When it is necessary to switch on an electrical current from a remote location, which devices could be used?

A classic example is a remote control. The mechanical force exerted by pressing the switches produces electric current (often times creating the electrical continuity of contacts when switch is pressed) within the remote control device allowing it to send radio signals to the receiver.

Answer: Remote control.

Explanation: The most classical example of a device that is used with this objective is the remote control (or clicker).

While the first remote controls used ultrasonic pulses, nowadays they use infrared radiation (there are other types, but this is the most common one), this is what allows them to work from distance. There are "codes" in the radiation that are read by a "camera" and are interpreted for things like turn on the power (and other things, maybe control a drone, change the channel, etc).

The drawing shows a large cube (mass = 28.6 kg) being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

P= 454.11 N

Explanation:

Since P is the only horizontal force acting on the system, it can be defined as the product of the acceleration by the total mass of the system (both cubes).

P= (M+m)*a\\a = \frac{P}{28.6 +4.3}\\a = \frac{P}{32.9}

The friction force between both cubes (F) is defined as the normal force acting on the smaller cube multiplied by the coefficient of static friction. Since both cubes are subject to the same acceleration:

F = m * a*\mu \\F= 4.3*0.710*\frac{P}{32.9}\\F=3.053*\frac{P}{32.9}

In order for the small cube to not slide down, the friction force must equal the weight of the small cube:

3.053*\frac{P}{32.9} = 4.3 * g\\\\P = \frac{4.3*9.8*32.9}{3.053} \\P= 454.11 N

The smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward is 454.11 N

Is it proper to use an infinitely long cylinder model when finding the temperatures near the bottom or top surfaces of a cylinde
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

No, it is not proper to use an infinitely long cylinder model when finding the temperatures near the bottom or top surfaces of a cylinder.

Explanation:

A cylinder is said to be infinitely long when is of a sufficient length. Also, when the diameter of the cylinder is relatively small compared to the length, it is called infinitely long cylinder.

Cylindrical rods can also be treated as infinitely long when dealing with heat transfers at locations far from the top or bottom surfaces. However, it not proper to treat the cylinder as being infinitely long when:

* When the diameter and length are comparable (i.e have the same measurement)

When finding the temperatures near the bottom or top of a cylinder, it is NOT PROPER TO USE AN INFINITELY LONG CYLINDER because heat transfer at those locations can be two-dimensional.

Therefore, the answer to the question is NO, since it is not proper to use an infinitely long cylinder when finding temperatures near the bottom or top of a cylinder.

Determine the power that needs to besupplied by the fanifthe desired velocity is 0.05 m3/s and the cross-sectional area is 20 cm
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A fan with an energy efficiency of 30 % would need 62.5 watts to bring a desired volume flow of 0.05 cubic meters per second through a cross-sectional area of 20 square centimeters.

Explanation:

Complete statement is: <em>Determine the power that needs to besupplied by the fan if the desired velocity is 0.05 cubic meters per second and the cross-sectional area is 20 square centimeters.</em>

From Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics we know that fans are devices that work at steady state which accelerate gases (i.e. air) with no changes in pressure. In this case, mechanical rotation energy is transformed into kinetic energy. If we include losses due to mechanical friction, the Principle of Energy Conservation presents the following equation:

\eta\cdot \dot W = \dot K

\dot W = \frac{\dot K}{\eta} (Eq. 1)

Where:

\eta - Efficiency of fan, dimensionless.

\dot W - Electric power supplied fan, measured in watts.

\dot K - Rate of change of kinetic energy of air in time, measured in watts.

From definition of kinetic energy, the equation above is now expanded:

\dot W = \frac{\rho_{a}\cdot \dot V}{2\cdot \eta}\cdot \left(\frac{\dot V}{A_{s}} \right)^{2} (Eq. 2)

Where:

\rho_{a} - Density of air, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

\dot V - Volume flow, measured in cubic meters per second.

A_{s} - Cross-sectional area of fan, measured in square meters.

If we know that \rho_{a} = 1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, \dot V = 0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}, \eta = 0.3 and A_{s} = 20\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}, the power needed to be supplied by the fan is:

\dot K = \left[\frac{\left(1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} \right)}{2\cdot (0.3)} \right]\cdot \left(\frac{0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} }{20\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}} \right)^{2}

\dot K = 62.5\,W

A fan with an energy efficiency of 30 % would need 62.5 watts to bring a desired volume flow of 0.05 cubic meters per second through a cross-sectional area of 20 square centimeters.
