One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 10-3 m3) covers an area of 17.8 m2. What is the thickness of the fresh paint on the wall?

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

0.2129 mm

Explanation:

We have given volume of the paint = 1 gallon $=3.79\times 10^{-3}m^3$

Area that covers the paint $=17.8 m^2$

We have to find the thickness of the fresh paint

So $thickness=\frac{volume}{area}=\frac{3.79\times 10^{-3}}{17.8}=0.2129\times 10^{-3}m=0.2129mm$

So the thickness of fresh paint on the wall is 0.2129 mm

Determine the magnitude of the effective value of g⃗ at a latitude of 60 ∘ on the earth. assume the earth is a rotating sphere.

dezoksy [38]

In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr)
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>

An ac series circuit has an impedance of 60 Ohm and

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Power factor of the AC series circuit is $cos\phi=0.5$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Impedance of the AC series circuit, Z = 60 ohms

Resistance of the AC series circuit, R = 30 ohms

We need to find the power factor of the circuit. It is given by :

$cos\phi=\dfrac{R}{Z}$

$cos\phi=\dfrac{30}{60}$

$cos\phi=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$cos\phi=0.5$

So, the power factor of the ac series circuit is $cos\phi=0.5$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A house that was heated by electric resistance heaters consumed 1200 kWh of electric energy in a winter month. If this house wer

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

$84

Explanation:

The coefficient of performance (COP) show the relationship between the power (kW) output of the heat pump and the power (kW) input to the compressor.

The heater consumed by the heater is 1200 kWh.

For a heat pump with a COP of 2.4, the electric input needed to produce an output of 1200 kWh is:

Electric input to heat pump = 1200 / 2.4 = 500 kWh

That means that supplying a heat pump with 500 kWh produces an output of 1200 kWh

The amount of power saved = power consumed by heater - power consumed by heat pump = 1200 - 500 = 700 kWh

Money saved = $0.12/kWh * 700 kWh = $84

A plastic sphere floats in water with 50.0% of its volume submerged. This same sphere floats in glycerin with 40.0% of its volum

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Explanation:

weight of water displaced=weight of sphere,

Since, plastic sphere floats in water with 50.0% of its volume submerged

so, water=2 sphere,

so sphere's density = 1/2 of water's density

Now, weight of glycerin displaced=weight of sphere,

Also given This same sphere floats in glycerin with 40.0% of its volume submerged.

so glycerin =2.5 sphere,

so sphere's density = .4 of glycerin's = 1/2 of water's.

So glycerin = 1.25 water
