As relay runner A enters the 65-ft-long exchange zone with a speed of 30 ft/s, he begins to slow down. He hands the baton to run

ner B 2.5 s later as they leave the exchange zone with the same veloc- ity. Determine (a) the uniform acceleration of each of the runners, (b) when runner B should begin to run.

Answer:

a_a = -3.2 ft/s^2   ,   a_b = 3.723 ft/s^2

t = 5.909 s

Explanation:

Given:

  - Initial velocity of A v_i,a = 30 ft /s

  - Initial distance s_o = 0

  - Length of the exchange zone s_f = 65 ft

  - Time taken t = 2.5 s

Start out by A's velocity as he gets to the end of the exchange zone.

Part a

Runner A decelerates at a uniform rate, so you can use the equation:

                           s_f = s_o + v_i,a*t + 0.5a_a*t^2

                        65 = 0 + 30*2.5 + 0.5*a_a*2.5^2

                                   a_a = -20 / 2.5^2

                                   a _a= -3.2 ft/s^2    

Runner B accelerates at v_f,a as final velocity at a uniform rate, so you can use the equation:

                              v_f,b^2 - v_i,b^2  = 2*a_b*s

                              a_b = (30 -3.2*2.5)^2 /2*65

                                   a_b = 3.723 ft/s^2

Part b

When Runner B should begin running:

                                t = (v_f,b - v_i,b) / a_b

                               t = (30 - 3.2*2.5) / 3.723

                                        t = 5.909 s

Water enters the constant 130-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7 MPa and 65°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 450°C wit
snow_lady [41]

The inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Explanation:

When water entering the tube of constant diameter flows through the tube, it exhibits continuity of mass in the hydrostatics. So the mass of water moving from the inlet to the outlet tend to be same, but the velocity may differ.

As per mass flow equality which states that the rate of flow of mass in the inlet is equal to the product of area of the tube with the velocity of the water and the density of the tube.

Since, the inlet volume flow is measured as the product of velocity with the area.

Inlet volume flow=Inlet velocity*Area*time

And the mass flow rate is  

Mass flow rate in the inlet=density*area*inlet velocity*time

Mass flow rate in the outlet=density*area*outlet velocity*time

Since, the time and area is constant, the inlet and outlet will be same as

(Mass inlet)/(density*inlet velocity)=Area*Time

(Mass outlet)/(density*outlet velocity)=Area*Time

As the ratio of mass to density is termed as specific volume, then  

(Specific volume inlet)/(Inlet velocity)=(Specific volume outlet)/(Outlet velocity)

Inlet velocity=  (Specific volume inlet)/(Specific volume outlet)*Outlet velocity

As, the specific volume of water at inlet is 0.001017 m³/kg and at outlet is 0.05217 m³/kg and the outlet velocity is given as 72 m/s, the inlet velocity

is

Inlet velocity = \frac{0.001017}{0.05217}*72 =1.4035 m/s

So, the inlet velocity is 1.4035 m/s.

Then the inlet volume will be

Inlet volume = inlet velocity*area of circle=\pi  r^{2}*inlet velocity

As the diameter of tube is 130 mm, then the radius is 65 mm and inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s

Inlet volume = 1.4*3.14*65*65*10^{-6} =0.019 \frac{m^{3} }{s}

So, the inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Thus, the inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

an object is placed 20cm from a converging lens. If the real image is formed 80cm from the object, what is the focal length of t
masya89 [10]

Explanation:

Here,

object distance(u)=20cm

image distance(v)=80cm-20cm=60cm

focal length(f)=?

we know ,

(1/f)=(1/v)+(1/u)

1/f = 1/60 + 1/20

1/f = (1+3)/60

60 =4f

f=15cm
