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,

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

You are given a sample of metal and asked to determine its specific heat. You weight the sample and find that its weight is 28.4

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 28.4 N

Suppose, heat energy $E=1.25\times10^{4}\ J$

Temperature = 18°C

We need to calculate the samples specific heat

Using formula of specific heat

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}$

Where, m = mass

c = specific heat

$\Delta T$ = temperature

Q = heat

Put the value into the formula

$c=\dfrac{1.25\times10^{4}}{\dfrac{28.4}{9.8}\times(18+273)}$

$c=14.8\ J/kg. K$

Hence, The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

Formula:

$D(PC) =\frac{1}{parallax}\\\\D(av)=D(PC) \times 20.626\ J$

Calculating point A:

when the value is $0.38$

$\to 0.38 \toD(PC)= \frac{1}{0.38}\\\\$

$=2.632$

$\to D(a.v) = \frac{1}{0.38} \times 206265\\$

$=542,802.6$

Calculating point B:

when the value is $0.75$

$\to D(PC)=\frac{1}{0.75}$

$=1.33$

$\to D(a.v) = \frac{1}{0.75} \times 206265\\$

$=275,020$

Calculating point C:

when the value is $0.28$

$\to D(PC)=\frac{1}{0.28}$

$=3.571$

$\to D(a.v) = \frac{1}{0.28} \times 206265\\$

$=736660.7$

Calculating point D:

when the value is $0.42$

$\to D(PC)=\frac{1}{0.42}$

$=2.38$

$\to D(a.v) = \frac{1}{0.42} \times 206265\\$

$=490910.7$

Calculating point E:

when the value is $0.31$

$\to D(PC)=\frac{1}{0.31}$

$=3.226$

$\to D(a.v) = \frac{1}{0.31} \times 206265\\$

$=665370.97$

Elastic and inelastic collisions

Virty [35]

Explanation:

A perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in the collision.
