Which part of the steam engine does the work?

2 answers:

6 0

Imagine living off nothing but coal and water and still having enough energy to run at over 100 mph! That's exactly what a steam locomotive can do. Although these giant mechanical dinosaurs are now extinct from most of the world's railroads, steam technology lives on in people's hearts and locomotives like this still run as tourist attractions on many heritage railways.

Steam locomotives were powered by steam engines, and deserve to be remembered because they swept the world through the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. Steam engines rank with cars, airplanes, telephones, radio, and television among the greatest inventions of all time. They are marvels of machinery and excellent examples of engineering, but under all that smoke and steam, how exactly do they work?

Answer:

-387883.3 m/s²

0.000286168546055 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 370 m/s

v = Final velocity = 259 m/s

s = Displacement = 9 cm

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{259^2-370^2}{2\times 9\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow a=-387883.3\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the bullet is -387883.3 m/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{259-370}{-387883.3}\\\Rightarrow t=0.000286168546055\ s$

The time taken is 0.000286168546055 seconds

Thallium consists of 29.5%TI-203 and 70.5%TI-205. What is the relative atomic mass of thallium?

Kazeer [188]

Since you are referring to the TI-203 and TI-205, you need to know the actual masses of these two isotopes. TI-203 has 202.9723 amu and TI-205 has 204.9744 amu. Since you are concluding that this Thallium have 29.5% (Ti-203) and 70.5% (Ti-205), you need to multiply the percentage to the actual masses of the isotopes. With that, you should be able to get 204.3833 amu

According to the Declaration, when do people have a right to revolution?

babunello [35]

Locke said that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty, and private property; under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of citizens.

What is the net force on these free body diagrams?

pentagon [3]

The horizontal force cancels out. The two 4Ns go in opposite directions. So they don't affect the outcome.

The Vertical force is 6N up - 2 N down = 4 N Up

Answer 4 N up

The horizontal and vertical forces cancel out. Each gives 3N - 3N =0

The net force is 0

You only have horizontal forces on this one

5N - 3N = 2N

The answer is 2N to the right.

How does the surface tension of water compared with the surface tension of most other liquids?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Surface tension is the direct measure of the cohesive forces between liquid molecules that allows them to form "film", making it more difficult to move an object through the liquid surface. Compared to other known liqiuds, the surface tension of water is much greater.
