Answer:

Explanation:

According to research and data, the average cost for a severe injury in a collision is $247,000.

These include traumatic brain injury, severe damage to limbs which could result to loss of the limbs, spinal cord injuries that could result to partial or total paralysis as well as internal damage to organs in the collision.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a) 34.05ft/s

b).1156.2BTU/lbm

c) 2.04BTU/s

Explanation:

Amount of liquid that has evaporated, m = ◇Vliq/ Vf

We replace the values to make conversion

m = (0.6gal/ 0.01683ft^3/lbm) × (0.13368ft^3/1gal)

m = 4.755lb

The mass flow rate of exit steam is given by:

m' = m/◇t

We replace values to make conversion

m' =( 4.766lb/45min) = 0.1059lb/min × 1min/60s

m' = 0.001765lb/s

The exit velocity V = m'/pA = m'Vg/A

We replace values to make conversion

V =[ (0.001765lbm/s)(20.093ft^3/lbm) /(0.15 in^2)]× (144in^2/1ft^2)

V = 34.05ft/s

b) The total and flow energies per unit mass is given by:

Eflow= Pv = h - u

We replace the values to make conversion

Eflow = 1156.2 - 1081.8

Eflow = 74.4BTU/lbm

Therefore theta= h + ke + pe

Theta approximately =h = 1156.2BTU/lbs

c) The rate at which energy is leaving the cooler by steam is given by:

Emass = m'theta

Emass = (0.001765)×(1156.2)

Emass = 2.04BTU/s

Near the top of the Citigroup Center building in New York City, there is an object with mass of 4.00 ✕ 105 kg on springs that ha

jasenka [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an object, $m=4\times 10^5\ kg$

(a) Time period of oscillation, T = 2.4 s

The formula for the time period of spring is given by :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}$

Where

k is the force constant

$k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 m}{T^2}$

$k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 \times 4\times 10^5}{(2.4)^2}$

$k=2.74\times 10^6\ N/m$

(b) Displacement in the spring, x = 2.2 m

Energy stored in the spring is given by :

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.74\times 10^6\ N/m\times (2.2\ m)^2$

$U=6.63\times 10^6\ J$

Hence, this is the required solution.

What frequency (in Hz) is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 116 km/h and emitting a steady 950 Hz so

Arte-miy333 [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler Effect, defined as the change in apparent frequency of a wave produced by the relative movement of the source with respect to its observer. Mathematically it can be written as

$f_{obs} = f(\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})$
