Why should you never determine the mass of a hot object?

1 answer:

6 0

First reason is safety, of course.

Second reason, the hot object radiates heat in the form of convection current which will heat the air around it.
This current can cause instabilities in measurements especially when using sensitive digital scales.

If the newton is the product of kilograms and meters/second2 what units comprise the pound?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Pound is the product of slug and foot/square second.

Explanation:

We are given that

Force=1 N

1N= $1kg\times ms^{-2}$

We have to find the units comprise the pound.

Force=1 Pound

Mass=Slug

Acceleration= $ft/s^2$

Therefore,

1 pound= $1 slug\times fts^{-2}$

Therefore, we can write as 1 pound is equal to the product of slug and ft/square second.

Hence, pound is the product of slug and foot/square second.

An object that weighs 2.450 N is attached to an ideal massless spring and undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with a period o

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 24.1 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the object, W = 2.45 N

Time period of oscillation of simple harmonic motion, T = 0.64 s

To find,

Spring constant of the spring.

Solution,

In case of simple harmonic motion, the time period of oscillation is given by :

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}$

m is the mass of object

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{2.45}{9.8}$

m = 0.25 kg

$k=\dfrac{4\pi^2m}{T^2}$

$k=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 0.25}{(0.64)^2}$

k = 24.09 N/m

k = 24.11 N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is 24.1 N/m.

If period of the pendulum in preceding sample problem were 24s how tall would the tower be ?

frutty [35]

Answer:

So length of pendulum is 143.129 m

Explanation:

We have given period of simple pendulum is 2 sec

We have to find the length of simple pendulum

Let the length of pendulum is l

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$ is

Time period is given by $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

So $24=2\times 3.14\times \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.8}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.8}}=3.821$

Squaring both side

${\frac{l}{9.8}}=14.60$

l =143.129 m

So length of pendulum is 143.129 m

The equation for the change in the position of a train (measured in units of length) is given by the following expression: x = ½

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

(B) (length)/(time³)

Explanation

The equation x = ½ at² + bt³ has to be dimensionally correct. In other words the term bt³ and ½ at² must have units of change of position = length.

We solve in order to find the dimension of b:

[x]=[b]*[t]³

length=[b]*time³

[b]=length/time³
