Answer:

3 x 10⁻⁹km

3 x 10⁻⁴cm

2.73 x 10⁶μm

Explanation:

 A micron is a subunit of measurement usually for length dimensions.

                     1μm   = 1 x 10⁻⁶m

a. How many microns make up 3km;

         Now convert to meter first;

                 1000m  = 1km

           So, 3km will be made up of 3000m

So;

          1 x 10⁻⁶m    =     1μm  

         3000m  =   \frac{3000}{1 x 10^{-6} }   = \frac{3  x 10^{3} }{ 1  x  10^{-6} }   = 3 x 10⁻⁹km

b.  How many centimeters equal 3.0 μm?

            Since;

                        1μm   = 1 x 10⁻⁶m

                         3μm  = 3 x 1 x 10⁻⁶  = 3 x 10⁻⁶m

So;

            100cm  = 1m;

                  1m  = 100cm

             3 x 10⁻⁶m  = 3 x 10⁻⁶  x 10²   = 3 x 10⁻⁴cm

c. How many microns are in 3.0 yd?  

              1yd  = 0.91m

              3yd  = 3 x 0.91  = 2.73m

So;

            1 x 10⁻⁶m    =     1μm  

              2.73m will give \frac{2.73}{1 x 10^{-6} }   = 2.73 x 10⁶μm

When a 5.0 kg box is hung from a spring, the spring stretches to 50 mm beyond its relaxed length. (a) In an elevator acceleratin
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

a) the spring will stretch 60.19 mm with the same box attached as it accelerates upwards

b) spring will be relaxed when the elevator accelerates downwards at 9.81 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

Gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s²

Mass m = 5 kg

Extension of the spring X = 50 mm = 0.05 m

Spring constant k = ?

 we know that;

mg = kX  

5 × 9.81 = k(0.05)

k = 981 N/m

a)

Given that; Acceleration of the elevator a = 2 m/s² upwards

Extension of the spring in this situation = X1

Force exerted by the spring = F

we know that;

ma = F - mg

ma = kX1 - mg

we substitute

5 × 2 = 981 × X1 - (5 ×9.81 )

X1 = 0.06019 m

X1 = 60.19 mm

Therefore the spring  will stretch 60.19 mm with the same box attached as it accelerates upwards

B)

Acceleration of the elevator = a

The spring is relaxed i.e, it is not exerting any force on the box.

Only the weight force of the box is exerted on the box.

ma = mg

a = g

a = 9.81 m/s² downwards.

Therefore spring will be relaxed when the elevator accelerates downwards at 9.81 m/s²

A small grinding wheel is attached to the shaft of an electric motor which has a rated speed of 3600 rpm. When the power is turn
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

(a) θ1 = 942.5rad, (b) θ2 = 13195 rad

Explanation:

(a) Given

ωo = 0 rad/s

ω = 3600rev/min = 3600×2(pi)/60 rad/s

ω = 377rad/s

t1 = 5s

θ1 = (ω + ωo)t/2

θ1 = (377 +0)×5/2

θ1 = 942.5 rads

(b) ωo = 377rad/s

ω = 0 rad/s

t2 = 70s

θ2 = (ω + ωo)t/2

θ2 = (377 +0)×70/2

θ2 = 13195 rad

A reciprocating compressor is a device that compresses air by a back-and-forth straight-line motion, like a piston in a cylinder
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The temperature change per compression stroke is 32.48°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular frequency = 150 rpm

Stroke = 2.00 mol

Initial temperature = 390 K

Supplied power = -7.9 kW

Rate of heat = -1.1 kW

We need to calculate the time for compressor

Using formula of compression

\terxt{time for compression}=\text{time for half revolution}

\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times T

\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{f}

Put the value into the formula

\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{150}\times60

\terxt{time for compression}=0.2\ sec

We need to calculate the rate of internal energy

Using first law of thermodynamics

U=Q-W

\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}-\dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=(-1.1)-(7.9)

\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=6.8\ kW

We need to calculate the temperature change per compression stroke

Using formula of rate of internal energy

\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{nc_{v}\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}

\Delta\theta=\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}\times\dfrac{\Delta t}{n\times c_{c}}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta \theta=6.8\times10^{3}\dfrac{0.2}{2.0\times20.93}

\Delta\theta=32.48^{\circ}

Hence, The temperature change per compression stroke is 32.48°.

A car accelerates at 3 m/s*2. Assuming the car starts from rest, how much time does it need to
uranmaximum [27]
<h3><u>Given</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Acceleration,a = 3 m/s²

Initial velocity,u = 0 m/s

Final velocity,v = 12 m/s

<h3><u>To</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>calculated:-</u><u> </u></h3>

Calculate the time take by a car.

<h3><u>Solution:-</u><u> </u></h3>

According to the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

★ Substituting the values in the above formula,we get:

⇒ 12 = 0 + 3 × t

⇒ 12 = 3t

⇒ 3t = 12

⇒ t = 12/3

⇒ t = 4 sec
