Explanation & answer:

Given:

Fuel consumption, C = 22 L/h

Specific gravity = 0.8

output power, P  =  55 kW

heating value, H = 44,000 kJ/kg

Solution:

Calculate energy intake

E = C*P*H

= (22 L/h) / (3600 s/h) * (1000 mL/L) * (0.8 g/mL) * (44000 kJ/kg)

= (22/3600)*1000*0.8*44000 j/s

= 215111.1 j/s

Calculate output power

P = 55 kW

= 55000 j/s

Efficiency

= output / input

= P/E

=55000 / 215111.1

= 0.2557

= 25.6% to 1 decimal place.

A 5.0 kg cannonball is dropped from the top of a tower. It falls for 1.6 seconds before slamming into a sand pile at the base of
stepan [7]

Answer:

15.7 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the cannonball is a accelerated motion with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (gravitational acceleration). Therefore, the velocity of the ball at time t is given by:

v(t)=u + gt

where

u = 0 is the initial velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t is the time

If we substitute t=1.6 s into the equation, we find the final velocity of the cannonball:

v(1.6 s)=0+(9.8 m/s^2)(1.6 s)=15.7 m/s

A 4.5-m-long wooden board with a 24-kg mass is supported in two places. One support is directly under the center of the board, a
JulijaS [17]

All the weight of the wooden board is bear by the support located at the centre of the rod, and the other support which is located at the end, will have no reaction force, or 0 reaction force.

Therefore the reaction at the centre support is equal to the weight of the board, while the support at the end has 0 reaction force.

Finally, you are ready to answer the main question. Cheetahs, the fastest of the great cats, can reach 50.0 miles/hourmiles/hour
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The acceleration of the cheetahs is 10.1 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of velocity of an object moving along a straight line with constant acceleration is the following:

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

v = velocity of the object at time t.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time

We know that at t = 2.22 s, v = 50.0 mi/h. The initial velocity, v0, is zero.

Let's convert mi/h into m/s:

50.0 mi/h · (1609.3 m / 1 mi) · (1 h / 3600 s) = 22.4 m/s

Then, using the equation:

v = v0 + a · t

22.4 m/s = 0 m/s + a · 2.22 s

Solving for a:

22.4 m/s / 2.22 s = a

a = 10.1 m/s²

The acceleration of the cheetahs is 10.1 m/s²

An object at rest is suddenly broken apart into two fragments by an explosion one fragment acquires twice the kinetic energy of
satela [25.4K]
<span>First, we use the kinetic energy equation to create a formula: Ka = 2Kb 1/2(ma*Va^2) = 2(1/2(mb*Vb^2)) The 1/2 of the right gets cancelled by the 2 left of the bracket so: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*Vb^2 (1) By the definiton of momentum we can say: ma*Va = mb*Vb And with some algebra: Vb = (ma*Va)/mb (2) Substituting (2) into (1), we have: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*((ma*Va)/mb)^2 Then: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*(ma^2*Va^2)/mb^2 We cancel the Va^2 in both sides and cancel the mb at the numerator, leving the denominator of the right side with exponent 1: 1/2(ma) = (ma^2)/mb Cancel the ma of the left, leaving the right one with exponent 1: 1/2 = ma/mb And finally we have that: mb/2 = ma mb = 2ma</span>
