Answer:

Power, P = 924.15 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the ramp, l = 12 m

Mass of the person, m = 55.8 kg

Angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal, $\theta=25^{\circ}$

Time, t = 3 s

Let h is the height of the hill from the horizontal,

$h=l\ sin\theta$

$h=12\times \ sin(25)$

h = 5.07 m

Let P is the power output necessary for a person to run up long hill side as :

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

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

$P=\dfrac{55.8\times 9.8\times 5.07}{3}$

P = 924.15 watts

So, the minimum average power output necessary for a person to run up is 924.15 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

a partially inflated weather balloon has a volume of 1.56 * 10^3 L and a pressure of 98.9 lPa. What is the volume of the balloon

e-lub [12.9K]

To solve the problem, we enumerate all the given first. Then the required and lastly the solution.

Given:

V1= 1.56x10^3 L = 1560 L P2 = 44.1 kPa
P1 = 98.9 kPa

Required: V2

Solution:

Assuming the gas is ideal. Ideal gas follows Boyle's Law which states that at a given temperature the product of pressure and volume of a gas is constant. In equation,

PV = k

Applying to the problem, we have

P1*V1 = P2*V2
(98.9 kPa)*(1560 L) = (44.1 kPa)*V2
V2 = 3498.5 L

<em>ANSWER: V2 = 3498.5 L</em>

Bricks and insulation are used to construct the walls of a house. The

ira [324]

Answer:

$\dot Q=350.438\ W$

Explanation:

Given:

<u>the thermal resistance in the form of </u>

$R_1=\frac{x_1}{k_1} =0.095\ m^2.^{\circ}C.W^{-1}$

$R_2=\frac{x_2}{k_2} =0.704\ m^2.^{\circ}C.W^{-1}$

where:

$x_1\ \&\ x_2$ are the thickness of the respective bricks

$k_1\ \&\ k_2$ are the respective coefficient of conductivity

temperature inside the house, $T_h=24\ ^{\circ}C$

temperature outside the house, $\ T_c=10^{\circ}C$

area of the wall, $A=20\ m^2$

Since the bricks and insulation are used to construct a wall then they must be used in series for better shielding.

<u>Using Fourier's law:</u>

$\dot Q=k.A.\frac{dT}{x}$

$\dot Q={dT}\div {\frac{x}{k.A} }$

in series the resistances get add up

$\dot Q=dT\div (\frac{x_1}{k_1.A}+\frac{x_2}{k_2.A} )$

$\dot Q=(24-10)\div (\frac{0.095 }{20}+ \frac{0.704 }{20} )$

$\dot Q=350.438\ W$

The helicopter in the drawing is moving horizontally to the right at a constant velocity. The weight of the helicopter is W=4900

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

(a) The magnitude of the lift force is 52144.71 N, approximately.

(b) The magnitude of the air resistance force opposing the movement is 17834.54 N, approximately.

Explanation:

Since the helicopter is moving horizontally at a constant velocity, we can assume that the net force acting on it is zero, then

(a) in the vertical direction we have

$L\cos(20\deg)-W=0\\L=\frac{W}{\cos(20\deg)}=\frac{49000 N}{\cos(20\deg)}\approx \mathbf{52144.71 N}$ .

(b) Now horizontally,

$L\sin(20\deg)-R=0\\R=L\sin(20\deg)=52144.71 N\times \sin(20\deg) \approx \mathbf{17834.54 N}.$

To calculate lobe lift, you need to know the _______ diameter and the lobe height

svetoff [14.1K]

The answer is the diameter of the cam shaft.

This is used to compute for the area of the circle so you can multiply it with the rocker ratio to get maximum amount of weight the valve can lift.
