Answer:

The temperature is 233.15 K

Explanation:

Recall the formula to convert degree Celsius (C) into Fahrenheit (F):

$\frac{9}{5} C+32=F$

So if we want the value of degree C to be the same as the value of the degree F, we want the following: C = F

which replacing F with C on the right hand side of the equation above, allows us to solve for C:

$\frac{9}{5} C+32=F\\\frac{9}{5} C+32=C\\\frac{9}{5} C-\frac{5}{5} C =-32\\\frac{4}{5} C==32\\C= \frac{-32\,*\,5}{4} \\C=-40$

This means that -40°C = -40°F

And this temperature in Kelvin is:

-40°C + 273.15 = 233.15 K

Answer:

$P_{out} = 0.100 W = 100 mW$

Explanation:

The attached image shows the system expressed in the question.

We can define an expression for the system.

The equivalent equation for the system would be

$G_{total} = G_{1} + G_{2} + G_{3}\\G_{total} = -16dB+20dB-10 dB = -6 dB$

so, the input signal could be expressed in dB terms

$P_{in} [dB] = 10 log_{10}(P_{in}) \\P_{in} [dB] = 10 log_{10}(0.4)\\P_{in} [dB] = -3.97 dB$ (1)

so the output signal could be expressed as.

$P_{out} = P_{in} + G_{1} + G_{2} + G_{3}\\P_{out} = -3.97 dB - 6dB = -9.97 dB$

The gain should be expressed in dB terms and power in dBm terms so

$P_{out} = -9.97 + 30 = 20.03 dBm$

using the (1) equation to find it in terms of Watts

$P_{out} = 0.100 W = 100 mW$

A gas has an initial volume of 168 cm3 at a temperature of 255 K and a pressure of 1.6 atm. The pressure of the gas decreases to

erastovalidia [21]

Would presume you are asked to find the volume, since there is no second volume.

By General Gas Law:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

1.6 * 168 /255 = 1.3*V₂/285

V₂ = 1.6 * 168 * 285 / (1.3*255)

V₂ = 231.095

Final volume ≈ 231 cm³

Tamiku [17]

Answer: 80m

Explanation:

Distance of balloon to the ground is 3150m

Let the distance of Menin's pocket to the ground be x

Let the distance between Menin's pocket to the balloon be y

Hence, x=3150-y------1

Using the equation of motion,

V^2= U^s + 2gs--------2

U= initial speed is 0m/s

g is replaced with a since the acceleration is under gravity (g) and not straight line (a), hence g is taken as 10m/s

40m/s is contant since U (the coin is at rest is 0) hence V =40m/s

Slotting our values into equation 2

40^2= 0^2 + 2 * 10* (3150-y)

1600 = 0 + 63000 - 20y

1600 - 63000 = - 20y

-61400 = - 20y minus cancel out minus on both sides of the equation

61400 = 20y

Hence y = 61400/20

3070m

Hence, recall equation 1

x = 3150 - 3070

80m

I hope this solve the problem.
