Michael tells Sara he weighs 104 pounds. Sara says she is 44 kilograms. If there are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram, who is heavier?

Why are computer simulations useful in studying phenomena in the universe?

kenny6666 [7]

Computer simulation is useful because it helps in the prediction of what will likely happen in the future using data from past events.

<h3>What is computer simulation?</h3>

This is the use of computer models to represents a hypothetical scenarios that are likely to be obtained in the real world.

Computer simulations are useful in studying phenomena in the universe because they help us to achieve the followings;

It helps in the prediction of what will likely happen in the future using data from past events.
It saves cost and time of carrying out actual experiments.
It can help prevent a disaster that may occur in the future.

a. 2.00kg object is subject to three force that gives acceleration a =8m/s^2 i +6m/s j if two of three forces are f1 =(30.0N)+(1

tekilochka [14]

By Newton's second law, the net force on the object is

∑ F = m a

∑ F = (2.00 kg) (8 i + 6 j ) m/s^2 = (16.0 i + 12.0 j ) N

Let f be the unknown force. Then

∑ F = (30.0 i + 16 j ) N + (-12.0 i + 8.0 j ) N + f

=> f = (-2.0 i - 12.0 j ) N

Answer:

Explanation:

Dear Student, this question is incomplete, and to attempt this question, we have attached the complete copy of the question in the image below. Please, Kindly refer to it when going through the solution to the question.

To objective is to find the:

(i) required heat exchanger area.

(ii) flow rate to be maintained in the evaporator.

Given that:

water temperature = 300 K

At a reasonable depth, the water is cold and its temperature = 280 K

The power output W = 2 MW

Efficiency $\zeta$ = 3%

where;

$\zeta = \dfrac{W_{out}}{Q_{supplied }}$

$Q_{supplied } = \dfrac{2}{0.03} \ MW$

$Q_{supplied } = 66.66 \ MW$

However, from the evaporator, the heat transfer Q can be determined by using the formula:

Q = UA(L MTD)

where;

$LMTD = \dfrac{\Delta T_1 - \Delta T_2}{In (\dfrac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2} )}$

Also;

$\Delta T_1 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 300 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 10 \ K$

$\Delta T_2 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 292 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 2\ K$

$LMTD = \dfrac{10 -2}{In (\dfrac{10}{2} )}$

$LMTD = \dfrac{8}{In (5)}$

LMTD = 4.97

Thus, the required heat exchanger area A is calculated by using the formula:

$Q_H = UA (LMTD)$

where;

U = overall heat coefficient given as 1200 W/m².K

$66.667 \times 10^6 = 1200 \times A \times 4.97 \\ \\ A= \dfrac{66.667 \times 10^6}{1200 \times 4.97} \\ \\ \mathbf{A = 11178.236 \ m^2}$

The mass flow rate:

$Q_{H} = mC_p(T_{in} -T_{out} ) \\ \\ 66.667 \times 10^6= m \times 4.18 (300 -292) \\ \\ m = \dfrac{ 66.667 \times 10^6}{4.18 \times 8} \\ \\ \mathbf{m = 1993630.383 \ kg/s}$

Each bat can produce different frequencies of ultrasound. Explain why this is useful if there are many bats hunting together.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer: Although low frequency sound travels further than high-frequency sound, calls at higher frequencies give the bats more detailed information--such as size, range, position, speed and direction of a prey's flight. Thus, these sounds are used more often.

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g

Liula [17]

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
   Distance = (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected
if ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.                                                      D = (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by 2 :         2 D =            g    t²

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t²

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)

Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:

-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'

   and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .--

They don't change by the same factor, because 1/g is inside the square root. So 't' changes the same amount as √1/g does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly 1/6 the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by √6 = 2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.
