Answer:

0.03719 lbs/in³

Explanation:

Specific weight is given by multiplying the density of an object to the acceleration due to gravity.

$\gamma =\rho g\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{gamma}{g}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{10.1\times 10^3}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1029.562\ kg/m^3$

$1\ kg=2.20462\ lb$

$1\ m=39.3701\ in$

$\\\Rightarrow 1029.562\ kg/m^3=\frac{1029.562\times 2.20462}{39.3701^3}=0.03719\ lbs/in^3$

So,

$10.1\ kN/m^3=0.03719\ lbs/in^3$

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The galaxy is moving away from the observer

Explanation: when a galaxy is moving away from us, the light we percieve from it is "streched". Since the wavelength has an inverse raltionship whith frequency, the longer the wavelength is, the lower the frequency. And lower frequencies correspond to red and infrarred light.

So when we see the light has shifted to the infrarred part of the spectrum, it means the source is traveling away from us, making the light waves we percieve streched and move from visible light to infrarred.

Suppose that the resistance between the walls of a biological cell is 6.8 × 109 ω. (a) what is the current when the potential di

GenaCL600 [577]

(a) We can find the current flowing between the walls by using Ohm's law:
$I= \frac{\Delta V}{R}$
where $\Delta V=69 mV=0.069 V$ is the potential difference and $R=6.8\cdot 10^9 \Omega$ is the resistance. Substituting these values, we get
$I=1.01 \cdot 10^{-11} A$

(b) The total charge flowing between the walls is the product between the current and the time interval:
$Q=I \Delta t$
The problem says $\Delta t=0.86 s$ , so the total charge is
$Q=(1.01\cdot 10^{-11} A)(0.86 s)=8.73 \cdot 10^{-12} C$

The current consists of Na+ ions, each of them having a charge of $e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ . To find the number of ions flowing, we can simply divide the total charge by the charge of a single ion:
$N= \frac{Q}{e} = \frac{8.73 \cdot 10^{-12}C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C} = 5.45 \cdot 10^7 ions$

A woman exerts a horizontal force of 4 pounds on a box as she pushes it up a ramp that is 10 feet long and inclined at an angle

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Explanation:

given,

Horizontal force = 4 lb

distance of push, d = 10 ft

angle of ramp, θ = 30°

Work done on the box = ?

We know,

W = F.d cos θ

W = 4 x 10 x cos 30°

W = 40 x 0.8660

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Hence, work done on the box is equal to W = 34.64 ft-lbs

What happens to the rock structure during each of type of change?

EastWind [94]

Previous rocks melt and collide and to form igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks disintegrate due to weather disruptions and get carried away by water, where they form sedimentary rock strata by lithification.
Igneous and sedimentary change by heat and pressure to form metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks melt and become igneous rocks.

taurus [48]

Answer:

31,360J

Explanation:

Gravitation potential energy (gpe) is calculated from the formula mgh.

That implies, gpe = mgh

Therefore substituting the values of m and h as given in the question, knowing in mine that the acceleration due to gravity( g) is 9.8 N/kg, will give 31,360J

Never forget to put your SI units, because even if your answer is numerical correct, it will be incorrect because it represents no physical quantity.
