Answer:

a) The net force on the ball is instantaneously equal to zero newtons at the top of the flight path.

Explanation:

At an instantenous time at the top of the flight path, the upward force due to the Canon explosion on the ball is just equal to the weight of the ball, this will equate the net force on the ball to zero. At this point the velocity of the ball is zero before it decends down to earth under its own weight.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

P= 5.5 bar

Explanation:

Given that

L= 4000 m

d= 0.2 m

Friction factor(F) = 0.01

speed V= 2 m/s

Head = 5 m

Head loss due to friction

h_f=\dfrac{FLV^2}{2gd}

h_f=\dfrac{0.01\times 4000\times 2^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.2}

h_f=40.77m

So the total head(H) = 5 + 40.77 + 10.3 =56.07

Where 10.3 m is the atmospheric head.

We know that

P=ρ g H

So total Pressure

P= 1000 x 9.81 x 56.07 Pa

P=5.5\times 10^5\ Pa

P= 5.5 bar

A heat engine receives heat from a heat source at 1453 C and has a thermal efficiency of 43 percent. The heat engine does maximu
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

a) 1253 kJ

b) 714 kJ

c) 946 C

Explanation:

The thermal efficiency is given by this equation

η = L/Q1

Where

η: thermal efficiency

L: useful work

Q1: heat taken from the heat source

Rearranging:

Q1 = L/η

Replacing

Q1 = 539 / 0.43 = 1253 kJ

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

Q = L + ΔU

For a machine working in cycles ΔU is zero between homologous parts of the cycle.

Also we must remember that we count heat entering the system as positiv and heat leaving as negative.

We split the heat on the part that enters and the part that leaves.

Q1 + Q2 = L + 0

Q2 = L - Q1

Q2 = 539 - 1253 = -714 kJ

TO calculate a temperature for the heat sink we must consider this cycle as a Carnot cycle. Then we can use the thermal efficiency equation for the Carnot cycle, this one uses temperatures:

η = 1 - T2/T1

T2/T1 = 1 - η

T2 = (1 - η) * T1

The temperatures must be given in absolute scale (1453 C = 1180 K)

T2 = (1 - 0.43) * 1180 = 673 K

673 K = 946 C

A rocket is launched from rest with a constant upwards acceleration of 18 m/s2. Determine its velocity after 25 seconds
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the rocket is 450 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the rocket, u = 0

constant upward acceleration of the rocket, a = 18 m/s²

time of motion of the rocket, t = 25 s

The final velocity of the rocket is calculated with the following kinematic equation;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the rocket after 25 s

Substitute the given values in the equation above;

v = 0 + 18 x 25

v = 450 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the rocket is 450 m/s.

Determine the voltages at all nodes and the currents through all branches. Assume that the transistor B is 100,
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The voltages of all nodes are, IE = 4.65 mA, IB =46.039μA,  IC=4.6039 mA, VB = 10v, VE =10.7, Vc =4.6039 v

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

V+ = 20v

Re = 2kΩ

Rc = 1kΩ

Now we will amke use of the method KVL in the loop.

= - Ve + IE . Re + VEB + VB = 0

Thus

IE = V+ -VEB -VB/Re

Which gives us the following:

IE = 20-0.7 - 10/2k

= 9.3/2k

so, IE = 4.65 mA

IB = IE/β +1 = 4.65 m /101

Thus,

IB = 0.046039 mA

IB = 46.039μA

IC =βIB

Now,

IC = 100 * 0.046039

IC is 4.6039 mA

Now,

VB = 10v

VE = VB + VEB

= 10 +0.7 = 10.7 v

So,

Vc =Ic . Rc = 4.6039 * 1k

=4.6039 v

Finally, this is the table summary from calculations carried out.
