dusya [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

diameter of spacecraft d=148\ m

radius r=74\ m

Force of gravity F_g=mg

where m =mass of object

g=acceleration due to  gravity on earth

Suppose v is the speed at which spacecraft is rotating so a net centripetal  acceleration is acting on spacecraft which is given by

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}

F_c=F_g

\frac{mv^2}{r}=mg

\frac{v^2}{r}=g

v=\sqrt{gr}

v=\sqrt{1450.4}

v=38.08\ m/s

a lion is stalking an antelope that is running at a speed of 7m/s. At the moment the antelope passes the lion, she gives chase a
fiasKO [112]
Antelope: uniform motion => V = d/t => d = Vt = 7m/s * t

Lion: uniformly accelerated motion, with initial velocity = 0 => d = [1/2]a*t^2 = [1/2]*[5m/s^2]*t^2

7*t = 2.5*t^2=> 2.5t^2 - 7t =0 => t(2.5t - 7) = 0

2.5t - 7 = 0 => t = 7/2.5 = 2.8 m/s^2

A cube icebox of side 3cm has a thickness of 5.0cm. If 4.0 kg of ice is put in the box estimate the amount of ice remaining afte
qaws [65]

Answer:

The amount of solid ice remaining after 6 hours is approximately 3.68664 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The side length of the cube box, s = 3(0) cm = 0.3 m

The thickness of the cube box, d = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m  

The mass of ice in the box, m = 4.0 kg

The outside temperature of the cube box, T₁ = 45°C

The temperature of the melting ice inside the box, T₂ = 0°C

The latent heat of fusion of ice, L_f = 3.35 × 10⁵ J/K/hr/kg

The surface area of the box, A = 6·s² 6 × (0.3 m)² = 0.54 m²

The coefficient of thermal conductivity, K = 0.01 J/s·m⁻¹·K⁻¹

For thermal equilibrium, we have;

The heat supplied by the surrounding = The heat gained by the ice

The  heat supplied by the surrounding, Q = K·A·ΔT·t/d

Where;

ΔT = T₁ - T₂ =  45° C - 0° C = 45° C

ΔT = 45° C

Q = K·A·ΔT·t/d = 0.01 × 0.54 × 45 × 6× 60×60/0.05 = 104976

∴ The  heat supplied by the surrounding, Q = 104976 J

The heat gained by the ice = L_f × m_{melted \ ice} =3.35 × 10⁵ J/kg × m_{melted \ ice}

Therefore, from Q =  L_f × m_{melted \ ice}, we have;

Q = 104976 J =  L_f × m_{melted \ ice} = 3.35 × 10⁵ J/kg × m_{melted \ ice}

104976 J = 3.35 × 10⁵ J/kg × m_{melted \ ice}

m_{melted \ ice} = 104976 J/(3.35 × 10⁵ J/kg) ≈ 0.31336 kg

The mass of melted ice, m_{melted \ ice} ≈ 0.31336 kg

∴ The amount of solid ice remaining after 6 hours, m_{ice} = m - m_{melted \ ice}

Which gives;

m_{ice} = m - m_{melted \ ice} = 4.0 kg - 0.31336 kg ≈ 3.68664 kg

The amount of solid ice remaining after 6 hours, m_{ice} ≈ 3.68664 kg.
