A heater gives off heat at a rate of 330 kj/min. what is the rate of heat output in kilocalories per hour? (1 cal 4.184 j)

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: 4732.3135 kcal/hour

To answer this question you need to convert the kj into kcalorie then convert the min into hour. Becareful because 1 kilocalories = 1000 calories = 4.184 kjoule.
The calculation would be:
330kj/min x (1kilocalorie/4.184kj) x 60 min/hour= 4732.3135 kcal/hour

In a standard tensile test a steel rod of 22-mm diameter is subjected to a tension force of 75kN. Knowing that v = 0.30 and E =

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

(a) Elongation of rod = 0.19732 mm

(b) Change in diameter = 0.00651 mm

Explanation:

Circular area at end of steel rod = pi * diameter^2 / 4

$Area = pi * (22 * 10^-^3)/4$

Area = 3.801 * 10^(-4) meter squared

Stress = force / area

Stress = 75000 / (3.801 * 10^-4)

Stress = 197316495 Pa OR 0.197 GPa

Modulus of elasticity = stress / strain

200 = 0.19732 / Strain

Strain = 0.0009866 (longitudinal)

(a) Strain = change in length / initial length

0.0009866 = Elongation of rod / 200

Elongation of rod = 0.19732 mm

(b) Poisson ratio = lateral strain / longitudinal strain

0.3 = lateral strain / 0.0009866

Lateral strain = 0.000296

Lateral strain = Change in diameter / original diameter

0.000296 = Change in diameter / 22

Change in diameter = 0.00651 mm

What is the difference between each distance traveled and displacement travled

-BARSIC- [3]

Displacement is a vector magnitude that depends on the position of the body which is individualistic for the trajectory.

While, Distance is a scalar magnitude that measures over the trajectory.

Imagine that asteroid A that has an escape velocity of 50 m/s. If asteroid B has twice the mass and twice the radius, it would h

padilas [110]

Answer:

The same as the escape velocity of asteorid A (50m/s)

Explanation:

The escape velocity is described as follows:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

where $G$ is the universal gravitational constant, $M$ is the mass of the asteroid and $R$ is the radius

and since the scape velocity is 50m/s:

$50m/s=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

Now, if the astroid B has twice mass and twice the radius, we have that tha mass is: $2M$

and the radius is: $2R$

inserting these values into the formula for escape velocity:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2G(2M)}{2R} } =\sqrt{\frac{4GM}{2R} } =\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

and we have found that $50m/s=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$ , so the two asteroids have the same escape velocity.

We found that the expression for escape velocity remains the same as for asteroid A, this because both quantities (radius and mass) doubled, so it does not affect the equation.

The answer is

Asteroid B would have an escape velocity the same as the escape velocity of asteroid A

Does this diagram illustrate the second law of thermodynamics? Why or why not

Savatey [412]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The diagram is not showing the second law of thermodynamics. It is the demonstration of 1st law of thermodynamics.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Second law of thermodynamics describes the entropy of the system increase with time, it does not decrease with time. It is constant for ideal systems.

While in first law of thermodynamics, it is stated that the energy of a system can not be lost but it is transferred from one form to other form.

And in this picture, it is shown that the energy released from heat source to cold sink is used in doing work.

Work and heat are forms of energy.
