Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height
= 2.5 x 9.8 x 2.2
= 53.9 J.

Hope this helps!

A grinding wheel is a uniform cylinder with a radius of 8.65 cm and a mass of 0.400 kg . Calculate its moment of inertia about i

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

I = 1.5*10⁻³ kg*m²

Explanation:

It can be showed that the moment of inertia (or rotational inertia) for a uniform cylinder of mass m and radius r, respect an longitudinal axis going through its center (parallel to the height of the cylinder) can be written as follows:

$I = \frac{1}{2}*m*r^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*0.400 kg*(0.0865m)^{2} = 1.5e-3 kg*m2$

(25 pts) Estimate how much collector area and storage capacity would be required for an active solar hot-water system designed t

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The required total area is 1.48 m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Latitude = 44+° N

New Mexico,

Latitude= 35+° N

Heat capacity = 4200 J/Kg°C

Temperature = 60°C

Let us assume the input temperature 22°C

Estimate volume of water 100 ltr for 4 person.

We need to calculate the heat

Using formula of heat

$H=mc_{p}\Delta T$

$H=mc_{p}(T_{f}-T_{i})$

Put the value into the formula

$H=100\times4200\times(60-22)$

$H=15960\ KJ$ ...(I)

Let solar radiation for 6 hours/day.

We need to calculate the total energy per unit area

Using formula of energy

$E=1000\times6\times3600\ J/m^2$

$E=21600\ KJ/m^2$

Let the efficiency of collector is 50 %

Then, the total energy per unit area will be

$E=21600\times\dfrac{50}{100}$

$E=10800\ KJ/m^2$ ....(II)

We need to calculate the required total area

Using equation (I) and (II)

$A=\dfrac{H}{E}$

Where, H = heat

E = total energy

Put the value into the formula

$A=\dfrac{15960}{10800}$

$A=1.48\ m^2$

Hence, The required total area is 1.48 m²

Which would melt first, germanium with a melting point of 1210 k or gold with a melting point of 1064oc?

iren2701 [21]

<span>Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>

What is the component in a car engine that would detect the need for air?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Control of air–fuel ratio

Oxygen sensors tell the ECU whether the engine is running rich (too much fuel or too little oxygen) or running lean (too much oxygen or too little fuel) as compared to ideal conditions (known as stoichiometric).
