At a certain elevation, the pilot of a balloon has a mass of 120 lb and a weight of 119 lbf. What is the local acceleration of g

ravity, in ft/s2, at that elevation? If the balloon drifts to another elevation where g = 32.05 ft/s2, what is her weight, in lbf, and mass, in lb?

Answer:

1) g=31.87ft/s^2

2)m=120

W=119.64lbf

Explanation:

first part

the weight of a body with mass is calculated by the following equation

W=mg

we convert 120lb to slug

m=120lbx1slug/32.147lb=3.733slug

solving for g

g=W/m

g=119/3.733=31.87ft/s^2

second part

the mass is the same

m=120lb=3.733slug

Weight

W=3.733slug*32.05ft/s^2=119.64lbf

What gadgets are charge coupled devices used in?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

They are used in imaging application gadgets such as video cameras,TV, surveillance cameras and document scanners

Explanation:

A charge couple device (CCDs) are highly capable in imagery detector.Its common application is in video and digital imaging.The quality of a charge couple device is determined by factors such as the dynamic range, dark charge level and the quantum efficiency.These devices serve the purpose of detecting optical images though some are installed with applications for data storage.

Why do we care about a material's ability to resist torsional deformation?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

(A) Because the angle of twist of a material is often used to predict its shear toughness

Explanation:

In engineering, torsion is the solicitation that occurs when a moment is applied on the longitudinal axis of a construction element or mechanical prism, such as axes or, in general, elements where one dimension predominates over the other two, although it is possible to find it in diverse situations.

The torsion is characterized geometrically because any curve parallel to the axis of the piece is no longer contained in the plane initially formed by the two curves. Instead, a curve parallel to the axis is twisted around it.

The general study of torsion is complicated because under that type of solicitation the cross section of a piece in general is characterized by two phenomena:

1- Tangential tensions appear parallel to the cross section.

2- When the previous tensions are not properly distributed, which always happens unless the section has circular symmetry, sectional warps appear that make the deformed cross sections not flat.

A house is losing heat at a rate of 1700 kJ/h per °C temperature difference between the indoor and the outdoor temperatures. Exp
Furkat [3]

Answer:

1700kJ/h.K

944.4kJ/h.R

944.4kJ/h.°F

Explanation:

Conversions for different temperature units are below:

1K = 1°C + 273K

1R = T(K) * 1.8

= (1°C + 273) * 1.8

1°F = (1°C * 1.8) + 32

Q/delta T = 1700kJ/h.°C

T (K) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/K

T (R) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/h.°C * 1°C/1.8R

= 944.4kJ/h.R

T (°F) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/h.°C * 1°C/1.8°F

= 944.4kJ/h.°F

Note that arithmetic operations like subtraction and addition of values do not change or affect the value of a change in temperature (delta T) hence, the arithmetic operations are not reflected in the conversion. Illustration: 5°C - 3°C

= 2°C

(273+5) - (273+3)

= 2 K

When lining up the song on the tempo grid it is important to allow
Reika [66]

Tempo decides the speed at which the music is played.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Tempo of a bit of music decides the speed at which it is played, and is estimated in beats per minute (BPM). The 'beat' is dictated when mark of the piece, so 100 BPM in 4/4 compares to 100 quarter notes in a single moment.

A quick tempo, prestissimo, has somewhere in the range of 200 and 208 beats for each moment, presto has 168 to 200 beats for every moment, allegro has somewhere in the range of 120 and 168 beats for every moment, moderato has 108 to 120 beats for every moment, moderately slow and even has 76 to 108, adagio has 66 to 76, larghetto has 60 to 66, and largo, the slowest rhythm, has 40 to 60.
