Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

Air at 3 104 kg/s and 27 C enters a rectangular duct that is 1m long and 4mm 16 mm on a side. A uniform heat flux of 600 W/m2 is
ad-work [718]

Answer:

T_{out}=27.0000077 ºC

Explanation:

First, let's write the energy balance over the duct:

H_{out}=H_{in}+Q

It says that the energy that goes out from the duct (which is in enthalpy of the mass flow) must be equals to the energy that enters in the same way plus the heat that is added to the air. Decompose the enthalpies to the mass flow and specific enthalpies:

m*h_{out}=m*h_{in}+Q\\m*(h_{out}-h_{in})=Q

The enthalpy change can be calculated as Cp multiplied by the difference of temperature because it is supposed that the pressure drop is not significant.

m*Cp(T_{out}-T_{in})=Q

So, let's isolate T_{out}:

T_{out}-T_{in}=\frac{Q}{m*Cp}\\T_{out}=T_{in}+\frac{Q}{m*Cp}

The Cp of the air at 27ºC is 1007\frac{J}{kgK} (Taken from Keenan, Chao, Keyes, “Gas Tables”, Wiley, 1985.); and the only two unknown are T_{out} and Q.

Q can be found knowing that the heat flux is 600W/m2, which is a rate of heat to transfer area; so if we know the transfer area, we could know the heat added.

The heat transfer area is the inner surface area of the duct, which can be found as the perimeter of the cross section multiplied by the length of the duct:

Perimeter:

P=2*H+2*A=2*0.004m+2*0.016m=0.04m

Surface area:

A=P*L=0.04m*1m=0.04m^2

Then, the heat Q is:

600\frac{W}{m^2} *0.04m^2=24W

Finally, find the exit temperature:

T_{out}=T_{in}+\frac{Q}{m*Cp}\\T_{out}=27+\frac{24W}{3104\frac{kg}{s} *1007\frac{J}{kgK} }\\T_{out}=27.0000077

T_{out}=27.0000077 ºC

The temperature change so little because:

  • The mass flow is so big compared to the heat flux.
  • The transfer area is so little, a bigger length would be required.

If a 20.0 g object at a temperature of 35.0∘C has a specific heat of 2.89Jg∘C, and it releases 450. J into the atmosphere, what
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The final temperature of the object will be 42.785 °C

Explanation:

When the heat added or removed from a substance causes a change in temperature in it, this heat is called sensible heat.

In other words, sensible heat is the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change), so that the temperature varies.

The equation for calculating the heat exchanges in this case is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, constituted by a substance of specific heat c and where ΔT is the variation in temperature.

In this case:

  • Q= 450 J
  • c= 2.89 \frac{J}{g*C}
  • m= 20 g
  • ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= Tfinal - 35 °C

Replacing:

450 J= 2.89 \frac{J}{g*C} *20 g* (Tfinal - 35°C)

Solving for Tfinal:

\frac{450 J}{2.89\frac{J}{g*C}*20g} =Tfinal -35C

7.785 °C=Tfinal - 35°C

7.785 °C + 35°C= Tfinal

42.785 °C=Tfinal

<u><em>The final temperature of the object will be 42.785 °C</em></u>

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Two marbles are launched at t = 0 in the experiment illustrated in the figure below. Marble 1 is launched horizontally with a speed of 4.20 m/s from a height h = 0.950 m. Marble 2 is launched from ground level with a speed of 5.94 m/s at an angle above the horizontal. (a) Where would the marbles collide in the absence of gravity? Give the x and y coordinates of the collision point. (b) Where do the marbles collide given that gravity produces a downward acceleration of g = 9.81 m/s2? Give the x and y coordinates.

A metal sphere with radius R1 has a charge Q1. Take the electric potential to be zero at an infinite distance from the sphere.Ex
amid [387]

Answer:

E =   k*Q₁/R₁² V/m

V =  k*Q₁/R₁ Volt

Explanation:

Given:

- Charge distributed on the sphere is Q₁

- The radius of sphere is R₁

- The electric potential at infinity is 0

Find:

What is the electric field at the surface of the sphere?E.

What is the electric potential at the surface of the sphere?V

Solution:

- The 3 dimensional space around a charge(source) in which its effects is felt is known in the electric field.

- The strength at any point inside the electric field is defined by the force experienced by a unit positive charge placed at that point.  

- If a unit positive charge is placed at the surface it experiences a force according to the Coulomb law is given by

                                        F = k*Q₁/R₁²

- Then the electric field at that point is

                                        E =  F/1

                                        E =  k*Q₁/R₁²  V/m

- The electric potential at a point is defined as the amount of work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to that point against electric forces.

- Thus, the electric potential at the surface of the sphere of radius R₁ and charge distribution Q₁ is given by the relation

                                        V =  k*Q₁/R₁  Volt
