Flagstaff is a wooded, mountainous, and Alpine town in Northern Arizona, this leads to exposure to crisper mountain winds, snow, and rain. Phoenix on the other hand is an extremely urban, center, located in a desert valley, which literally concentrates heat.

An automobile tire having a temperature of
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Psm = 30.66 [Psig]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use the ideal gas equation, recall that the ideal gas state equation is always worked with absolute values.

P * v = R * T

where:

P = pressure [Pa]

v = specific volume [m^3/kg]

R = gas constant for air = 0.287 [kJ/kg*K]

T = temperature [K]

<u>For the initial state</u>

<u />

P1 = 24 [Psi] + 14.7 = 165.47[kPa] + 101.325 = 266.8 [kPa] (absolute pressure)

T1 = -2.6 [°C] = - 2.6 + 273 = 270.4 [K] (absolute Temperature)

Therefore we can calculate the specific volume:

v1 = R*T1 / P1

v1 = (0.287 * 270.4) / 266.8

v1 = 0.29 [m^3/kg]

As there are no leaks, the mass and volume are conserved, so the volume in the initial state is equal to the volume in the final state.

V2 = 0.29 [m^3/kg], with this volume and the new temperature, we can calculate the new pressure.

T2 = 43 + 273 = 316 [K]

P2 = R*T2 / V2

P2 = (0.287 * 316) / 0.29

P2 = 312.73 [kPa]

Now calculating the manometric pressure

Psm = 312.73 -101.325 = 211.4 [kPa]

And converting this value to Psig

Psm = 30.66 [Psig]

Mitch throws a 100-g lump of clay at a 500-g target, which is at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact, the target, includi
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

27.22 m/s

Explanation:

Let the speed of clay before impact is u.

the speed of clay and target is v after impact.

use conservation of momentum

momentum before impact  momentum after impact

mass of clay x u = (mass of clay + mass of target) x v

100 x u = (100 + 500) x v

u = 6 v .....(1)

distance, s = 2.1 m

μ = 0.5

final velocity is zero. use third equation of motion

v'² = v² + 2as

0 = v² - 2 x μ x g x s

v² = 2 x 0.5 x 9.8 x 2.1 = 20.58

v = 4.54 m/s

so by equation (1)

u = 6 x 4.54 = 27.22 m/s

thus, the speed of clay before impact is 27.22 m/s.

In the graph, which region shows nonuniform positive acceleration?
cricket20 [7]

Answer: A.AB

Explanation:

This Velocity vs Time graph shows the acceleration of a body or object, since acceleration is the variation of velocity in time.

As we can see in the attached image, the graph can be divided in four segments:

OA: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a positive slope, hence we are dealing with a positive uniform acceleration.

AB: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be positive. This means the <u>acceleration is nonuniform and positive.</u>

BC: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be negative. This means the acceleration is nonuniform and negative.

CD: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a negative slope, hence we are dealing with a negative uniform acceleration.

From all these segments, the only one that fulfils the nonuniform positive acceleration condition is option A:

Segment AB
