When an object is turning a corner what direction is the acceleration?

1 answer:

7 0

If the corner is rounded and is perfectly circular, then the acceleration is centripetal and is always directed toward the center.

How much water is stored in polar ice caps glaciers and permanent snow

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

1.7% is stored in the polar icecaps, glaciers, and permanent snow

Explanation:

70% of the Earth's surface is covered with water; However, only a small percentage, 0.025%, is suitable for human consumption. A limited resource whose demand, according to the forecasts of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), will skyrocket up to 55% globally between 2000 and 2050.

In the attached infographic we observe that the total volume of water on Earth is 1,386 million cubic kilometers, of which 1.7% is forming polar ice, cap glaciers and permanent snow. 1,338 million cubic kilometers of that water is in seas and oceans, that is, 96.5% is in seas and oceans, that is, it is salt water that cannot be drunk.

Only 3.5% of the Earth's water is fresh, but of this percentage, only 1% of the Earth's fresh water flows through the river basins in the form of streams and rivers.

A cylindrical can 150 mm in diameter is filled to a depth of 100 mm with a fuel oil. The oil has a mass of 1.56 kg. Calculate it

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Density (φ) = 0,8827 Kg/L

Specific weight (Ws) = 8,65 N/L

Specific gravity (Gs) = 0,8827 (without unit)

Explanation:

The density formula: φ = $\frac{m}{V}$

I know the mass "m", I need to find out the volume of the cylinder (V)

V = π* r²*h

The radius "r" is equal to half the diameter (150mm) = 75mm

Now I can find out the density (φ)

φ = $\frac{1,56Kg}{1,767145L}$ = 0,8827 Kg/L

The specific weight (Ws) is the relationship between the weight of substance (oil) and its volume. We apply the following formula:

Ws = φ*g

(g = gravity = 9,8 m/s²)

Finally, specific gravity (Gs) is the ratio between the density of a substance (oil) "φ(o)" and the density of water "φ(w)" :

Gs = φ(o) / φ(w)

(φ(w) = 1 Kg/L

Hope this can help you !!

How much work is required to compress 5.05 mol of air at 19.5°C and 1.00 atm to one-eleventh of the original volume by an isothe

Rus_ich [418]

Explanation:

(a) For an isothermal process, work done is represented as follows.

W = $-nRT ln(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

W = $-nRT ln(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})$

= $- 5.05 mol \times 8.314 J/mol K \times (19.5 + 273) K \times ln (\frac{\frac{V_{1}}{11}}{V_{1}})$

= $-12280.82 \times ln (0.09)$

= $-12280.82 \times -2.41$

= 29596.78 J

or, = 29.596 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, the required work is 29.596 kJ.

(b) For an adiabatic process, work done is as follows.

W = $\frac{P_{1}V^{\gamma}_{1}(V^{1-\gamma}_{2} - V(1-\gamma)_{1})}{(1 - \gamma)}$

= $\frac{-nRT_{1}(11^{\gamma - 1} - 1)}{1 - \gamma}$

= $\frac{-5.05 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 292.5 (11^{1.4 - 1} - 1)}{1 - 1.4}$

= 49.41 kJ

Therefore, work required to produce the same compression in an adiabatic process is 49.41 kJ.

(c) We know that for an isothermal process,

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$

or, $P_{2} = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}$

= $1 atm (\frac{V_{1}}{\frac{V_{1}}{11}})$

= 11 atm

Hence, the required pressure is 11 atm.

(d) For adiabatic process,

$P_{1}V^{\gamma}_{1} = P_{2}V^{\gamma}_{2}$

or, $P_{2} = P_{1} (\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}})^{1.4}$

= $1 atm (\frac{V_{1}}{\frac{V_{1}}{11}})^{1.4}$

= 28.7 atm

Therefore, required pressure is 28.7 atm.
