Hurricanes are especially destructive because of the abrupt decrease in air pressure that they bring with the winds. Consider a

house which is airtight, and has a pressure of 1.02 atm when a hurricane hits. Outside, external air pressure quickly falls to 0.91. What net force (directed outwards) is exerted on a 1.63 m by 1.63 m window on the house? (Answer should be in SI units, rounded off to nearest whole number).

Answer:

2.96 × 10^4 N

Explanation:

1 atm = 101325 N/m², pressure inside the airtight room = 1.02 atm, pressure outside due to hurricane = 0.91 atm

net pressure directed outward = P inside - P  outside

net pressure = 1.02 - 0.91 = 0.11 atm

where 1 atm = 101325N/m²

0.11 atm = 0.11 × 101325 N/m² = 11145.75 N/m²

area of the square wall = l × l where l is the length of the wall in meters = 1.63 × 1.63 = 2.6569

net pressure = net force / area

make net force subject of the formula

net force = net pressure × area = 11145.75 × 2.6569 = 2.96 × 10 ^4 N

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

42KVA

Explanation:

Given data

High Voltage (HV)= 480V

Low Voltage (LV)= 277V

Fo find

Size of transformer=?

Solution

To find the size of transformer here we use the co-ratio.The Co-ratio is given as:

Co-Ratio= (HV - LV)/HV

where

HV is High Voltage

LV is Low Voltage

Now put the values we get

Co- Ratio=(480-277)/480=.42

So the size of transformer is 42KVA

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation.
tatyana61 [14]
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Electric motors work on the principal of the interaction between magnetic field electr-magnetism. A loop which is carrying the current is placed in a magnetic field. The loop will experience a torque. The torque starts rotating the coil and the propellers start to rotate when the current passes through the loop.

What is a synovial joint? (ANATOMY)
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

From Wikipedia:

"A synovial joint, also known as diarthrosis, joins bones or cartilage with a fibrous joint capsule that is continuous with the periosteum of the joined bones, constitutes the outer boundary of a synovial cavity, and surrounds the bones' articulating surfaces. The synovial cavity/joint is filled with synovial fluid."
