Answer:

B. 1 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversions:

0.3 km = 300m

5 minutes = 5*60 = 300 seconds

So if a seal can reach a depth of 300m in a time of 300 seconds, its diving speed is the distance divided by time duration

v = s/t = 300/300 = 1m/s

So B is the correct answer

You slip a wrench over a bolt. Taking the origin at the bolt, the other end of the wrench is at x=18cm, y=5.5cm. You apply a for
mart [117]

Answer:

The torque on the wrench is 4.188 Nm

Explanation:

Let r = xi + yj where is the distance of the applied force to the origin.

Since x = 18 cm = 0.18 cm and y = 5.5 cm = 0.055 cm,

r = 0.18i + 0.055j

The applied force f = 88i - 23j

The torque τ = r × F

So, τ = r × F = (0.18i + 0.055j) × (88i - 23j) = 0.18i × 88i + 0.18i × -23j + 0.055j × 88i + 0.055j × -23j

= (0.18 × 88)i × i + (0.18 × -23)i × j + (0.055 × 88)j × i + (0.055 × -22)j × j  

= (0.18 × 88) × 0 + (0.18 × -23) × k + (0.055 × 88) × (-k) + (0.055 × -22) × 0   since i × i = 0, j × j = 0, i × j = k and j × i = -k

= 0 - 4.14k + 0.0484(-k) + 0

= -4.14k - 0.0484k

= -4.1884k Nm

≅ -4.188k Nm

So, the torque on the wrench is 4.188 Nm

ollegr [7]
The displacement is the shortest distance between two points, which is 546.41. The displacement for both is 546.41 meters

Average velocity of X = (200 + 200 + 200) / 30
Average velocity of X = 20 m/s

Average velocity of Y = 546.41 / 30 = 18.2 m/s

A certain humidifier operates by raising water to the boiling point and then evaporating it. Every minute 30 g of water at 20◦ C
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The value of total energy needed per minute for the humidifier = 77.78 KJ

Explanation:

Total energy per minute the humidifier required = Energy required to heat water to boiling point) + Energy required to convert liquid water into vapor at the boiling point) ----- (1)

Specific heat of water = 4190 \frac{J}{kg k}

The heat of vaporization is =  2256 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Mass = 0.030 kg

Energy needed to heat water to boiling point =  m c ( T_{2} - T_{1} )

Energy needed to heat water to boiling point = 0.030 × 4.19 × (100 - 20)

Energy (E_{1}) = 10.08 KJ

Energy needed to convert liquid water into vapor at the boiling point

E_{2} = 0.030 × 2256 = 67.68 KJ

Thus the total energy needed E =  E_{1} + E_{2}

E = 10.08 + 67.68

E = 77.78 KJ

This is the value of total energy needed per minute for the humidifier.

A real heat engine operates between temperatures tc and th. during a certain time, an amount qc of heat is released to the cold
tino4ka555 [31]

q_{c} = Heat released to cold reservoir

q_{h} = Heat released to hot reservoir

W_{max} = maximum amount of work

t_{c} = temperature of cold reservoir

t_{h} = temperature of hot reservoir

we know that

\frac{q_{c}}{q_{h}}=\frac{t_{c}}{t_{h}}

q_{h} = (\frac{t_{h}}{t_{c}})q_{c}                                eq-1

maximum work is given as

W_{max} = q_{h} - q_{c}

using eq-1

W_{max} =  (\frac{t_{h}}{t_{c}})q_{c} - q_{c}
