Considering conservation of mechanical energy we have:
K+U (start)= K+U (end)
Where:
K=kinetic energy= $\frac{1}{2}m v^{2}$
U=potential energy= $mgh$
So:
0.05*0.95*9.81+0 (start) = 0+K (end)
K (end)=0.5 Joules

Uphill escape ramps are sometimes provided to the side of steep downhill highways for trucks with overheated brakes. For a simpl

o-na [289]

Answer:

404.4 m

Explanation:

Converting the initial speed from km/h to m/s then

$140\times \frac {1000m}{3600s}=38.88888889 m/s \approx 38.89 m/s$

The acceleration is resolved as shown in the figure hence

deceleration of the truck along the inclined plane will be

$a=-g sin \theta$ where g is acceleration due to gravity

Substituting g with $9.81 m/s^{2}$ then

$a=-9.81 m/s^{2} sin 11^{\circ}=-1.871836245\approx -1.87 m/s^{2}$

Using kinematic equation

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$ and making s the subject then

$s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2a}$ where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively

Substituting 0 for v, 38.89 m/s for u and $-1.87 m/s^{2}$ then

$s=\frac {0^{2}-38.89^{2}}{2\times -1.87}=404.3936096 m\approx 404.4 m$

Answer:

<h3><u>Definition: Electromagnetic waves or EM waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, EM waves are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields. ... They are deflected neither by the electric field, nor by the magnetic field.</u></h3>

Two distinct systems have the same amount of stored internal energy. 500 J are added by heat to the first system and 300 J are a

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The change in the internal energy of the first system is 300 J

The second system will do zero work in order to have the same internal energy.

Explanation:

Given;

heat added to the first system, Q₁ = 500 J

heat added to the second system, Q₂ = 300 J

work done by the first system, W₁ = 200 J

The change in the internal energy of the system is given by the first law of thermodynamics;

ΔU = Q - W

where;

ΔU is the change in internal energy of the system

The change in the internal energy of the first system is calculated as;

ΔU₁ = Q₁ - W₁

ΔU₁ = 500 J - 200 J

ΔU₁ = = 300 J

The work done by the second system to have the same internal energy with the first.

ΔU₁ = Q₂ - W₂

W₂ = Q₂ - ΔU₁

W₂ = 300 J - 300 J

W₂ = 0

The second system will do zero work in order to have the same internal energy.

At a sudden contraction in a pipe the diameter changes from D 1 to D 2 . The pressure drop, Δ p , which develops across the cont

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Velocity in the smaller pipe should not be included as an additional variable.

Explanation:

$\Delta P = f(D_1, D_2, V, \rho, \mu)$

The dimensional formula of the variables are

$\Delta P = FL^{-2} , D_1 = L, D_2=L, V=LT_{-1}, \rho =FL^{-4}T^2, \mu = FL^{-2}T$

Now using Buchingham's Pi Theorem, 6 - 3 = 3 dimensional parameters are required.

Use, D_1, V, \mu as the repeating variables.

Therefore, $\pi = \Delta PD_1^aV^b \mu^c$

$(FL^{-2})(L)^a(LT^{-1})^b(FL^{-2}T)^c = F^0L^0T^0$

From this

1+c=0

-2+a+b-2c=0

-b+c=0

c=-1, b = -1, a = 1

Now, $\pi_1=\frac{\Delta PD_1}{V\mu}=\frac{(ML^{-1}T^{-2})L}{(LT^{-1})(ML^{-1}T^{-1})}=M^0L^0T^0$

For $\pi_2 = D_2D_1^aV^b\mu^c$

$F^0L^0T^0=L(L)^a(LT^{-1})^b(FL^{-2}T)^c$

c = 0

1 + a + b - 2c = 0

-b + c = 0

Therefore, a = -1, b = 0, c = 0

$\pi_2 = \frac{D_2}{D_1}$

For $\pi_3$

$\pi_3 = \rho, D_1^a V^b\mu^c$

$F^0L^0T^0 = (FL^{-4}T^2)(L)^a(LT^{-1})^b(FL^{-2}T)^c$

1 + c = 0

-4 + a + b - 2c = 0

2-b+c=0

c=-1, b=1, a = 1

Therefore, $\pi_3 = \frac{\rho D_1V}{\mu}$

Now checking,

$\pi_3 = \frac{(ML^{-3})(L)(LT^{-1})}{ML^{-1}T^{-1}} = M^0L^0T^0$

Therefore, $\frac{\Delta P D_1}{V \mu} = \phi (\frac{D_2}{D_1}, \frac{\rho D_1 V}{\mu})$

From continuity equation

$V\frac{\pi}{4}D_1^2 = V_s \frac{\pi}{4}D_2^2$

$V_s = V (\frac{D_1}{D_2})^2$

$V_s$ is not independent of $D_1,D_2, V$

Therefore it should not be included as an additional variable.
