Answer:

A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes, they break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria. If the cell is damaged beyond repair, lysosomes can help it to self-destruct in a process called programmed cell death, or apoptosis.

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.

A +12 Î¼C charge and -8 Î¼C charge are 4 cm apart. Find the magnitude and direction of the E-field at the point midway between t

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Charge of first Particle $q_1=+12\ \mu C$

Charge of second Particle $q_2=-8\ \mu C$

distance between them $d=4\ cm$

$k=9\times 10^{9}$

magnetic field due to first charge at mid-way between two charged particles is

$E_1=\frac{kq_1}{r^2}$

$r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2\ cm$

$E_1=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 12\times 10^{-6}}{(2\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$E_1=27\times 10^7\ N/C$ (away from it)

Electric field due to $q_2=-8\ \mu C$

$E_2=\frac{kq_2}{r^2}$

$E_2=-\frac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-6}}{(2\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$E_2=-18\times 10^7\ N/C$ (towards it)

$E_{net}=E_1+E_2$

$E_{net}=9\times 10^7\ N/C$ (away from first charge)

A positive charge moving up enters a magnetic field pointing out of the screen. What is the direction of the magnetic force on t

erma4kov [3.2K]

According to the right-hand thumb rule, the forefinger gives the velocity of charge, the thumb gives the magnetic force and the center finger gives the direction of magnetic field.

then, as shown in the picture, the <span>direction of the magnetic force on the charge is in the right direction.</span>

How much energy is used for boiling water in a 4 KW kettle for 20 minutes.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:About 860,000 results (1.08 seconds)

kettle-power

Jun 18, 2014 — It's interesting to see how much energy heating and cooling systems use ... the kettle uses goes into the water it costs more to use electricity to boil ... 3 minutes is 1/20 of an hour, so 2.4kW for 3 minutes is equivalent to 2.4 / 20 = 0.12kWh. ... kettle should NOT clock over 1kw/h in the 4 minutes it takes to boil
