Determine the speed of sound in air at 300 K. Also determine the Mach number of an aircraft moving in the air at a velocity of 3

00 m/s. The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kJ/kg·K. Its specific heat ratio at room temperature is k = 1.4.

Answer:

c_3_0_0_K=347.19m/s

M=0.864

Explanation:

The speed of sound in the air increases 0.6 m / s for every 1 ° C increase in temperature.  An approximate speed can be calculated using the following empirical formula:

c=331.5+0.6\vartheta

Where:

\vartheta=T-273.15K\\\\

A more exact equation, usually referred to as adiabatic velocity of sound, is given by the following formula:

c=\sqrt{k*R*T}

Where:

R= Gas\hspace{3}constant\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}air=0.287kJ/kg*K=287J/kg*K\\k=Specific\hspace{3}heat\hspace{3}ratio=1.4\\T=Temperature=300K

Hence:

c=\sqrt{(287)*(1.4)*(300)} =347.1887095\approx347.19m/s

Now, the Mach number at which an aircraft is flying can be calculated by:

M=\frac{u}{c}

Where:

u= Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}moving\hspace{3}aircraft\\c= Speed\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}sound\hspace{3}at\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}given \hspace{3}altitude

Therefore:

M=\frac{300}{347.19} =0.8640833984\approx0.864

1. Millions of gallons of water are wasted by households in America on a yearly basis as a result of wastage of water in the laundry rooms. There are many ways by which water can be conserved in the laundry room, these include:
1. Using a high efficiency washing machine.
2. Choosing the right load sizes and cycles when using washing machines.
3. Wearing clothes more than once before washing them.
4. Collection of grey and rain water.
5. Treat difficult stains before washing them.

2. Using a high efficiency machine will ensure that water is used efficiently. A high efficiency washing machine uses much less water and save about 6,000 gallons of water for an average family on a yearly basis according to Environmental Protection Agency. 
Grey water refers to water that have used once. Water that has been used for washing clothes or bathing can be collected again, recycle and use for some household needs such as gardening, flushing of toilet, etc. Water tanks can also be installed to collect rain water which can be used for washing clothes. This will have positive effect on household overall water consumption.

When a 10 V battery is connected to a resistor, 5 A of current flows through the resistor. What is the resistor's value?
SashulF [63]

Given data

*The value of battery voltage is V = 10 V

*The current flows through the resistor is I = 5 A

The formula for the resistor is given by the Ohm's law as

R=\frac{V}{I}

Substitute the values in the above expression as

\begin{gathered} R=\frac{10}{5} \\ =2\text{ ohm} \end{gathered}
