In 1923, the United States Army (there was no U.S. Air Force at that time) set a record for in-flight refueling of airplanes. Us

ing two refueling planes, an Airco DH-4B biplane was able to remain in flight for 37 hours. During the flight, the refueling planes were able to air-transfer a total of 687 gallons of fuel to the plane in 9 refueling transfers. Assume that the refueling nozzle had a diameter of 1.45 inches and each refueling took 2.31 minutes to perform. Calculate the velocity of the fuel through the nozzle. Assume that the fuel filled the entire cross-sectional area of the nozzle..

Answer:

1.95m/s

Explanation:

Please view the attached file for the detailed solution.

The following were the conversion factors used in order to express all quatities in SI units:

1 gallon=0.00378541m^3\\1 inch=0.0254m\\1 minute=60s

A common carnival ride, called a gravitron, is a large r = 11 m cylinder in which people stand against the outer wall. the cylin
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

 v = 13.19 m / s

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using Newton's second law, we create a reference system where the x-axis is perpendicular to the cylinder and the Y-axis is vertical

 

X axis

       N = m a

Centripetal acceleration is

       a = v² / r

Y Axis

      fr -W = 0

      fr = W

The force of friction is

     fr = μ N

Let's calculate

    μ (m v² / r) = mg

   μ v² / r = g

   v² = g r / μ

   v = √ (g r /μ)

   v = √ (9.8 11 / 0.62)

   v = 13.19 m / s

Juan is standing on the street. An ambulance moves toward him and then passes by. What best describes the pitch that Juan hears?
ozzi

Answer: The correct answer is "the pitch drops to a lower pitch once the ambulance passes by Juan".

Explanation:

Doppler effect is the phenomenon in which there is an increase or decrease in the frequency when there is relative motion between the source and listener.

Pitch depends on the frequency. if the frequency increases then pitch increases.

When the source and the listener are moving towards each other then there is increase in the frequency. When the source and the listener are moving away each other then there is decrease in the frequency.

In the given problem, Juan is standing on the street. An ambulance moves toward him and then passes by the pitch drops to a lower pitch once the ambulance passes by Juan.

Jenny and Alyssa are members of the cross-country team. On a training run, Jenny starts off and runs at a constant 3.8 m/s. Alys
guapka [62]

Answer:

285 seconds

Explanation:

Jenny speed is 3.8 m/s

Alyssa speed in 4.0 m/s

Alyssa starts after 15 seconds

Find the distance covered by Jenny, when Alyssa starts

Distance=Speed*time

Distance covered by Jenny in 15 seconds= 3.8×15=57m

Relative speed of the two members heading same direction will be;

4.0m/s-3.8m/s=0.2m/s

To find the time Alyssa catch up with Jenny you divide the distance to be covered by Alyssa by the relative speed of the two

Distance=57m, relative speed=0.2m/s  t=57/0.2 =285 seconds

=4.75 minutes

Water is boiled at 300 kPa pressure in a pressure cooker. The cooker initially contains 3 kg of water. Once boiling started, it
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The average rate of energy transfer to the cooker is 1.80 kW.

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure of boiled water = 300 kPa

Mass of water = 3 kg

Time = 30 min

Dryness friction of water = 0.5

Suppose, what is the average rate of energy transfer to the cooker?

We know that,

The specific enthalpy of evaporate at 300 kPa pressure

h_{f}=561.47\ kJ/kg

h_{fg}=2163.8\ kJ/kg

We need to calculate the enthalpy of water at initial state

h_{1}=h_{f}

h_{1}=561.47\ kJ/kg

We need to calculate the enthalpy of water at final state

Using formula of enthalpy

h_{2}=h_{f}+xh_{fg}

Put the value into the formula

h_{2}=561.47+0.5\times2163.8

h_{2}=1643.37\ kJ/kg

We need to calculate the rate of energy transfer to the cooker

Using formula of rate of energy

Q=\dfrac{m(h_{2}-h_{1})}{t}

Put the value into the formula

Q=\dfrac{3\times(1643.37-561.47)}{30\times60}

Q=1.80\ kW

Hence, The average rate of energy transfer to the cooker is 1.80 kW.
