<span>a. Calculate the mass is slugs and the weight in poundals of a 175 lbm man (i) on earth and (ii) on the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is one-sixth of its value on earth.

The weight is the attraction force exerted by the earth (or moon) on the body

This force is calculated by the second Law of Newton: F = m*a = m*g = weight.

i) In the Earth:

m = 175 lbm
g = 32.17 ft/s^2

=> Weight = 175 lbm * 32.17 ft/s^2 = 5,629.75 poundal

ii) g = 1/6 * 32.17 ft/s^2 = 5.36 ft/s^2

=> Weight = 175 lbm * 5.36 ft/s^2 = 938 poundal



b. A force of 355 poundals is exerted on a 25.0-slug object. At what rate (m/s2) does the object accelerate?

Second Law of Newton: F = m*a => a = F/m

a = 355 poundal / 25.0 slug = 14.2 ft/s^2

Conversion to m/s^2:

14.2 ft/s^2 * [0.3048 m/ft] =  4.33 m/s^2

Which will NOT occur when a light tray ray interacts with a smooth pane of glass?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B) diffraction

Explanation:

A smooth pane of glass does not diffract light. A light passing through a smooth pane of glass may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.

Diffraction only occurs with special types of glasses embedded with a diffraction grating and are called super prisms. Diffraction glasses use a a gradient lens which is able to  separate light into all the colors of the rainbow.

Recall that diffraction is the separation of white light into its component wavelengths.

How many grams of FeCl 3 are in 250. mL of a 0.100 M solution?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B

Explanation:

$Molarity=\frac{Weight}{Molecular \,weight} \frac{1000}{V(in \, ml)}

Given values,

Molarity of $FeCl_3=0.100M$

Volume of solution, $V=250ml$

Molecular weight of $FeCl_3=162.2$

Substituting this values in Molarity formula, we get

$0.1=\frac{weight}{162.2} \times\frac{1000}{250} $\\$\Rightarrow 16.22=weight\times4$\\$\Rightarrow weight=\frac{16.22}{4} $\\$\therefore weight=4.06g$
