Answer:

a) 3.242

b) 1291.178 KJ

c) 3.59 cents

Explanation:

a) First all the temperature units should be in Kelvin. -30°C + 273.15 = 243.15K and 45°C + 273.15 = 318.15K. Coefficient of performance for refrigerator is COP = TL/(TH-TL) where TL is Lower Temperature and TH is the Higher Temperature. COP = 243.15/(318.15-243.15) = 3.242

b) COP = Cooling Effect/Work Input. Cooling Effect (or Desired Output) is 4186 kJ.

So Work Input = Cooling Effect/COP = 4186KJ/3.242= 1291.178 KJ

c) 3.6 MJ (3600kJ) is for 10 cents, using ratio for cost: energy used

$\frac{10}{3600 kJ} =\frac{x}{1291.178kJ}$

3.59 cents

A physics student stands on the rim of the canyon and drops a rock. The student measures the time for it to reach the bottom to

madam [21]

Answer:

Canyon is 50.176 meter deep.

Explanation:

The students is standing on the rim of the canyon and drops down a rock from the rim(cliff). We have to find what is the depth of the canyon i.e. how much below is the ground from the cliff.

Given data:

Time = t = 3.2 s

Initial velocity = $v_{i}$ = 0 m/s

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h = ?

According to second equation of motion

$h = v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

As initial velocity is zero, So the first term of right hand side of above equation equal to zero

$h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

h = (0.5)(9.8)(3.2)²

h = 50.176 m

This means, the rock traveled 50.176 meters to reach the bottom of the Canyon. So, the Canyon is 50.176 meter deep.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heres the possible full question and solution:

A tank contains 100 gal of water and 50 oz of salt. Water containing a salt concentration of ¼ (1 + ½ sin t) oz/gal flows ito the tank at a rate of 2 gal/min, and the mixture in the tank flows out at the same rate.

a. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time.

b. Plot the solution for a time period long enough so that you see the ultimate behavior of the graph.

c. The long-time behavior of the solution is an oscillation about a certain constant level. What is this level? What is the amplitude of the oscillation?

solution

a)

Consider the tank contains 100gal of water and 50 oz of salt

Assume that the amount of salt in the tank at time t is Q(t).

Then, the rate of change of salt in the tank is given by $\frac{dQ}{dt}$ .

Here, $\frac{dQ}{dt}$ =rate of liquid flowing in the tank - rate of liquid flowing out.

Therefore,

$Rate_{in} =2gal/min \times \frac{1}{4} (1+ \frac{1}{2}sin t)oz/gal\\\\\\ \frac{1}{2} (1+ \frac{1}{2}sin t)oz/min\\\\\\Rate_{out}=2gal/min \times\frac{Q}{100}oz/gal\\\\\frac{Q}{50}oz/min$

Therefore,

$\frac{dQ}{dt}$ can be evaluated as shown below:

$\frac{dQ}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}(1+\frac{1}{2}\sin t)-\frac{Q}{50}\\\\\\\frac{dQ}{dt}+\frac{1}{50}Q=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\sin t$

The above differential equation is in standard form:

$\frac{dy}{dt}+Py=G$

Here, $P=\frac{1}{50},G=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\sin t$

The integrating factor is as follows:

$\mu(t)=e^{\int {P}dt}\\\mu(t)=e^{\int {\frac{1}{50}}dt}\\\mu(t)=e^{\frac{t}{50}}$

Thus, the integrating factor is $\mu(t)=e^{\frac{t}{50}}$

Therefore, the general solution is as follows:

$y\mu(t)=\int {\mu (t)G}dt\\\\Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\sin t) dt}\\\\Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=\frac{1}{2}\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}dt + \frac{1}{4}\int {\sin t {e^{\frac{t}{50}}} dt}\\\\\Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 {e^{\frac{t}{50}} + \frac{1}{4}\int {\sin t {e^{\frac{t}{50}}} dt}+C...(1)$

Here, C is arbitrary constant of integration.

Solve $\int {\sin te^{\frac{t}{50}}} dt}$

Here $u = e^{\frac{t}{50}}$ and $v =\sin t$ .

Substitute u , v in the below formula:

$\int{u,v}dt=u\int{v}dt-\int\frac{du}{dt}\int{v}dt\dot dt\\\\\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt=-e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t + \frac{1}{50}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t}dt...(2)$

Now, take $u = e^{\frac{t}{50}}$ , $v =\sin t$

Therefore, $\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t} dt=\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt - \frac{1}{50}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt...(3)$

Use (3) in equation(2)

$\int {e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt=-e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t + \frac{e^{\frac{t}{50}}}{50}\sin t - \frac{1}{2500}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt\\\\\frac{2501}{2500}\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt={e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t}+\frac{e^{\frac{t}{50}}}{50}\sin t\\\\\int{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t}dt=\frac{2500}{2501}{e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t}+\frac{50}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t...(4)$

Use (4) in equation(l) .

$Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 e^{\frac{t}{50}} - \frac{625}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t +\frac{25}{5002}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t+C$

Apply the initial conditions $t =0, Q = 50$ .

$50=25-\frac{625}{2501}+c\\\\c=\frac{63150}{2501}$

So, $Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 e^{\frac{t}{50}} - \frac{625}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t +\frac{25}{5002}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t+\frac{63150}{2501}$

Therefore, the amount of salt in the tank at any time is as follows:

$Qe^{\frac{t}{50}}=25 e^{\frac{t}{50}} - \frac{625}{2501}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\cos t +\frac{25}{5002}e^{\frac{t}{50}}\sin t+\frac{63150}{2501}e^{\frac{-t}{50}}$

: The truck is to be towed using two ropes. Determine the magnitudes of forces FA and FB acting on each rope in order to develop

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Fa=774 N

Fb=346 N

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.

On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative

While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero

⇒∑Fy=0

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)-Fb*sin(20)=0$

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)=Fb*sin(20)$

⇒ $Fa=2.24Fb$

Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction

⇒∑Fx=950

⇒ $Fa*cos(20)+Fb*cos(50)=950$

⇒ $2.24*Fb*cos(20)+Fb(50)=950$

⇒ $Fb*(2.24*cos(20)+cos(50))=950$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*cos(20)+cos(50)}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*0.94+0.64}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.75}=345.5$

⇒ $Fa=2.24*Fb$

$=2.24*345.5$

$=773.93$

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N
