A woman is running around a playground while keeping an eye on her child who is on a swing set. The child is going back and fort
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(a) 1500 m

(b) 2827.43m

Explanation:

Given that the time for one cycle of the swing is 1 s

The radius of the swing, R= 3.0m

The angle covered, \theta, by each swing is a quarter of the circle. i.e.

\Theta=\frac {\pi}{2}

Speed of running of women =5 m/s.

Time of running = 5 minutes= 5 x 60 secondes= 300 s.

(a) As distance= (speed) x (time)

So, the required distance= 5 x 300 m= 1500 m.

(b) As there are two swings in one cycle, so, the distance covered in one swing is the length of the circular shown in the figure.

As arc length, l= \theta R, where \theta is the angle, in radian, subtended by the arc at the center, and R is the radius of curvature of the arc.

So, the distance covered by the child in 1 swing = \frac {\pi}{2}\times 3 m=\frac{3\pi}{2}m.

In 1 cycle, there are 2 swings, so distance covered in 1 cycle = 3 \pi m.

Now, in 1 second there is 1 cycle, so in 5 minutes there will be 300 cycles.

So, the total distance covered by the child

= 3\pi\times 300 m= 2827.43 m.

The exit nozzle in a jet engine receives air at 1200 K, 150 kPa with negligible kinetic energy. The exit pressure is 80 kPa, and
nikitadnepr [17]

Complete question:

The exit nozzle in a jet engine receives air at 1200 K, 150 kPa with negligible kinetic energy. The exit pressure is 80 kPa, and the process is reversible and adiabatic. Use constant specific heat at 300 K to find the exit velocity.

Answer:

The exit velocity is 629.41 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature, T₁ = 1200K

initial pressure, P₁ = 150 kPa

final pressure, P₂ = 80 kPa

specific heat at 300 K, Cp = 1004 J/kgK

k = 1.4

Calculate final temperature;

T_2 = T_1(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{k-1 }{k}

k = 1.4

T_2 = T_1(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{k-1 }{k}}\\\\T_2 = 1200(\frac{80}{150})^{\frac{1.4-1 }{1.4}}\\\\T_2 = 1002.714K

Work done is given as;

W = \frac{1}{2} *m*(v_i^2 - v_e^2)

inlet velocity is negligible;

v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2W}{m} } = \sqrt{2*C_p(T_1-T_2)} \\\\v_e = \sqrt{2*1004(1200-1002.714)}\\\\v_e = \sqrt{396150.288} \\\\v_e = 629.41  \ m/s

Therefore, the exit velocity is 629.41 m/s

For each of the following pairs of gas properties, describe the relationship between the properties, describe a simple system th
asambeis [7]

Answer:

For  each pair of properties of a gas, the relationships are (see the explanation for the description of the systems):

  1. (a) Volume and pressure: The relationship between them is inversely proportional.
  2. (b) Pressure and temperature: They have a directly proportional relationship.
  3. (c) Volume and temperature: They relationship is directly proportional.
  4. (d) Number of gas particles and pressure: The relationship is directly proportional between them.

Explanation:

1. Volume and pressure (temperature and amount of particles constant):

They have an inversely proportional relationship, because <em>if volume is reduced, the pressure increases, or if the volume increases, the pressure decreases</em>.

A simple system could be one similar to the one used by Boyle to test this relationship:

  • Seal the short extreme of a translucent J tube. It could be glass or plastic.
  • Put some water on it. As much as needed to have both sides of the tube filled.
  • Using a syringe, and a flexible small tube,inject a determined volume of air in the bottom in a way that the bubble is trapped in the seal side of the J tube.
  • Then if more water is added to the tube, it will increase the pressure (from the pressure definition is possible to in the trapped air, and is possible to measure the compression of the air bubble. The same is possible if using the syringe, and the flexible tube, some water is removed, and the increasing of volume could be observed.

2. Pressure and temperature (volume and amount of particles of the gas remains constant)

They have a directly proportional relationship, because <em>if temperature is reduced, the pressure decreases, or if the temperature increases, the pressure would increase, also</em>.

A simple system to show this is two cans of soda.

  • The can is rigid, so the volume is always constant, and the amount of gas inside the soda is the same.
  • Put one can under the sun, and the other in the cooler.
  • After a while, take it out the can in the cooler, and open both cans.
  • The one that was under the sun will "explode", in other words, it will liberate a lot of foam of gas and soda, meaning that the pressure inside the can was high.
  • The one that was in te cooler, won't liberate any foam, meaning that the pressure was low.

3. Volume and temperature (pressure and amount of particles of the gas remains constant)

They have a directly proportional relationship, because <em>if temperature is reduced, the pressure decreases, or if the temperature increases, the pressure will increase, also</em>.

A simple system to show this is a party balloon.

  • Fill the party balloon with some air, not enough to be close to explode, but enough to have it of a medium size. Tie the filling hole of the balloon.
  • The air inside the balloon would be at the same pressure than the atmosphere around it, so always will be at this pressure, and the close hole ensure that it has always the same amount of air inside.
  • Now is possible to use some heat source, for example as a hair dryer to increase the temperature of the balloon and its contents. The size of the balloon will increase. Then using water is possible to cool it down and watch how its size decreases.

4. Number of gas particles and pressure (volume and temperature of gas remains constant)

They have a directly proportional relationship, because <em>if the amount of gas particles is reduced, the pressure decreases, or if quantity of gas particles increases, the pressure will increase, also</em>.

A simple system to show this would be a bicycle tire:

  • The tire is rigid, so its volume is essentially constant, and the temperature would remains the same if not moving or driving it.
  • Using a tire gauge, it is possible to know the manometric pressure inside the tire, that is the difference between the actual pressure inside the tire and the atmospheric pressure.
  • Then each time that using an air pump some air is injected in the tire, it si possible to check the pressure inside it using the gauge, and observe how is increasing.
  • Also, is possible to open the valve, to allow some air to escape, then use the gauge to observe how the pressure decreases.

An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 3.10 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 6.10 m
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

10.93m/s with the assumption that the water in the lake is still (the water has a speed of zero)

Explanation:

The velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water surface is equal to the resultant velocity between the fish and the water when it hits it.

The fish drops on the water surface vertically with a vertical velocity v. Nothing was said about the velocity of the water, hence we can safely assume that the velocity if the water in the lake is zero, meaning that it is still. Therefore the relative velocity becomes equal to the velocity v with which the fish strikes the water surface.

We use the first equation of motion for a free-falling body to obtain v as follows;

v = u + gt....................(1)

where g is acceleration due to gravity taken as 9.8m/s/s

It should also be noted that the horizontal and vertical components of the motion are independent of each other, hence we take u = 0 as the fish falls vertically.

To obtain t, we use the second equation of motion as stated;

h=ut+gt^2/2.................(2)

Given; h = 6.10m.

since u = 0 for the vertical motion;  equation (2) can be written as follows;

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2............(3)

substituting;

6.1=\frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2\\6.1=4.9t^2\\hence\\t^2=6.1/4.9\\t^2=1.24\\t=\sqrt{1.24}=1.12s

Putting this value of t in equation (1) we obtain the following;

v = 0 + 9.8*1.12

v = 10.93m/s
