Hi!

The energy of the block is 4 m/s

To calculate this, you need to use the equation for kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

v= \sqrt{ \frac{2*Ke}{m}}=\sqrt{ \frac{2*20 (kg*m^{2}*s^{-2}) }{2,5kg}}=4 m/s

Have a nice day!

Oil of specific gravity 0.75 flows through a smooth contraction in a pipe at a volumetric flow rate of 3.2 cu ft / sec.Find the
pogonyaev

Answer:

The force required to hold the contraction in place is 665.91 N ↑

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of oil, γ = 0.75

Volumetric flow rate, V 3.2 Ft³/s = 0.0906 m³/s

\gamma =\frac{\rho_o}{\rho_w}

where;

\rho_o is the density of oil

\rho_w is the density of water = 1000 kg/m³

∴density of oil (\rho_o) = γ × density of water(\rho_w)

                               = 0.75 × 1000 kg/m³

                                = 750kg/m³

Buoyant Force = ρVg

                         = 750 × 0.0906 × 9.8

                         = 665.91 N ↑

This force acts upward or opposite gravitational force.

Therefore, the force required to hold the contraction in place is 665.91 N ↑

Define capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor and state one application of it in electric circuit?​
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is the quantity of charge the capacitor can hold.

This capacitance is proportional to the area of the any of the two plates (if the area of the plates are the same), or the smaller of the two plates (if the plates have different areas) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of separation (or thickness of the dielectric material) between the plates. It is mathematically expressed as;

C = Aε₀ / d

Where;

C = capacitance

A = Area of one of the plates.

d = distance between the plates

Some of the applications of capacitance (or simply a capacitor) in an electric circuit are;

i. For storage of electrostatic energy.

ii. For filtering and tuning of circuits.

What is the relation between Physical states of solution and solvent
posledela

Explanation:

The solute does not have to be in the same physical state as the solvent, but the physical state of the solvent usually determines the state of the solution. As long as the solute and solvent combine to give a homogeneous solution, the solute is said to be soluble in the solvent.
