Answer:

The "tallest truck" that it passes by is 12 ft.

Explanation:

Given that,

The truck passes through "Height of an half ellipse" is 20 ft ("a" is "Major axis").

The truck passes through "Width of an ellipse" is 20 ft ("b" is "Minor axis").

The width of the truck is 16 ft (x).

We need to find the greatest "height of the truck" (y) which enters into an ellipse.

We know that,

Equation of ellipse is \frac {x^2}{b^2}+ \frac {y^2}{a^2}=1

Substitute the given values in the above formula,

\frac {16^2}{20^2}+ \frac {y^2}{20^2}=1

\frac {256}{400}+ \frac {y^2}{400}=1

0.64+ \frac {y^2}{400}=1

\frac {y^2}{400}=1-0.64

\frac {y^2}{400}=0.36

y^2=0.36\times400

y^2=144

y=\sqrt{144}

y = 12

Therefore, The "tallest truck" that it passes by is 12 ft.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Resistance R in a current flow through an object is given by

R= \frac{\rho L}{A}

ρ = resistivity of the material

L= length of the object

A=  area of cross section

clearly resistance is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

thermal resistance R_th is given by

R_{th} = \frac{L}{KA}

L= length of the object

A=  area of cross section

K = Conductivity of the material

thermal resistance is also is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

Hello guys! Can u please help me with physics. I translated it in English. Can yall help me please how much u can!!
DedPeter [7]

1. Since the body is thrown vertically upward, the only force acting on it as it rises and falls is gravity, which causes a constant downward acceleration with magnitude g = 9.8 m/s². Because this acceleration is constant, we can use the formula

v² - u² = 2a ∆x

where

u = initial speed

v = final speed

a = acceleration

∆x = displacement

At its maximum height, some distance y above the point where the body is launched, the body has zero velocity, so

0² - (20 m/s)² = 2 (-9.8 m/s²) y

Solve for y :

y = (20 m/s)² / (2 (9.8 m/s²)) ≈ 20.4 m

2. Relative to the ground, the body's maximum height is 60 m + 20.4 m ≈ 80.4 m.

3. At any time t ≥ 0, the body's vertical velocity is given by

v = 20 m/s - gt

At the highest point, we have

0 = 20 m/s - (9.8 m/s²) t

and solving for t gives

t = (20 m/s) / (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 2.04 s

4. The body's height y above the ground at any time t ≥ 0 is given by

y = 60 m + (20 m/s) t - 1/2 gt²

Solve for t when y = 0 :

0 = 60 m + (20 m/s) t - 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) t²

Using the quadratic formula,

t = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

(and omitting the negative root, which gives a negative solution) where a = -1/2 (9.8 m/s²), b = 20 m/s, and c = 60 m. You should end up with

t ≈ 6.09 s

5. At the time found in (4), the body's velocity is

v = 20 m/s - g (6.09 s) ≈ -39.7 m/s

Speed is the magnitude of velocity, so the speed in question is 39.7 m/s.

A refrigerator is used to cool water from 23°C to 5°C in a continuous manner. The heat rejected in the condenser is 570 kJ/min a
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: Q=5.46 L/s

COP=2.58

Explanation:

Given that

Cp = 4.18 kJ/(kg.C

density  = 1 kg/L

Heat rejected Qr= 570 kJ/min

Power in put W= 2.65 KW

From first law of thermodynamics

U = W+ q

q = Heat absorbed

U = internal energy

W = workdone

U = 570 kJ/min  = 9.5 KW

9.5 = 2.65 + q

q = 6.85 KW

COP = q/W

COP = 6.58 / 2.65

COP=2.58

Lets take volume flow rate is Q

So mass flow rate of water m = ρ Q

q = m Cp ΔT

6.85 = 1 x Q x 4.18 ( 23-5)

Q=0.091 L/min

Q=5.46 L/s
