Answer:

C. 85%

Explanation:

A cylinder fitted with a piston exists in a high-pressure chamber (3 atm) with an initial volume of 1 L. If a sufficient quantity of a hydrocarbon material is combusted inside the cylinder to produce 1 kJ of energy, and if the volume of the chamber then increases to 1.5 L, what percent of the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat?

A. 15%

B. 30%

C. 85%

D. 100%

work done by the system will be

W=PdV

p=pressure

dV=change in volume

3tam will be changed to N/m^2

3*1.01*10^5

W=3.03*10^5*(1.5-1)

convert 0.5L to m^3

5*10^-4

W=3.03*10^5*5*10^-4

W=152J

therefore

to find the percentage used

152/1000*100

15%

100%-15%

85% uf the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat

Car A is traveling north on a straight highway and car B is traveling west on a different straight highway. Each car is approach
guapka [62]

Answer:

129 km/hr

Explanation:

Distance of Car A North of the Intersection, y=0.3km

Distance of Car B West of the Intersection, x=0.4 km

The distance z,  between A and B is determined by the Pythagoras theorem

z^2=x^2+y^2

z^2=0.4^2+0.3^2=0.25\\z=\sqrt{0.25}=0.5km

Taking derivative of z^2=x^2+y^2

2z\frac{dz}{dt}= 2x\frac{dx}{dt}+2y\frac{dy}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt}=90km/hr, \frac{dy}{dt}=95km/hr

2(0.5)\frac{dz}{dt}= 2(0.4)X90+2X0.3X95\\\frac{dz}{dt}=72+57=129

The distance z, between the cars is changing at a rate of 129 km/hr.

How fast must a train accelerates from rest to cover 518 m in the first 7.48 s?
Rus_ich [418]

Heya!

For this problem, use the formula:

s = Vo * t + (at^2) / 2

Since the initial velocity is zero, the formula simplifies like this:

s = (at^2) / 2

Clear a:

2s = at^2

(2s) / t^2 = a

a = (2s) / t^2

Data:

s = Distance = 518 m

t = Time = 7,48 s

a = Aceleration = ¿?

Replace according formula:

a = (2*518 m) / (7,48 s)^2

Resolving:

a = 1036 m / 55,95 s^2

a = 23,34 m/s^2

The aceleration must be <u>23,34 meters per second squared</u>

Question 17 of 25
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The speed of the wave as it travelled through the brass bell is;

B. 4,700 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The wavelength of the sound wave produced from the brass bell, \lambda _{(air)}  = 3.5 m

The wavelength of the wave in the brass bell, \lambda _{(brass \ bell)}  = 47 m

The frequency of the wave in the brass bell, f = 100 Hz

The given equation for wave speed, v = f × λ

Therefore, the speed of the wave as it travelled through the brass bell, v _{(brass \ bell)}, is given as follows;

v _{(brass \ bell)} = f × \lambda _{(brass \ bell)} = 100 Hz × 47 m = 4,700 m/s  

The speed of the wave as it travelled through the brass bell =  v _{(brass \ bell)} = 4,700 m/s

A particle has ~r(0) = (4 m) ˆ and ~v(0) = (2 m/s)ˆı. If its acceleration is constant and given by ~a = −(2 m/s 2 ) (ˆı +ˆ), a
Troyanec [42]

The particle has \vec r(0)=(4\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\imath and \vec v(0)=\left(2\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath, and is undergoing a constant acceleration of \vec a=-\left(2\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(\vec\imath+\vec\jmath).

This means its position at time t is given by the vector function,

\vec r(t)=\vec r(0)+\vec v(0)t+\dfrac12\vec a t^2

\implies\vec r(t)=\left[4\,\mathrm m+\left(2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\left(1\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\right]\,\vec\imath-\left(1\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\,\vec\jmath

The particle crosses the x-axis when the \vec\imath component is 0 for some time t>0, so we solve:

4+2t-t^2=0\implies t^2-2t+1=5

\implies(t-1)^2=5

\implies t-1=\pm\sqrt5

\implies t=1\pm\sqrt5

The negative square root introduces a negative solution that we throw out, leaving us with \boxed{t=1+\sqrt5} or about 3.24 seconds after it starts moving.

What challenges arise when trying to protect the environment? Check all that apply.
fenix001 [56]

Answer

The challenge when trying to protect the environment is expensive clean energy startup cost

Explanation

In attempts to protect the environment, energy users across the globe are shifting to new renewable energy resources which are faced by the challenge of high capital cost. Renewable energy technologies are cheap to operate but very expensive to build. The perception is that renewable energy resources are risky because they require higher construction costs.
