Answer:

178200 g mile pounds

Explanation:

Work= Force * Distance= Fh

F=ma=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Work= 165 pounds *g* 1080 m=  178200 g mile pounds

butalik [34]

Answer:

The temperature of the gas is 1197.02 K

Explanation:

From ideal gas law;

PV = nRT

Where;

P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume of the gas

R is ideal gas constant = 8.314 L.kPa/mol.K

T is the temperature of the gas

n is the number of moles of gas

Volume of the gas in the cylindrical container = πr²h

Given;

r = 6/2 = 3 cm = 0.03 m

h = 11 cm = 0.11 m

V = π × (0.03)² × 0.11 = 3.11 × 10⁻⁴ m³ = 0.311 L

number of moles of oxygen gas = Reacting mass / molar mass

=\frac{0.1}{32} = 0.003125, moles

T = \frac{PV}{nR} = \frac{100X0.311}{0.003125X8.314} =1197.02K

Therefore, the temperature of the gas is 1197.02 K

Explain whether or not there is any difference between a light ray emitted by a candle flame and one reflected off the cover of
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

the difference between the two is that the candle forms an emission spectrum and the book an absorption spectrum.

the book it is observed in all directions so that its reflection has to be diffused

Explanation:

The ray of light emitted by a candle is the light generated by the temperature of the flame, which is made up of the emissions of a black body at this temperature plus the emissions of the chemical elements that make up the candle.

The Light reflected from the cover of a book is the same incident light spectrum minus the wavelengths that create transitions in the elements of the cover, these wavelengths will be seen as dark areas.

As a consequence of the above, the difference between the two is that the candle forms an emission spectrum and the book an absorption spectrum.

For the cover of the book form a specular reflection the incident rays are reflected in one direction and the rest would be dark, but in the book it is observed in all directions so that its reflection has to be diffused

A sound technician is testing the sound acoustics in a theatre for an upcoming music concert. As he moves towards the speakers,
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: Increase in wave frequency

Explanation:

When we talk about acoustics we are dealing with sound waves, and one of their main components along with the velocity and wavelength is the <u>frequency.</u>

In this sense, the frequency of any wave refers to how fast (or slow) a wave oscillates. For example, in the especific case of sound waves when the oscillation is faster, the frequency is higher and the pitch gets higher as well.

A person in a boat sees a fish in the water (n = 1.33, the light rays making an angle of 40? relative to the water's surface. wh
jek_recluse [69]
We know that the measure of an incident ray is:  α 1 = 40°.
The index of refraction:
- for the air : n 1 = 1.00,
- for the water: n 2 = 1.33
Snell`s Law of Refraction :
n 1 · sin α 1 = n 2 · sin α 2
sin α 2 = n 1 · sin α 1 / n 2 =
= 1.00 · sin 40° / 1.33 = 0.64278 / 1.33 = 0.4833
α 2 = sin ^(-1) 0.4833
α 2 = 28.9 °
Answer: The angle relative to the water`s surface of the rays when beneath the surface is 28.9°.

What is the radius of an automobile tire that turns with a period of 0.091 s and has a linear
faust18 [17]

Answer:

1) The radius of the tire is approximately 0.28966 meters

2) The centripetal force is the force that keeps a body moving on a circular path

Explanation:

1) The linear speed of the automobile tire = 20.0 m/s

The period with which the tire turns = 0.091 s

The period = The time it takes to make a complete turn

Therefore;

The number of turns in 1 second = 1/0.091 ≈ 10.989 turns

The distance covered with 10.989 turns, assuming no friction = 10.989 × The circumference of the tire

∴ The distance covered with 10.989 turns, assuming no friction = 10.989 × 2 × π × Radius of the tire

From the speed of the car, 20.0 m/s, we have;

The distance covered in 1 second = 20.0 meters

Therefore;

10.989 × 2 × π × Radius of the tire = 20.0 meters

Radius of the tire = (20.0 meters)/(10.289 × 2 × π) ≈ 0.28966 meters

The radius of the tire ≈ 0.28966 meters

2) The centripetal force is the force required to maintain the curved motion of an object, and having a direction towards the center of the rotary motion.

The centripetal force is given by the formula, F = \dfrac{m \cdot v^2}{r}

Where;

F = The centripetal force

m = The mass of the object

v = The linear velocity of the object

r = The radius of the rotational motion.
