Please need help ASAP. Would really appreciate it.

The acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

A) 60%

B) p2 = 1237.2 kPa

v2 = 0.348 m^3

C) w1-2 = w3-4 = 1615.5 kJ

Q2-3 = 60 kJ

Explanation:

A) calculate thermal efficiency

Л = 1 - $\frac{Tl}{Th}$

where Tl = 300 k

Th = 750 k

hence thermal efficiency ( Л ) = [1 - ( 300 / 750 )] * 100 = 60%

B) calculate the pressure and volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion

calculate pressure ( P2 ) :

= P3v3 = mRT3 ----- (1)

v3 = 0.4m , mR = 2* 0.287, T3 = 750

hence P3 = 1076.25

next equation to determine P2

Qex = p3v3 ln( p2/p3 )

60 = 1076.25 * 0.4 ln(p2/p3)

hence ; P2 = 1237.2 kpa

calculate volume ( V2 )

p2v2 = p3v3

v2 = p3v3 / p2

= (1076.25 * 0.4 ) / 1237.2

= 0.348 m^3

C) calculate the work and heat transfer for each four processes

work :

W1-2 = mCv( T2 - T1 )

= 2*0.718 ( 750 - 300 ) = 1615.5 kJ

W3-4 = 1615.5 kJ

heat transfer

Q2-3 = W2-3 = 60KJ

Q3-4 = 0
