Answer:

110 g

Explanation:

q = mCΔT

where q is heat, m is mass, C is specific heat capacity, and ΔT is change in temperature.

Given q = 250 J, C = 0.228 J/g/°C, and ΔT = 10.0 °C:

250 J = m (0.228 J/g/°C) (10.0 °C)

m = 110 g

Substitute 0.82 for n and 5219.83 for Wshaft0.82=Wpump/5219.83   Wpump=0.82*5219.83=4280.26 WCalculate the mass flow ratein=Wpump/(gz_2 )Where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and z_2 is the elevation of water. Substitute 4280.26 for Wpump, 9.81 m/s^2 for g, and 19m for z_2in = 4280.26 / 9.81 * 19 = 22.9640 m^3/sCalculate the volume flow rate of waterV=m/ρWhere ρ is the density of water. Substitute 22.9640  m^3/s for in and 1000  m^3/kg for ρ, we get V = 22.9640 / 1000 = 0.0230 kg/sTherefore, the volume flow rate of water is 0.0230 kg/s

Estimate how much solar energy reaches the earth per year (in Joule).
Alexxandr [17]

Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth.

In a year it is very hard to determine because of the night and different light levels.

A hunter aims at a deer which is 40 yards away. Her cross- bow is at a height of 5ft, and she aims for a spot on the deer 4ft ab
shutvik [7]

Answer:

a)  θ₁ = 0.487º , b)   t = 0.400 s ,        x = 11.73 ft

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the projectile launch relationships.

The initial height is I = 5 ft and the final height y = 4 ft

            y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

The distance to the band is x = 40 yard (3 ft / 1 yard) = 120 ft

            x = v₀ₓ t

            t = x / v₀ₓ

We replace

             y –y₀ = v_{oy} x / v₀ₓ - ½ g x² / v₀ₓ²

             v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

             v₀ₓ = vo cos θ

             

             y –y₀ = x tan θ - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² θ

                5-4 = 120 tan θ - ½ 32 120 / (300 2 cos2 θ)

                1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 sec² θ

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

               Sec² θ = 1 - tan² θ

                 1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 (1 –tan²θ)

                 0.0213 tan²θ + 120 tanθ -1.0213 = 0

                 

We change variables

          u = tan θ

          u² + 5633.8 u - 48.03 = 0

We solve the second degree equation

          u = [-5633.8 ±√(5633.8 2 + 4 48.03)] / 2

          u = [- 5633.8 ± 5633.82] / 2

           u₁ = 0.0085

           u₂= -5633.81

           u = tan θ

           θ = tan⁻¹ u

For u₁

           θ₁ = tan⁻¹ 0.0085

           θ₁ = 0.487º

For u₂

           θ₂ = -89.99º

The launch angle must be 0.487º

b) let's look for the time it takes for the arrow to arrive

         x = v₀ₓ t

         t = x / v₀ cos θ

         

         t = 120 / (300 cos 0.487)

         t = 0.400 s

The deer must be at a distance of

           v = 20 mph (5280 ft / 1 mi) (1 h / 3600s) = 29.33 ft / s

           x = v t

           x = 29.33 0.4

           x = 11.73 ft
