Answer : The correct option is, (D) A machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds.

Explanation :

Power : It is defined a the rate of doing work per unit time.

Formula used :

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

where,

P = power

w = work done

t = time

Now we have to determine the rate of power for the following options.

(A) A machine does 200 joules of work in 10 seconds.

$P=\frac{200}{10}=20W$

(B) A machine does 400 joules of work in 10 seconds.

$P=\frac{400}{10}=40W$

(C) A machine does 200 joules of work in 5 seconds.

$P=\frac{200}{5}=40W$

(D) A machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds.

$P=\frac{400}{5}=80W$

From this we conclude that, a machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds has the highest rate of power.

Hence, the correct option is, (D)

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The time rate of change in air density during expiration is 0.01003kg/m³-s

Explanation:

Given that,

Lung total capacity V = 6000mL = 6 × 10⁻³m³

Air density p = 1.225kg/m³

diameter of the trachea is 18mm = 0.018m

Velocity v = 20cm/s = 0.20m/s

dv /dt = -100mL/s (volume rate decrease)

= 10⁻⁴m³/s

Area for trachea =

$\frac{\pi }{4} d^2\\= 0.785\times 0.018^2\\= 2.5434 \times10^-^4m^2$

0 - p × Area for trachea =

$\frac{d}{dt} (pv)=v\frac{ds}{dt} + p\frac{dv}{dt}$

$-1.225\times2.5434\times10^-^4\times0.20=6\times10^-^3\frac{ds}{dt} +1.225(-1\times10^-^4)$

⇒ $-0.623133\times10^-^4+1.225\times10^-^4=6\times10^-^3\frac{ds}{dt}$

$\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{0.6018\times10^-^4}{6\times10^-^3} \\\\= 0.01003kg/m^3-s$

ds/dt = 0.01003kg/m³-s

Thus, the time rate of change in air density during expiration is 0.01003kg/m³-s

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

82.76m

Explanation:

In order to find the distance of the steel ring to the ground, when its temperature has raised by 1°C, you first calculate the radius of the steel tube before its temperature increases.

You use the formula for the circumference of the steel ring:

$C=2\pi r$ (1)

C: circumference of the ring = 40000 km = 4*10^7m (you assume the circumference is the length of the steel tube)

you solve for r in the equation (1):

$r=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{4*10^7m}{2\pi}=6,366,197.724m$

Next, you use the following formula to calculate the change in the length of the tube, when its temperature increases by 1°C:

$L=Lo[1+\alpha \Delta T]$ (2)

L: final length of the tube = ?

Lo: initial length of the tube = 4*10^7m

ΔT = change in the temperature of the steel tube = 1°C

α: thermal coefficient expansion of steel = 13*10^-6 /°C

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$L=(4*10^7m)(1+(13*10^{-6}/ \°C)(1\°C))=40,000,520m$

With the new length of the tube, you can calculate the radius of a ring formed with the tube. You again solve the equation (1) for r:

$r'=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{40,000,520m}{2\pi}=6,366,280.484m$

Finally, you compare both r and r' radius:

r' - r = 6,366,280.484m - 6,366,197.724m = 82.76m

Hence, the distance to the ring from the ground is 82.76m

A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 75 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 22.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

3.964 s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

1 miles = 1.6 km = 1600 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

75 mph = 75 * 1600 / 3600 = 33.3 m/s

22.5 mph = 22.5 * 1600/3600 = 10 m/s

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

Friction is the product of coefficient and normal force, which equals to the gravity

$F_f = \mu N = \mu mg$

The deceleration caused by friction is friction divided by mass according to Newton 2nd law.

$a = F_f / m = \mu mg / m = \mu g = 0.6 *9.81 = 5.886 m/s^2$

So the time required to decelerate from 33.3 m/s to 10 m/s so the wheels don't slide, with the rate of 5.886 m/s2 is

$t = \frac{\Delta v}{a} = \frac{33.3 - 10}{5.886} = 3.964 s$
