Answer:

Power output, P = 0.35 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the fly, m = 1.5 g = 0.0015 kg

Speed of the fly, v = 2.4 cm/s = 0.024 m/s

We have to find the power output of the fly. Power output is given by :

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

And W = F.d

d = distance traveled

$P=\dfrac{F.d}{t}$

Since, v = d /t

So, P = F . v

$P=mg\times v$

$P=0.0015\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 0.024\ m/s$

P = 0.00035 watts

or P = 0.35 watts

Hence, this is the required solution.

Water, initially saturated vapor at 4 bar, fills a closed, rigid container. The water is heated until its temperature is 360°C.

salantis [7]

Explanation:

Using table A-3, we will obtain the properties of saturated water as follows.

Hence, pressure is given as p = 4 bar.

$u_{1} = u_{g}$ = 2553.6 kJ/kg

$v_{1} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$

At state 2, we will obtain the properties. In a closed rigid container, the specific volume will remain constant.

Also, the specific volume saturated vapor at state 1 and 2 becomes equal. So, $v_{2} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$

According to the table A-4, properties of superheated water vapor will obtain the internal energy for state 2 at $v_{2} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$ and temperature $T_{2} = 360^{o}C$ so that it will fall in between range of pressure p = 5.0 bar and p = 7.0 bar.

Now, using interpolation we will find the internal energy as follows.

$u_{2} = u_{\text{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}} + (\frac{v_{2} - v_{\text{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}}}{v_{\text{at 7 bar, 400^{o}C - v_{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}}}})(u_{at 7 bar, 400^{o}C - u_{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}})$

$u_{2} = 2963.2 + (\frac{0.4625 - 0.6173}{0.4397 - 0.6173})(2960.9 - 2963.2)$

= 2963.2 - 2.005

= 2961.195 kJ/kg

Now, we will calculate the heat transfer in the system by applying the equation of energy balance as follows.

Q - W = $\Delta U + \Delta K.E + \Delta P.E$ ......... (1)

Since, the container is rigid so work will be equal to zero and the effects of both kinetic energy and potential energy can be ignored.

$\Delta K.E = \Delta P.E$ = 0

Now, equation will be as follows.

Q - W = $\Delta U + \Delta K.E + \Delta P.E$

Q - 0 = $\Delta U + 0 + 0$

Q = $\Delta U$

Now, we will obtain the heat transfer per unit mass as follows.

$\frac{Q}{m} = \Delta u$

$\frac{Q}{m} = u_{2} - u_{1}$

= (2961.195 - 2553.6)

= 407.595 kJ/kg

Thus, we can conclude that the heat transfer is 407.595 kJ/kg.

You are seated in a bus and notice that a hand strap that is hanging from the ceiling hangs away from the vertical in the backwa

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:C

Explanation:

It is given that hand strap moves from the vertical in the backward direction.

The direction of strap depends upon the acceleration of bus i.e. if bus is accelerating in forward direction then strap will move in backward direction and vice-versa.

The reason for moving backwards is due to the psuedo acting on strap which bends the strap in backward direction

angle of inclination is given by $\tan \theta =\frac{a}{g}$

where a=acceleration of bus

$\theta$ =inclination of strap from vertical

so we cannot conclude anything about the direction of the velocity of the bus

Explain how climbing a mountain is similar to hiking from the equator to one of the poles

Igoryamba

Explanation:

Climbing a mountain is similar to hiking from the equator to the pole because in both cases temperature decreases.
The higher you go, the cooler it becomes.
For a certain elevation, there is particular drop in temperature. High altitudes offers cooler temperatures.
The equator receives a huge insolation and the sun is overhead there.
It implies that the temperature is always high around the equatorial region.
As one increases latitude, the temperature drops and its is coldest at the pole.
In both cases, temperature drops and it gets colder.
