A heat recovery system​ (HRS) is used to conserve heat from the surroundings and supply it to the Mars Rover. The HRS fluid loop

s use Freon as the working fluid. The instrumentation must be kept as a temperature greater than negative 65 degrees Fahrenheit​ [°F] to avoid damage. The temperature in the area of Mars where the rover is exploring is 192 kelvins​ [K]. If the system must remove 46.9 British Thermal Units​ [BTU] of​ energy, what volume of Freon is needed in units of liters​ [L]?

Answer: Volume of Freon = 12.23.10^{3}L

Explanation: First, the temperatures have to be in the same unit, so all the tmeperatures is transformed into Kelvin:

T₁ = 192K

T₂ = \frac{5}{9}. (F - 32)+273.15

T₂ = \frac{5}{9}. (- 65 - 32)+273.15

T₂ = 219.26K.

Second, BTU is an unit of energy. It can be transformed into Joules by the relation 1BTU = 1055.06J.

Q = 1055.06 . 46.9 = 49482.314J

The letter Q represents Heat and is calculated as Q = m.Cp.ΔT, where:

m is mass of the element;

Cp is the heat capacity specific for each element;

ΔT is the difference between the final and initial temperature;

Third, it will be needed the properties of the Freon:

Freon (CF2Cl2) = 120.91g/mol; Cp = 74J/mol.K; ρ = 1.49kg/m³

Fourth, we calculate the mass of Freon necessary for the remove of 46.9BTU of energy from the system:

Q = m.Cp.ΔT

m=\frac{Q}{c(T-T_{0} )}

m = \frac{49482.314}{74(219.26-192)}

m = 18228.214g or m=18.228Kg

Fifth, using the density of Freon, Volume can be found

ρ = \frac{m}{V}

V = m / ρ

V = 18.228 / 1.49

V = 12.23m³

As SI for density is Kg/m³, the volume found is in m³.

Cubic meters is related to Liters as the following: 1m³=1000l.

So, volume of Freon = 12.23.10^{3}L

The volume of Freon needed is 12.23.10^{3}L.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

<em>a) 6738.27 J</em>

<em>b) 61.908 J</em>

<em>c)  </em>\frac{4492.18}{v_{car} ^{2} }

<em></em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

A flywheel is a mechanical device used to store rotational kinetic energy for later use. Consider a flywheel in the form of a uniform solid cylinder rotating around its axis, with moment of inertia I = 1/2 mr2.

Part (a) If such a flywheel of radius r1 = 1.1 m and mass m1 = 11 kg can spin at a maximum speed of v = 35 m/s at its rim, calculate the maximum amount of energy, in joules, that this flywheel can store?

Part (b) Consider a scenario in which the flywheel described in part (a) (r1 = 1.1 m, mass m1 = 11 kg, v = 35 m/s at the rim) is spinning freely at its maximum speed, when a second flywheel of radius r2 = 2.8 m and mass m2 = 16 kg is coaxially dropped from rest onto it and sticks to it, so that they then rotate together as a single body. Calculate the energy, in joules, that is now stored in the wheel?

Part (c) Return now to the flywheel of part (a), with mass m1, radius r1, and speed v at its rim. Imagine the flywheel delivers one third of its stored kinetic energy to car, initially at rest, leaving it with a speed vcar. Enter an expression for the mass of the car, in terms of the quantities defined here.

moment of inertia is given as

I = \frac{1}{2}mr^{2}

where m is the mass of the flywheel,

and r is the radius of the flywheel

for the flywheel with radius 1.1 m

and mass 11 kg

moment of inertia will be

I =  \frac{1}{2}*11*1.1^{2} = 6.655 kg-m^2

The maximum speed of the flywheel = 35 m/s

we know that v = ωr

where v is the linear speed = 35 m/s

ω = angular speed

r = radius

therefore,

ω = v/r = 35/1.1 = 31.82 rad/s

maximum rotational energy of the flywheel will be

E = Iw^{2} = 6.655 x 31.82^{2} = <em>6738.27 J</em>

<em></em>

b) second flywheel  has

radius = 2.8 m

mass = 16 kg

moment of inertia is

I = \frac{1}{2}mr^{2} =  \frac{1}{2}*16*2.8^{2} = 62.72 kg-m^2

According to conservation of angular momentum, the total initial angular momentum of the first flywheel, must be equal to the total final angular momentum of the combination two flywheels

for the first flywheel, rotational momentum = Iw = 6.655 x 31.82 = 211.76 kg-m^2-rad/s

for their combination, the rotational momentum is

(I_{1} +I_{2} )w

where the subscripts 1 and 2 indicates the values first and second  flywheels

(I_{1} +I_{2} )w = (6.655 + 62.72)ω

where ω here is their final angular momentum together

==> 69.375ω

Equating the two rotational momenta, we have

211.76 = 69.375ω

ω = 211.76/69.375 = 3.05 rad/s

Therefore, the energy stored in the first flywheel in this situation is

E = Iw^{2} = 6.655 x 3.05^{2} = <em>61.908 J</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

c) one third of the initial energy of the flywheel is

6738.27/3 = 2246.09 J

For the car, the kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv_{car} ^{2}

where m is the mass of the car

v_{car} is the velocity of the car

Equating the energy

2246.09 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_{car} ^{2}

making m the subject of the formula

mass of the car m = \frac{4492.18}{v_{car} ^{2} }

A 900-kg car traveling east at 15.0 m/s collides with a 750-kg car traveling north at 20.0 m/s. The cars stick together. Assume
dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car 1, m_1=900\ kg

Initial speed of car 1, u_1=15i\ m/s (east)

Mass of the car 2, m_2=750\ kg

Initial speed of car 2, u_1=20j\ m/s (north)

(b) As the cars stick together. It is a case of inelastic collision. Let V is the common speed after the collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

900\times 15i +750\times 20j=(900+750)V

13500i+15000j=1650V

V=(8.18i+9.09j)\ m/s

The magnitude of speed,

|V|=\sqrt{8.18^2+9.09^2}

V = 12.22 m/s

(b) Let \theta is the direction the wreckage move just after the collision. It is given by :

tan\theta=\dfrac{v_y}{v_x}

tan\theta=\dfrac{9.09}{8.18}

\theta=48.01^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

A ship 1200m off shore fires a gun. how long after the gun is fired will it be heard on the shore?​
ryzh [129]

Answer:

We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air

we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore

From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

since the acceleration of sound is 0:

s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²

s = ut    <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>

Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know

1200 = 343 * t

t = 1200 / 343

t = 3.5 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired
