The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

The given parameters;

height of the waterfall, h = 0.432 m
distance of the Salmon from the waterfall, s = 3.17 m
angle of projection of the Salmon, = 30.8º

The time of motion to fall from 0.432 m is calculated as;

$h = v_0_y + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\0.432 = 0 + (0.5\times 9.8)t^2\\\\0.432 = 4.9t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{0.432}{4.9} \\\\t^2 = 0.088\\\\t = \sqrt{0.088} \\\\t = 0.3 \ s$

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is calculated as;

$X = v_0_x t\\\\3.17 = (v_0\times cos(30.8)) \times 0.3\\\\10.567 = v_0\times cos(30.8)\\\\v_0 = \frac{10.567}{cos(30.8)} \\\\v_0 = 12.3 \ m/s$

Thus, the minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

A lemon with mass 0.3 kg falls out of a tree from a height of 1.8 m. How much mechanical energy does the lemon have just before

Zina [86]

Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):

<span>PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?

</span>The answer will typically be given in joules:

1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong... But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.

Which of the following concepts best explains why a mass of low-density material in the mantle rises?Multiple Choice Strain Buoy

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Bouyancy

Explanation:

Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.

Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)

Argon gas enters steadily an adiabatic turbine at 900 kPa and 450C with a velocity of 80 m/s and leaves at 150 kPa with a veloc

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Temperature at the exit = $267.3 C$

Explanation:

For the steady energy flow through a control volume, the power output is given as

$W_{out}= -m_{f}(h_{2}-h_{1} + \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} - \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2})$

Inlet area of the turbine = $60cm^{2}= 0.006m^{2}$

To find the mass flow rate, we can apply the ideal gas laws to estimate the specific volume, from there we can get the mass flow rate.

Assuming Argon behaves as an Ideal gas, we have the specific volume $v_{1}$

$v_{1}=\frac{RT_{1}}{P_{1}}=\frac{0.2081\times723}{900}=0.1672m^{3}/kg$

$m_{f}=\frac{1}{v_{1}}\times A_{1}V_{1} = \frac{1}{0.1672}\times(0.006)(80)=2.871kg/sec$

for Ideal gasses, the enthalpy change can be calculated using the formula

$h_{2}-h_{1}=C_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1})$

hence we have

$W_{out}= -m_{f}((C_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1}) + \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} - \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2})$

$250= -2.871((0.5203(T_{2}-450) + \frac{150^{2}}{2\times 1000} - \frac{80^{2}}{2\times 1000})$

<em>Note: to convert the Kinetic energy term to kilojoules, it was multiplied by 1000</em>

evaluating the above equation, we have $T_{2}=267.3C$

Hence, the temperature at the exit = $267.3 C$
