Answer:

I have the options on e2020. So first, we can definitely mark out D because no way did they stay the same over time. We can cross out B because as scientist "upgrade" over the years, their work will become MORE accurate. Not LESS accurate. So then we are left with A and C. We can cross out C because its doesn't really become accurate and less accurate over time. Then we are left with A which is our answer because scientist can only become more accurate as time goes by with all the new technology advancements they're making.

Hope this helped!! :D (please read whole thing so you understand)

A point charge with charge q1 = 4.00 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 = -4.40 μC moves
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

W=0.94J

Explanation:

Electrostatic potential energy is the energy that results from the position of a charge in an electric field. Therefore, the work done to move a charge from point 1 to point 2 will be the change in electrostatic potential energy between point 1 and point 2.

This energy is given by:

U=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r}\\

So, the work done to move the chargue is:

W=U_1-U_2\\W=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_1}-\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_2}\\r_1=\sqrt{((0.155 m)^2+0 m)^2}=0.115m\\r_2=\sqrt{((0.245 m)^2+(0.270 m)^2}=0.365m\\W=K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |(\frac{1}{r_1}-\frac{1}{r_2})\\W=8.99*10^9\frac{Nm^2}{c^2}(4.00*10^{-6}C)(4.40*10^{-6}C)(\frac{1}{0.115m}-\frac{1}{0.365})\\W=0.94J

The work is positive since the potential energy in 1 is greater than 2.

brilliants [131]

Here is the missing part of the question

To Determine the heat transfer, in kJ  if the final temperature in the tank is 110 deg C

Answer:

Explanation:

The image attached below shows the process on T - v diagram

<u>At State 1:</u>

The first step is to find the vapor pressure

P_{v1} = \rho_1 P_g_1

= \phi_1 P_{x  \ at \ 125^0C}

= 0.5 × 232 kPa

= 116 kPa

The initial specific volume of the vapor is:

P_{v_1} v_{v_1} = \dfrac{\overline R}{M_v}T_1

116 \times 10^3 \times v_{v_1} = \dfrac{8314}{18} \times (125 + 273)

116 \times 10^3 \times v_{v_1} = 183831.7778

v_{v_1} = 1.584 \ m^3/kg

<u>At State 1:</u>

The next step is to determine the mass of water vapor pressure.

m_{v1} = \dfrac{V}{v_{v1}}

= \dfrac{2.5}{1.584}

= 1.578 kg

Using the ideal gas equation to estimate the mass of the dry air m_aP_{a1} V = m_a \dfrac{\overline R}{M_a}T_1

(P_1-P_{v1})  V = m_a \dfrac{\overline R}{M_a}T_1

(4-1.16) \times 10^5 \times 2.5 = m_a \dfrac{8314}{28.97}\times ( 125 + 273)

710000= m_a \times 114220.642

m_a = \dfrac{710000}{114220.642}

m_a = 6.216 \ kg

For the specific volume v_{v_1} = 1.584 \ m^3/kg , we get the identical value of saturation temperature

T_{sat} = 100 + (110 -100) \bigg(\dfrac{1.584-1.673}{1.210 - 1.673}\bigg)

T_{sat} =101.92 ^0\ C

Thus, at T_{sat} =101.92 ^0\ C, condensation needs to begin.

However, since the exit temperature tends to be higher than the saturation temperature, then there will be an absence of condensation during the process.

Heat can now be determined by using the formula

Q = ΔU + W

Recall that: For a rigid tank, W = 0

Q = ΔU + 0

Q = ΔU

Q = U₂ - U₁

Also, the mass will remain constant given that there will not be any condensation during the process from state 1 and state 2.

<u>At State 1;</u>

The internal energy is calculated as:

U_1 = (m_a u_a \ _{ at \ 125^0 C})+ ( m_{v1} u_v \ _{ at \ 125^0 C} )

At T_1 = 125° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of air

SO;

U_{a \ at \ 125 ^0C } = 278.93 + ( 286.16 -278.93) (\dfrac{398-390}{400-390}   )

=278.93 + ( 7.23) (\dfrac{8}{10}   )

= 284.714 \ kJ/kg\\

At T_1 = 125° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of  water vapor

U_{v1 \ at \ 125^0C} = u_g = 2534.5 \ kJ/kg

U_1 = (m_a u_a \ at \ _{  125 ^0C }) + ( m_{v1} u_v  \ at \ _{125^0C} )

= 6.216 × 284.714 + 1.578 × 2534.5

= 5768.716 kJ

<u>At State 2:</u>

The internal energy is calculated as:

U_2 = (m_a u_a \ _{ at \ 110^0 C})+ ( m_{v1} u_v \ _{ at \ 110^0 C} )

At temperature 110° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of air

SO;

U_{a \ at \ 110^0C } = 271.69+ ( 278.93-271.69) (\dfrac{383-380}{390-380}   )

271.69+ (7.24) (0.3)

= 273.862 \ kJ/kg\\

At temperature 110° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of  water vapor

U_{v1 \ at \ 110^0C}= 2517.9 \ kJ/kg

U_2 = (m_a u_a \ at \ _{  110 ^0C }) + ( m_{v1} u_v  \ at \ _{110^0C} )

= 6.216 × 273.862 + 1.578 × 2517.9

= 5675.57 kJ

Finally, the heat transfer during the process is

Q = U₂ - U₁

Q = (5675.57 - 5768.716 ) kJ

Q = -93.146 kJ

with the negative sign, this indicates that heat is lost from the system.

What is energy converted to if it is not used to do work?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

the human body isn't very efficient at converting food into useful work. The human body is less than 5% efficient most of the time. The rest of the energy is converted to heat, which may or may not be useful, depending on how cool or warm a person wants to be.

The equatorial diameter of venus is 7,523 miles. if a mile equals 1.609 km, what is venus's diameter in kilometers?
polet [3.4K]

The diameter of venus in km is 12104.507Km.

<h3 /><h3>What is Unit conversion?</h3>

By definition, unit conversion refers to the division or multiplication operation used to convert measurements of the same quantity between various units. The act of converting something from one form to another in mathematics, such as from inches to millimetres or from litres to gallons, is known as conversion.

the diameter of venus = 7,523 miles

1 mile = 1.609 km

so,

diameter of venus = 7523 × 1.609 Km

= 12104.507Km

A 0.200-m uniform bar has a mass of 0.795 kg and is released from rest in the vertical position, as the drawing indicates. The s
aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

Since, the rod is present in vertical position and the spring is unrestrained.

So, initial potential energy stored in the spring is U_{s} = 0

And, initial potential gravitational potential energy of the rod is U_{g} = \frac{mgL}{2}.

It is given that,

       mass of the bar = 0.795 kg

            g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

           L = length of the rod = 0.2 m

Initial total energy T = \frac{mgL}{2}

Now, when the rod is in horizontal position then final total energy will be as follows.

            T = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + I \omega^{2}

where,    I = moment of inertia of the rod about the end = \frac{mL^{2}}{3}

Also,    \omega = \frac{\nu}{L}

where,    \nu = speed of the tip of the rod

              x = spring extension

The initial unstrained length is x_{o} = 0.1 m

Therefore, final length will be calculated as follows.

              x' = \sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}} m

Then,  x = x' - x_{o}

          x = \sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}} m - 0.1 m

             = 0.1236 m

       k = 25 N/m

So, according to the law of conservation of energy

       \frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1 \times mL^{2}}{2 \times 3}(\frac{\nu}{L})^{2}

      \frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

   \frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}

  \frac{0.795 kg \times 9.8 \times 0.2 m}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 27 N/m \times (0.1236)^{2} + \frac{1}{6} \times 0.795 \times v^{2}

          v = 2.079 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that tangential speed with which end A strikes the horizontal surface is 2.079 m/s.
