When non-metric units were used in the United Kingdom, a unit of mass called the pound-mass (lbm) was employed, where 1lbm=0.453

9kg. (a) If there is an uncertainty of 0.0001kg in the pound-mass unit, what is its percent uncertainty? (b) Based on that percent uncertainty, what mass in pound-mass has an uncertainty of 1 kg when converted to kilograms?

Answer:

a) 0.022%

b) 10014.32 lb

Explanation:

a) Percentage uncertainty would be

0.0001\times \frac{100}{0.4539}=0.022%

Percent uncertainty is 0.022%

b) For 1 kg uncertainty mass in kg would be

\frac{1}{0.022}\times {100}=4545.5\ kg

Mass in pounds would be

\frac{4545.5}{0.4539}=10014.32\ lb

Mass in pound-mass is 10014.32 lb

Calculate the change in entropy as 0.3071 kg of ice at 273.15 K melts. (The latent heat of fusion of water is 333000 J / kg)
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

374.39 J/K

Explanation:

Entropy: This can be defined as the degree of disorder or randomness of a substance.

The S.I unit of entropy is J/K

ΔS = ΔH/T ..................................... Equation 1

Where ΔS = entropy change, ΔH = Heat change, T = temperature.

ΔH = cm................................... Equation 2

Where,

c = specific latent heat of fusion of water = 333000 J/kg, m = mass of ice = 0.3071 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

ΔH = 333000×0.3071

ΔH = 102264.3 J.

Also, T = 273.15 K

Substitute into equation 1

ΔS = 102264.3/273.15

ΔS = 374.39 J/K

Thus, The change in entropy = 374.39 J/K

Definition for compression and rarefraction
s344n2d4d5 [400]
Compression and rarefaction are two phenomenon occurs in longitudunal wave!

when there is denser particle gathering in that wave , there we called it compression and the rarer part of particles is rarefaction !

1. A soccer ball is kicked horizontally off a cliff with an initial speed of 8 m/s and lands 16 m from the base of
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 m/s

Distance s = 16 m

Starting acceleration (a) = 0

Computation:

s = ut + 1/2a(t)²

16 = 8t

t = 2 sec

Height of cliff = S

Gravitational acceleration = 10 m/s

S = 1/2a(t)²

S = 1/2(10)(2)²

Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)

Ali mixes 20g of Sodium Chloride in 100g of water at 15 Degree °C. Calculate the mass of the solution
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The mass of the solution is 120 g.

Explanation:

The mass of the solution is given by:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2}

Where:

m_{sol}: is the mass of the solution

m_{1}: is the mass of the solvent

m_{2}: is the mass of the solute

In the solution, the solvent is the majority compound (in mass) and the solute is the minority (in mass), so the solvent is the water and the solute is sodium chloride.          

Hence, the mass of the solution is:

m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2} = 100 g + 20 g = 120 g  

I hope it helps you!
