Answer:

(a). the resultant force in the direction of the freestream velocity is termed the drag and the resultant force normal to the freestream velocity is termed the lift

Explanation:

When a fluid flows around the surface of an object, it exerts a force on it. This force has two components, namely lift and drag.

The component of this force that is perpendicular (normal) to the freestream velocity is known as lift, while the component of this force that is parallel or in the direction of the fluid freestream flow is known as drag.

Lift is as a result of pressure differences, while drag results from forces due to pressure distributions over the object surface, and forces due to skin friction or viscous force.

Thus, drag results from the combination of pressure and viscous forces while lift results only from the pressure differences (not pressure forces as was used in option D).

The only correct option left is "A"

(a). the resultant force in the direction of the freestream velocity is termed the drag and the resultant force normal to the freestream velocity is termed the lift

Two substances, A and B, initially at different temperatures, come into contact and reach thermal equilibrium. The mass of subst

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of substance A is 1.16 J/g

Explanation:

The substances A and B come to a thermal equilibrium, therefore, the heat given by the hotter substance B is absorbed by the colder substance A.

The equation becomes:

Heat release by Substance B = Heat Gained by Substance A

The heat can be calculated by the formula:

Heat = mCΔT

where,

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = difference in temperature of substance

Therefore, the equation becomes:

(mCΔT) of A = (mCΔT) of B

FOR SUBSTANCE A:

m = 6.01 g

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 46.1°C - 20°C = 26.1°C

C = ?

FOR SUBSTANCE B:

m = 25.6 g

ΔT = Initial Temperature - Final Temperature

ΔT = 52.2°C - 46.1°C = 6.1°C

C = 1.17 J/g

Therefore, eqn becomes:

(6.01 g)(C)(26.1°C) = (25.6 g)(1.17 J/g)(6.1°C)

C = (182.7072 J °C)/(156.861 g °C)

C = 1.16 J/g

Describe at least one way you take advantage or could take advantage of each of the different forms of energy

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Kinetic energy can be used to develop electric energy which can be used as electricity.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy can be harnessed; much like some hydro power technologies harness water movement. A way to convert this kinetic energy into electric energy is through piezoelectric. By applying a mechanical stress to a piezoelectric crystal or material an electric current will be created and can be harvested.

Kinetic energy is also generated by the human body when it is in motion. Studies have also been done using kinetic energy and then converting it to other types of energy, which is then used to power everything from flashlights to radios and more.

BE-40 What is a characteristic of a catamaran hull?

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

A stable ride

Explanation:

A Catamaran hull is a form of sea craft invented by the Austronesian peoples, the invention of the Catamaran hull enabled these people to sail across the sea in their expansion to the islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Catamaran has multiple hulls, usually two parallel hulls of equal size. This geometric feature gives the craft an increased stability because, it derives extra stability from its wide beam, in the place of a ballasted keel employed in a regular monohull sailboat. A Catamaran hull will require four times the force needed to capsize it, when compared to an equivalent monohull.
