<span>Because potential energy equals weight times height, we can find the weight by pluggin in the numbers. 10,000 j is equal to 5 m times the weight. By using basic algebra we find that the weight is 2,000 newtons.</span>

The Palo Verde nuclear power generator of Arizona has three reactors that have a combined generating capacity of 3.937×109 W . H
den301095 [7]

Answer:

t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years

Explanation:

First we need to find the amount of energy that Sun produce in one day.

Energy = Power * Time

Energy of Sun in 1 day = (3.839 x 10²⁶ W)(1 day)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

Energy of Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J

Now, the time required by the nuclear power generator, in years, will be:

Energy of power generator = Energy Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J

3.32 x 10³¹ J = Power * Time

3.32 x 10³¹ J = (3.937 x 10⁹ W)(t years)(365 days/1 year)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

t = 3.32 x 10³¹ /1.24 x 10¹⁷

<u>t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years</u>

A radioactive source has a half life of 80s.
Burka [1]
Lets make the original number of nuclides at the start is 100.

If 7/8 of 100 is decayed, that means 87.5 decayed.

\frac{7}{8} \times 100 = 87.5

And there is 1/8 left of the number of nuclide 100. Which is 12.5

100 - 87.5 =12.5

\frac{1}{8} \times 100 = 12.5

How many Half lifes passed for 100 to become 12.5 is 3 Half-Lives.

100 \div 2 \div 2 \div 2 = 12.5

Each Half-Life is 80 seconds so there is 240 seconds

3 \times 80 = 240The answer is that it takes 240 seconds.

Water at 20°C flows by gravity through a smooth pipe from one reservoir to a lower one. The elevation difference is 60 m. The pi
Serga [27]

Answer:

Flow Rate = 80 m^3 /hours  (Rounded to the nearest whole number)

Explanation:

Given

  • Hf = head loss
  • f = friction factor
  • L = Length of the pipe = 360 m
  • V = Flow velocity, m/s
  • D = Pipe diameter = 0.12 m
  • g = Gravitational acceleration, m/s^2
  • Re = Reynolds's Number
  • rho = Density =998 kg/m^3
  • μ = Viscosity = 0.001 kg/m-s
  • Z = Elevation Difference = 60 m

Calculations

Moody friction loss in the pipe = Hf = (f*L*V^2)/(2*D*g)

The energy equation for this system will be,

Hp = Z + Hf

The other three equations to solve the above equations are:

Re = (rho*V*D)/ μ

Flow Rate, Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Power = 15000 W = rho*g*Q*Hp

1/f^0.5 = 2*log ((Re*f^0.5)/2.51)

We can iterate the 5 equations to find f and solve them to find the values of:

Re = 235000

f = 0.015

V = 1.97 m/s

And use them to find the flow rate,

Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Q = (1.97)*(pi/4)*(0.12)^2 = 0.022 m^3/s = 80 m^3 /hours

Blood can carry excess energy from the interior to the surface of the body, where the energy is dispersed in a number of ways. W
stepladder [879]

Answer:

T = 36.2 ^oC

Explanation:

As we know that heat released is given as

Q = ms \Delta T

here we know that

Q = 2000 J

m = 0.6 kg

s = 4186 J/kg C

now from above equation we have

2000 = 0.6(4186)(37 - T)

2000 = 2511.6 (37 - T)

T = 36.2 ^oC

What is the difference between 107.6 and 103.26 written with the correct number of significant figures?
andrew-mc [135]
Answer: E. 4.34
To answer this question, you need to understand the principle in subtracting number with a decimal. In this question, the lowest decimal number is from 103.26 which was 2 number. Then you need to convert 107.6 into 107.60 so you can subtract it with 103.26. The answer would be:
107.60 - 103.26= 4.34
