A researcher studying the nutritional value of a new candy places a 4.60 g sample of the candy inside a bomb calorimeter and com

blagie [28]

Answer:

4500.5 nutritional calories per gram

Explanation:

Heat lost by the new candy = heat gained by the bomb calorimeter.

Heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = c×ΔT

where c = heat capacity of the calorimeter = 32.20 KJ/K = 32200 J/K

ΔT = change in temperature = 2.69°C = 2.69 K.

Heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = 32200 × 2.69 = 86618 J

Heat lost by the new candy = heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = 86618 J = 20702.2 calories

4.60 g of the new candy lost this amount of calories by undergoing combustion,

The amount of calories per g = 20702.2 calories/4.6 g = 4500.5 calories per gram

Course hero N4M.6 A board has one end wedged under a rock having a mass of 380 kg and is supported by another rock that touches

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $m=380kg$

Height of supporting Rock $X=85cm$

Length of Board $L_r=4.5m$

Mass of board $M_b=22kg$

Mass of adult $M_a=62$

Generally the moment of balance about wedge part about is mathematically given by

$N -Q + R = Mg + mg$

$0.85*N - Mg*2.25 - mg*(2.25 + x) = 0$

$0.85*N = + Mg*2.25 + mg*(2.25 + x)$

where

$N+R=4547$

therefore

$N = 570.70588 + 1608.3529 + 714.823 x$

if N=0 at fallen person

$x=3.04m$

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

A wheel has a radius of 5.9 m. How far (path length) does a point on the circumference travel if the wheel is rotated through an

posledela

Answer:

(a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5.9 m

(a). Angle $\theta=30°$

We need to calculate the angle in radian

$\theta=30\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}$

$\theta=0.523\ rad$

We need to calculate the path length

Using formula of path length

$Path\ length =angle\times radius$

$Path\ length=0.523\times5.9$

$Path\ length =3.09\ m$

(b). Angle = 30 rad

We need to calculate the path length

$Path\ length=30\times5.9$

$Path\ length=177\ m$

(c). Angle = 30 rev

We need to calculate the angle in rad

$\theta=30\times2\pi$

$\theta=188.4\ rad$

We need to calculate the path length

$Path\ length=188.4\times5.9$

$Path\ length =1111.56\ m$

Hence, (a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 10 m/s^2. What will the acceleration be if: a) The

Liula [17]

What you need to know is that the force is

F=ma

The force is the product of mass and acceleration

this means that the acceleration is

a=F/m

a) The force is halved?
this means that f will be $\frac{F}{2}$ now:

a= $\frac{F}{2m}$

So the accelaration will also he halved (it's the original acceleratation divided by 2)

b) The object's mass is halved?
a= $\frac{F}{m/2}$ =a= $\frac{F2}{m}$

which is the original acceleration times two!! so it will double

c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?
now we have

a= $\frac{F/2}{m/2}$ =a= $\frac{2F}{2m}$ =a= $\frac{F}{m}$

so they will cancel each other out and the acceleration will stay the same!
