Answer:

woolen clothes in winter because woolen clothes gives us warmth. ... We should wear light colored clothes in summer because light coloured clothes keeps us cool as they insulate the heat. And cotton clothes makes us comfortable in summers and cotton clothes absorb the sweat which we get mostly in summers

Answer:

Cotton clothes are thin and do not have space in which air can be trapped. Thus, cotton clothes do not prevent heat coming out of our body. Woollen clothes keep us warm during winter because wool is a poor conductor of heat and it has air trapped in between the fibres.

A 1400 kg car traveling at 17.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4700 kg truck that is at rest. The car and truck stick together
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Final velocity = 7.677 m/s

KE before crash = 202300 J

KE after crash = 182,702.62 J

Explanation:

We are given;

m1 = 1400 kg

m2 = 4700 kg

u1 = 17 m/s

u2 = 0 m/s

Using formula for inelastic collision, we have;

m1•u1 + m2•u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where v is final velocity after collision.

Plugging in the relevant values;

(1400 × 17) + (4700 × 0) = (1400 + 1700)v

23800 = 3100v

v = 23800/3100

v = 7.677 m/s

Kinetic energy before crash = ½ × 1400 × 17² = 202300 J

Kinetic energy after crash = ½(1400 + 1700) × 7.677² = 182,702.62 J

Air, considered an ideal gas, is contained in an insulated piston-cylinder assembly outfitted with a paddle wheel. It is initial
Maru [420]

Our data are,

State 1:

P_1= 10psi=68.95kPa\\V_1 = 1ft^3=0.02831m^3\\T_1 = 100\°F = 310.93K

State 2:

P_2 =5psi=34.474kPa\\V_2 = 3ft^3=0.0899m^3

We know as well that 3BTU=3.16kJ/K

To find the mass we apply the ideal gas formula, which is given by

P_1V_1=mRT_1

Re-arrange for m,

m= \frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}\\m= \frac{68.95*0.02831}{(0.287)310.9}\\m=0.021893kg=0.04806lbm\\

Because of the pressure, temperature and volume ratio of state 1 and 2, we have to

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

Replacing,

T_2 = \frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1}T_1\\T_2 =\frac{34.474*0.0844}{68.95*0.02831}*310.93\\T_2 = 464.217K=375.5\°F

For conservative energy we have, (Cv = 0.718)

W = m C_v = 0.718  \Delta T +dw\\dw = W - mv\Delta T\\dw = 3.16-(0.0218*0.718)(454.127-310.93)\\dw = 0.765kJ=0.72BTU
