Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

Mudstone is not stable enough, sandstone is a little more but not enough, unconsolidated sediment just won't, out of the four granite works best. :)

0.5-lbm of a saturated vapor is converted to asaturated liquid by being cooled in a weighted piston-cylinder device maintained a

klio [65]

Answer:

The boiling point temperature of this substance when its pressure is 60 psia is 480.275 R

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using the Clapeyron equation

$(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } = \frac{h_{fg}}{Tv_{fg}}$

$(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } = \frac{\frac{H_{fg}}{m} }{T\frac{V_{fg}}{m} }$

where $h_{fg$ is the change in enthalpy of saturated vapor to saturated liquid ( 250 Btu

T is the temperature ( 15 + 460 )R

m is the mass of water ( 0.5 Ibm )

$V_{fg$ is specific volume ( 1.5 ft³ )

we substitute

$(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } =( \frac{250Btu\frac{778Ibf-ft}{Btu} }{0.5})$ / $( (15+460)\frac{1.5}{0.5})$

$(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } =$ 272.98 Ibf-ft²/R

Now,

$(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } =$ $(\frac{P_2 - P_1}{T_2 - T_1})_{sat$

where P₁ is the initial pressure ( 50 psia )

P₂ is the final pressure ( 60 psia )

T₁ is the initial temperature ( 15 + 460 )R

T₂ is the final temperature = ?

we substitute;

$T_2$ $= ( 15 + 460 ) + \frac{(60-50)psia(\frac{144in^2}{ft^2}) }{272.98}$

$T_2 = 475 + 5.2751\\$

$T_2 =$ 480.275 R

Therefore, boiling point temperature of this substance when its pressure is 60 psia is 480.275 R

A 120 kg tackler moving at 3.0 m/s meets head-on (and tackles) a 91 kg halfback moving at 7.5 m/s. What will be their mutual vel

Vesna [10]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the tackler, m₁ = 120 kg

Velocity of tackler, u₁ = 3 m/s

Mass, m₂ = 91 kg

Velocity, u₂ = -7.5 m/s

We need to find the mutual velocity immediately the collision. It is the case of inelastic collision such that,

$v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$v=\dfrac{120\ kg\times 3\ m/s+91\ kg\times (-7.5\ m/s)}{120\ kg+91\ kg}$

v = -1.5 m/s

Hence, their mutual velocity after the collision is 1.5 m/s and it is moving in the same direction as the halfback was moving initially. Hence, this is the required solution.

A radar station detects an airplane approaching directly from the east. At first observation, the range to the plane is 375.0 m

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

819.78 m

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

OA = range of initial position of the airplane from the point of observation = 375 m
OB = range of the final position of the airplane from the point of observation = 797 m
$\theta$ = angle of the initial position vector from the observation point = $43^\circ$
$\alpha$ = angle of the final position vector from the observation point = $123^\circ$
$\vec{AB}$ = displacement vector from initial position to the final position

A diagram has been attached with the solution in order to clearly show the position of the plane.

$\vec{OA} = OA\cos \theta \hat{i}+OA \sin \theta \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = 375\ m\cos 43^\circ \hat{i}+375\ m\sin 43^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = (274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\vec{OB} = OB\cos \alpha \hat{i}+OB \sin \alpha \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = 797\ m\cos 123^\circ \hat{i}+797\ m\sin 123^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m$

Displacement vector of the airplane will be the shortest line joining the initial position of the airplane to the final position of the airplane which is given by:

$\vec{AB}=\vec{OB}-\vec{OA}\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} = (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m-(274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} = (-708.34\ \hat{i}+412.67\ \hat{j})\ m$

The magnitude of the displacement vector = $\sqrt{(-708.34)^2+(412.67)^2}\ m = 819.78\ m$

Hence, the magnitude of the displacement of the plane is 819.67 m during the period of observation.

A cardinal (Richmondena cardinalis) of mass 4.20×10−2 kg and a baseball of mass 0.146 kg have the same kinetic energy. What is t

bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of cardinal, $m_c=4.2\times 10^{-2}\ kg$

Mass of baseball, $m_b=0.146\ kg$

Both cardinal and baseball have same kinetic energy. We need to find the ratio of the cardinal's magnitude $p_c$ of momentum to the magnitude $p_c$ of the baseball's momentum.
