Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

tire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

the water behind hoover dam in nevada is 206 m higher than the colorado river below it. at what rate must water pass through the
Nitella [24]

Answer:

the required mass flow rate is 49484.37 kg/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we first determine the relation for mass flow rate of water that passes through the turbine;

so the relation for net work on the turbine due to the change in potential energy considering 100% efficiency is;

W_{net} = m ( Δ P.E )

so we substitute (gh) for ( Δ P.E );

W_{net} = m (gh)

m = W_{net} / gh

so we substitute our given values into the equation

m = 100 MW / ( 9.81 m/s²) × 206 m

m = ( 100 MW × 10⁶W/MW) / ( 9.81 m/s²) × 206 m

m = 10 × 10⁷ / 2020.86

m = 49484.37 kg/s

Therefore, the required mass flow rate is 49484.37 kg/s

Consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/sm/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average rate
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

455165.278 m

Explanation:

P = Power = 3.7 W

v = Velocity = 10.7 m/s

Amount of fat = 4 g

1 gram of fat provides about 9.40 (food) Calories

Energy given by 4 g of fat

E=4\times 9.4\times 4186\\\Rightarrow E=157393.6\ J

Time required to burn the fat

t=\dfrac{E}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{157393.6}{3.7}\\\Rightarrow t=42538.811\ s

Distance traveled by the bird

s=vt\\\Rightarrow s=10.7\times 42538.811\\\Rightarrow s=455165.2777\ m

The bird will fly 455165.278 m

The density of ice is 0.93 g/cm3. what is the volume, in cm3, of a block of ice whose mass is 5.00 kg? remember to select an ans
serious [3.7K]

The Volume of the ice block is 5376.344 cm^3.

The density of a material is define as the mass per unit volume.

Here, the density of ice given is 0.93 g/cm^3

Mass of the ice block  given is 5 kg or 5000 g

Now calculate the volume of the ice block

density=mass/volume

0.93=5000/Volume

Volume =5376.344 cm^3

Therefore the volume of  ice block is 5376.344 cm^3

How much is the moment due to force P about point B. P(unit=N) vector is equal to (150i+260j ) and vector BA (unit=meter) is equ
artcher [175]

Answer:

The moment (torque) is given by the following equation:

\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}\\\vec{r} \times \vec{F} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\^{i}&\^j&\^k\\r_x&r_y&r_z\\F_x&F_y&F_z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\^{i}&\^j&\3k\\0.23&0.04&0\\150&260&0\end{array}\right] = \^k((0.23*260) - (0.04*150)) = \^k (53.8~Nm)

Explanation:

The cross-product between the distance and the force can be calculated using the method of determinant. Since the z-components are zero, it is easy to calculate.
