Part a

Answer: 17.58 km/h

Average speed=\frac{Total\hspace{1mm}Distance}{Total\hspace{1mm}Time}

Total Distance =10 km

Total time =0.5689 h

\Rightarrow Average speed=\frac{10\hspace{1mm}km}{0.5689\hspace{1mm}h}=17.6 \hspace{1mm}km/h

Part b

Answer: 17.626 km/h

Average speed=\frac{Total\hspace{1mm}Distance}{Total\hspace{1mm}Time}

Total Distance =42.195 km

Total time =2.3939 h

\Rightarrow Average speed=\frac{42.195\hspace{1mm}km}{2.3939\hspace{1mm}h}=17.626\hspace{1mm}km/h

A system of releases 125kJ of heat while 104kJ of work is done in the system. Calcilate the change om imternal energy (in kJ)
artcher [175]

Answer:

DU = 21 KJ

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of heat = 125 KJ

Work = 104 KJ

To find the change in internal energy;

Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;

DU = Q - W

Where;

DU is the change in internal energy.

Q is the quantity of energy.

W is the work done.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

DU = 125 - 104

DU = 21 KJ

If the potential across two parallel plates, separated by 4.0 cm, is 15.0 V, what is the electric field strength in volts per me
abruzzese [7]

Field strength = (15 V) / (4 cm)

Field strength = (15 V) / (0.04 meter)

Field strength = (15/0.04) (volts/meter)

<em>Field strength = 375 volts/meter </em>

Air enters a nozzle steadily at 2.21 kg/m3 and 20 m/s and leaves at 0.762 kg/m3 and 150 m/s. If the inlet area of the nozzle is
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

a) The mass flow rate through the nozzle is 0.27 kg/s.

b) The exit area of the nozzle is 23.6 cm².

Explanation:

a) The mass flow rate through the nozzle can be calculated with the following equation:

\dot{m_{i}} = \rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i}

Where:

v_{i}: is the initial velocity = 20 m/s

A_{i}: is the inlet area of the nozzle = 60 cm²  

\rho_{i}: is the density of entrance = 2.21 kg/m³

\dot{m} = \rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i} = 2.21 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}*20 \frac{m}{s}*60 cm^{2}*\frac{1 m^{2}}{(100 cm)^{2}} = 0.27 kg/s  

Hence, the mass flow rate through the nozzle is 0.27 kg/s.

b) The exit area of the nozzle can be found with the Continuity equation:

\rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i} = \rho_{f} v_{f}A_{f}

0.27 kg/s = 0.762 kg/m^{3}*150 m/s*A_{f}

A_{f} = \frac{0.27 kg/s}{0.762 kg/m^{3}*150 m/s} = 0.00236 m^{2}*\frac{(100 cm)^{2}}{1 m^{2}} = 23.6 cm^{2}

Therefore, the exit area of the nozzle is 23.6 cm².

I hope it helps you!

At a given time of​ day, the ratio of the height of an object to the length of its shadow is the same for all objects. If a 4​-f
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:35.2 ft

Explanation:

Given

height of stick =4 ft

shadow length =2.8 ft

Angle of elevation of sun is

tan\theta =\frac{4}{2.8}

let the height of tree be h

as \thetawill remain same thus

tan\theta =\frac{h}{24.64}

\frac{4}{2.8}=\frac{h}{24.64}

h=35.2 ft
