A man stands by a train track to watch the train car go by. Inside, a man walks through the train car eating a hot dog (the hot

dog is moving 1 m/s towards his mouth). Determine the hot dog's velocity with respect to the man standing still outside of the train car.
A) -11 m/s
B) -9 m/s
C) 9 m/s
D) 11 m/s

Answer:

D) 11 m/s

Explanation:

The problem asks us to calculate the velocity of the hot dog with respect to the observer stationary outside the train. This velocity is given by:

$v=v_t + v_m + v_h$

where

$v_t=+10 m/s$ is the velocity of the train (towards right)

$v_m=+2 m/s$ is the velocity of the man (towards right)

$v_h=-1 m/s$ is the velocity of the hot-dog (towards left, so we put a negative sign)

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

$v=+10 m/s+2 m/s-1 m/s=+11 m/s$

and the positive sign means the velocity is toward right.

Explanation:

Dear Student, this question is incomplete, and to attempt this question, we have attached the complete copy of the question in the image below. Please, Kindly refer to it when going through the solution to the question.

To objective is to find the:

(i) required heat exchanger area.

(ii) flow rate to be maintained in the evaporator.

Given that:

water temperature = 300 K

At a reasonable depth, the water is cold and its temperature = 280 K

The power output W = 2 MW

Efficiency $\zeta$ = 3%

where;

$\zeta = \dfrac{W_{out}}{Q_{supplied }}$

$Q_{supplied } = \dfrac{2}{0.03} \ MW$

$Q_{supplied } = 66.66 \ MW$

However, from the evaporator, the heat transfer Q can be determined by using the formula:

Q = UA(L MTD)

where;

$LMTD = \dfrac{\Delta T_1 - \Delta T_2}{In (\dfrac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2} )}$

Also;

$\Delta T_1 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 300 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 10 \ K$

$\Delta T_2 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 292 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 2\ K$

$LMTD = \dfrac{10 -2}{In (\dfrac{10}{2} )}$

$LMTD = \dfrac{8}{In (5)}$

LMTD = 4.97

Thus, the required heat exchanger area A is calculated by using the formula:

$Q_H = UA (LMTD)$

where;

U = overall heat coefficient given as 1200 W/m².K

$66.667 \times 10^6 = 1200 \times A \times 4.97 \\ \\ A= \dfrac{66.667 \times 10^6}{1200 \times 4.97} \\ \\ \mathbf{A = 11178.236 \ m^2}$

The mass flow rate:

$Q_{H} = mC_p(T_{in} -T_{out} ) \\ \\ 66.667 \times 10^6= m \times 4.18 (300 -292) \\ \\ m = \dfrac{ 66.667 \times 10^6}{4.18 \times 8} \\ \\ \mathbf{m = 1993630.383 \ kg/s}$

How far apart would you have to place the poles of a 1. 5 v battery to achieve the same electric field?

Zarrin [17]

To place the poles of a 1. 5 v battery to achieve the same electric field is 1.5×10−2 m

The potential difference is related to the electric field by:

∆V=Ed

where,

∆V is the potential difference

E is the electric field

d is the distance

what is potential difference?

The difference in potential between two points that represents the work involved or the energy released in the transfer of a unit quantity of electricity from one point to the other.

We want to know the distance the detectors have to be placed in order to achieve an electric field of

E=1v/cm=100v/cm

when connected to a battery with potential difference

∆v=1.5v

Solving the equation,we find

$d = \frac{ \:Δv}{e}$

$= \frac{1.5v}{100v/m}$

$= 1.5 \times 10 {}^{ - 2} m$

What controls the traits an organism has?

Charra [1.4K]

The Traits an organism displays are ultimately determined by the genes it inherited from its parents, in other words by its genotype. Variant copies of a gene are called alleles, and an individuals genotype is the sum of all the alleles inherited from the parents.
