Car A leaves town heading east with a constant speed of 20 miles/hr. An hour later Car B leaves town heading east as well, with

Car B will intercept Car A in 4 hours after Car B left the town. There is a 5 mile/hour difference between Car A and Car B velocity and Car B has more velocity than Car A. This difference shows Car B's ability to intercept Car A in a specified amount of time. In first 1 hour, Car A already traveled for 20 miles and Car B need 4 hours (=20/5) to close that distance gap for intercepting Car A<span>.</span>

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: Thermal comductivity (K) is 3.964x 10 ^-3 W/m.k

Explanation:

Thermal comductivity K = QL/A∆T

Q= Amount of heat transferred through the material in watts = 75W

L= Distance between two isothermal planes = 0.740mm

A= Area of the surface in square metres = 2m^2

∆T= Temperature change = (37-30) °C.

Solving this : K =( 75 x 0.740 x 10^-3)/ 2 x (37-30)

K = 3.964x 10 ^-3 W/m.k

Question 8 (4 points)
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Data

Duane                                          Albert

d = 5 m ;  v = 3 m/s                     v = 4.2 m/s

a)                                                b)

Duane's                                      Albert's

d = 5 + (3)t                                  d = 4.2t

d = 5 + 3t

c)                            5 + 3t = 4.2t

                              4.2t - 3t = 5

                                      1.2t = 5

                                           t = 4.17 s

d)

Duane's

d= 5 + 3(4.17)

d = 17.51 m

Alberts

d = 4.2(4.17)

d = 17.51 m

A siphon pumps water from a large reservoir to a lower tank that is initially empty. The tank also has a rounded orifice 20 ft b
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

height of the water rise in tank is 10ft

Explanation:

Apply the bernoulli's equation between the reservoir surface (1) and siphon exit (2)

\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{V^2_1}{2g} + z_1= \frac{P_2}{pg} + \frac{V_2^2}{2g} +z_2

\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{V^2_1}{2g} +( z_1-z_2)= \frac{P_2}{pg} + \frac{V_2^2}{2g}-------(1)

substitute P_a_t_m for P_1, (P_a_t_m +pgh) for P_2

0ft/s for V₁, 20ft for (z₁ - z₂) and 32.2ft/s² for g in eqn (1)

\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{V^2_1}{2g} +( z_1-z_2)= \frac{P_2}{pg} + \frac{V_2^2}{2g}

\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{0^2_1}{2g} +( 20)= \frac{(P_a_t_m+pgh)}{pg} +\frac{V^2_2}{2\times32.2} \\\\V_2 = \sqrt{64.4(20-h)}

Applying bernoulli's equation between tank surface (3) and orifice exit (4)

\frac{P_3}{pg} + \frac{V^2_3}{2g} + z_3= \frac{P_4}{pg} + \frac{V_4^2}{2g} +z_4

substitute

P_a_t_m for P_3, P_a_t_m for P_4

0ft/s for V₃, h for z₃, 0ft for z₄, 32,2ft/s² for g

\frac{P_a_t_m}{pg} + \frac{0^2}{2g} +h=\frac{P_a_t_m}{pg} + \frac{V_4^2}{2\times32.2} +0\\\\V_4 =\sqrt{64.4h}

At equillibrium Fow rate at point 2 is equal to flow rate at point 4

Q₂ = Q₄

A₂V₂ = A₃V₃

The diameter of the orifice and the siphon are equal , hence there area should be the same

substitute A₂ for A₃

\sqrt{64.4(20-h)} for V₂

\sqrt{64.4h} for V₄

A₂V₂ = A₃V₃

A_2\sqrt{64.4(20-h)} = A_2\sqrt{64.4h}\\\\20-h=h\\\\h= 10ft

Therefore ,height of the water rise in tank is 10ft

You are piloting a helicopter which is rising vertically at a uniform velocity of 14.70 m/s. When you reach 196.00 m, you see Ba
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The ball reaches Barney  head in  t = 8 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The rise velocity is  v  =  14.70 \  m/s

  The height considered is h =  196 \  m

   The horizontal velocity of the large object is  v_h  =  8.50 \  m/s

   

Generally from kinematic equation  

   s = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Here s is the distance of the object from Barney head ,

        u is the velocity of the object along the vertical axis which is equal but opposite to the velocity of the helicopter

So  

     u = -14.7 m/s

So

    196  = -14.7 t  + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * t^2

=  4.9 t^2 - 14.7t - 196 = 0

Solving the above equation using quadratic formula  

    The value of  t obtained is  t = 8 \ s
