Answer:

10.12square feet

Explanation:

Pressure exerted on the object is defined as the ratio of the force exerted on it to its unit area. Mathematically, Pressure = Force/Area

Given the force = 170kN

Pressure = 180KPa

Area = Force /Pressure

Area = 170kN/180KPa

Area = 0.94N/Pa

Note that 1Newton/Pascal = 10.764square feet

Therefore 0.94N/Pa = x

x = 0.94× 10.764

x = 10.12square feet

Therefore the area upon which this pressure is exerted is 10.12sqft.

What is meant by "steam distillation"? choose the correct option from below.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

b is the correct option.

Explanation:

Steam distillation is a distillation in which water is added to the mixture being distilled so that water and the organic compounds vaporize, condense and are collected together. This process is applied for the purification of those materials specially the organic materials which are temperature sensitive. The normal boiling method can not be implemented as these materials starts to decompose on high temperatures. This method has got a lot of applications in industries like petrolium refineries and the oil extraction from some plants etc.

An oscillator consists of a block attached to a spring (k = 427 N/m). At some time t, the position (measured from the system's e
White raven [17]

Answer:

a) 4.49Hz

b) 0.536kg

c) 2.57s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the equation for he position and velocity of an object in a mass-string system:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\v=-\omega Asin(\omega t)\\\\a=-\omega^2Acos(\omega t)

for some time t you have:

x=0.134m

v=-12.1m/s

a=-107m/s^2

If you divide the first equation and the third equation, you can calculate w:

\frac{x}{a}=\frac{Acos(\omega t)}{-\omega^2 Acos(\omega t)}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{-\frac{a}{x}}=\sqrt{-\frac{-107m/s^2}{0.134m}}=28.25\frac{rad}{s}

with this value you can compute the frequency:

a)

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{28.25rad/s}{2\pi}=4.49Hz

b)

the mass of the block is given by the formula:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\m=\frac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}=\frac{427N/m}{(4\pi^2)(4.49Hz)^2}=0.536kg

c) to find the amplitude of the motion you need to know the time t. This can computed by dividing the equation for v with the equation for x and taking the arctan:

\frac{v}{x}=-\omega tan(\omega t)\\\\t=\frac{1}{\omega}arctan(-\frac{v}{x\omega })=\frac{1}{28.25rad/s}arctan(-\frac{-12.1m/s}{(0.134m)(28.25rad/s)})=2.57s

Finally, the amplitude is:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\A=\frac{0.134m}{cos(28.25rad/s*2.57s )}=0.45m

In a series RLC ac circuit, a second resistor is connected in series with the resistor previously in the circuit. As a result of
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

* The first thing we observe is that the frequency response does not change

* The current that circulates in the circuit decreases due to the new resistance at the resonance point,

          Z = R + R₂

Explanation:

The impedance of a series circuit is

          Z₀² = R² + (X_L-X_C) ²

when we place another resistor in series the initial resistance impedance changes to

          Z² = (R + R₂) ² + (X_L - X_C) ²

           

let's analyze this expression

* The first thing we observe is that the frequency response does not change

* The current that circulates in the circuit decreases due to the new resistance at the resonance point,

          Z = R + R₂

A 3.00 kg mud ball has a perfectly inelastic collision with a second mud ball that is initially at rest. the composite system mo
viva [34]
Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:

m_{1} * v_{1} +  m_{2} * v_{2} =  m_{1} * v'_{1} +  m_{2} * v'_{2}

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We have following information:
m₁=3 kg
m₂=? kg
v₁=x m/s
v₂=0 m/s
v'1 = v'2 = 1/3 * v₁

Now we insert given information and solve for m₂:
3*v₁ + 0*? = 3*1/3*v₁ + m₂*1/3*v₁
3v₁ = v₁ + m₂*1/3*v₁
2v₁ = m₂*1/3*v₁
2 = m₂*1/3
m₂= 6kg

Mass of second mud ball is 6kg.
