Air that is not saturated will cool or heat at a rate of 10 degrees C/1000 meters as it rises or descends, respectively

The rate of the change in temperature which is observed while moving upward in the earth's atmosphere with elevation. It can be positive, negative and zero when the temperature decreases, increases or is constant with the elevation respectively.

For the atmosphere, the drop in temperature of rising air that is unsaturated air is about 10 degrees C/1000 meters (5.5 °F per 1000 feet) altitude.

That means if a there occur a rise of 1000 m , then the temperature of that thing will decrease to 10 degrees. Every 10°C of temperature from the given temperature will decrease at every rise of 1000 m .Air that is not saturated will cool or heat at a rate of 10 degrees C/1000 meters as it rises or descends, respectively

16. The energy absorbed in 10minutes by an electrical heater is 1.5 MJ. The supply voltage is 240 V. calculate: a) The current d

dsp73

Answer:

If by 1.5 MJ you mean 1.5E6 Joules then

W = P t = power X time

W / t = P power

P = 1.5E6 J / 600 sec = 2500 J / s

P = I V

a) I = 2500 J/s / (240 J/c) = 10.4 C / sec = 10.4 amps

b) Q = I t = 10.4 C / sec * 300 sec = 3120 Coulombs

c) E = P * t = 2500 J / sec * 100 hr * 3600 sec / hr = 9.0E8 Joules

A violin string vibrates at 260 Hz when unfingered. At what frequency will it vibrate if it is fingered one fourth of the way do

Advocard [28]

Answer:

346.66 Hz

Explanation:

$l_1$ = Length of string which is unfingered = l

$l_2$ = Length of string which is vibrate when fingered = $l-\dfrac{1}{4}l=\dfrac{3}{4}l$

$f_1$ = Unfingered frequency = 260 Hz

$f_2$ = Fingered frequency

Frequency is inversely proportional to length

$f=\dfrac{1}{l}$

So,

$\dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{l_2}{l_1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}l}{l}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\Rightarrow f_2=\dfrac{4}{3}f_1\\\Rightarrow f_2=\dfrac{4}{3}260\\\Rightarrow f_2=346.66\ Hz$

The frequency of the fingered string is 346.66 Hz

A heat pump with a COP of 3.15 is used to heat an air-tight house. When running, the heat pump consumes 5 kW of power. If the te

Jet001 [13]

Answer: 1026s, 17.1m

Explanation:

Given

COP of heat pump = 3.15

Mass of air, m = 1500kg

Initial temperature, T1 = 7°C

Final temperature, T2 = 22°C

Power of the heat pump, W = 5kW

The amount of heat needed to increase temperature in the house,

Q = mcΔT

Q = 1500 * 0.718 * (22 - 7)

Q = 1077 * 15

Q = 16155

Rate at which heat is supplied to the house is

Q' = COP * W

Q' = 3.15 * 5

Q' = 15.75

Time required to raise the temperature is

Δt = Q/Q'

Δt = 16155 / 15.75

Δt = 1025.7 s

Δt ~ 1026 s

Δt ~ 17.1 min

2. An airplane traveling north at 220. meters per second encounters a 50.0-meters-per-second crosswind

Alex777 [14]

The resultant speed of the plane is (3) 226 m/s

Why?

We can calculate the resultant speed of the plane by using the Pythagorean Theorem since both speeds are perpendicular (forming a right triangle).

So, calculating we have:

$ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{VerticalSpeed^{2}+HorizontalSpeed^{2}}\\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{(220\frac{m}{s})^{2}+50\frac{m}{s})^{2}$

$ResulntantSpeed=\sqrt{48400\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }+2500\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } } \\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{50900\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }}=226\frac{m}{s}$

Hence, we have that the resultant speed of the plane is (3) 226 m/s

Have a nice day!
