Adam uses a fixed pulley, such as the one shown below, to lift an object. Adam applies an input force to the pulley as he pulls

down to lift the object. As he does this, Adam wonders about how the pulley is helping him. How is the pulley helping Adam lift the object?

When Adam applies a ‘pull’ force on the pulley, there is an output force that the pulley lets out, directly pulling the object with it. We cannot always pull up objects with our bear hands, no matter how much force we apply. Which is why pulleys allow us to apply the force and pulleys do the work of pulling the objects for us, since work and force come hand in hand.

A photovoltaic panel of dimension 2 m × 4 m is installed on the roof of a home. The panel is irradiated with a solar flux of GS
Flura [38]

Answer:

(a) the electrical power generated for still summer day is 1013.032 W

(b)the electrical power generated for a breezy winter day is 1270.763 W

Explanation:

Given;

Area of panel = 2 m × 4 m, = 8m²

solar flux  GS = 700 W/m²

absorptivity of the panel, αS = 0.83

efficiency of conversion, η = P/αSGSA = 0.553 − 0.001 K⁻¹ Tp

panel emissivity , ε = 0.90

Apply energy balance equation to determine he electrical power generated;  

transferred energy + generated energy = 0

(radiation + convection) +  generated energy = 0

[\alpha_sG_s-\epsilon \alpha(T_p^4-T_s^4)]-h(T_p-T_\infty) - \eta \alpha_s G_s = 0

[\alpha_sG_s-\epsilon \alpha(T_p^4-T_s^4)]-h(T_p-T_\infty) - (0.553-0.001T_p)\alpha_s G_s

(a) the electrical power generated for still summer day

T_s = T_{\infty} = 35 ^oC = 308 \ k

[0.83*700-0.9*5.67*10^{-8}(T_p_1^4-308^4)]-10(T_p_1-308) - (0.553-0.001T_p_1)0.83*700 = 0\\\\3798.94-5.103*10^{-8}T_p_1^4 - 9.419T_p_1 = 0\\\\Apply \  \ iteration \ method \ to \ solve \ for \ T_p_1\\\\T_p_1 = 335.05 \ k

P = \eta \alpha_s G_s A = (0.553-0.001 T_p_1)\alpha_s G_s A \\\\P = (0.553-0.001 *335.05)0.83*700*8 \\\\P = 1013.032 \ W

(b)the electrical power generated for a breezy winter day

T_s = T_{\infty} = -15 ^oC = 258 \ k

[0.83*700-0.9*5.67*10^{-8}(T_p_2^4-258^4)]-10(T_p_2-258) - (0.553-0.001T_p_2)0.83*700 = 0\\\\8225.81-5.103*10^{-8}T_p_2^4 - 29.419T_p_2 = 0\\\\Apply \  \ iteration \ method \ to \ solve \ for \ T_p_2\\\\T_p_2 = 279.6 \ k

P = \eta \alpha_s G_s A = (0.553-0.001 T_p_2)\alpha_s G_s A \\\\P = (0.553-0.001 *279.6)0.83*700*8 \\\\P = 1270.763 \ W

A 1000 kg car moving a 10 m/s collides with a stationary 2000 kg truck. The two vehicles interlock as a result of the collision.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{3}

where:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)

v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].

Now replacing:

(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]

Which of the following describes the way heat is transferred in a geyser?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Heat is transferred by the hot air or water moving to a cooler area. The elements rotate in circular motions, giving the geyser pressure.
