If it takes 42 minutes to load 3 1/2 trucks, how many minutes will it take to load 6 1/2 trucks?

1 answer:

6 0

If it takes 42 minutes to load 3 1/2 trucks, then it takes 42 / 3.5 = 12 minutes to load a single truck. Multiplying the number of minutes per truck by 6.5 yields the time it will take to load. In this case 12 x 6.5 = 78 minutes would be required to load 6 1/2 trucks. The formula for the time taken is t = 12n, where t is the time in minutes and n is the number of trucks.

Mars has twice the mass of Mercury and is 4 times further away from the Sun. Calculate theratio of the gravitational force from

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

F(Mars) = 2 G m M / (4 R)^2 force of Sun on Mars

F(Merc) = G m M / R^2 force of force of Sun on Mercury

R = distance of Sun from Mercury, m = mass of Mercury

F(Merc) / F(Mars) = 4^2 / 2 = 8

Air as an ideal gas enters a diffuser operating at steady state at 5 bar, 280 K with a velocity of 510 m/s. The exit velocity is

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculating the exit temperature for K = 1.4

The value of $c_p$ is determined via the expression:

$c_p = \frac{KR}{K_1}$

where ;

R = universal gas constant = $\frac{8.314 \ J}{28.97 \ kg.K}$

k = constant = 1.4

$c_p = \frac{1.4(\frac{8.314}{28.97} )}{1.4 -1}$

$c_p= 1.004 \ kJ/kg.K$

The derived expression from mass and energy rate balances reduce for the isothermal process of ideal gas is :

$0=(h_1-h_2)+\frac{(v_1^2-v_2^2)}{2}$ ------ equation(1)

we can rewrite the above equation as :

$0 = c_p(T_1-T_2)+ \frac{(v_1^2-v_2^2)}{2}$

$T_2 =T_1+ \frac{(v_1^2-v_2^2)}{2 c_p}$

where:

$T_1 = 280 K \\ \\ v_1 = 510 m/s \\ \\ v_2 = 120 m/s \\ \\c_p = 1.0004 \ kJ/kg.K$

$T_2= 280+\frac{((510)^2-(120)^2)}{2(1.004)} *\frac{1}{10^3}$

$T_2 = 402.36 \ K$

Thus, the exit temperature = 402.36 K

The exit pressure is determined by using the relation: $\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^\frac{k}{k-1}$

$P_2=P_1(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^\frac{k}{k-1}$

$P_2 = 5 (\frac{402.36}{280} )^\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}$

$P_2 = 17.79 \ bar$

Therefore, the exit pressure is 17.79 bar

Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does

Strike441 [17]

Answer: Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does? The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.
