a 4357 kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a 36.5 m high track. determine the speed of the car at the top of a
andrey2020 [161]
The correct answer is 17.24 m/s. You get the answer by subtracting the two heights of the tracks which are 36.5 and 10.8 m, and the answer is 25.7. Since you already know the height at which the kinetic energy will be coming from, you then divide the amount of weight the roller coaster has to the distance it needs to travel in order for you to determine the speed of the car. So that is, 4,357 kg and 25.7 m and the answer is 169 kg/m. Dividing it to the earth's gravity of 9.8 m/s you'll get 17.24 m/s.

Steam undergoes an adiabatic expansion in a piston–cylinder assembly from 100 bar, 360°C to 1 bar, 160°C. What is work in kJ per
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

work is 130.5 kJ/kg

entropy change is 1.655 kJ/kg-k

maximum  theoretical work is 689.4 kJ/kg

Explanation:

piston cylinder assembly

100 bar, 360°C to 1 bar, 160°C

to find out

work  and amount of entropy  and magnitude

solution

first we calculate work i.e heat transfer - work =   specific internal energy @1 bar, 160°C  - specific internal energy @ 100 bar, 360°C    .................1

so first we get some value from steam table with the help of 100 bar @360°C and  1 bar @ 160°C

specific volume = 0.0233 m³/kg

specific enthalpy = 2961 kJ/kg

specific internal energy = 2728 kJ/kg

specific entropy = 6.004 kJ/kg-k

and respectively

specific volume = 1.9838 m³/kg

specific enthalpy = 2795.8 kJ/kg

specific internal energy = 2597.5 kJ/kg

specific entropy = 7.659 kJ/kg-k

now from equation 1 we know heat transfer q = 0

so - w =   specific internal energy @1 bar, 160°C  - specific internal energy @ 100 bar, 360°C

work = 2728 - 2597.5

work is 130.5 kJ/kg

and entropy change formula is i.e.

entropy change =  specific entropy ( 100 bar @360°C)  - specific entropy ( 1 bar @160°C )

put these value we get

entropy change =  7.659 - 6.004

entropy change is 1.655 kJ/kg-k

and we know maximum  theoretical work = isentropic work

from steam table we know specific internal energy is 2038.3 kJ/kg

maximum  theoretical work = specific internal energy - 2038.3

maximum  theoretical work = 2728 - 2038.3

maximum  theoretical work is 689.4 kJ/kg

Suppose a rectangular piece of aluminum has a length D, and its square cross section has the dimensions W XW, where D (W x W) to
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

R₂ / R₁ = D / L

Explanation:

The resistance of a metal is

        R = ρ L / A

Where ρ is the resistivity of aluminum, L is the length of the resistance and A its cross section

We apply this formal to both configurations

Small face measurements (W W)

The length is

         L = W

Area  

         A = W W = W²

        R₁ = ρ W / W² = ρ / W

Large face measurements (D L)

       Length L = D= 2W

       Area     A = W L

     R₂ = ρ D / WL = ρ 2W / W L = 2 ρ/L

The relationship is

    R₂ / R₁ = 2W²/L

Recall that weight is a force and is equal to m*g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity exerted by the Earth near the Eart
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

145.43 N

Explanation:

Weight is given by (mg)

where m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

mass is constant everywhere and is equal to 77.1 kg, both on the earth and on the moon.

But the acceleration due to gravity exerted by the moon near the moon's surface is 16.6% that of Earth,

g(moon) = 0.166 g(earth) = 0.166 × 9.8 = 1.6268 m/s²

Weight on the moon = mg(moon) = (77.1×1.6268) = 125.43 N
