A ski lift has a one-way length of 1 km and a vertical rise of200m. The chairs are spaced 20 m apart, and each chair can seatthr

ee people. The lift is operating at a steady spedd of 10 km/h.Neglecting friction and ari drag ans assuming that the average massof each loaded chair is 250 kg, determine the power required tooperate the ski lift. Also estimate the power required toaccelerate this ski lift in 5 s to its operating speed when it isfirst turned

Answer:

a) 68.125 KW

b) 43.04 KW

Explanation:

Distance =d= 1 km

Height = h = 200 m

Spacing between chairs =D= 20 m

No. of people per chair = 3

Speed = V= 10 km/h= 10000m\3600 s=2.8 m/s

mass of chair = 250 kg

Work to operate sky lift

W= mgh

Number of chairs any moment operational = N= 1 km/20=1000m/20=50

So, total mass of chairs = 50 × 250 =12500kg

so, w= mgh=12500×9.8×200=2452500 j

Power is rate of work - we need time for operation time of lift

Time= t = distance/speedf= 1km/(10km/h)=1km/(10 km/3600s)=360s

So, Power P= Work/time=w/t=12500/360=68125 j/s=68.125 KW

Now calculating power for operating speed in 5 sec

We calculate accelleration=a for 5 sec

a= speed / time= V/52.8/5=0.28 m/sec2

for vertical acceleration we calculate θ angle first;

tanθ= height /distance= 200/1000= 0.2

==> θ=11.34°

Vertical acceleration = a₁=a sinθ= 0.28× sin 11.34=0.10835 m/sec2

to calculate height gained during startup use;

S=vit+1/2at2

here s=H

vi=0m/s

t=5 sec

==> H = 0+1/2a₁×t=0.5×0.10835 ×5²=0.5×0.10835×5×5=1.362 m

Total Work =mgH+0.5×m×V²=12500(9.8×1.362+0.5×2.8×2.8)=215240.56 j

Again power = work / time=215240.56/5=43048.112 W=43.04 KW

Laser transmissions travel at a higher speed than the radio waves true or false

uranmaximum [27]

<span>False. Laser transmissions and radio waves are both forms of electromagnetic radiation. Both travel at approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. This is the case because wavelength and frequency are directly proportional to this value. Although laser light has a shorter wavelength than radio waves, it will travel at the same speed because the frequency will be greater.</span>

A sinusoidal wave is traveling along a rope. The oscillator that generates the wave completes 40.0 vibrations in 30.0s . A given

Phantasy [73]

From the solution that I have done, the wavelength in the question that we have is 31.88 cm

<h3>How to solve for the wavelength</h3>

The frequency in the question is given as 40/30 = 1.33 hz

Next we have to solve for V

= 425/10

= 42.5 cm/s

v = frequency * wavelength

we have to put in the values in the formula. This would be

42.5 = 1.33 x wavelength

we have to divide through by 1.33 to get the wavelength. This would be

42.5/1.333 = wavelength

31.88 cm = wavelength

Hence we can say that the wavelength in the question that we have here is 31.88 cm

A hydraulic system for a dentist's chair is designed to be able to lift 3,112 newtons. The surface area over which this force is

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

13.8 N

Explanation:

Pressure on the one end of the hydraulic system = Pressure on the other end

Pressure = Force / Area where Force is in Newton, area is in m²

so Force of one end (F1) / area of that end = force of the other end (F2) / area of that end

3112 / ( 707 /10000) in m² = F2 / ( 3.14 / 10000) in m²

cross multiply

44016.97 × 0.000314 = 13.82 N

The rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3 × 10-11 e-250/T and 2

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Calculate the ratio of the rates of ozone destruction by these catalysts at 20 km, given that at this altitude the average concentration of OH is about 100 times that of Cl and that the temperature is about -50 °C

Knowing

Rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3x $10^{-11} e^{-255/T}$ and 2x $10^{-12} e^{-940/T}$

T = -50 °C = 223 K

The reaction rate will be given by [Cl] [O3] 3x $10^{-11} e^{-255/223} = 9.78^{-12} [Cl] [O3]$

Than, the reaction rate of OH with O3 is

Rate = [OH] [O3] 2x $10^{-12} e^{-940/223} = 2.95^{-14} [OH] [O3]$

Considering these 2 rates we can realize the ratio of the reaction with Cl to the reaction with OH is 330 * [Cl] / [OH]

Than, the concentration of OH is approximately 100 times of Cl, and the result will be that the reaction with Cl is 3.3 times faster than the reaction with OH

Calculate the rate constant for ozone destruction by chlorine under conditions in the Antarctic ozone hole, when the temperature is about -80 °C and the concentration of atomic chlorine increases by a factor of one hundred to about 4 × 105 molecules cm-3

Knowing

Rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3x $10^{-11} e^{-255/T}$ and 2x $10^{-12} e^{-940/T}$

T = -80 °C = 193 K

The reaction rate will be given by [Cl] [O3] 3x $10^{-11} e^{-255/193} = 8.21^{-12} [Cl] [O3]$

Than, the reaction rate of OH with O3 is

Rate = [OH] [O3] 2x $10^{-12} e^{-940/193} = 1.53^{-14} [OH] [O3]$

Considering these 2 rates we can realize the ratio of the reaction with Cl to the reaction with OH is 535 * [Cl] / [OH]

Than, considering the concentration of Cl increases by a factor of 100 to about 4 × $10^{5}$ molecules $cm^{-3}$ , the result will be that the reaction with OH will be 535 + (100 to about 4 × $10^{5}$ molecules $cm^{-3}$ ) times faster than the reaction with Cl
