Answer:

no of revolutions  = 56.62 rev

Explanation:

given data

rotates = 1560 rpm

travels distance = 18.5 meters

speed = 40.2 m/s

solution

first we convert here rev/min to rev/sec

rotates = 1560 rpm = 1560  × 0.0167 = 26.052 rev/sec

we get here no of revolutions that is

no of revolutions = spin rotate ÷ time    ..........1

here time = distance ÷ speed

time = 18.5 ÷  40.2  

time = 0.4601 s

put value in equation 1 we get

no of revolutions = \frac{26.052}{0.4601}  

no of revolutions  = 56.62 rev

A car hits another and the two bumpers lock together during the collision. is this an elastic or inelastic collision?
valkas [14]
Inelastic.
If it was elastic, they'd bump right off each other. But since they've been locked, or stuck together, this is inelastic.

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.

If you accidentally touch the "hot" wire connected to the 120 V line, how much current will pass through your body?
Sav [38]
<h2>Complete Question:</h2>

You are on an aluminum ladder that is standing on the ground, trying to fix an electrical connection with a metal screwdriver having a metal handle. Your body is wet because you are sweating from the exertion; therefore, it has a resistance of 1.60 kΩ .

(a) If you accidentally touch the "hot" wire connected to the 120 V line, how much current will pass through your body?

(b) How much electrical power is delivered to your body?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 0.075A

(b) 9W

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The voltage (V) passing across or supplied to a body is directly proportional to the current (I) flowing through the body as stated by Ohm's law. i.e

V ∝ I

=> V = I x R                 ----------------------(i)

Where;

R = constant of proportionality called resistance of the body

(a) As stated in the question;

The body is wet and thus will conduct electricity and has the following;

V = voltage supplied = 120V

R = resistance of the wet body = 1.60kΩ = 1.6 x 1000Ω = 1600Ω

Substitute these values into equation(i) as follows;

120 = I x 1600

Solve for I;

I = \frac{120}{1600}

I = 0.075A

Therefore the amount of current that will pass through your body is 0.075A

(b) Electrical power(P), which is commonly measured in Watts(W), delivered to a body is the product of the current(I) and voltage (V) supplied to the body. i.e

P = I x V           ---------------------(ii)

Where;

I = 0.075A   [as calculated above]

V = 120V     [given in the question]

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

P = 0.075 x 120

P = 9W

Therefore, the electric power delivered to your body is 9W

A mass is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal circle with a constant angular speed. show answer No Attempt If this speed
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is quadrupled i.e. increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the centripetal force. This force is given by

F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

It follows that F \propto v^2, provided m and r are constant.

When v is doubled, the new force, F_1, is

F_1 = \dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r} = \dfrac{4mv^2}{r} = 4\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = 4F

Hence, the tension in the string is quadrupled.
