You are doing an experiment to determine your reaction time. Your friend holds a ruler. You place your fingers near the sides of

the lower part of the ruler without touching it. The friend drops the ruler without warning you. You catch the ruler after it falls 11.3 cm . What was your reaction time? please show formulas and explanation step by step

I'm guessing that you mean like this:
-- The ruler is held with zero at the bottom, and the centimeter markings
    increase as you go up the ruler.
-- You place your fingers with the ruler and the zero mark between them.
-- The number where you catch the ruler is the distance it has fallen.

Then, all we have to find is the time it takes for the ruler to fall 11.3 cm .

Here's the formula for the distance an object falls from rest
in a certain time:

                Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So we can write ...

                              11.2 cm  =  (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²
or
                         0.112 meter  =  (4.9 m/s²) (time)²                      

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :        (0.112 m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                            (0.112 / 4.9)  sec²  =  time²

Square root
each side:            time = √(0.112/4.9  sec²)

                                  =  √ 0.5488 sec²

                                  =      0.74 second     (rounded)

Answer:

0.152 seconds

Explanation:

Distance travelled by the ruler = 11.3 cm = s

Initial velocity of the ruler = 0 = u

Final velocity of the ruler = v

Time taken by you to catch the ruler = t

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Equation of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 0.113=0t+\frac{1}{2}9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{2\times 0.113}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.113}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.152\ s

So, it took you 0.152 seconds to react to the ruler falling.

The electrostatic force between the two ions is 2.9\cdot 10^{-10} N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged particle is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, the ion of sodium has a charge of

q_1 = +e = +1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

while the ion of chlorine has a charge of

q_2 = -e = -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

And the distance between the two ions is

r=282 pm = 282\cdot 10^{-12} m

Substituting, we find the electrostatic force between the two ions:

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})}{(282\cdot 10^{-12})^2}=-2.9\cdot 10^{-10} N

where the negative sign simply means that the force is attractive, since the two ions have opposite charge.

Air, considered an ideal gas, is contained in an insulated piston-cylinder assembly outfitted with a paddle wheel. It is initial
Maru [420]

Our data are,

State 1:

P_1= 10psi=68.95kPa\\V_1 = 1ft^3=0.02831m^3\\T_1 = 100\°F = 310.93K

State 2:

P_2 =5psi=34.474kPa\\V_2 = 3ft^3=0.0899m^3

We know as well that 3BTU=3.16kJ/K

To find the mass we apply the ideal gas formula, which is given by

P_1V_1=mRT_1

Re-arrange for m,

m= \frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}\\m= \frac{68.95*0.02831}{(0.287)310.9}\\m=0.021893kg=0.04806lbm\\

Because of the pressure, temperature and volume ratio of state 1 and 2, we have to

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

Replacing,

T_2 = \frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1}T_1\\T_2 =\frac{34.474*0.0844}{68.95*0.02831}*310.93\\T_2 = 464.217K=375.5\°F

For conservative energy we have, (Cv = 0.718)

W = m C_v = 0.718  \Delta T +dw\\dw = W - mv\Delta T\\dw = 3.16-(0.0218*0.718)(454.127-310.93)\\dw = 0.765kJ=0.72BTU

What color would a yellow cloth appear to have if illuminated with sunlight?
den301095 [7]
The colour we see is a measure of the wavelengths of light nor absorbed by the cloth. We would call the colour of the cloth blue if it absorbed longer wavelengths of yellow/orange/red. Sunlight contains all the visible wavelengths. Whatever is not absorbed is reflected.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

the maximum theoretical work that could be developed by the turbine is 775.140kJ/kg

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the adiabatic process that relate the temperature and pressure variables

Mathematically this can be determined as

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{(\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma})}

Where

Temperature at inlet of turbine

Temperature at exit of turbine

Pressure at exit of turbine

Pressure at exit of turbine

The steady flow Energy equation for an open system is given as follows:

m_i = m_0 = mm(h_i+\frac{V_i^2}{2}+gZ_i)+Q = m(h_0+\frac{V_0^2}{2}+gZ_0)+W

Where,

m = mass

m(i) = mass at inlet

m(o)= Mass at outlet

h(i)= Enthalpy at inlet

h(o)= Enthalpy at outlet

W = Work done

Q = Heat transferred

v(i) = Velocity at inlet

v(o)= Velocity at outlet

Z(i)= Height at inlet

Z(o)= Height at outlet

For the insulated system with neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects

h_i = h_0 + WW = h_i -h_0

Using the relation T-P we can find the final temperature:

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{(\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma})}\\

\frac{T_2}{1600K} = (\frac{0.8bar}{8nar})^{(\frac{1.4-1}{1.4})}\\ = 828.716K

From this point we can find the work done using the value of the specific heat of the air that is 1,005kJ / kgK

W = h_i -h_0W = C_p (T_1-T_2)W = 1.005(1600 - 828.716)W = 775.140kJ/Kg

the maximum theoretical work that could be developed by the turbine is 775.140kJ/kg
