Answer:

50 Ohms

Explanation:

Given that

the original resistance of the wire is 2 ohms, then

it is known that the equivalent resistance in a parallel circuit is

1/R(eq) = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4 + 1/R5.......+ 1/Rn

Giving that there are 5 pieces, then we stop at number 5.

Since R(eq) is 2, we substitute for that, and then we have

1/2 = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R + 1/R + 1/R

1/2 = 5/R

R = 5 * 2

R = 10 ohms

Since each R is 10 ohms, and the wire was cut into 5 pieces, we can then say that the original resistance of the wire is

R + R + R + R + R

10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10

total original resistance is 50 Ohms

If the velocity of an object is 9 m/s and its momentum is 72 kgm/s, what is its mass

MAVERICK [17]

An object with a velocity (v) of 9 m/s and a linear momentum (p) of 72 kg.m/s, has a mass (m) of 8 kg.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

In Newtonian mechanics, linear momentum, or simply momentum, is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.

It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction.

The mathematical expression for momentum is:

p = m . v

where,

p is the linear momentum of the object.
m is the mass of the object.
v is the velocity of the object.

An object has a velocity (v) of 9 m/s and its linear momentum (p) is 72 kg.m/s. We will use the definition of linear momentum to calculate the mass of the object.

p = m . v

m = p / v

m = (72 kg.m/s) / (9 m/s) = 8 kg

An object with a velocity (v) of 9 m/s and a linear momentum (p) of 72 kg.m/s, has a mass (m) of 8 kg.

A piston–cylinder device with a set of stops initially contains 0.6 kg of steam at 1.0 MPa and 400°C. The location of the stops

Ilya [14]

Answer:

(a) Compression work at the final state with a pressure of 1(MPa) is: 44.32(KJ), (b) Compression work at the final state with a pressure of 500(KPa): 110.37(KJ) and (c) temperaure of the final state in part b: T=151.83(°C).

Explanation:

Remember that the substance is steam so it's water (H2O) and the initial conditions are $P_{1} =1MPa, T_{1}=400^{0}C, m=0.6Kg$ and $v_{2} =0.4v_{1}$ from a saturated water table and the initial conditions we can determine that the state phase is superheated (see Table 1 attached) because the $T_{sat}=179.88^{0} C \leq T_{1}$ from the table 1 we get: $v_{1} =0.30661(m^{3}/Kg)$ . Now we have second conditions as: $P_{2}=1(MPa), T_{2}=250^{0}C$ so from the same table we can see the state still superheated and we get $v_{2}=0.23275(m^{3}/Kg)$ , knowing that it's a isobaric process we can find the compression's work as: $W_{b}=m*P(v_{2}-v_{1})=0.6*1000*(0.23275-0.30661)=-44.32(KJ)$ so the compressor's work is: 44.32(KJ). (b) Then the piston reaches the stop and there are two processes in this stage, so Process 1 is isobaric and: $W_{1}=m*P*(v_{2}-v_{1}) =0.6*1000*(0.4*0.30661-0.30661)=-110.38(KJ)$ and the second process is isochoric: $W_{2}=zero$ ,now $W_{b}=W_{1}+ W_{2} =110.38+0=110.38(KJ)$ . Finally to get the temperarure at the final state in part (b) we get: $v_{2} =0.4v_{1} =0.4*0.30661=0.122644(m^{3}/Kg), P_{2}=500(KPa)$ from table 2 (see attached) we compare $v_{f}$ and $v_{g}$ at the saturated water table and find the following: $v_{f}=0.001093(m^{3}/Kg)$ , so we know that the final state phase is a satured mixture and we get the temperature at the final state as: $T_{2} =T_{sat} =151.83^{0}C$ .
