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>

One component of a metal sculpture consists of a solid cube with an edge of length 38.9 cm. The alloy used to make the cube has
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The mass of the cube is 420.8 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of edge = 38.9 cm

Density \rho= 7.15 \times10^{3}\ kg/m^3

We need to calculate the volume of cube

Using formula of volume

V = 38.9^3

V=0.058863\ m^3

We need to calculate the mass of the cube

Using formula of density

\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}

m = V\times\rho

m =0.058863\times7.15 \times10^{3}

m=420.8\ kg

Hence, The mass of the cube is 420.8 kg.

A student is asked to describe the path of a paper airplane that is thrown in the classroom. Which statement best describes the
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The paper airplane will create a curved path towards the floor as it is pulled toward <u><em>Earth's center.</em></u>

Explanation: The paper airplane will be pulled to the center because <u><em>Earth has a much greater mass than objects on its surface.</em></u> And it will curve because of the amount of <u><em>force</em></u> you are putting onto the plane.

There are lots of examples of ideal gases in the universe, and they exist in many different conditions. In this problem we will
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

P = ρRT/M

Explanation:

Ideal gas equation is given as follows generally:

PV = nRT (1)

P = pressure in the containing vessel

V = volume of the containing vessel

n = number of moles

R = gas constant

T = temperature in K

n = m/M

m = mass of the gas contained in the vessel in g

M = molar mass in g/mol

ρ = m/V

Density of the gas = ρ

Substituting for n in (1)

PV = mRT/M. (2)

Dividing equation (2) through by V

P = m/V ×RT/M

P = ρRT/M

3. A 4.1 x 10-15 C charge is able to pick up a bit of paper when it is initially 1.0 cm above the paper. Assume an induced charg
Anni [7]

Answer:

\mathbf{1.51\times10^{-15}N}

Explanation:

The computation of the weight of the paper in newtons is shown below:

On the paper, the induced charge is of the same magnitude as on the initial charges and in sign opposite.

Therefore the paper charge is

q_{paper}=-4.1\times10^{-15}C

Now the distance from the charge is

r=1cm=0.01m

Now, to raise the paper, the weight of the paper acting downwards needs to be managed by the electrostatic force of attraction between both the paper and the charge, i.e.

mg=\frac{k_{e}q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

\Rightarrow W=mg

=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times(4.1\times10^{-15})^{2}}{0.01^{2}}

=\mathbf{1.51\times10^{-15}N}
