Answer:

Force, |F| = 2100 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against at a rate of 50.0 kg/s, $\dfrac{m}{t}=50\ kg/s$

Initial speed, v = 42 m/s

The momentum is reduced to zero, final speed, v = 0

The relation between the force and the momentum is given by :

$F=\dfrac{p}{t}$

$F=\dfrac{mv}{t}$

$F=50\ kg/s\times 42\ m/s$

|F| = 2100 N

So, the magnitude of the force exerted on the wall is 2100 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

10 kg of R-134a fill a 1.115-m^3 rigid container at an initial temperature of -30∘C. The container is then heated until the pres

Sidana [21]

Answer : The final temperature an the initial pressure of gas is, 273.6 K and 177.6 kPa

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the initial pressure of gas.

As we know that, R-134a is 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane.

Using ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{w}{M}RT$

where,

P = pressure of gas = ?

V = volume of gas = $1.115m^3$

T = temperature of gas = $-30^oC=273+(-30)=243K$

R = gas constant = $8.314m^3Pa/mole.K$

w = mass of gas = 10 kg = 10000 g

M = molar mass of R-134a gas = 102.03 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

$P\times 1.115m^3=\frac{10000g}{102.03g/mole}\times (8.314m^3Pa/mole.K)\times (243K)$

$P=177587.9687Pa=177.6kPa$

Thus, the initial pressure of gas is, 177.6 kPa

Now we have to calculate the final temperature of gas.

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

$P\propto T$

or,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 177.6 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 200 kPa

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $-30^oC=273+(-30)=243K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{177.6kPa}{243K}=\frac{200kPa}{T_2}$

$T_2=273.6K$

Thus, the final temperature an the initial pressure of gas is, 273.6 K and 177.6 kPa

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if each block represents one foot(show your calculation)

iren2701 [21]

I'm pretty sure that the "block" of which you speak is one in a pattern
of them that covers the drawing you have of the rectangle, and now
I need to explain something to you:

The REASON for printing that drawing next to the question that you
partially copied is that the drawing has information that's needed to
answer the question with, and rather than repeat all that information
in the question, it just says "LOOK AT THE DRAWING !"

In fact, the whole point of the question may not be just to remind you of
what "perimeter" means. It's more likely that the purpose of this problem
is to make you pick the information you need off of a drawing.

Either way, if you'll kind of "read between the lines" of the part of the
question that you DID copy, it should be pretty obvious to you that nobody's
going nowhere in the direction of a solution without SEEing the drawing.

So my bottom-line conclusion regarding a solution for this problem is:
Not possible with the given information.

What quantity is multiplied by the hydraulic lift system of a dump truck?

kogti [31]

funny, actually, i'm a hydraulic, and pneumatic cylinder, pump, and line system mechanic, and the answer is pressure.... pressure builds up from the hydraulic pump, and then transfers through hoses to extend, and contract the cylinders by filling them with hydraulic fluid, and vice versa for contracting them.

hope this helps!
