Answer:

75.6J

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem we must use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat required to heat the air is the difference between the energy levels of the air when it enters and when it leaves the body,

Given the above we have the following equation.

Q=(m)(h2)-(m)(h1)

where

m=mass=1.3×10−3kg.

h2= entalpy at 37C

h1= entalpy at -20C

Q=m(h2-h1)

remember that the enthalpy differences for the air can approximate the specific heat multiplied by the temperature difference

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Cp= specific heat of air = 1020 J/kg⋅K

Q=(1.3×10−3)(1020)(37-(-20))=75.6J

Fred wants to summarize mitosis in the cell cycle. Which statement describes mitosis?
salantis [7]
The statement that most accurately describes mitosis simply is <span>that mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself</span>. This is the most basic textbook definition, that is summary, of what the mitosis is.

Among the largest passenger ships currently in use, the Norway has been in service the longest. The Norway is more than 300 m lo
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the ship (m) = 6.9 × 10⁷ kg

Speed of the ship (v) = 33 km/h

First, let us convert the speed from km/h to m/s using the conversion factor.

We know that, 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s

So, 33 km/h = 33\times \frac{5}{18}=9.17\ m/s

Now, we know, the momentum of an object only depends on its mass and speed. Momentum is independent of the length of the object.

So, here, length of the ship doesn't play any role in the determination of the momentum.

Magnitude of momentum of the ship = Mass × Speed

                                                             = (6.9\times 10^7\ kg)(9.17\ m/s)

                                                             = 6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of ship's momentum is 6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s.

Simora [160]
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 28-kg particle exerts a gravitational force of 8.3 x 10^-9 N on a particle of mass m, which is 3.2 m away. What is m? A) 140 k
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Mass of another particle, m = 46 kg  

Explanation:

it is given that,

Mass of first particle, m₁ = 28 kg

Gravitational force, F=8.3\times 10^{-9}\ N

Distance between the particles, d = 3.2 m

We need to find the mass m of another particle. It is given by the formula as follows :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m}{d^2}

m=\dfrac{Fd^2}{Gm_1}

m=\dfrac{8.3\times 10^{-9}\ N\times (3.2\ m)^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 28\ kg}

m = 45.5 kg

or

m = 46 kg

So, the correct option is (d) "46 kg". Hence, this is the required solution.
