Answer:

$2.68\cdot 10^8 MJ$

Explanation:

The power is related to the energy by

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where

P is the power

E is the energy

t is the time elapsed

The power of this nuclear power planet is

$P=3100 MW = 3.1\cdot 10^9 W$

The time we are considering is 1 day, which is

$t = 1 d = 86400 s$

So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the energy produced by the power plant in one day:

$E=Pt =(3.1\cdot 10^9 W)(86400 s)=2.68\cdot 10^{14} J=2.68\cdot 10^8 MJ$

You are driving along a highway at 35.0 m/s when you hear the siren of a police car approaching you from behind at constant spee

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

40.13491 m/s

Explanation:

$v_r$ = My speed = 35 m/s

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 Hz

$v_s$ = Speed of the police car

When the car is approaching

$f=f'\dfrac{v-v_r}{v-v_s}\\\Rightarrow 1340=f'\dfrac{343-35}{343-v_s}$

When the car is receding

$f=f'\dfrac{v+v_r}{v+v_s}\\\Rightarrow 1300=f'\dfrac{343+35}{343+v_s}$

Dividing the equations

$\dfrac{1340}{1300}=\dfrac{f'\dfrac{343-35}{343-v_s}}{f'\dfrac{343+35}{343+v_s}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1340}{1300}=\dfrac{22\left(v_s+343\right)}{27\left(-v_s+343\right)}\\\Rightarrow -36180v_s+12409740-12409740=28600v_s+9809800-12409740\\\Rightarrow \frac{-64780v_s}{-64780}=\frac{-2599940}{-64780}\\\Rightarrow v_s=\frac{129997}{3239}\\\Rightarrow v_s=40.13491\ m/s$

The speed of the police car is 40.13491 m/s

Introduction

As Valentine's Day approaches, we're increasingly confronted with "artistic" images of the heart. Real hearts hardly resemble to two-lobed shapes adorning cards and candy boxes this time of year. And the actual shape of the human heart is important for its function of supplying blood to the entire body. You have likely noticed that your heart beats more quickly when you exercise. But have you ever taken the time to observe how long it takes to return to its normal rate after you're done exercising? In this science activity you'll get to do some exercises to explore your own heart-rate recovery time.

Background

Your heart is continuously beating to keep blood circulating throughout your body. Its rate changes depending on your activity level; it is lower while you are asleep and at rest and higher while you exercise—to supply your muscles with enough freshly oxygenated blood to keep the functioning at a high level. Because your heart is also a muscle, exercise, in turn, helps keep it healthy. The American Heart Association recommends that a person does exercise that is vigorous enough to raise their heart rate to their target heart-rate zone—50 percent to 85 percent of their maximum heart rate, which is 220 beats per minute (bpm) minus their age for adults—for at least 30 minutes on most days, or about 150 minutes a week in total. So for a 20-year-old, the maximum heart rate would be 200 bpm, with a target heart-rate zone of 100 to 170 bpm. (For those 19 or younger, target zones can vary more than they do for adults.)

Two uniform, solid cylinders of radius R and total mass M are connected along their common axis by a short, light rod and rest o

sveta [45]

Explanation:

A) To prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic:

System diagram for given situation is shown in attached Fig. 1

We can prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic if

$a_{x} = -\omega^{2} x$

where aₓ is acceleration when attached cylinders move in horizontal direction:

<h3>PROOF:</h3>

rotational inertia for cylinders is given as:

$I=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}$ -----(1)

Newton's second law for angular motion is:

∑τ = Iα ------(2)

For linear motion in horizontal direction it is:

∑Fₓ = Maₓ ------ (3)

By definition of torque:

τ = RF --------(4)

Put (4) and (1) in (2)

$RF=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\alpha$

from Fig 3 it can be seen that fs is force by which the cylinders roll without slipping as they oscillate

So above equation becomes

$f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}MR\alpha$ ------ (5)

As angular acceleration is related to linear by:

$a= R\alpha$

Eq (5) becomes

$f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}Ma_{x}$ ---- (6)

aₓ shows displacement in horizontal direction

From (3)

∑Fₓ = Maₓ

Fₓ is sum of fs and restoring force that spring exerts:

$\sum F_{x} = f_{s} - kx$ ----(7)

Put (7) in (3)

$f_{s} - kx = Ma_{x}$ [/tex] -----(8)

Using (6) in (8)

$\frac{1}{2}Ma_{x} - kx =Ma_{x}$

$a_{x} = \frac{2k}{3M} x$ --- (9)

For spring mass system

$a= -\omega^{2} x$ ----- (10)

Equating (9) and (10)

$\omega^{2} = \frac{2k}{3M}$

$\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{2k}{3M}}$

then (9) becomes

$a_{x} = - \omega^{2}x$

(The minus sign says that x and aₓ have opposite directions as shown in fig 3)

This proves that the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic.

<h3 /><h3>B) Time Period</h3>

Time period is related to angular frequency as:

$T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega}$

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3M}{2k}$

The Bernoulli equation is valid for steady, inviscid, incompressible flows with a constant acceleration of gravity. Consider flo

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$p+\frac{1}{2}ρV^{2}+ρg_{0}z-\frac{1}{2}ρcz^{2}=constant$

Explanation:

first write the newtons second law:

F $_{s}$ =δma $_{s}$

Applying bernoulli,s equation as follows:

∑ $δp+\frac{1}{2} ρδV^{2} +δγz=0\\$

Where, $δp$ is the pressure change across the streamline and $V$ is the fluid particle velocity

substitute $ρg$ for {tex]γ[/tex] and $g_{0}-cz$ for $g$

$dp+d(\frac{1}{2}V^{2}+ρ(g_{0}-cz)dz=0$

integrating the above equation using limits 1 and 2.

$\int\limits^2_1 \, dp +\int\limits^2_1 {(\frac{1}{2}ρV^{2} )} \, +ρ \int\limits^2_1 {(g_{0}-cz )} \,dz=0\\p_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}ρ(V^{2})_{1}^{2}+ρg_{0}z_{1}^{2}-ρc(\frac{z^{2}}{2})_{1}^{2}=0\\p_{2}-p_{1}+\frac{1}{2}ρ(V^{2}_{2}-V^{2}_{1})+ρg_{0}(z_{2}-z_{1})-\frac{1}{2}ρc(z^{2}_{2}-z^{2}_{1})=0\\p+\frac{1}{2}ρV^{2}+ρg_{0}z-\frac{1}{2}ρcz^{2}=constant$

there the bernoulli equation for this flow is $p+\frac{1}{2}ρV^{2}+ρg_{0}z-\frac{1}{2}ρcz^{2}=constant$

note: $ρ$ =density(ρ) in some parts and change(δ) in other parts of this equation. it just doesn't show up as that in formular
