Answer:

C = 5/9 x (F-32)

Explanation:

Formula for converting Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C):

C = 5/9 x (F-32)

The notation C represents the temperature in Celsius, and F is the temperature in Fahrenheit. After you know the formula, it is easy to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius with these three steps.

1.Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature.

2.Multiply this number by five.

3.Divide the result by nine.

For example, suppose the temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit and you want to know what the figure would be in Celsius. Use the above three steps:

C = 5/9 x (F - 32)

C = 5/9 x (98.6 - 32)

C = 5/9 x (66.6)

C = 37 C

When the pressure on a gas increases,what does the volume do?

kupik [55]

Answer:

As pressure goes up, volume goes down.

Explanation:

Pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. This means that as pressure goes up, volume goes down. And as volume goes up, pressure goes down.

For heat transfer purposes, an egg can be considered to be a 5.5-cm-diameter sphere having the properties of water. An egg that

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The time taken is $t = 40007 sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the egg is $d_e = 5.5cm = \frac{5.5}{100} = 5.5*10^{-2}m$

The initial temperature of egg the $T_e = 4.3^{o}C$

The temperature of the boiling water $T_b = 100^oC$

The heat transfer coefficient is $H = 800 W/m^2 \cdot K$

The final temperature is $T_e_f = 74^oC$

The thermal conductivity of water is $k = 0.607 W/m^oC$

The diffusivity of the egg $\alpha = 0.146 * 10^{-6} m^2 /s$

Using one term approximation

We have the

$\frac{T_e_f - T_b}{T_e - T_b} = Ae^{-\lambda ^2 \tau}$

The radius is $r = \frac{5.5*10^ {-2}}{2} =2.75*10^{-2}m$ Note that this radius is approximation to that of a real egg

Now we need to obtain the Biot number which help indicate the value of $A \ and \ \lambda$ to use in the above equation

The Biot number is mathematically represented as

$Bi = \frac{H r}{k}$

Substituting values

$Bi = \frac{800 * 2.75 *10^{-2}}{0.607}$

$= 36.24$

So for this value which greater than 0.1 the coefficient $\lambda_1 \ and \ A_1$ is

$\lambda = 3.06632$

$A = 1.9942$

Substituting this into equation 1 we have

$\frac{74- 100}{4.3 - 100} = 1.9942 e^{-(3.0632^2) \tau}$

$0.2717= 1.9942 e^{-(3.0632^2) \tau}$

$0.2717= 1.9942 e^{-9.383 \tau}$

$0.13624 = e^{-9.383 \tau}$

Taking natural log of both sides

$-1.993 = -9.383\ \tau$

$\tau = 0.2124$

The time required for the egg to be cooked is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\tau r^2}{\alpha }$

substituting value is

$= \frac{0.2124 * 2.75 *10^{-2}}{0.146 *10^{-6}}$

$t = 40007 sec$

A single strain gage has a nominal resistance of 120 ohm. For a quarter bridge with 120 ohm fixed resistors, strain gauge factor

natita [175]

Answer:

Output voltage is 1.507 mV

Solution:

As per the question:

Nominal resistance, R = $120\Omega$

Fixed resistance, R = $120\Omega$

Gauge Factor, G.F = 2.01

Supply Voltage, $V_{s} = 3\ V$

Strain, $\epsilon = 1000\times 10^{-6}\ strain$

Now,

To calculate the output voltage, $V_{o}$ :

WE know that strain is given by:

$\epsilon = \frac{(R + R')^{2}V_{o}}{RR'V_{s}\times G.F}$

Thus

$V_{o} = \frac{RR'V_{s}\epsilon \times G.F}{(R + R')^{2}}$

Now, substituting the suitable values in the above eqn:

$V_{o} = \frac{120\times 120\times 3\times 1000\times 10^{-6}\times 2.01}{(120 + 120)^{2}}$

$V_{o} = 1.507\ mV$

A moving particle is subject to conservative forces only. When its kinetic energy decreases by 10 J, what happens to its mechani

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Its mechanical energy is the same.

Explanation:

If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.

It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.

If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:

Em=K+U

Em: Mechanical energy

K: Kinetic energý

U: Potential energy

Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.
