Answer:

t = 1.51 hours

Explanation:

given,

Speed of space shuttle. v = 27800 Km/h

Radius of earth, R = 6380 Km

height of shuttle above earth, h = 320 Km

Total radius of the shuttle orbit

r' = R + h

r' = 6380 + 320

r' = 6700 Km

distance, d = 2 π r

d = 2 π x 6700

$time = \dfrac{distance}{speed}$

$time = \dfrac{2\pi\times 6700}{27800}$

t = 1.51 hours

Time require by the shuttle to circle the earth is equal to 1.51 hr.

1. Suppose a tank filled with water has a liquid column with a height of 10 meters. If the area is 2 square meters (m²), what's

Anit [1.1K]

Answers:

1. Firstly, we have to define that Pressure $P$ is Force applied $F$ per unit area $A$ . It is mathematically expressed as follows:

$P=\frac{F}{A}$ (1)

The unit of P is Pascal (Pa) which is equivalent to $\frac{kg}{ms^{2}}$ and also equivalent to $\frac{N}{m^{2} }$

There is also another expression of the Pressure in which it is dependent on the density $d$ of the liquid, the height $h$ of the container and the gravity force $g$ :

$P=d*h*g$ (2)

In this problem the liquid is water, and its known density is approximately:

$d=1000kg/m^{3}$

So, we have to substitute the values in equation (2) to obtain the pressure <u>(Being careful with the units)</u>:

$P=1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}*10m*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$P=98000Pa$

Then, we have to substitute this value in equation (1) and clear $F$ :

$F=P*A$

Finally:

$F=196000N$

2. For this problem, we will use equation (1) to find the Pressure. We already know the area $A$ and the force exerted by water in the container $F$ :

$P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{900N}{3m^{2}}$

$P=300Pa$

3. In this case, equation (2) is the perfect way to find the hydrostatic pressure at any point at the bottom of the tank <u>(be careful with the units):</u>

$P=d*h*g$

$P=1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}*7.5m*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$P=73500Pa$

4. In this case, it's important to know that in fluids (in this case the water) the higher the fluid is, the lower the pressure. Then, if $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ are the respective pressures at the heights $h_{1}$ and $h_{2}$ , and knowing that the water density and the gravity force in this case are constants, we can use the following expression to solve this problem:

$P_{2}- P_{1} =d*g(h_{2}- h_{1})$ (3)

Where:

$P_{1}=1.5 kPa$ at $h_{1}=2m$

Note that $1kPa=1*1000 Pa$

And $P_{2}=?$ is unknown at a given height $h_{2}=6m$

Then, we have to substitute the values in equation (3) to find $P_{2}$ :

$P_{2}-1500Pa=1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} (6m-2m)$

Finally: $P_{2} =40700Pa$

5. In this case we have the area $A=0.75m^{2}$ and the mass of the piston $m=200kg$ , and we need to know the pressure $P$ .

We will use equation (1):

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

But, <u>do you remember that above we stated that pressure is the force applied over an area?</u>

Well, in this case we will use the following equation, in which the gravity force and the mass of a body are involved, to find $F$ :

$F=m*g=200kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Then:

$F=1960N$

Now we can finally calculate $P$ :

$P=\frac{1960N}{0.75m^{2}}$

$P=2613.33Pa$

A machine gear consists of 0.10 kg of iron and 0.16 kg of copper.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

mass of iron = 0.10 kg

mass of copper = 0.16 kg

rise in temperature, ΔT = 35°C

specific heat of iron = 450 J/kg°C

specific heat of copper = 390 J/kg°C

Heat by iron (H1) = mass of iron x specific heat of iron x ΔT

H1 = 0.10 x 450 x 35 = 1575 J

Heat by copper (H2) = mass of copper x specific heat of copper x ΔT

H1 = 0.16 x 390 x 35 = 2184 J

Total heat H = H1 + H2

H = 1575 + 2184 = 3759 J

by rounding off

H = 4000 J

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

155.38424 K

2.2721 kg/m³

Explanation:

$P_1$ = Pressure at reservoir = 10 atm

$T_1$ = Temperature at reservoir = 300 K

$P_2$ = Pressure at exit = 1 atm

$T_2$ = Temperature at exit

$R_s$ = Mass-specific gas constant = 287 J/kgK

$\gamma$ = Specific heat ratio = 1.4 for air

For isentropic flow

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{P_1}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=T_1\times \frac{P_2}{P_1}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=00\times \left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=155.38424\ K$

The temperature of the flow at the exit is 155.38424 K

From the ideal equation density is given by

$\rho_2=\frac{P_2}{R_sT_2}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{1\times 101325}{287\times 155.38424}\\\Rightarrow \rho=2.2721\ kg/m^3$

The density of the flow at the exit is 2.2721 kg/m³
