There is a 33% chance of a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon.

The two main concerns of a large earthquake are Gas fires and Tsunami .

Explanation:

Everytime a large earthquake hits in any other part of the world, We find a small earthquake hitting off the coast of Oregon.

So scientists feel that as United States is prone to Earthquakes, the people have to be prepared for such eventualities.

The main concern for this large earthquake is, that it might lead to gas leakages at homes that can start a gas fire, which might spread. So people have to be careful and check  on any gas leakages.

Such large earthquakes can also lead to tsunami waves. So people have to take precautions and evacuate, if they are near the coastline.

Discuss Joule-Thompson effect with relevant examples and formulae.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

\mu _j=\dfrac{1}{C_p}\left [T\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_p-v\right]dp

Explanation:

Joule -Thompson effect

 Throttling phenomenon is called Joule -Thompson effect.We know that throttling is a process in which pressure energy will convert in to thermal energy.

Generally in throttling exit pressure is low as compare to inlet pressure but exit temperature maybe more or less or maybe remains constant depending upon flow or fluid flow through passes.

Now lets take Steady flow process  

Let

 P_1,T_1 Pressure and temperature at inlet and

 P_2,T_2 Pressure and temperature at exit

We know that Joule -Thompson coefficient given as

\mu _j=\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial p}\right)_h

Now from T-ds equation

dh=Tds=vdp

So

Tds=C_pdt-\left [T\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_p\right]dp

⇒dh=C_pdt-\left [T\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_p-v\right]dp

So Joule -Thompson coefficient

\mu _j=\dfrac{1}{C_p}\left [T\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_p-v\right]dp

This is Joule -Thompson coefficient for all gas (real or ideal gas)

We know that for Ideal gas Pv=mRT

\dfrac{\partial v}{\partial T}=\dfrac{v}{T}

So by putting the values in

\mu _j=\dfrac{1}{C_p}\left [T\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_p-v\right]dp

\mu _j=0 For ideal gas.

A train starts from a station with a constant acceleration of at = 0.40 m/s2. A passenger arrives at the track time t = 6.0s aft
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

4.8 m/s  

Explanation:

When she catches the train,

  1. They will have travelled the same distance.and
  2. Their speeds will be equal

The formula for the distance covered by the train  is

d = ½at² = ½ × 0.40t² = 0.20t²

The passenger starts running at a constant speed 6 s later, so her formula is

d = v(t - 6.0)

The passenger and the train will have covered the same distance when she has caught it, so

(1) 0.20t² = v(t - 6.0)

The speed of the train is

v = at = 0.40t

The speed of the passenger is v.

(2) 0.40t = v

Substitute (2) into (1)

0.20t² = 0.40t(t - 6.0) = 0.40t² - 2.4 t

Subtract 0.20t² from each side

0.20t² - 2.4t = 0

Factor the quadratic

t(0.20t - 2.4) = 0

Apply the zero-product rule

t =0     0.20t - 2.4 = 0

                   0.20t = 2.4

(3)                      t = 12

We reject t = 0 s.

Substitute (3) into (2)

0.40 × 12 = v

            v = 4.8 m/s

The slowest constant speed at which she can run and catch the train is 4.8 m/s.

A plot of distance vs time shows that she will catch the train 6 s after starting. Both she and the train will have travelled 28.8 m. Her average speed is 28.8 m/6 s = 4.8 m/s.
