Answer:

6 s

Explanation:

given,

Sports car accelerate from 0 to 30 mph in 1.5 s

time taken to accelerate  0 to 60 mph = ?

The power of the engine is independent of velocity and neglecting friction

power =

P = constant  

the kinetic energy for 60 mph larger than this of 30 mph

 = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2}

 = \dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}

 = \dfrac{60^2}{30^2}

 = 4

gain in kinetic energy  = P x t

time = 4 x 1.5

       = 6 s

during convection, hot material _____ (expands & sinks, cools & rises, expands & rises, deflates & rises) then m
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

During convection, hot material expands & rises then moves to the side and cools & sinks. this circular pattern is called a convection current.

Explanation:

Convection is one of the three methods of transfer of heat. It occurs only in fluids (liquids or gases).

Convection occurs when there is a source of heat that heats a fluid, such as in a boiling pot of water. The water which is on the bottom of the pot becomes warmer before than the water at the top (because it is closer to the flame), and so it becomes less dense: for this reason, it expands and it becomes rising. On the contrary, the water on top is colder, so it is more dense and starts sinking, replacing the warmer water. As the new part of water gets warmer, it starts rising, and so the process is continuously repeated. This circular current is called convection current.

Water at 20°C flows by gravity through a smooth pipe from one reservoir to a lower one. The elevation difference is 60 m. The pi
Serga [27]

Answer:

Flow Rate = 80 m^3 /hours  (Rounded to the nearest whole number)

Explanation:

Given

  • Hf = head loss
  • f = friction factor
  • L = Length of the pipe = 360 m
  • V = Flow velocity, m/s
  • D = Pipe diameter = 0.12 m
  • g = Gravitational acceleration, m/s^2
  • Re = Reynolds's Number
  • rho = Density =998 kg/m^3
  • μ = Viscosity = 0.001 kg/m-s
  • Z = Elevation Difference = 60 m

Calculations

Moody friction loss in the pipe = Hf = (f*L*V^2)/(2*D*g)

The energy equation for this system will be,

Hp = Z + Hf

The other three equations to solve the above equations are:

Re = (rho*V*D)/ μ

Flow Rate, Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Power = 15000 W = rho*g*Q*Hp

1/f^0.5 = 2*log ((Re*f^0.5)/2.51)

We can iterate the 5 equations to find f and solve them to find the values of:

Re = 235000

f = 0.015

V = 1.97 m/s

And use them to find the flow rate,

Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Q = (1.97)*(pi/4)*(0.12)^2 = 0.022 m^3/s = 80 m^3 /hours

Strong winds can destroy or prevent temperature inversion from forming. which city, des moines, iowa or denver, colorado is more
Paul [167]

Answer: DENVER, COLORADO

Explanation: Temperature inversion is the term used to describe the increase in temperature as the height increases towards the Toposphere, Temperature inversion is a reverse of the normal temperature flow or distribution in the atmosphere.

Denver, Colorado has been known to be one of the Cities of the World where temperature inversion occurs frequently. The TOPOGRAPHY of Denver, Colorado makes it prone to temperature inversion, Denver, Colorado is located at the foot of mountains.

Consider a long, closely wound solenoid with 10,000 turns per meter. What current, in amperes, is needed in the solenoid to prod
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

0.4344A

Explanation:

From Ampere's law, it can be shown that the magnetic field B inside a long solenoid is

B= \mu_0NI

Where

B= Magnetic field strenght at distance d

I= current

\mu_0 =Permeability of free space (4\pi*10^{-7} Tm/A)

N= Number of loops

Our values are defined as follow,

N=10000

B=5.25*10^{-5}T

B'=5.25*10^{-5} * 104 = 5.46*10^{-3}T

As a current required to become 104 times the Earth's magnetic field is required, we use B '

B'= \mu_0NI

5.46*10^{-3}=4\pi*10^{-7}*10000*I

I=\frac{5.46*10^{-3}}{4\pi*10^{-7}*10000}

I=0.4344A

<em>Therefore is needed 0.4344A in the solenoid to produce a magnetic field inside the solenoid, near its center, that is 104 times the Earth's magnetic field.</em>
