Answer:

Original Weight = 48 N

Explanation:

When an object hanging from the roof of an elevator and the elevator moves upward with a certain acceleration say a, then the observe weight is always greater than the actual weight.

And when elevator moves downward direction with acceleration a, then the observe weight is always lesser than the actual weight.

Given data:

a = 2.45 m/s²

Balance reading = Tension = T = 60 N

As elevator moves upward,

So,

               T = m(g + a)

         60 N = m(9.81 + 2.45)

               m = 60/12.26

               m = 4.89 kg

This is the original mass of the hanging fish.

We know that

                Weight = W = mg

                                W = 4.89 × 9.81

                                W = 48 N

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter D = 1.40\times10^{2}\ pm

D=1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}\ m

Distance = 2.60 cm

We calculate the number of atoms

Using formula of numbers of atoms

Number\ of\ atoms =\dfrac{2.60\times10^{-2}}{1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}}

Number\of\atoms =1.86\times10^{8}

Hence, The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.

The universe was 5 percent its current size when light left objects observed now at redshift of ______________
Nuetrik [128]

The redshift of distant galaxy are larger than those of closer galaxies, which indicates that the galaxy is receding at a faster rate.

  • The Universe was 5 percent its current size when light left objects now at redshift of <u>19</u>.

Reasons:

The size of the universe represented as a scale factor with relation to the redshift can be presented as follows;

\displaystyle \frac{a}{a_0}  =\mathbf{ \frac{1}{1 + z}}

Where;

a₀ = The current size of the Universe

a = The size of the early Universe = 5% of a

Therefore;

\displaystyle \frac{a}{a_0}  =5\% = 0.05=  \frac{1}{1 + z}

\displaystyle 0.05  = \frac{1}{1 + z}

0.05 + 0.05·z = 1

\displaystyle z = \mathbf{ \frac{1 - 0.05}{0.05} } = 19

  • The redshift is of the observed light is, z = <u>19</u>

Assume a reaction takes 7.5 moles of anhydrous calcium chloride and energy transfer occurs, which we record as 21.2 joules of en
OLga [1]

Answer: 2.83 J/mol

Explanation:

Heat of solution, sometimes interchangeably called enthalpy of solution, is said to be the energy released or absorbed when the solute dissolves in the solvent. A solute is that which can dissolve in a solvent, to form a solution

Given

No of moles of CaCl = 7.5 mol

Total energy used = 21.2 J

Heat of solution = q/n where

q = total energy

n = number of moles

Heat of solution = 21.2 / 7.5

Heat of solution = 2.83 J/mol

Water enters the constant 130-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7 MPa and 65°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 450°C wit
snow_lady [41]

The inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Explanation:

When water entering the tube of constant diameter flows through the tube, it exhibits continuity of mass in the hydrostatics. So the mass of water moving from the inlet to the outlet tend to be same, but the velocity may differ.

As per mass flow equality which states that the rate of flow of mass in the inlet is equal to the product of area of the tube with the velocity of the water and the density of the tube.

Since, the inlet volume flow is measured as the product of velocity with the area.

Inlet volume flow=Inlet velocity*Area*time

And the mass flow rate is  

Mass flow rate in the inlet=density*area*inlet velocity*time

Mass flow rate in the outlet=density*area*outlet velocity*time

Since, the time and area is constant, the inlet and outlet will be same as

(Mass inlet)/(density*inlet velocity)=Area*Time

(Mass outlet)/(density*outlet velocity)=Area*Time

As the ratio of mass to density is termed as specific volume, then  

(Specific volume inlet)/(Inlet velocity)=(Specific volume outlet)/(Outlet velocity)

Inlet velocity=  (Specific volume inlet)/(Specific volume outlet)*Outlet velocity

As, the specific volume of water at inlet is 0.001017 m³/kg and at outlet is 0.05217 m³/kg and the outlet velocity is given as 72 m/s, the inlet velocity

is

Inlet velocity = \frac{0.001017}{0.05217}*72 =1.4035 m/s

So, the inlet velocity is 1.4035 m/s.

Then the inlet volume will be

Inlet volume = inlet velocity*area of circle=\pi  r^{2}*inlet velocity

As the diameter of tube is 130 mm, then the radius is 65 mm and inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s

Inlet volume = 1.4*3.14*65*65*10^{-6} =0.019 \frac{m^{3} }{s}

So, the inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Thus, the inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.
