A small airplane takes on 302 l of fuel. If the density of the fuel is 0.821 g/ml, what mass of fuel has the airplane taken on?

ella [17]

To calculate the mass of the fuel, we use the formula

$m = V \times \rho$

Here, m is the mass of fuel, V is the volume of the fuel and its value is $V =302 \ L = 302 \ L \times \frac{10^{3}m L }{L} = 302 \times 10^{3} \ mL$ and $\rho$ is the density and its value of 0.821 g/mL.

Substituting these values in above relation, we get

$m = 302 \times 10^{3} \ mL \times 0.821 g/mL = 247942 g \\\\ m = 247. 94 \ kg$

Thus, the mass of the fuel 247 .94 kg.

How many neutrons are needed to initiate the fission reaction shown?

nalin [4]

Answer: One neutron

Explanation:

one neutron 1/0n

Sum up the mass numbers on the right 99 + 135 + 2 = 236.

The sum of the mass numbers on the left should equal 236. 235 + 1 = 236

Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

densk [106]

From the given problem, a limit on the depression of a building is placed at 20 centimeters. To solve how many floors can be safely added, a quantity of how many cm will a building sink for each floor that is added is needed. Unfortunately, it is not found anywhere in the problem. However, we can provide a formula to solve for the depression. This is as follows:

Building depression < 20 cm

Building depression = (cm depression per floor) * (no. of floors)

Andrea and Chuck are riding on a merry-go-round. Andrea rides on a horse at the outer rim of the circular platform, twice as far

marta [7]

a) Their angular speeds are the same

b) Andrea's tangential speed is twice the value of Chuck's tangential speed

Explanation:

The angular speed of Andrea and Chuck is the same.

Let's call $\omega$ the angular speed at which the merry-go-round is rotating. We know that the angular speed is defined as:

$\omega= \frac{2\pi}{T}$

where

$2 \pi$ is the angular displacement covered in one revolution

T is the period of revolution

The merry go round is a rigid body, so all its point cover the same angular displacement in the same time: this means that it doesn't matter where Andrea and Chuck are located along the merry-go-round, their angular speed will still be the same.

For an object in circular motion, the tangential speed is given by

$v=\omega r$
