Answer:

distance when the weight is 8 kg is 26.66 cm

Explanation:

given data

distance d2 = 10 cm

weight w2 = 3 kg

weight w1 = 8 kg

to find out

distance when the weight is 8 kg

solution

we consider here distance d1 when weight is 8 kg

so equation will be

d1/d2 = w1/w2

d/10 = 8/ 3

so d = 8/3 × 10

so d = 26.66

distance when the weight is 8 kg is 26.66 cm

An inventor develops a stationary cycling device by which an individual, while pedaling, can convert all of the energy expended

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

$Q=94185\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of water, $m=0.3\ kg$

initial temperature of water, $T_i=20^{\circ}C$

final temperature of water, $T_f=95^{\circ}C$

specific heat of water, $c=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

<u>Now the amount of heat energy required:</u>

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$

$Q=0.3\times 4186\times (95-20)$

$Q=94185\ J$

Since all of the mechanical energy is being converted into heat, therefore the same amount of mechanical energy is required.

Moist air initially at 1258C, 4 bar, and 50% relative humidity is contained in a 2.5-m3 closed, rigid tank. The tank contents ar

Here is the missing part of the question

To Determine the heat transfer, in kJ if the final temperature in the tank is 110 deg C

Answer:

Explanation:

The image attached below shows the process on T - v diagram

<u>At State 1:</u>

The first step is to find the vapor pressure

$P_{v1} = \rho_1 P_g_1$

$= \phi_1 P_{x \ at \ 125^0C}$

= 0.5 × 232 kPa

= 116 kPa

The initial specific volume of the vapor is:

$P_{v_1} v_{v_1} = \dfrac{\overline R}{M_v}T_1$

$116 \times 10^3 \times v_{v_1} = \dfrac{8314}{18} \times (125 + 273)$

$116 \times 10^3 \times v_{v_1} = 183831.7778$

$v_{v_1} = 1.584 \ m^3/kg$

<u>At State 1:</u>

The next step is to determine the mass of water vapor pressure.

$m_{v1} = \dfrac{V}{v_{v1}}$

$= \dfrac{2.5}{1.584}$

= 1.578 kg

Using the ideal gas equation to estimate the mass of the dry air $m_a$ $P_{a1} V = m_a \dfrac{\overline R}{M_a}T_1$

$(P_1-P_{v1}) V = m_a \dfrac{\overline R}{M_a}T_1$

$(4-1.16) \times 10^5 \times 2.5 = m_a \dfrac{8314}{28.97}\times ( 125 + 273)$

$710000= m_a \times 114220.642$

$m_a = \dfrac{710000}{114220.642}$

$m_a = 6.216 \ kg$

For the specific volume $v_{v_1} = 1.584 \ m^3/kg$ , we get the identical value of saturation temperature

$T_{sat} = 100 + (110 -100) \bigg(\dfrac{1.584-1.673}{1.210 - 1.673}\bigg)$

$T_{sat} =101.92 ^0\ C$

Thus, at $T_{sat} =101.92 ^0\ C$ , condensation needs to begin.

However, since the exit temperature tends to be higher than the saturation temperature, then there will be an absence of condensation during the process.

Heat can now be determined by using the formula

Q = ΔU + W

Recall that: For a rigid tank, W = 0

Q = ΔU + 0

Q = ΔU

Q = U₂ - U₁

Also, the mass will remain constant given that there will not be any condensation during the process from state 1 and state 2.

<u>At State 1;</u>

The internal energy is calculated as:

$U_1 = (m_a u_a \ _{ at \ 125^0 C})+ ( m_{v1} u_v \ _{ at \ 125^0 C} )$

At $T_1$ = 125° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of air

SO;

$U_{a \ at \ 125 ^0C } = 278.93 + ( 286.16 -278.93) (\dfrac{398-390}{400-390} )$

$=278.93 + ( 7.23) (\dfrac{8}{10} )$

$= 284.714 \ kJ/kg\\$

At $T_1$ = 125° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of water vapor

$U_{v1 \ at \ 125^0C} = u_g = 2534.5 \ kJ/kg$

$U_1 = (m_a u_a \ at \ _{ 125 ^0C }) + ( m_{v1} u_v \ at \ _{125^0C} )$

= 6.216 × 284.714 + 1.578 × 2534.5

= 5768.716 kJ

<u>At State 2:</u>

The internal energy is calculated as:

$U_2 = (m_a u_a \ _{ at \ 110^0 C})+ ( m_{v1} u_v \ _{ at \ 110^0 C} )$

At temperature 110° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of air

SO;

$U_{a \ at \ 110^0C } = 271.69+ ( 278.93-271.69) (\dfrac{383-380}{390-380} )$

$271.69+ (7.24) (0.3)$

$= 273.862 \ kJ/kg\\$

At temperature 110° C, we obtain the specific internal energy of water vapor

$U_{v1 \ at \ 110^0C}= 2517.9 \ kJ/kg$

$U_2 = (m_a u_a \ at \ _{ 110 ^0C }) + ( m_{v1} u_v \ at \ _{110^0C} )$

= 6.216 × 273.862 + 1.578 × 2517.9

= 5675.57 kJ

Finally, the heat transfer during the process is

Q = U₂ - U₁

Q = (5675.57 - 5768.716 ) kJ

Q = -93.146 kJ

with the negative sign, this indicates that heat is lost from the system.

A 325 N force applied to an object for 5.5 s. What’s the impulse?

vazorg [7]

According to Newton second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum while maintaining other factors constant. Therefore, F = (mv-mu)/t where F is the resultant force , m is the mass of the object, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.
Hence, Ft = mv-mu, but impulse is given by force multiplied by time, thus, impulse is equivalent to the change in momentum.
Impulse = Ft
= 325 × 2.2 sec
= 715 Ns
