As a delivery truck travels along a level stretch of road with constant speed, most of the power developed by the engine is used

to compensate for the energy transformations due to friction forces exerted on the delivery truck by the air and the road. If the power developed by the engine is 5.15 hp, calculate the total friction force acting on the delivery truck (in N) when it is moving at a speed of 30 m/s. One horsepower equals 746 W.

Answer:

128 N

Explanation:

Power can be defined as

P = F\cdot v

<em>F</em> is the force and <em>v</em> is the velocity.

F = \dfrac{P}{v}

According to the question, <em>P</em> = 5.15 hp = 5.15 × 746 W.

<em>v</em> = 30 m/s

F = \dfrac{5.15\times 746\text{ W}}{30\text{ m/s}} = 128 \text{ N}

Since most of the power is used to compensate for the energy transformations due to friction forces, the total frictional is 128 N

A 1-kilogram parcel of air is at 35°c and contains 7 grams of water vapor. What is the relative humidity?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

20%

Explanation:

Relative Humidity (%) = (water vapor content÷water vapor capacity) × 100

=(7÷35)×100

=(0.2)×100

=20%

According to the Temperature-Water Vapor Capacity Table, the water capacity at 35 °C is 35 grams.

Water Vapor Capacity: The amount of water (grams) which air can hold at a given temperature.

Water Vapor Content: The amount of water vapor actually present in the air.

Can you have a changing speed and constant velocity?
igor_vitrenko [27]
No, a body can not have its velocity constant, while its speed varies. Rather, it can have its speed constant and its velocity varying. For example in a uniform circular motion.

How does an increase in cold working effect Modulus of Elasticity and why?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

There is a decrease in modulus of elasticity

Explanation:

Young's Modulus of elasticity also known as elastic modulus is the deformation of a body along a particular axis under the action of opposing forces along that axis. at atomic levels, it depends on bond energy or strength.

In cold working processes, plastic deformation a metal occurs below its re-crystallization temperature due to which crystal structure of metal gets distorted and as a result of dislocations fractures also occur resulting in hardening of metal but bonds at atomic levels defining elasticity are temporarily affected.

Thus an increase in cold working results in a decrease in modulus of elasticity.
