Answer:

My answer is 7.2 km

Explanation:

When Stephen goes to the south and then to the east, he is drawing a right triangle, where the 4 km and 6 km sides are the cathetus of a right triangle.

Then we use the Pithagorean theorem to solve this problem. We need to find the hypotenuse.

c² = a² + b²

c² = 4² + 6²

c² = 16 + 36

c² = 52

c = 7.2 km

The vacuum pressure of a condenser is given to be 80 kpa. if the atmospheric pressure is 98 kpa, what is the gage pressure and a

dimaraw [331]

The absolute pressure is given by the equation,

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}-P_{vac}$

Here, $P_{abs}$ is absolute pressure, $P_{atm}$ is atmospheric pressure and $P_{vac}$ is vacuum pressure.

Therefore,

$P_{abs}=98 kPa-80 kPa=18kPa$

The gage pressure is given by the equation,

$P_{gage}=P_{abs}-P_{atm}$ .

Thus,

$P_{gage}=18kPa-98 kPa=-80 kPa$ .

In kn/m^2,

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =18\ kN/m^2$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =-80\ kN/m^2$ .

In lbf/in2

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=2.6\ lbf/in^2$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=-11.6\ lbf/in^2$

In psi,

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa})=2.610\ psi$ .

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa} )=-11.6030\ psi$

In mm Hg

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})= 135\ mm\ of\ Hg$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})=-600\ mm\ of\ Hg$

Burka [1]

This being a perfect collision means no energy is lost during the collision. Because this question asks for speed and not velocity, the speed will be the same because the final energy is the same. The speed after the collision would therefore be 1.27 m/s.
