Complete question:

A college dormitory room measures 14 ft wide by 13 ft long by 6 ft high. Weight density of air is 0.07 lbs/ft3. What is the weight of air in it under normal conditions?

Answer:

the weight of the air is 76.44 lbs

Explanation:

Given;

dimension of the dormitory, = 14 ft by 13 ft by 6 ft

density of the air, = 0.07 lbs/ft³

The volume of the air in the dormitory room = 14 ft x 13 ft x 6 ft

                                                                          = 1092 ft³

The weight of the air = density  x  volume

                                   = 0.07 lbs/ft³  x  1092 ft³

                                   = 76.44 lbs

Therefore, the weight of the air is 76.44 lbs

What causes a satellite to move tangentially to a circular path?
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation : We know that two forces acting on the satellite.

The speed of the satellite and the force of the gravity on the satellite then the result , the satellite moves around the earth in a circular motion.

A satellite to move tangentially to a circular path, while revolving around the circular path because the centripetal force is acting on it.

So, we can say gravity is responsible for the motion of the satellite in a circular path.

Is this statement true or false? The next generation of nuclear power plants being built in California and South Africa are even
alexira [117]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Modern safer and cheaper nuclear reactors can not only meet the range of our long term energy demands, they can also fight global warming.

Modern techniques provide ways to reduce radioactive waste amount. "A closed fuel cycle may be switched on for new kinds of nuclear plants. Alternatively, the waste is chemically dissuaded to transform the reusable element into fuel. This implies that nuclear waste would not be buried.

Which of the following is MOST useful to scientists in measuring the size of asteroids?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:c-The gravitational effect when spacecraft flies close to the asteriod

Explanation:

Gravitational effect on the spacecraft gives an estimate that how big is the asteroid by experiencing its gravitational pull.

The amount of extra thrust required to maintain the trajectory of the spacecraft during its motion hints at the scientist about the size of the asteroid.

Gravitational pull is directly proportional to the mass of object so greater the mass, greater will be the pull.

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area, but the plate gap in capacitor 1 is twice as big as capacitor 2. If capa
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C

Explanation:

\texttt{Capacitance, C}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A}{d}

Where A is the area, d is the gap between plates and ε₀ is the dielectric constant.

Let C₁ be the capacitance of first capacitor with area A₁ and gap between plates d₁.

We have    

              \texttt{Capacitance, C}_1=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=C

Similarly for capacitor 2

               \texttt{Capacitance, C}_2=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_2}{d_2}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{\frac{d_1}{2}}=2\times \frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=2C

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C

Which law is associated with inertia
N76 [4]

Answer:

The focus of Lesson 1 is Newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
