Relative Dating- Scientists compare the fossil(s) to its surroundings to get a close answer to the age.
Absolute Dating - Use a specified Chronology in archeology and geology, this helps to decide the exact age of the fossil(s). 
Absolute Dating has a greater accuracy than that of Relative Dating.

Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 4 MPa, 500°C, and 80 m/s and the exit c
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

a) \Delta \dot K = 24.570\,kW, b) \dot W_{out} = 12729.15\,kW, c) A_{in} = 0.0136\,m^{2}

Explanation:

A turbine is a device which works usually in steady state and assumption of being adiabatic means no heat interactions between steam through turbine and surroudings and produce mechanical work from fluid energy. Changes in gravitational energy can be neglected. This system can be modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

-\dot W_{out} + \dot m \cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \dot m \cdot (v_{in}^{2}-v_{out}^{2})   = 0

a) Change in kinetic energy

\Delta \dot K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \dot m \cdot (v_{in}^{2} - v_{out}^{2})

\Delta \dot K = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left(12.6\,\frac{kg}{s} \right) \cdot \left[\left(80\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(50\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right]

\Delta \dot K = 24570\,W

\Delta \dot K = 24.570\,kW

b) Power output

\dot W_{out} = \dot m \cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \dot m \cdot (v_{in}^{2}-v_{out}^{2})

\dot W_{out} = \left(12.6\,\frac{kg}{s}\right)\cdot \left(3446\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 2437.7\,\frac{kJ}{kg} \right) + 24.570\,kW

\dot W_{out} = 12729.15\,kW

c) Turbine inlet area

Turbine inlet area can be found by using the following expressions:

\dot V_{in} = \dot m \cdot \nu_{in}

\dot V_{in} = \left(12.6\,\frac{kg}{s}\right) \cdot \left(0.086442\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} \right)

\dot V_{in} = 1.089\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}

A_{in} = \frac{\dot V_{in}}{v_{in}}

A_{in} = \frac{1.089\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} }{80\,\frac{m}{s} }

A_{in} = 0.0136\,m^{2}

If you lose control of your vehicle and collide with a fixed object, such as a tree, at 60 m.p.h., the force of impact is the sa
My name is Ann [436]
You can compare the velocity of the car, 60 mph, with the velocity that a mass would acquire when falls from certain height.

First, convert 60 mph to m/s:

60 miles/h * 1.60 km/mile * 1000 m/km * 1h/3600s = 26.67 m/s

Second, calculate from what height a body in free fall reachs 26.67 m/s velocity when hits the floor.

free fall => Vf^2 = 2g*H => H = Vf^2 / (2g)

H = (26.67m/s)^2 / (2*9.8 m/s) = 36.2 m

If you consider that the height between the floors of a building is approximately 3.6 m, you get 36.2 m / 3.6 m/floor = 10 floors.

Then, you conclude that the force of impact is the same as driving you vehicle off a 10 story building.
