Explanation:

John is traveling north at 20 meters/second and his friend Betty is traveling south at 20 meters/second.

We know that the total distance covered divided by total time taken is called speed of an object. It is a scalar quantity i.e. it have only magnitude. While velocity is a vector quantity.

In this case, north direction is considered as positive while south direction is considered as negative.

So, John's speed is 20 meters/second and Betty's speed is 20 meters/second as speed is a scalar quantity.

Betty's velocity is 20 m/s south.
Their speeds are both 20 m/s.

Answer:

When the resistances are connected in the parallel the equivalent resistance will be always less than the value of the lowest resistance in the parallel circuit.

The equivalent resistance in the parallel circuit can be calculated using the following formula.

1/R=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3

1/R= 1/10+1/20+1/30

1/R=(6+3+2)/60

1/R=11/60

R=60/11

R=5.45 Ohms

Steam at 400C has a specific volume of 0.02m3/kg. Determine the pressure of the steam based on a) the ideal gas equation b) the
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

by ideal gas pressure = 15529.475 kPa

by compressibility chart pressure = 12576 kPa

by steam tables Pressure = 12517 kPa

Explanation:

given data

temperature T = 400°C = 673 K

volume v = 0.02 m³/kg

to find out

pressure by ideal gas, compressibility chart and steam tables

solution

we know here by table

gas constant R is 0.4615 kJ/ kg-K

and critical temp Tc = 647.1 K

and critical pressure Pc = 22064 kPa

so by ideal gas pressure is

pressure = R×T / v

pressure = 0.4615 × 673  / 0.02

pressure = 15529.475 kPa

and

by compressibility chart

temperature reduce is = T/ Tc

temperature reduce Tr = 673 / 647.1

Tr = 1.040 K

so pseudo reduce volume is here

reduce volume Vr = v / ( RTc/Pc)

reduce volume Vr =\frac{0.02}{\frac{461.5(647.1)}{22064*10^{3} } }

0.02 / ( 461.5(647.1) / 22064×10³)

reduce volume = 1.48

and we know by compressibility chart

reduce pressure Pr is 0.57

so

pressure = Pr × Pc

pressure = 0.57 × 22064 ×  10³

pressure = 12576 kPa

and

from steam table

pressure is 12.5 MPa at 673 K and 0.020030 m³/kg

pressure is 15 MPa at 673 K and 0.015671 m³/kg

so

pressure P is

\frac{0.02 - 0.020030}{0.015671 - 0.020030} = \frac{ P - 12.5}{15 - 12.5}

so

Pressure = 12517 kPa

A solid cylinder of mass 20kg rolls without slipping down a 30° slope. Find the acceleration and the frictional force needed to
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a = 3.27 m/s²

F = 32.7 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are three forces:

Weight force mg pulling straight down.

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the slope.

Friction force F pushing parallel up the slope.

Sum of forces in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

mg sin θ − F = ma

Sum of torques about the cylinder's axis:

∑τ = Iα

Fr = ½ mr²α

F = ½ mrα

Since the cylinder rolls without slipping, a = αr.  Substituting:

F = ½ ma

Two equations, two unknowns (a and F).  Substituting the second equation into the first:

mg sin θ − ½ ma = ma

Multiply both sides by 2/m:

2g sin θ − a = 2a

Solve for a:

2g sin θ = 3a

a = ⅔ g sin θ

a = ⅔ (9.8 m/s²) (sin 30°)

a = 3.27 m/s²

Solving for F:

F = ½ ma

F = ½ (20 kg) (3.27 m/s²)

F = 32.7 N

A ball is thrown straight up into the air. At each of the following instants, is the ball's acceleration ay equal to g, −g, 0, g
Leto [7]

Answer:

a= (-g) from the moment the ball is thrown, until it stops in the air.

a = (0) when the ball stops in the air.

a = (g) since the ball starts to fall.

Explanation:

The acceleration is <em>(-g)</em> <em>from the moment the ball is thrown, until it stops in the air</em> because the movement goes in the opposite direction to the force of gravity. In the instant <em>when the ball stops in the air the acceleration is </em><em>(0)</em> because it temporarily stops moving. Then, <em>since the ball starts to fall, the acceleration is </em><em>(g)</em><em> </em>because the movement goes in the same direction of the force of gravity

Two cars are facing each other. Car A is at rest while car B is moving toward car A with a constant velocity of 20 m/s. When car
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Let's define t = 0s (the initial time) as the moment when Car A starts moving.

Let's find the movement equations of each car.

A:

We know that Car A accelerations with a constant acceleration of 5m/s^2

Then the acceleration equation is:

A_a(t)  = 5m/s^2

To get the velocity, we integrate over time:

V_a(t) = (5m/s^2)*t + V_0

Where V₀ is the initial velocity of Car A, we know that it starts at rest, so V₀ = 0m/s, the velocity equation is then:

V_a(t) = (5m/s^2)*t

To get the position equation we integrate again over time:

P_a(t) = 0.5*(5m/s^2)*t^2 + P_0

Where P₀ is the initial position of the Car A, we can define P₀ = 0m, then the position equation is:

P_a(t) = 0.5*(5m/s^2)*t^2

Now let's find the equations for car B.

We know that Car B does not accelerate, then it has a constant velocity given by:

V_b(t) =20m/s

To get the position equation, we can integrate:

P_b(t) = (20m/s)*t + P_0

This time P₀ is the initial position of Car B, we know that it starts 100m ahead from car A, then P₀ = 100m, the position equation is:

P_b(t) = (20m/s)*t + 100m

Now we can answer this:

1) The two cars will meet when their position equations are equal, so we must have:

P_a(t) = P_b(t)

We can solve this for t.

0.5*(5m/s^2)*t^2 = (20m/s)*t + 100m\\(2.5 m/s^2)*t^2 - (20m/s)*t - 100m = 0

This is a quadratic equation, the solutions are given by the Bhaskara's formula:

t = \frac{-(-20m/s) \pm \sqrt{(-20m/s)^2 - 4*(2.5m/s^2)*(-100m)}  }{2*2.5m/s^2} = \frac{20m/s \pm 37.42 m/s}{5m/s^2}

We only care for the positive solution, which is:

t = \frac{20m/s + 37.42 m/s}{5m/s^2} = 11.48 s

Car A reaches Car B after 11.48 seconds.

2) How far does car A travel before the two cars meet?

Here we only need to evaluate the position equation for Car A in t = 11.48s:

P_a(11.48s) = 0.5*(5m/s^2)*(11.48s)^2 = 329.48 m

3) What is the velocity of car B when the two cars meet?

Car B is not accelerating, so its velocity does not change, then the velocity of Car B when the two cars meet is 20m/s

4)  What is the velocity of car A when the two cars meet?

Here we need to evaluate the velocity equation for Car A at t = 11.48s

V_a(t) = (5m/s^2)*11.48s = 57.4 m/s
