Answer:

The ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio will decrease.

Explanation:

The  ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio changes as a result of temperature. When the climate is warm, the ¹⁶O evaporates first for being lighter than ¹⁸O. When the climate is cold, the ¹⁸O precipitates first for being heavier than ¹⁶O. Thus the cold regions are rich in ¹⁶O (have little ¹⁸O) and the tropics regions are rich in ¹⁸O (have little ¹⁶O). Hence, the ratio ¹⁸O/¹⁶O is high in warm areas (for the evaporation of  ¹⁶O) and lower in cold areas (for the precipitation of ¹⁸O).

Therefore, during periods of global cooling, the ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio will decrease.                    

I hope it helps you!

A fluid is flowing through a circulat tube at 0.4 kg/s. Tube inner surface is smooth with a diameter 0.014 m. Fluid density is 9
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The convection coefficient is 15456.48\ W/m^{2}K

Solution:

Mass flow rate, \dot{m} = 0.4\ kg

Inner diameter of the tube, d = 0.014 m

Fluid density, \rho_{f} = 990\ kg/m^{3}

Specific Heat, C = 3845 J/K

Thermal Conductivity, K = 0.74

Prandtl Number, P_{r} = 8.6

Heat flux, \dot{q} = 71,297\ W/m^{2}

Viscosity, \mu = 0.00079\ Ns/m^{2}

Now,

To calculate the convection heat coefficient, h:

Determine the cross sectional area of the circular tube:

A_{c} = \frac{\pi}{4}d^{2} = \frac{\pi}{4}\times (0.014)^{2} = 1.54\time 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}

Determine the velocity of the fluid inside the tube by mass flow rate:

\dot{m} = \rho_{f}A_{c}v

0.4 = 990\times 1.54\time 10^{- 4}v

v = 2.624 m/s

Determine the Reynold's Number, R_{e}:

R_{e} = \frac{\rho_{f}dv}{\mu}

R_{e} = \frac{990\times 0.014\times 2.624}{0.00079} = 46036.253

Thus it is clear that R_{e} > 10,000 hence flow is turbulent.

Now,

Determine the Nusselt Number:

N_{u} = 0.023R_{e}^{0.8}P_{r}^{0.4}

N_{u} = 0.023\times 46036.253^{0.8}\times 8.6^{0.4} = 292.42

Also,

N_{u} = \frac{dh}{K}

where

h = convection coefficient

Now,

292.42 = \frac{0.014\times h}{0.74}

h = 15456.48\ W/m^{2}K

A baseball rolls off of a .7 m high desk and strikes the floor .25 m always how fast was the ball rolling
labwork [276]

Answer:

the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that we can study the motion of the baseball rolling off the table in vertical component and horizontal component separately.

Since the velocity at which the ball was rolling is entirely in the horizontal direction, it doesn't affect the vertical motion that can therefore be studied as a free fall, where only the constant acceleration of gravity is affecting the vertical movement.

Then, considering that the ball, as it falls covers a vertical distance of 0.7 meters to the ground, we can set the equation of motion for this, and estimate the time the ball was in the air:

0.7 = (1/2) g t^2

solve for t:

t^2 = 1.4 / g

t = 0.3779  sec

which we can round to about 0.38 seconds

No we use this time in the horizontal motion, which is only determined by the ball's initial velocity (vi) as it takes off:

horizontal distance covered = vi * t

0.25 = vi * (0.38)

solve for vi:

vi = 0.25/0.38  m/s

vi = 0.65798  m/s

Then the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s

A person in a kayak starts paddling, and it accelerates from 0 to 0.61 m/s in a distance of 0.39 m. If the combined mass of the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

35.3 N

Explanation:

U = 0, V = 0.61 m/s, s = 0.39 m

Let a be the acceleration.

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 as

0.61 × 0.61 = 0 + 2 × a × 0.39

a = 0.477 m/s^2

Force = mass × acceleration

F = 74 × 0.477 = 35.3 N
