A sharp edged orifice with a 60 mm diameter opening in the vertical side of a large tank discharges under a head of 6 m. If the

coefficient of contraction is 0.68 and the coefficient of velocity is 0.92, what is the discharge?

Answer:

The discharge rate is $Q = 0.0192 \ m^3 /s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter is $d = 60 \ mm = 0.06 \ m$

The head is $h = 6 \ m$

The coefficient of contraction is $Cc = 0.68$

The coefficient of velocity is $Cv = 0.92$

The radius is mathematically evaluated as

$r = \frac{d}{2}$

substituting values

$r = \frac{ 0.06 }{2}$

$r = 0.03 \ m$

The area is mathematically represented as

$A = \pi r^2$

substituting values

$A = 3.142 * (0.03)^2$

$A = 0.00283 \ m^2$

The discharge rate is mathematically represented as

$Q = Cv *Cc * A * \sqrt{ 2 * g * h}$

substituting values

$Q = 0.68 * 0.92* 0.00283 * \sqrt{ 2 * 9.8 * 6}$

$Q = 0.0192 \ m^3 /s$

A gas expands and does PV work on its surroundings equal to 319 J. At the same time, it absorbs 136 J of heat from the surroundi

LiRa [457]

Answer:

The change in energy of the gas during the process is $-1.83\times 10^{2}$ joules.

Explanation:

We can represent this process by the First Law of Thermodynamics, in which gas does work on its surroundings and absorbs heat from there to describe its change in energy. In other words:

$Q_{in} - W_{out} = \Delta E$

Where:

$Q_{in}$ - Heat absorbed by the gas, measured in joules.

$W_{out}$ - Work done by the gas, measured in joules.

$\Delta E$ - Change in energy, measured in joules.

If we know that $Q_{in} = 1.36\times 10^{2}\,J$ and $W_{out} = 3.19\times 10^{2}\,J$ , the change in energy of the gas is:

$\Delta E = 1.36\times 10^{2}\,J-3.19\times 10^{2}\,J$

$\Delta E = -1.83\times 10^{2}\,J$

The change in energy of the gas during the process is $-1.83\times 10^{2}$ joules.

The objects in the inner part of our solar system are composed mostly of

N76 [4]

“Inner Planets” – Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars – which are so named because they orbit closest to the Sun. ... For starters, the inner planets are rocky and terrestrial, composed mostly of silicates and metals, whereas the outer planets are gas giants.

Which one of the following is a decomposition reaction?

BabaBlast [244]

You would know a decomposition reaction occurred if the reactants separated. For example from AB → A+B.

Now if you look at your options only 1 works out for that equation. Letter A.
From the compound K2CO3 it split up to K2O +CO2

It cannot be letter B because synthesis/combination occurred. The same goes for letter C. Letter D, single displacement occurred.

Again, the answer is A.

Three small masses are positioned as follows: 2.0 kg at (0.0 m, 0.0 m), 2.0 kg at (2.0 m, 0.0 m), and 4.0 kg at (2.0 m, 1.0 m).

melamori03 [73]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The given data is

mass, kg Coordinates. m
------------- -----------------
2 (0, 0)
2 (2, 0)
4 (2, 1)

Total mass, M = 2+2+4 = 8kg
Let (x,y) be the coordinates of M.

Then, taking moments about the origin, we obtain
8x = 2*0 + 2*2 + 4*2 = 12
x = 1.5 m

8y = 2*0 + 2*0 + 4*1 = 4
y = 0.5 m

Answer: (1.5, 0.5) m
