Answer:

Multiple transformations occur because the chemical energy of the fuel is changed to several forms of energy

Explanation:

In a car engine, multiple energy transformation takes place. The chemical energy storef in fuel is transformed into mechanical energy which helps move the wheels of the vehicle.

The mechanical energy can also be transformed into electrical energy through a sort of dynamo system in vehicles. Stereo players use the electrical energy to produce sound.

We see that multiple energy conversions are common in a motor car.

A 6.5 l sample of nitrogen at 25◦c and 1.5 atm is allowed to expand to 13.0 l. the temperature remains constant. what is the fin

ollegr [7]

Since the temperature of the gas remains constant in the process, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas transformation at constant temperature, the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:
$pV=k$
which can also be rewritten as
$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$ (1)
where the labels 1 and 2 mark the initial and final conditions of the gas.

In our problem, $p_1 = 1.5 atm$ , $V_1 =6.5 L$ and $V_2 =13.0 L$ , so the final pressure of the gas can be found by re-arranging eq.(1):
$p_2 = p_1 \frac{V_1}{V_2}= (1.5 atm) \frac{6.5 L}{13.0 L}=0.75 atm$

Therefore the correct answer is
<span>1. 0.75 atm</span>

Natali [406]

Answer:

1.38*10^18 kg

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G*\frac{m_a*m_p}{r^2}$

where:

G= Gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 N · (m/kg)2)

ma= mass of the astronaut

mp= mass of the planet

$F=m_a.a\\(v_f )^2=(v_o)^2+2.a.\Delta y\\\\a=\frac{(v_f)^2-(v_o)^2}{2.\Delta y}\\\\a=\frac{(0)^2-(4.29m/s)^2}{2.0.64m}=14.38m/s^2\\\\F=m_a*14.38m/s^2$

so:

$m_a*14.38m/s^2=(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)*\frac{m_a.m_p}{(2.530*10^3m)^2}\\m_p=\frac{14.38m/s^2(2.530*10^3m)^2}{(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)}\\\\m_p=1.38*10^{18}kg$

cluponka [151]

Answer:

a) v₃ = 19.54 km, b) 70.2º north-west

Explanation:

This is a vector exercise, the best way to solve it is finding the components of each vector and doing the addition

vector 1 moves 26 km northeast

let's use trigonometry to find its components

cos 45 = x₁ / V₁

sin 45 = y₁ / V₁

x₁ = v₁ cos 45

y₁ = v₁ sin 45

x₁ = 26 cos 45

y₁ = 26 sin 45

x₁ = 18.38 km

y₁ = 18.38 km

Vector 2 moves 45 km north

y₂ = 45 km

Unknown 3 vector

x3 =?

y3 =?

Vector Resulting 70 km north of the starting point

R_y = 70 km

we make the sum on each axis

X axis

Rₓ = x₁ + x₃

x₃ = Rₓ -x₁

x₃ = 0 - 18.38

x₃ = -18.38 km

Y Axis

R_y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

y₃ = R_y - y₁ -y₂

y₃ = 70 -18.38 - 45

y₃ = 6.62 km

the vector of the third leg of the journey is

v₃ = (-18.38 i ^ +6.62 j^ ) km

let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length

v₃ = √ (18.38² + 6.62²)

v₃ = 19.54 km

to find the angle let's use trigonometry

tan θ = y₃ / x₃

θ = tan⁻¹ (y₃ / x₃)

θ = tan⁻¹ (6.62 / (- 18.38))

θ = -19.8º

with respect to the x axis, if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x axis it is

θ’= 180 -19.8

θ’= 160.19º

I mean the address is

θ’’ = 90-19.8

θ = 70.2º

70.2º north-west

Amanda [17]

Answer:

amount of energy = 4730.4 kWh/yr

amount of money = 520.34 per year

payback period = 0.188 year

Explanation:

given data

light fixtures = 6

lamp = 4

power = 60 W

average use = 3 h a day

price of electricity = $0.11/kWh

to find out

the amount of energy and money that will be saved and simple payback period if the purchase price of the sensor is $32 and it takes 1 h to install it at a cost of $66

solution

we find energy saving by difference in time the light were

ΔE = no of fixture × number of lamp × power of each lamp × Δt

ΔE is amount of energy save and Δt is time difference

ΔE = 6 × 4 × 365 ( 12 - 9 )

ΔE = 4730.4 kWh/yr

and

money saving find out by energy saving and unit cost that i s

ΔM = ΔE × Munit

ΔM = 4730.4 × 0.11

ΔM = 520.34 per year

and

payback period is calculate as

payback period = $\frac{excess initial cost}{\Delta M}$

payback period = $\frac{32 + 66}{520.34}$

payback period = 0.188 year
