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>

The total charge that an automobile battery can supply without being recharged is given in terms of ampere-hours. A typical 12 V
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

7.894 Hours.

Explanation:

Based on information number hours that this battery will last with give load  has mathematical relation of.

t = \frac{60Ah}{load in amperes.}

with load 60A t =  1h, 30A t = 2h so on and forth.

two head lights draw total current of 2x3.8A = 7.6A.

putting this in above relation gives.

t = \frac{60Ah}{7.6A}=7.894 h.

That is how long will it be before battery is dead.

A Micro –Hydro turbine generator is accelerating uniformly from an angular velocity of 610 rpm to its operating angular velocity
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Angular displacement of the turbine is 234.62 radian

Explanation:

initial angular speed of the turbine is

\omega_i = 2\pi f_1

\omega_1 = 2\pi(\frac{610}{60})

\omega_1 = 63.88 rad/s

similarly final angular speed is given as

\omega_f = 2\pi f_2

\omega_2 = 2\pi(\frac{837}{60})

\omega_2 = 87.65 rad/s

angular acceleration of the turbine is given as

\alpha = 5.9 rad/s^2

now we have to find the angular displacement is given as

\theta = \omega t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

\theta = (63.88)(3.2) + (\frac{1}{2})(5.9)(3.2^2)

\theta = 234.62 radian

Ben starts walking along a path at 3 3 mi/h. One and a half hours after Ben leaves, his sister Amanda begins jogging along the s
Drupady [299]

Answer:

3 hours

Explanation:

Given:

- The speed of Ben v_b = 3 mi/h

- The speed of Amanda v_a = 6 mi/h

- The total time taken to cover distance(d) by ben = t_b

Find:

How long will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?

Solution:

- The distance d traveled by Ben:

                                 d = v_b*t_b

                                 d = 3*t_b

- The distance d traveled by Amanda:

                                 d = v_a*t_a

                                 d = 6*t_a

- Equate the distance as when they meet:

                                 3*t_b = 6*t_a

- Where ,

                                  t_b = t_a + 1.5

                                  t_a = t_b - 1.5

- Substitute the time relationship in distance relationship:

                                  3*t_b = 6*(t_b - 1.5)

                                  3*t_b = 6*1.5

                                      t_b = 2*1.5 = 3 h

- Hence, It would take 3 hours since Ben starts walking that amanda catches up.

A stone is held at a height h above the ground. A second stone with four times the mass of the first one is held at the same hei
QveST [7]

gravitational potential energy is given by formula

U = mgh

here we need to compare the gravitational potential energy of stone 2 with respect to stone 1

so we will say

\frac{U_2}{U_1} = \frac{m_2gh}{m_1gh}

\frac{U_2}{U_1} =\frac{m_2}{m_1}

given that

m_2 = 4 m_1

now we have

\frac{U_2}{U_1} = 4
