The acceleration of high-speed aircraft is sometimes expressed in g's (in multiples of the standard acceleration of gravity). determine the upward force, in n, that a 78.03-kg person would experience in an aircraft whose acceleration is 5.05 g's. assume the standard acceleration of gravity is 8.23 m/s^2.

The magnitude of the amount of energy released by burning a fuel source, measured in energy per unit mass, is called its fuel value. note that the fuel value is the negative of the isobaric specific heat of combustion for the fuel. if all the energy obtained from burning 1.23 pounds of butane with a fuel value of 10.85 kcal/g is used to heat 128.0 kg of water at an initial temperature of 18.3 °c, what is the final temperature? note that 1 lb = 453.6 g.

Use the profile illustrated for problem (1). assume that the layer of silty sand fill (sm) is placed over the entire site. estimate the thickness of the fill (h - in feet) that will cause the effective vertical stress at the center of the clay layer to increase by 517.5 pounds per square foot.

He latent heat of vaporization for ethyl alcohol is 854 j/g. the amount of energy, rounded to the nearest whole number, needed to change 5.20 grams of ethyl alcohol from a liquid to a gas is
