If Jim could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 440 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long (in mi

llions of years, in 106 years) would he take to drive to a nearby star that is 12.0 light-years away? Use 9.461 × 1012 km/light-year and 8766 hours per year (365.25 days).

Answer:

t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years

Explanation:

The equation used in the case of constant speed is:

s = vt

t = s/v

where,

s = distance = 12 light years

s = (12 light years)(9.461 x 10¹² km/light year) =  113.532 x 10¹² km

v = speed = 440 km/hr

t = time passed = ?

Therefore,

t = (113.532 x 10¹² km)/(440 km/hr)

t = 2.58 x 10¹¹ hr

Now, converting it to years:

t = (2.58 x 10¹¹ hr)(1 year/8766 hr)

t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years

Nitrogen at 100 kPa and 25oC in a rigid vessel is heated until its pressure is 300 kPa. Calculate (a) the work done and (b) the
nignag [31]

Answer:

A. The work done during the process is W = 0

B. The value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Explanation:

Given Data

Initial pressure P_{1} = 100 k pa

Initial temperature T_{1} = 25 degree Celsius = 298 Kelvin

Final pressure P_{2} = 300 k pa

Vessel is rigid so change in volume of the gas is zero. so that initial volume is equal to final volume.

⇒ V_{1} = V_{2} ------------- (1)

Since volume of the gas is constant so pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

⇒ P ∝ T

⇒ \frac{P_{2} }{P_{1}} = \frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}}

⇒ Put all the values in the above formula we get the final temperature

⇒ T_{2} = \frac{300}{100} × 298

⇒ T_{2} = 894 Kelvin

(A). Work done during the process is given by W = P × (V_{2} -V _{1})

From equation (1), V_{1} = V_{2} so work done W = P × 0 = 0

⇒ W = 0

Therefore the work done during the process is zero.

Heat transfer during the process is given by the formula Q = m C_{v} ( T_{2} -T_{1} )

Where m = mass of the gas = 1 kg

C_{v} = specific heat at constant volume of nitrogen = 0.743 \frac{KJ}{kg k}

Thus the heat transfer Q = 1 × 0.743 × ( 894- 298 )

⇒ Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Therefore the value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}

A 70mm long blockhas cross-section of 50mm by 10mm the block is subjected to forces 60KN (tension) on the 50mm by 10mm face and
sammy [17]

Answer:

970 kN

Explanation:

The length of the block = 70 mm

The cross section of the block = 50 mm by 10 mm

The tension force applies to the 50 mm by 10 mm face, F₁ = 60 kN

The compression force applied to the 70 mm by 10 mm face, F₂ = 110 kN

By volumetric stress, we have that for there to be no change in volume, the total pressure applied by the given applied forces should be equal to the pressure removed by the added applied force

The pressure due to the force F₁ = 60 kN/(50 mm × 10 mm) = 120 MPa

The pressure due to the force F₂ = 110 kN/(70 mm × 10 mm) = 157.142857 MPa

The total pressure applied to the block, P = 120 MPa + 157.142857 MPa = 277.142857 MPa

The required force, F₃ = 277.142857 MPa × (70 mm × 50 mm) = 970 kN

If eight water waves pass an ocean buoy each minute, and successive wave crests are 20 m apart, find the wave speed:____________
Llana [10]

Answer:

The wave speed is calculated below:

Explanation:

Given,

number of waves passed per minute = 8

time period = 1 minute = 60 s

distance between successive wave crests = 20 m

waves passing interval per second = \frac{8}{60} s^{-1}

Now,

wave speed = 20 m × \frac{8}{60} s^{-1}

                     = \frac{8}3} m/s

                     = 2.67 m/s

Hence the wave speed is 2.67 m/s.
