The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.

a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>

b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>

A hoop is rolling (without slipping) on a horizontal surface so it has two types of kinetic energy: translational kinetic energy
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

\dfrac{T}{K}=1

Explanation:

The translational kinetic energy of the hoop is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}Mv^2..................(1)

M is the mass of the hoop

v is the velocity of the hoop

The rotational kinetic energy of the hoop is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

Since, I=MR^2

\omega=\dfrac{v}{R}

T=\dfrac{1}{2}\times MR^2\times (\dfrac{v}{R})^2..............(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

\dfrac{T}{K}=1

Therefore, the ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy is 1.

A battery charges a parallel-plate capacitor fully and then is removed. The plates are then slowly pulled apart. What happens to
White raven [17]

Answer:

<h2>The potential difference increases </h2>

Explanation:

from the relation E= \frac{V}{d}

where E= electric field (force per coulomb)

            V= voltage

            d= distance

Hence the voltage is going to be V= E×d.

Therefore this means that increasing the distance increases the voltage.

Observe: Up until now, all the problems you have solved have involved converting only one unit. However, some conversion problem
ipn [44]

Answer:

t is appropriate to clarify that units such as time and angles the transformation is not in base ten, for example:

        60 s = 1 min

        60 min = 1 h

        24 h = 1 day

Therefore, for this transformation, you must be more careful

the length transformation is base 10

Explanation:

In many exercises the units used are transformed by equations into other units called derivatives, in general the transformation of derived units is the product of the transformation of the constituent units.

In the example of velocity, the derivative unit is m / s, which is why it works in the same way that you transform length and time if in the equation it is multiplying it is multiplied and if it is dividing it is divided.

It is appropriate to clarify that units such as time and angles the transformation is not in base ten, for example:

        60 s = 1 min

        60 min = 1 h

        24 h = 1 day

Therefore, for this transformation, you must be more careful

the length transformation is base 10

      1000 m = 1 km
