The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object forms a unit less number called the

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction.

Explanation:

The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object is equal to the coefficient of friction. It is a dimensional less number. It can be given by :

$F=\mu N$

N is normal force.

$\mu$ = coefficient of friction

$\mu=\dfrac{F}{N}$

Suppose that you are headed toward a plateau 55 meters high. If the angle of elevation to the top of the plateau is 40degrees,

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

$x=65.55m$

Explanation:

Let x be the distance to the shore

From trigonometry properties:

$tan(40^{o} )=\frac{55m}{x} \\x=\frac{55m}{tan(40^{o} )} \\x=65.55m$

Water flows through a cast steel pipe (k = 50 W m.K, ε = 0.8) with an outer diameter of 104mm and 2 mm wall thickness. Calculate

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The heat loss per unit length is $\frac{Q}{L} = 2981 W/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The outer diameter of the pipe is $d = 104mm = \frac{104}{1000} = 0.104 m$

The thickness is $D = 2mm = \frac{2}{1000} = 0.002m$

The temperature of water is $T = 90^oC = 90 + 273 = 363K$

The outside air temperature is $T_a = -10^oC = -10 +273 = 263K$

The water side heat transfer coefficient is $z_1 = 300 W/ m^2 \cdot K$

The heat transfer coefficient is $z_2 = 20 W/m^2 \cdot K$

The heat lost per unit length is mathematically represented as

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{2 \pi (T - Ta)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_1} + \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_2}}$

Substituting values

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{2 * 3.142 (363 - 263)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{300} + \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{20}}$

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{628}{0.2107}$

$\frac{Q}{L} = 2981 W/m$

What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum? in your own words

Inessa05 [86]

The electromagnetic spectrum is the system of frequencies that show electromagnetic radiation, respective wavelengths, and photon energies. Some examples of frequencies found on the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays.
