What is an unbalanced force

1 answer:

7 0

There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".

If all of the forces acting on an object all add up to zero, then we say that
the group of forces is balanced. When that happens, the group of forces
has the same effect on the object as if there were no forces on it at all.

An example:
Two people with exactly equal strength are having a tug-of-war. They pull
with equal force in opposite directions. Each person is sweating and straining,
grunting and groaning, and exerting tremendous force. But their forces add up
to zero, and the rope goes nowhere. The group of forces on the rope is balanced.

On the other hand, if one of the offensive linemen is pulling on one end of
the rope, and one of the cheerleaders is pulling on the other end, then their
forces don't add up to zero, because even though they're opposite, they're
not equal. The group of forces is unbalanced, and the rope moves.

A group of forces is either balanced or unbalanced. A single force isn't.

A reciprocating compressor is a device that compresses air by a back-and-forth straight-line motion, like a piston in a cylinder

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The temperature change per compression stroke is 32.48°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular frequency = 150 rpm

Stroke = 2.00 mol

Initial temperature = 390 K

Supplied power = -7.9 kW

Rate of heat = -1.1 kW

We need to calculate the time for compressor

Using formula of compression

$\terxt{time for compression}=\text{time for half revolution}$

$\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times T$

$\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{f}$

Put the value into the formula

$\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{150}\times60$

$\terxt{time for compression}=0.2\ sec$

We need to calculate the rate of internal energy

Using first law of thermodynamics

$U=Q-W$

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}-\dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=(-1.1)-(7.9)$

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=6.8\ kW$

We need to calculate the temperature change per compression stroke

Using formula of rate of internal energy

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{nc_{v}\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta\theta=\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}\times\dfrac{\Delta t}{n\times c_{c}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=6.8\times10^{3}\dfrac{0.2}{2.0\times20.93}$

$\Delta\theta=32.48^{\circ}$

Hence, The temperature change per compression stroke is 32.48°.

(Flair?) Two species of fish live in the same pond. One species reproduces sexually, and the other reproduces asexually. One day

morpeh [17]

Answer is asexully

Explanation:

for every two sexully producing fish there is one offspring. but for every one asexuall producing fish there is one offspring. so if the asexual fish prodececes more than there will be more than the sexually producing fish.

A photon of light has a wavelength of about 600 nm (1nm = 1 x 10-9 m). What is the energy of this photon of light? Show all calc

bezimeni [28]

Wavelength = 600 nm = 600 × 10^(-9)
speed of light = c = 3 × 10^8
planck constant = h = 6.63 × 10^(-34)

energy of photon = hc/wavelength
= 6.63 × 10^(-34) × 3 × 10^8/600 × 10^(-9)
= 1.9 × 10^(-25)/6 × 10^(-7)
= 0.31 × 10^(-16)
= 3.1 × 10^(-17)
