A boat has a mass of 4040 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4660 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 880 N due

east and the water exerts a resistive force of 1400 N due east. Take west to be the positive direction. What is the boat's acceleration, with correct sign?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the boat, m = 4040 kg

The driving force of engine, FB = 4660 N in west = + 4660 N

The force of wind, Fwi = 880 N in east = -880 N

The force of water, Fwa = 1400 N in east = -1400N

Total three forces are acting on the boat

Fnet= Fb+fwi+Fwa

Fnet= 4660 - 880 - 1400

Fnet= +2380N

Acceleration (a) = Force/mass

= 2380/4040

= 0.59m/s2

Answer: acceleration =0.59m/s2

Direction is due west

Explanation: M = 4040

F1 =4660

F2=1400

F3=880

Net force = F1-(F2 +F3)

= 4660-(1400 + 880)

=2380

Acceleration (a)= F/M

= 2380/4040

= 0.59m/s2

A storage tank holds methane at 120 K, with a quality of 25 %, and it warms up by 5°C per hour due to a failure in the refrigera

lord [1]

One of the fundamental pillars to solve this problem is the use of thermodynamic tables to be able to find the values of the specific volume of saturated liquid and evaporation. We will be guided by the table B.7.1 'Saturated Methane' from which we will obtain the properties of this gas at the given temperature. Later considering the isobaric process we will calculate with that volume the properties in state two. Finally we will calculate the times through the differences of the temperatures and reasons of change of heat.

Table B.7.1: Saturated Methane

$T_1 = 120K$

$p_1 = 191.6kPa$

$v_f = 0.002439m^3/kg$

$v_{fg} = 0.30367 m^3/kg$

Calculate the specific volume of the methane at state 1

$v_1 = v_f+x_1v_{fg}$

$v_1 = 0.002439+ (0.25)(0.30367)$

$v_1 = 0.0783m^3/kg$

Assume the tank is rigid, specific volume remains constant

$v_2 = v_1$

$v_2 = 0.0783m^3/kg$

Now from the same table we can obtain the properties,

At $v_g = 0.0783m^3/kg$

$T_2 = 145K$

$p_2 = 823.7kPa$

We can calculate the time taken for the methane to become a single phase

$t = \frac{T_2-T_1}{\dot{T}}$

Here

$T_1 =$ Initial temperature of Methane

$\dot{T} =$ Warming rate

Replacing

$t = \frac{(145-273)-(120-273)}{5}$

$t = \frac{25}{5}$

$t = 5hr$

Therefore the time taken for the methane to become a single phase is 5hr

Two 120 Ω resistors are connected in parallel across a supply voltage of 10 VDC. What's the current in this circuit?

german

As we know that here two 120 ohm resistors are connected in parallel with the battery of voltage 10 V DC

now here we will use Ohm's law

$V = i R$

so here we can use above equation to find the current in each resistor

$10 = i \times 120$

$i = \frac{10}{120}$

$i = 0.0833 A$

so here this will be the current flow through each resistor

now the total current through both resistors will be given as

$i_{total} = 0.0833 + 0.0833 = 0.167 A$

Blown balloon kept outside on a sunny day bursts what will happen to the ballon

Advocard [28]

When the balloon is kept in the sun, due to Sun's heat, the kinetic energy of gaseous particles inside the balloons also gets increased and the balloon expands. This will increase the pressure on the walls of the balloon. It continues to expand and comes to a stage when the baloon bursts.

Two loudspeakers (A and B) are 3.20m apart and emitting a sound with a frequency of 400Hz. An observer is 2.10m directly in fron

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The observer hears a loud sound

Explanation:

In order to know if the observer hears a loud or a quiet sound, you need to know if there is a constructive or destructive interference between the sound waves of the loudspeakers.

You first calculate the distance between the observer and the loudspeakers.

The distances are given by:

d1: distance to loudspeaker A = 2.10m

d2: distance to loudspeaker B

$d_2=\sqrt{(3.20m)^2+(2.10m)^2}=3.827m$

Next, you calculate the wavelength of the sound waves by using the following formula:

$\lambda=\frac{v_s}{f}$

vs: speed of sound = 343 m/s

f: frequency of the waves = 400Hz

λ: wavelength

$\lambda=\frac{343m/s}{400Hz}=0.8575m$

Next, you calculate the path difference between the distance from the observer to the loudspeakers:

$\Delta d=3.827m-2.10m=1.727m$

You obtain a constructive interference (loud sound) if the quotient between the wavelength of the sound and the difference path is an integer:

$\frac{\Delta d}{\lambda}=\frac{1.727m}{0.857}\approx2$

Then, there will be a constructive interference, and the sound who the observer hears is loud.
