Answer:

a_x = 0

Explanation:

When projectile is in air then the force on the projectile is only due to its weight

It is vertically downwards

F_g = mg(-\hat j)

so here since we don't have any air drag or friction due to air so there will be no force along its tangent or along x direction

so the acceleration along x direction will be zero

a_x = 0

a_y = - g

Without air resistance, there is no horizontal force on the projectile,
so it has no horizontal acceleration.  The answer is "zero".

The exit nozzle in a jet engine receives air at 1200 K, 150 kPa with negligible kinetic energy. The exit pressure is 80 kPa, and
nikitadnepr [17]

Complete question:

The exit nozzle in a jet engine receives air at 1200 K, 150 kPa with negligible kinetic energy. The exit pressure is 80 kPa, and the process is reversible and adiabatic. Use constant specific heat at 300 K to find the exit velocity.

Answer:

The exit velocity is 629.41 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature, T₁ = 1200K

initial pressure, P₁ = 150 kPa

final pressure, P₂ = 80 kPa

specific heat at 300 K, Cp = 1004 J/kgK

k = 1.4

Calculate final temperature;

T_2 = T_1(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{k-1 }{k}

k = 1.4

T_2 = T_1(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{k-1 }{k}}\\\\T_2 = 1200(\frac{80}{150})^{\frac{1.4-1 }{1.4}}\\\\T_2 = 1002.714K

Work done is given as;

W = \frac{1}{2} *m*(v_i^2 - v_e^2)

inlet velocity is negligible;

v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2W}{m} } = \sqrt{2*C_p(T_1-T_2)} \\\\v_e = \sqrt{2*1004(1200-1002.714)}\\\\v_e = \sqrt{396150.288} \\\\v_e = 629.41  \ m/s

Therefore, the exit velocity is 629.41 m/s

A 2kg object weighs 19.6N on earth. If the acceleration due to gravity on mars is 3.71 meters per second what is the object mass
Gre4nikov [31]
The acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s/s 

<span>So a 2 kg object will accelerate at 9.8 m/s/s if it is dropped..... actually all dropped objects will accelerate at the same rate. </span>

<span>The force of gravity on the object is given by Newton's 2nd Law </span>

<span>F = m . a </span>

<span>F = 2 . 9.8 = 19.6 N </span>

<span>Now go to Mars , with a lower gravitational field strength. It only accelerates falling objects at 3.71 m/s/s </span>

<span>So the force of gravity on the object is F = 2 . 3.71 = 7.42 N </span>

<span>But the answer is (2) 2 kg, because the mass of the object stays the same and that is what you are asked for. </span>
<span>Someone was trying to be tricky.</span>
