desirable but minor criteria

A) The size of the city is of minor importance

b) Finding raw material locally is interesting, but its importance is less, the raw material can be sent from other locations.

Consequently the two least important criteria are A and B.

Compare the density of a 1,000,000 kg iceberg to that of a 10 g ice cube taken from the
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The density of the 1,000,000 kg iceberg = The density of the 10 g iceberg

Explanation:

The given quantities of iceberg that will be the basis of the comparison of the densities of the iceberg;

The mass of the iceberg = 1,000,000 kg

The mass of the ice cube taken from the iceberg = 10 g

The density of a substance, is the measure of the mass of the substance per volume of the substance, it is a constant for the substance

Density = \dfrac{Mass}{Volume}

For the iceberg, the density of the iceberg is the property that indicates the volume occupied by a given mass of the iceberg

Because of density, we can estimate that the volume occupied by a 1,000 kg iceberg is 10 times the volume occupied by a 100 kg iceberg

We can write

The density of the 100 kg iceberg = 100 kg/(x m³)

The density of the 1,000 kg iceberg = 1,000 kg/(10 × x m³) = 100 kg/(x m³)

Therefore, the density of the 100 kg iceberg = The density of the 1,000 kg iceberg

Similarly,

The density of the 1,000,000 kg iceberg = The density of the 10 g iceberg because the 10 g iceberg was obtained from the 1,000,000 kg iceberg, and therefore, they have the same density.
