Answer:

The coefficient of performance for the cycle is 2.33.

Explanation:

Given that,

Output energy $Q_{out}=1000\ Btu$

Work done $W_{cycle}=300\ Btu$

We need to calculate the coefficient of performance

Using formula of the coefficient of performance

$COP=\dftrac{Q_{in}}{W_{cycle}}$

We need to calculate the $Q_{in}$

$W_{cycle}=Q_{out}-Q_{in}$

Put the value into the formula

$300=1000-Q_{in}$

$Q_{in}=300-1000$

$Q_{in}=700\ Btu$

Now put the value of $Q_{in}$ into the formula of COP

$COP=\dfrac{700}{300}$

$COP=\dfrac{7}{3}=2.33$

Hence, The coefficient of performance for the cycle is 2.33.

g A change in the initial _____ of a projectile changes the range and maximum height of the projectile.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Velocity.

Explanation:

Projectile motion is characterized as the motion that an object undergoes when it is thrown into the air and it is only exposed to acceleration due to gravity.

As per the question, 'any change in the initial velocity of the projectile(object having gravity as the only force) would lead to a change in the range as well as the maximum height of the projectile.' To illustrate numerically:

Horizontal range: As per expression:

R= ( $u^{2}$ *sin2θ)/g

the range depending on the square of the initial velocity.

Maximum height: As per expression:

H= ( $u^{2}$ * $sin^{2}$ θ )/2g

the maximum distance also depends upon square of the initial velocity.

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly to calculate the total mass of the can before the metal was lowered we need to add the mass of the eureka can and the mass of the water in the can. We don't know the mass of the water but we can easily find if we know the volume of the can. In order to calculate the volume we would have to multiply the area of the cross section by the height. So we do the following.

100 $cm^{2}$ x 10cm = 1000 $cm^{3}$

Now in order to find the mass that water has in this case we have to multiply the water's density by the volume, and so we get....

$\frac{1g}{cm^{3} }$ x 1000 $cm^{3}$ = 1000g or 1kg

Knowing this, we now can calculate the total mass of the can before the metal was lowered, by adding the mass of the water to the mass of the can. So we get....

1000g + 100g = 1100g or 1.1kg

The volume of the water that over flowed will be equal to the volume of the metal piece (since when we add the metal piece, the metal piece will force out the same volume of water as itself, to understand this more deeply you can read the about "Archimedes principle"). Knowing this we just have to calculate the volume of the metal piece an that will be the answer. So this time in order to find volume we will have to divide the total mass of the metal piece by its density. So we get....

20g ÷ $\frac{8g}{cm^{3} }$ = 2.5 $cm^{3}$

Now to find out the total mass of the can after the metal piece was lowered we would have to add the mass of the can itself, mass of the water inside the can, and the mass of the metal piece. We know the mass of the can, and the metal piece but we don't know the mass of the water because when we lowered the metal piece some of the water overflowed, and as a result the mass of the water changed. So now we just have to find the mass of the water in the can keeping in mind the fact that 2.5 $cm^{3}$ overflowed. So now we the same process as in number a) just with a few adjustments.

$\frac{1g}{cm^{3} }$ x (1000 $cm^{3}$ - 2.5 $cm^{3}$ ) = 997.5g

So now that we know the mass of the water in the can after we added the metal piece we can add all the three masses together (the mass of the can. the mass of the water, and the mass of the metal piece) and get the answer.

100g + 997.5g + 20g = 1117.5g or 1.1175kg

What is wrong with the following statement: When you exert a force on a baseball, the equal and opposite force on the ball balan

gregori [183]

Answer:

When you exert a force on a baseball, there exists an equal and opposite force on the ball therefore, the ball will accelerate in opposite direction.

Explanation:

When you hit a ball with baseball bat, the bat exerts a great force on the ball which causes the ball to accelerate in the opposite direction. It is to be noted that the mass of bat is much greater than mass of ball but the acceleration of ball is also greater than the acceleration of the bat so both bat and ball almost exert same magnitude of force but in opposite direction and as a result both bat and ball accelerate in opposite direction, the deciding factor is of course the relative force applied by the batter and the bowler.
