Answer:

ρ=962.16kg/m^3

Explanation:

The first thing we must do to solve is to find the mass of the specimen using the weight equation

w = mg

m=w/g

m=0.45/9.81=0.04587kg

To find the volume we must make a free-body diagram on the specimen, taking into account that the weight will go down and the buoyant force up, and the result of that subtraction will be the measured weight value (0.081N).

We must bear in mind that the principle of archimedes indicates that the buoyant force is given by

F = ρgV

where V is the specimen volume and  ρ is the density of alcohol = 789kg / m ^ 3

considering the above we have the following equation

0.081=0.45-(789)(9.81m/s^2)V

solving for V

V=(0.081-0.45)/(-789x9.81)

V=4.7673x10^-5m^3

finally we found the density

ρ=m/v

ρ=0.04587kg/4.7673x10^-5m^3

ρ=962.16kg/m^3

Answer:

a)Q_H=16.4kW

b) w=5.467

c)  w=1.2345

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Interior temperature TH = 20 °C

outside temperature is TC = 2 °C

Rate H=16.4kW

a)

Generally electric resistance heating is the heat transfer from interior building

Therefore

Q_H=R

Q_H=16.4kW

b)

COP =3

Generally the equation for coefficient of performance is mathematically given by

COP=\frac{Q_H}{w}

Therefore

w=\frac{Q_H}{COP}

w=16.4/3

w=5.467

c)

Generally the equation for coefficient of performance is mathematically given by

COP_r=\frac{TH}{TH-TC}

COP_r=\frac{20+273}{(20+273)-(2+273)}

COP_r=16.2

Therefore

w=1.2345

w=20/16.2

w=1.2345

5) A 80-kg man has a total foot imprint area of 480 cm2. Determine the pressure this man exerts on the ground if (a) he stands o
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The pressure exerted by this man on ground

(a) if he stands on both feet is 8.17 KPa

(b) if he stands on one foot is 16.33 KPa

Explanation:

(a)

When the man stand on both feet, the weight of his body is uniformly distributed around the foot imprint of both feet. Thus, total area in this case will be:

Area = A = 2 x 480 cm²

A = 960 cm²

A = 0.096 m²

The force exerted by man on his area will be equal to his weight.

Force = F = Weight

F = mg

F = (80 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 784 N

Now, the pressure exerted by man on ground will be:

Pressure = P = F/A

P = 784 N/0.096 m²

<u>P = 8166.67 Pa = 8.17 KPa</u>

(b)

When the man stand on one foot, the weight of his body is uniformly distributed around the foot imprint of that foot only. Thus, total area in this case will be:

Area = A = 480 cm²

A = 0.048 m²

The force exerted by man on his area will be equal to his weight, in this case, as well.

Force = F = Weight

F = mg

F = (80 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 784 N

Now, the pressure exerted by man on ground will be:

Pressure = P = F/A

P = 784 N/0.048 m²

<u>P = 16333.33 Pa = 16.33 KPa</u>

Answer:

1. Can you tell me something about yourself?

2. What are you weaknesses?

3. If you would describe yourself in one word?

Explanation: Those questions above 1, 2, and 3 are not harmful to ask your client. Bit the last two 4 and 5 are very harmful, because you don't need to be all up in they business and you don't want to put a lot of pressure on your client.

Prefix version of 6600 volts​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

6.6 kilo volts = 6.6 k volts

Explanation:

A prefix is a word, number or a letter that is added before another word. In physics we have different prefixes for the exponential powers of 10, that are placed before units in place of those powers. Some examples are:

deci (d)   ------  10⁻¹

centi (c)   ------  10⁻²

milli (m)   ------   10⁻³

kilo (k)     ------   10³

mega (M) -----   10⁶

giga (G)   ------   10⁹

We have:

6600 volts

converting to exponential form:

=> 6.6 x 10³ volts

Thus, we know that the prefix of kilo (k) is used for 10³.

Hence,

=> <u>6.6 kilo volts = 6.6 k volts</u>
