Xf=?
Xi=0m
Vi=0m/s
Vf=40m/s
a=?
t=12s

Xf=Xi+1/2(Vi+Vf)t
Xf= 0 +1/2 (0+40)12
Xf=1/2 (40)12
Xf=240m

Vf=Vi+at
40=0+a (12)
40=12a
a=3.33m/s^2

Answer:

a) 107.279m

b)1.49m/s^2

Explanation:

We use the second and third equations of a uniformly accelerated motion as follows;

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2...................(1)\\v^2=u^2+2as...................(2)

where u is the initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration, t is time taken and s is distance covered.

Given;

u = 0m/s (since the car starts from rest)

v =40mi/h

t = 12s

a = ?

s = ?

substituting into equation (1), we obtain the following;

s=0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*12^2\\s=\frac{1}{2}*a*144\\s=72a.................(3)

For the purpose of consistency of units, we have to first of all convert the 40mi/h to m/s as follows;

1 mile = 1609.34m

therefore;

40miles = 40 x 1609.34m = 64373.8m

Also,

1 hour = 60 x 60s =3600s.

Hence;

40mi/h=\frac{64373.8}{3600}m/s\\40mi/h=17.88m/s

We then make sustitution into equation (2) as follows;

17.88^2=0^2+2*a*s\\319.69=2as....................(4)

We then proceed to solve for s and a by solving equations (3) and (4) simultaneously.

(a) To find  s, the distance covered;

from equation (3), a=\frac{s}{72}. We then put this into (4) to obtain the following;

319.69=2*\frac{s}{72}*s\\319.69=\frac{2s^2}{72}\\hence\\2s^2=319.69*72\\2s^2=23017.68\\s^2=\frac{23017.68}{2}\\s^2=11508.84\\s=\sqrt{11508.84}\\\\s=107.279m

b) As previously stated, a=\frac{s}{72};

hence,

a=\frac{107.279}{72}\\a=1.49m/s^2

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a) 34.05ft/s

b).1156.2BTU/lbm

c) 2.04BTU/s

Explanation:

Amount of liquid that has evaporated, m = ◇Vliq/ Vf

We replace the values to make conversion

m = (0.6gal/ 0.01683ft^3/lbm) × (0.13368ft^3/1gal)

m = 4.755lb

The mass flow rate of exit steam is given by:

m' = m/◇t

We replace values to make conversion

m' =( 4.766lb/45min) = 0.1059lb/min × 1min/60s

m' = 0.001765lb/s

The exit velocity V = m'/pA = m'Vg/A

We replace values to make conversion

V =[ (0.001765lbm/s)(20.093ft^3/lbm) /(0.15 in^2)]× (144in^2/1ft^2)

V = 34.05ft/s

b) The total and flow energies per unit mass is given by:

Eflow= Pv = h - u

We replace the values to make conversion

Eflow = 1156.2 - 1081.8

Eflow = 74.4BTU/lbm

Therefore theta= h + ke + pe

Theta approximately =h = 1156.2BTU/lbs

c) The rate at which energy is leaving the cooler by steam is given by:

Emass = m'theta

Emass = (0.001765)×(1156.2)

Emass = 2.04BTU/s
