Answer:

Mass of gold = mass of iron

weight of gold = weight of iron

volume of gold is less than the volume of iron

Explanation:

mass of gold = 1 pound

mass of iron = 1 pound

Mass of both the metals is same.

Weight is equal to the product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity. As acceleration due to gravity is same for both the metals so the weight of both the metals is same.

As the density of iron is less than the density of gold and we know that the volume is defined as the ratio of mass to the density.

mass is same for both the metals, so the volume of iron is more than the density of gold.

Mass of gold = mass of iron

weight of gold = weight of iron

volume of gold is less than the volume of iron

An astronaut is in equilibrium when he is positioned 140 km from the center of asteroid C and 581 km from the center of asteroid

tekilochka [14]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

Distance of astronaut From asteroid x is $r_x=140 km$

Distance of astronaut From asteroid Y is $r_y=581 km$

Suppose M,M_x,M_y be the masses of Astronaut , asteroid X and Y

If the astronaut is in equilibrium then net gravitational force on it is zero

$F_x=F_y$

$\frac{GMM_x}{r_x^2}=\frac{GMM_y}{r_y^2}$

cancel out the common terms we get

$\frac{M_x}{r_x^2}=\frac{M_y}{r_y^2}$

$\frac{M_x}{M_y}=(\frac{r_x}{r_y})^2$

$\frac{M_x}{M_y}=(\frac{140}{581})^2$

$\frac{M_x}{M_y}=0.05806\approx 0.0581$

A 6.0 kg box slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 39° with the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic frictio

dlinn [17]

Answer:

a = 4.72 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

mass of the box (m)= 6 Kg

angle of inclination (θ) = 39°

coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.19

magnitude of acceleration = ?

box is sliding downward so,

F - f = m a

f is the friction force

m g sinθ - μ N = ma

m g sinθ - μ m g cos θ = ma

a = g sinθ - μ g cos θ

a = 9.8 x sin 39° - 0.19 x 9.8 x cos 39°

a = 4.72 m/s²

the magnitude of acceleration of the box down the slope is a = 4.72 m/s²

Th e heat capacity of air is much smaller than that of water, and relatively modest amounts of heat are needed to change its tem

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Q=1005 J

t= 0.67 sec

Explanation:

Lets take condition of room is 1 atm and 25°C.

Heat capacity ,c = 21 J /K.mol

If we assume that air is ideal gas that

P V = n R T

$V= 5.5\times 6.5\times 3\ m^3$

$V=107.25\ m^3$

$V=107.25\times 1000 L$

V= 107250 L

At STP number of moles given as

$n=\dfrac{V}{V_{at\ S.T.P.}}$

V=22.4 L at S.T.P.

$n=\dfrac{107250}{22.4}\ moles$

n=4787.94 moles

n= 4.784 Kmoles

So heat required to raise 10°C temperature

Q = n x c x ΔT

Q = 4.78794 x 21 x 10

Q=1004.64 J

Time t

t= Q/P

P= 1.5 KW

t = 1.004.64 /1.5

t= 0.66 sec

Ugo [173]

Answer:

a. 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa

b. 8.19 x 10 ⁻¹¹ atm

c. 1.65 x 10 ⁻¹⁰ atm

d. 2.778 x 10 ⁻¹⁴ kg / m²

Explanation:

Given:

I = 2500 W / m² , us = 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m /s

P rad = I / us

P rad = 2500 W / m² / 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m/s

P rad = 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa

P rad = 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa *[ 9.8 x 10 ⁻⁶ atm / 1 Pa ]

P rad = 8.19 x 10 ⁻¹¹ atm

P rad = 2 * I / us = ( 2 * 2500 w / m²) / [ 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m /s ]

P rad = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁵ Pa

P₁ = 1.013 x 10 ⁵ Pa /atm

P rad = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁵ Pa / 1.013 x 10 ⁵ Pa /atm = 1.65 x 10 ⁻¹⁰ atm

P rad = I / us

ΔP / Δt = I / C² = [ 2500 w / m² ] / ( 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m/s)²

ΔP / Δt = 2.778 x 10 ⁻¹⁴ kg / m²
