The centripetal force is the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Moon.

Also, the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Sun is the centripetal force that causes the Earth to stay in orbit around the Sun.

Also, the gravitational force of attraction between a TV satellite, a weather satellite, or a GPS satellite and the Earth is the centripetal force that causes each satellite to stay in orbit around the Earth.

Ammonia enters the expansion valve of a refrigeration system at a pressure of 10 bar and a temperature of 22oC and exits at 2.0
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The  the quality of the refrigerant at the exit of the expansion valve is 0.179.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial pressure = 10 bar

Temperature = 22°C

Final pressure = 2.0 bar

We using the value of h

h = 293.4\ kJ/kg

The refrigerant during expansion undergoes a throttling process

Therefore, h_{1}=h_{2}

We need to calculate the quality of the refrigerant at the exit of the expansion valve

At 2.0 bar,

The property of ammonia

h_{f}=47.8 kJ/kg

h_{g}=1417.7 kJ/kg

Using formula

h_{2}=h_{f}+x(h_{g}-h_{f})

Put the value into the formula

293.4 =47.8+x(1417.7-47.8)

x=\dfrac{293.4-47.8}{1417.7-47.8}

x=0.179

Hence, The  the quality of the refrigerant at the exit of the expansion valve is 0.179.

A student performing a double-slit experiment is using a green laser with a wavelength of 550 nm. She is confused when the m = 5
sweet [91]

Answer:

d = 52 μm

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the light source (λ)= 550 nm

distance to form interference pattern(D) = 1.5 m

y = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

width of the slits = ?

now, using displacement formula

 y = \dfrac{m\lambda\ D}{d}

for the first maxima, m = 1

 d = \dfrac{1\times \lambda\ D}{y}

 d = \dfrac{1\times  550 \times 10^{-9}\times 1.5}{0.016}

       d = 5.2 x 10⁻⁶ m

       d = 52 μm

hence, the width of her slits is equal to d = 52 μm
