Answer:

$2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

The strain is defined as the ratio of change of dimension of an object under a force:

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}$

where

$\Delta L$ is the change in length of the object

$L_0$ is the original length of the object

In this problem, we have $L_0 = 4 m$ and $\Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m$ , therefore the strain is

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Given that

V= 0.06 m³

Cv= 2.5 R= 5/2 R

T₁=500 K

P₁=1 bar

Heat addition = 15000 J

We know that heat addition at constant volume process ( rigid vessel ) given as

Q = n Cv ΔT

We know that

P V = n R T

n=PV/RT

n= (100 x 0.06)(500 x 8.314)

n=1.443 mol

Q = n Cv ΔT

15000 = 1.433 x 2.5 x 8.314 ( T₂-500)

T₂=1000.12 K

We know that at constant volume process

P₂/P₁=T₂/T₁

P₂/1 = 1000.21/500

P₂= 2 bar

Entropy change given as

$\Delta S=nC_P\ln \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}-nR\ln \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}$

Cp-Cv= R

Cp=7/2 R

Now by putting the values

$\Delta S=nC_P\ln \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}-nR\ln \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}$

$\Delta S=1.443\times 3.5\times 8.314\ln \dfrac{1000.21}{500}-1.443\times 8.314\ln \dfrac{2}{1}$

a)ΔS= 20.79 J/K

If the process is adiabatic it means that heat transfer is zero.

ΔS= 20.79 J/K

We know that

$\Delta S_{univ}=\Delta S_{syatem}+\Delta S_{surr}$

Process is adiabatic

$\Delta S_{surr}=0$

$\Delta S_{univ}=\Delta S_{syatem}+\Delta S_{surr}$

$\Delta S_{univ}= 20.79 +0$

$\Delta S_{univ}= 20.79$

dexar [7]

Answer:

$a=5m/s^2$

Explanation:

Aceleration is a change on the velocity of the object in a given time.

For this case: the initial velocity is

$v_{1}=150m/s$

and the final velocity is :

$v_{2}=0 m/s$

so, the change in velocity is:

$\Delta v =v_{2}-v_{1}=0m/s - (-150m/s) = 150 m/s$

and the change in time , according to the problem:

$\Delta t=30s$

So, the aceleration is:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{150m/s}{30s} = 5m/s^2$

Two planes leave wichita at noon. one plane flies east 30 mi/h faster than the other plane, which is flying west. at what time w

scoundrel [369]

You have to take note of the individual directions of the plane. Since one is heading east, and the other is heading west, the planes are heading at opposite directions. So, it means that their distance between each other would be equal to 1,200 miles which accounts for the sum of their individual distances. The equation is as follows:

Total Distance = Distance of slower plane + Distance of faster plane
1,200 miles = st + (30+s)(t)
where
s is the speed of the slower plane and t is the time. Since both are not given, the final answer would just be in terms of s.
1,200 = t(s + 30 + s)
t = 1200/(30+2s)
t = 600/(15+s)

The acceleration is the change of speed/velocity over time. Thus to calculate this you do (V1-V2)/T or (11.2-9.6)/4 or 0.4 m/s^2
