Answer:

(a) 62.5 m

(b) 7.14 s

Explanation:

initial speed, u = 35 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s^2

(a) Let the rocket raises upto height h and at maximum height the speed is zero.

Use third equation of motion

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$

$0^{2}=35^{2}- 2 \times 9.8 \times h$

h = 62.5 m

Thus, the rocket goes upto a height of 62.5 m.

(b) Let the rocket takes time t to reach to maximum height.

By use of first equation of motion

v = u + at

0 = 35 - 9.8 t

t = 3.57 s

The total time spent by the rocket in air = 2 t = 2 x 3.57 = 7.14 second.

Answer:

a) 447.21m

b) -62.99 m/s

c)94.17 m/s

Explanation:

This situation we can divide in 2 parts:

⇒ Vertical : y =-200 m

y =1/2 at²

-200 = 1/2 *(-9.81)*t²

t= 6.388766 s

⇒Horizontal: Vx = Δx/Δt

Δx = 70 * 6.388766 = 447.21 m

b) ⇒ Horizontal

Vx = Δx/Δt ⇒ 70 = 400 /Δt

Δt= 5.7142857 s

⇒ Vertical:

y = v0t + 1/2 at²

-200 = v(5.7142857) + 1/2 *(-9.81) * 5.7142857²

v0= -7 m/s ⇒ it's negative because it goes down.

v= v0 +at

v= -7 + (-9.81) * 5.7142857

v= -62.99 m/s

c) √(70² + 62.99²) = 94.17 m/s

100-ft-long horizontal pipeline transporting benzene develops a leak 43 ft from the high-pressure end. The diameter of the leak

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass flow rate of benzene from the leak in the pipeline containing benzene is:

$Q_m=AC_o\sqrt{2\rho g_cP_g}$

Here, $Q_m$ is the mass flow rate through the leak of the pipeline. $A$ is the area of the hole, $C_o$ is the discharge rate, $\rho$ is the fluid density, $g_c$ is the gravitational constant and $P_g$ is the constant gauge pressure within the process unit.

The diametre of the leak (d) is 0.1 in. Convert from in to ft.

$d=(0.1 in)(\frac{1ft}{12in})\\=8.33\times 10^{-3}ft$

Calculate the area (A) of the hole. The area of the hole is.

$A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Substitute 3.14 for $\pi$ and $8.33\times 10^{-3}ft$ for d and calculate A.

$A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}\\\\\frac{(3.14)(8.33\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}\\\\5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2$

The specific gravity of benzene is 0.8794. Specific gravity is the ratio of th density of a substance to the density of a reference substance.

Specific gravity of benzene = density of benzenee/denity of reference substance

Rewrite the expression in terms of density of benzene.

Density of benzene = specific gravity of benzene x density of reference substance

Take the reference substance as water. Density of water is $62.4\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$ . Calculate density of benzene.

Density of benzene = specific gravity of benzene x density of reference substance

$=(0.8794)(62.4\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3})\\\\54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$

Calculate the pressure at the point of leak. The pressure is the average of the pressure of the high and low pressure end. Write the expression to calculate the average pressure.

Upstream x distance from upstream pressure end

$P_g$ =+DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE X DISTANCE FROM THE DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE END/ TOTAL LENGTH OF THE HORIZONTAL PIPELINE

Calculate the distance from the downstream pressure end. The distance from upstream pressure end is 43 ft. Total of the pipe is 100 ft.

Distance from the downstream pressure end = Total length of the pipe - Distance from the upstream pressure end

The distance from upstream pressure end is 43 ft. Total length of the pipe is 100 ft. Substitute the values in the equation.

Distance from the downstream pressure end = Total length of the pipe - Distance from the upstream pressure end

= 100ft - 43ft = 57 ft

Substitute 50 psig for upstream, 43 ft fr distance from the upstream pressure end, 40 psig for downstream pressure, 57 ft for distance from the downstream pressure end, and 100 ft for the total length of the horizontal pipeline and calculate $P_g$ .

Upstream x distance from upstream pressure end

$P_g$ =+DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE X DISTANCE FROM THE DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE END/ TOTAL LENGTH OF THE HORIZONTAL PIPELINE

$=\frac{(50psig\times 43ft)+(40psig \times 57ft)}{100ft}\\\\=44.3psig$

Convert the pressure from psig to $Ib_f/ft^2$

$P_g=(44.3psig)(\frac{1\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}}{1psig})(144\frac{in^2}{ft^2})\\\\=6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}$

The leak is like a sharp orifice. Take the value of the discharge coefficient as 0.61.

Substitute $5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2$ for A. 0.61 for $C_o$ , $54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$ for $\rho$ , $32.17\frac{ft.Ib_m}{Ib_f.s^2}$ for $g_c$ , and $6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}$ for $P_g$ and calculate $Q_m$

$Q_m=AC_o\sqrt{2\rho g_cP_g}\\\\=(5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2)(0.61)\sqrt{2(54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3})(32.17\frac{ft.Ib_m}{Ib_f.s^2})(6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2})}\\\\(3.3245\times 10^{-5}ft^2)\sqrt{22,533,031.21\frac{Ib^2_m}{ft^4.s^2}}\\\\=0.158\frac{Ib_m}{s}$

The mass flow rate of benzene through the leak in the pipeline is $0.158\frac{Ib_m}{s}$

Calculate the mass of the air contained in a room that measures 2.50 m x 5.50 m x 3.00 m if the density of air is 1.29 g/dm3.53.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

$5.32\cdot 10^4 g$

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the volume of the room, which is given by

$V=2.50 m \cdot 5.50 m \cdot 3.00 m =41.3 m^3$

Now we can find the mass of the air by using

$m=dV$

where

$d=1.29 g/dm^3$ is the density of the air

$V=41.3 m^3 = 41,300 dm^3$ is the volume of the room

Substituting,

$m=(1.29)(41300)=5.32\cdot 10^4 g$

An ideal gas is contained in a vessel at 300 K. The temperature of the gas is then increased to 900 K. (i) By what factor does t

Dahasolnce [82]

The question is missing some parts. Here is the complete question.

An ideal gas is contained in a vessel at 300K. The temperature of the gas is then increased to 900K.

(i) By what factor does the average kinetic energy of the molecules change, (a) a factor of 9, (b) a factor of 3, (c) a factor of $\sqrt{3}$ , (d) a factor of 1, or (e) a factor of $\frac{1}{3}$ ?

Using the same choices in part (i), by what factor does each of the following change: (ii) the rms molecular speed of the molecules, (iii) the average momentum change that one molecule undergoes in a colision with one particular wall, (iv) the rate of collisions of molecules with walls, and (v) the pressure of the gas.

Answer: (i) (b) a factor of 3;

(ii) (c) a factor of $\sqrt{3}$ ;

(iii) (c) a factor of $\sqrt{3}$ ;

(iv) (c) a factor of $\sqrt{3}$ ;

(v) (e) a factor of 3;

Explanation: (i) Kinetic energy for ideal gas is calculated as:

$KE=\frac{3}{2}nRT$

where

n is mols

R is constant of gas

T is temperature in Kelvin

As you can see, kinetic energy and temperature are directly proportional: when tem perature increases, so does energy.

So, as temperature of an ideal gas increased 3 times, kinetic energy will increase 3 times.

For temperature and energy, the factor of change is 3.

(ii) Rms is root mean square velocity and is defined as

$V_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3k_{B}T}{m} }$

Calculating velocity for each temperature:

For 300K:

$V_{rms1}=\sqrt{\frac{3k_{B}300}{m} }$

$V_{rms1}=30\sqrt{\frac{k_{B}}{m} }$

For 900K:

$V_{rms2}=\sqrt{\frac{3k_{B}900}{m} }$

$V_{rms2}=30\sqrt{3}\sqrt{\frac{k_{B}}{m} }$

Comparing both veolcities:

$\frac{V_{rms2}}{V_{rms1}}= (30\sqrt{3}\sqrt{\frac{k_{B}}{m} }) .\frac{1}{30} \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_{B}} }$

$\frac{V_{rms2}}{V_{rms1}}=\sqrt{3}$

For rms, factor of change is $\sqrt{3}$

(iii) Average momentum change of molecule depends upon velocity:

q = m.v

Since velocity has a factor of $\sqrt{3}$ and velocity and momentum are proportional, average momentum change increase by a factor of

(iv) Collisions increase with increase in velocity, which increases with increase of temperature. So, rate of collisions also increase by a factor of $\sqrt{3}$ .

(v) According to the Pressure-Temperature Law, also known as Gay-Lussac's Law, when the volume of an ideal gas is kept constant, pressure and temperature are directly proportional. So, when temperature increases by a factor of 3, Pressure also increases by a factor of 3.
