A rock is thrown straight upward off the edge of a balcony that is 5 m above the ground. The rock rises 10 m, then falls all the

way down to the ground below the balcony. What is the rock's displacement?

Displacement = distance and direction from the start-point
to the end-point, regardless of the route followed on the way.

From the throw to the 'plop', the displacement is 5 meters down.

The intensity of electromagnetic waves from the sun is 1.4kW/m2 just above the earth's atmosphere. Eighty percent of this reache

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$E=8.02*10^{5}J$

Explanation:

Given data

Electromagnetic waves from the sun is I=1.4kW/m² at 80%

Area a=(0.30×0.51)m²

Time t=1.30 hr

To find

Energy E

Solution

The energy received by your back is calculated as:

$E=Pt=Iat\\E=(0.80)(1400W/m^{2} )(0.30*0.51m^{2} )(1.30*3600s)\\E=8.02*10^{5}J$

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine steadily at 7 MPa, 5008C, and 45 m/s, and leaves at 100 kPa and 75 m/s. If the power output of

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

a) $\dot m = 6.878\,\frac{kg}{s}$ , b) $T = 104.3^{\textdegree}C$ , c) $\dot S_{gen} = 11.8\,\frac{kW}{K}$

Explanation:

a) The turbine is modelled by means of the First Principle of Thermodynamics. Changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible.

$-\dot W_{out} + \dot m \cdot (h_{in}-h_{out}) = 0$

The mass flow rate is:

$\dot m = \frac{\dot W_{out}}{h_{in}-h_{out}}$

According to property water tables, specific enthalpies and entropies are:

State 1 - Superheated steam

$P = 7000\,kPa$

$T = 500^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 3411.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 6.8000\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

State 2s - Liquid-Vapor Mixture

$P = 100\,kPa$

$h = 2467.32\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 6.8000\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

$x = 0.908$

The isentropic efficiency is given by the following expression:

$\eta_{s} = \frac{h_{1}-h_{2}}{h_{1}-h_{2s}}$

The real specific enthalpy at outlet is:

$h_{2} = h_{1} - \eta_{s}\cdot (h_{1}-h_{2s})$

$h_{2} = 3411.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 0.77\cdot (3411.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 2467.32\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )$

$h_{2} = 2684.46\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

State 2 - Superheated Vapor

$P = 100\,kPa$

$T = 104.3^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 2684.46\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 7.3829\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

The mass flow rate is:

$\dot m = \frac{5000\,kW}{3411.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg} -2684.46\,\frac{kJ}{kg}}$

$\dot m = 6.878\,\frac{kg}{s}$

b) The temperature at the turbine exit is:

$T = 104.3^{\textdegree}C$

c) The rate of entropy generation is determined by means of the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

$\dot m \cdot (s_{in}-s_{out}) + \dot S_{gen} = 0$

$\dot S_{gen}=\dot m \cdot (s_{out}-s_{in})$

$\dot S_{gen} = (6.878\,\frac{kg}{s})\cdot (7.3829\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} - 6.8000\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} )$

$\dot S_{gen} = 11.8\,\frac{kW}{K}$

The mass of a large car is 1000 kg. How much force would be required to accelerate the car at a rate of 3 m/sec2?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: 3000 Newton

Explanation:

Mass of large car = 1000 kg.

Acceleration of the car = 3 m/sec2

Force = ?

Recall that force is the product of mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves.

Thus, Force = Mass x Acceleration

Force = 1000 kg x 3 m/sec2

= 3000 Newton

Thus, 3000 Newton of force would be required to accelerate the car
