Explanation:

It is given that The Moon's center is 3.9x10⁸ m from Earth's center. The moon 1.5x10⁸ km from the Sun's center. We need to find the ratio of the gravitational forces exerted by Earth and the Sun on the Moon.

The gravitational force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{Gm_em_m}{r^2}$

It means $F\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}$

So,

$\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}$

r₁ = 3.9x10⁸ km

r₂= 1.5x10⁸ km

So,

$\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{1.5\times 10^8}{3.9\times 10^8}\\\\\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{5}{13}$

Hence, the ratio of the gravitational forces exerted by Earth and the Sun on the Moon is 5:13.

Viktor [21]

Here we have perfectly inelastic collision. Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:
$m_{1} * v_{1} + m_{2} * v_{2} = m_{1} * v'_{1}+ m_{2} * v'_{2}$

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We are given information:
m₁=0.5kg
m₂=0.8kg
v₁=3m/s
v₂=2m/s
v'₁=v'₂=x

0.5*3 + 0.8*2 = 0.5*x + 0.8*x
1.5 + 1.6 = 1.3x
3.1 = 1.3x
x = 2.4 m/s

What is the correct classification of a mixture in which both a solid and a liquid are visible?

stepan [7]

<span>The answer is a heterogeneous mixture. Mixtures can be homogeneous and heterogeneous. If a solid and a liquid of a mixture cannot be separated and the difference between them is not visible, it is called homogeneous mixture (or solution). If a solid and a liquid of a mixture are visible and can be separated easily, the mixture is called heterogeneous.</span>

What is the average power consumption in watts of an appliance that uses 5.00 kWh of energy per day? How many joules of energy d

denpristay [2]

Answer:

(A) power = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

(B) energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

Explanation:

energy consumed per day = 5 kWh

(a) find the power consumed in a day

1 day = 24 hours

power = \frac{energy}{time}

power = \frac{5}{24}

power = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

(b) find the energy consumed in a year

assuming it is not a leap year and number of days = 365 days

1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds

energy = power x time

energy = 208 x 31,536,000

energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

Air enters a turbine operating at steady state with a pressure of 75 Ibf/in.^2, a temperature of 800º R and velocity of 400 ft/s

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

(a) W/m = 49.334 Btu/lb

(b) $\frac{E_{d} }{m}$ = 22.12 Btu/lb

Explanation:

For the given problem, it can be assumed that the system is operating at steady state and the effects of potential energy can be neglected.

(a) Using the thermodynamic table for air.

At the temperature ( $T_{1}$ )of 800 ºR and pressure ( $P_{1}$ ) of 75 Ibf/in.^2, we can deduce that:

Specific enthalpy ( $h_{1}$ ) = 191.81 BTu/lb

Specific entropy ( $s_{1}$ ) = 0.6956 Btu/(lb.ºR)

At the temperature ( $T_{2}$ )of 600 ºR and pressure ( $P_{2}$ ) of 15 Ibf/in.^2, we can deduce that:

Specific enthalpy ( $h_{2}$ ) = 143.47 BTu/lb

Specific entropy ( $s_{2}$ ) = 0.6261 Btu/(lb.ºR)

The work done can be calculated using energy rate equation:

$\frac{W}{m} = \frac{Q}{m} + (h_{1} - h_{2}) + \frac{V_{1}^{2} - V_{2}^{2}}{2}$

Q/m = heat transfer = -2 Btu/lb

$V_{1}$ = 400 ft/s

$V_{2}$ = 100 ft/s

$\frac{W}{m} = -2 + (191.81 - 143.47) + \frac{400^{2} - 100^{2}}{2}*[tex]\frac{1}{2*32.2*778}$ [/tex] = -2 + 48.34 + 29.938 = 49.334 Btu/lb

(b) To calculate the exergy destruction, we will use the equation for exergy rate:

$\frac{E_{d} }{m} = [1-\frac{T_{o} }{T_{b} }](\frac{Q}{m}) - \frac{W}{m} + [(h_{1} - h_{2}) -T_{o}(s_{1} - s_{2}) + \frac{V^{2} _{1} - V_{2} ^{2}}{2}]$

The equation above is further simplified to:

$\frac{Ed}{m} = T_{o}[(s_{2} -s_{1}) - Rln\frac{P_{2} }{P_{1} } - \frac{Q/m}{T_{b} }]$

Using a reference temperature (To) = 500 °R

Average surface temperature (Tb = 620°R

$\frac{Ed}{m} = 500*[(0.6261 -0.6956) - (1.986/28.97)ln\frac{15 }{75 } - \frac{-2}{620}}]$

$\frac{E_{d} }{m}$ = 500*[-0.0695 +0.068688*1.609 +0.003225] = 22.12 Btu/lb
