By definition it is known that force equals mass by acceleration. In other words F = m * a. To find the acceleration, you must clear the formula mentioned. Therefore, for a force of 190.08N and a mass of 28 Kg, we have that the acceleration is a = F / m = (190.08) / (28) = 6.79 m / s ^ 2

A composite wall separates combustion gases at 2400°C from a liquid coolant at 100°C, with gas and liquid-side convection coeffi

evablogger [386]

Answer:

$\text{heat loss} = 24864.05 \ W/m^2$

Explanation:

If

$T_1$ , $T_2$ are temperatures of gasses and liquid in Kelvins,

$t_1$ and $t_2$ are thicknesses of gas layer and steel slab in meters,
$h_1$ , $h_2$ are convection coefficients gas and liquid in $W/m^2 \cdot K$ ,
$R_c$ is the contact resistance in $m^2 \cdot K/W$ ,

and $k_1, k_2$ are thermal conductivities of gas and steel in $W/m \cdot K$ ,

then: part(a):

$\text{heat loss } = \frac{T_1 - T_2} { \frac{1}{h_1} + \frac{t_1}{t_2} + R_c + \frac{t_2}{k_2} + \frac{1}{h_2}}$

using known values:

$\text {heat loss} = 2486.05 W/m^2$

part(b): Using the rate equation :

$\text {heat loss} = h_1 (T_1 - T_{s1})$

the surface temperature $T_{s1} = 1678.438 \ K$

and $T_{c1} = T_{s1} - \frac {t_1 (\text{heat loss})}{k_1} = 1664.560 \ K$

Similarly

$T_{c2} = T_{c1} - R_c (\text{heat loss}) = 421.357 \ K$

$T_{s2} = T_{c2} - \frac {t_2 (\text{heat loss})}{ k_2} = 397.864 \ K$

Water is a colorless and odorless liquid. It can exist in solid, liquid, and gas states. It boils at 100 degrees C and melts at

BARSIC [14]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties in which there is no change in chemical composition of a substance. On the other hand, chemical properties are the properties which change the chemical composition of a substance.

For example, when water boils at $100 ^{o}C$ then it changes into vapor state whereas when water freezes at $0^{0}C$ then it changes state from liquid to solid.

This means only physical state of water is changing and there is no change in chemical composition of water.

Hence, we can conclude that best option describing given information is that these are the physical changes water undergoes.

A block of mass m is pushed up against a spring with spring constant k until the spring has been compressed a distance x from eq

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Spring is compressed to a distance of x from its equilibrium position

Work done by block on the spring is equal to change in elastic potential energy

i.e. Work done by block $W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

therefore spring will also done an equal opposite amount of work on the block in the absence of external force

Thus work done by spring on the block $W=-\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

Thus option d is correct

If you were to triple the size of the Earth (R = 3R⊕) and double the mass of the Earth (M = 2M⊕), how much would it change the g

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

$F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}$

where $G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2$ is the gravitational constant on Earth. $M_1, M_2$ are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.

So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}}{G\frac{M_1m_2}{r^2}}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{\frac{M_2}{R^2}}{\frac{m_2}{r^2}}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{R^2}\frac{r^2}{m_2}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{m_2}(\frac{r}{R})^2$

Since $M_2 = 2m_2$ and $r = R/3$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{2}{3^2} = 2/9 = 1/4.5$

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5

A wave has a frequency of 15,500 Hz and a wavelength of 0.20 m. What is the

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

3100 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the wave equation:

$v=f\lambda$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem,

f = 15,500 Hz

$\lambda=0.20 m$

Therefore, the wave speed is

$v=(15500)(0.20)=3100 m/s$
