Answer:

86605.08 N

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the force is:

Force = mass * acceleration

The force and the acceleration does not have the same direction in this case, so we need to decompose the force into its horizontal component, which is the force that will generate the horizontal acceleration:

Force_x = Force * cos(30)

Then, we have that:

Force_x = mass * acceleration

Force * cos(30) = 25000 * 3

Force * 0.866 = 75000

Force = 75000 / 0.866 = 86605.08 N

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?
katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.

The collision between a hammer and a nail can be considered to be approximately elastic. estimate the kinetic energy acquired by
Setler [38]

Here we can use momentum conservation as in this type of collision there is no external force on it

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1 v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

now here we can say

m_1 = 10 g

v_{1i} = 0

m_2 = 550 g

v_{2i} = 3.5 m/s

now here we can say

10*0 + 550 * 3.5 = 10 v_{1f} + 550 v_{2f}

192.5 = v_{1f} + 55 v_{2f}

now by coefficient of restitution

for elastic collision we know that e = 1

v_{2f} - v_{1f} = e(v_{1i} - v_{2i})

v_{2f} - v_{1f} = 0 - 3.5

now by solving the two equation

56v_{2f} = 189

v_{2f} = 3.375 m/s

also we know that

v_{1f} = v_{2f} + 3.5 = 3.375 + 3.5 = 6.875 m/s

so final speed of the nail is 6.875 m/s

Mazyrski [523]
<h3><u>Answers;</u></h3>

Antarctica and Greenland

Present day glaciers are found primarily in <em><u>Antarctica and Greenland</u></em>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The two major ice sheets that exists today are found primarily in Antarctica and Greenland. Ice sheets are large masses of glacial ice that are also known as continental glaciers.</u></em>
  • Most ice in Antarctica and Greenland spill out into the ocean from a few spots. The Antarctica and Greenland ice sheets combined comprise more than 99 percent of freshwater ice found on Earth.

Consider a heat pump that operates on the reversed Carnot cycle with R-134a as the working fluid executed under the saturation d
Schach [20]

Answer:

Work out = 28.27 kJ/kg

Explanation:

For R-134a, from the saturated tables at 800 kPa, we get

h_{fg} = 171.82 kJ/kg

Therefore, at saturation pressure 140 kPa, saturation temperature is

T_{L} = -18.77°C = 254.23 K

At saturation pressure  800 kPa, the saturation temperature is

T_{H} = 31.31°C = 304.31 K

Now heat rejected will be same as enthalpy during vaporization since heat is rejected from saturated vapour state to saturated liquid state.

Thus, q_{reject} = h_{fg} = 171.82 kJ/kg

We know COP of heat pump

COP = \frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}

        = \frac{304.31}{304.31-254.23}

         = 6.076

Therefore, Work out put, W = \frac{q_{reject}}{COP}

                                              = 171.82 / 6.076

                                              = 28.27 kJ/kg
