Taking into account the rule of three for the change of units, the mass of the book is 45600 miligrams.

First of all, the rule of three is a mathematical tool that helps you quickly solve proportionality problems.

Having three known values and one unknown, a proportional relationship is established between all of them in order to find the fourth term of the proportion.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases, so does the other; or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the rule of three is applied as follows, where a, b and c are known values and x is the unknown to calculate:

a → b

c → x

So: $x=\frac{cxb}{a}$

Being 1 kg equivalent to 1000000 milligrams, In this case the rule of three is applied as follows: if 1 kg equals 1000000 milligrams, 4.56×10⁻² kg equals how many milligrams?

1 kg → 1000000 milligrams

4.56×10⁻² kg → x

So:

$x=\frac{4.56x10^{-2} kg x1000000 miligrams }{1 kg}$

<u><em>x=45600 miligrams</em></u>

In summary, the mass of the book is 45600 miligrams.

Describe in terms of kinetic and potential energy what happens if an apple falls from a tree and comes to rest on the ground( wr

Lunna [17]

Answer:

An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv² where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.

As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.

But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.

Assume you need to design a hydronic system that can deliver 80,000 Btu/hr. What flow rate of water is required if the temperatu

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

At 10°F change in temperature

Mass flowrate = 1.01 kg/s = 2.227 lbm/s

Volumetric flowrate = 1010 m³/s = 35667.8 ft³/s

At 20°F change in temperature

Mass flowrate = 0.505 kg/s = 1.113 lbm/s

Volumetric flowrate = 505 m³/s = 17833.9 ft³/s

Explanation:

80000 btu/hr = 23445.7 W

P = ṁc(ΔT)

ṁ = MASS flowrate

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4182 J/kg.K,

ΔT = change in temperature = 10°F

To convert, a change of 18°F is equal to a change of 10°C

A change of 10°F = 10×10/18 = 5.556°C = 5.556K

P = ṁc(ΔT)

23445.7 = ṁ(4182 × 5.556)

ṁ = 23445.7/(4182 × 5.556)

ṁ = 1.01 kg/s = 2.227 lbm/s

In volumetric flow rate, Q = density × mass flowrate = 1000 × 1.01 = 1010 m³/s = 35667.8 ft³/s

For a change of 20°F,

ΔT = change in temperature = 20°F

To convert, a change of 18°F is equal to a change of 10°C

A change of 20°F = 20×10/18 = 11.1111°C = 11.111K

P = ṁc(ΔT)

23445.7 = ṁ(4182 × 11.111)

ṁ = 23445.7/(4182 × 11.111)

ṁ = 0.505 kg/s = 1.113 lbm/s

In volumetric flow rate, Q = density × mass flowrate = 1000 × 0.505 = 505 m³/s = 17833.9 ft³/s

Hope this Helps!!!

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. The total mechanical energy of a syst

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1) True, 2) True, 3) False, 4) False, 5) False

Explanation:

1) True. Dissipative energy cannot be recovered, in general it is a form of heat

2) True. The dissipation can be by radiation, heat

3) False. Mechanical energy is divided into K and U but not in equal parts

4) False. When there are dissipative interactions, part of the mechanical energy is set in the form of heat, so its value decreases

5) False. Mechanical energy is the sum of those two energies

If gravity between the Sun and Earth suddenly vanished, Earth would continue moving in

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Earth would continue moving by uniform motion, with constant velocity, in a straight line

Explanation:

The question can be answered by using Newton's first law of motion, also known as law of inertia, which states that:

"an object keeps its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external net force different from zero"

This means that if there are no forces acting on an object, the object stays at rest (if it was not moving previously) or it continues moving with same velocity (if it was already moving) in a straight line.

In this problem, the Earth is initially moving around the Sun, with a certain tangential velocity v. When the Sun disappears, the force of gravity that was keeping the Earth in circular motion disappears too: therefore, there are no more forces acting on the Earth, and so by the 1st law of Newton, the Earth will continue moving with same velocity v in a straight line.
