Advocard [28]3 years ago

Answer:

Power =  50204 [watts]

Explanation:

We know that the power is defined by the following expression:

Power = Work/time

where:

Power [watts]

time [seconds]

The work done will be the following:

Work = Force * distance [Joules]

Force[Newtons]

distance[meters]

Force = mass* gravity

Force=290 [kg]*9.81[m/s^2] =2844.9[N]

Work = 2844.9[N]*300[m] = 853470[J]

Therefore

Power = 853470 / 17 = 50204 [watts]

A flywheel with radius of 0.400 mm starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600 rad/s2rad/s2.
charle [14.2K]

Answer: 0.00024\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Radius of flywheel is r=0.4\ mm

Angular acceleration \alpha=0.6\ rad/s^2

For no change in radius, tangential acceleration is  given as

\Rightarrow a_t=a\lpha \times r

Insert the values

\Rightarrow a_t=0.6\times 0.4\times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2\\\Rightarrow a_t=2.4\times 10^{-4}\ m/s^2\ \text{or}\ 0.00024\ m/s^2

An electric motor with a 1200 hp output drives a machine with an efficiency of 60%. What is the energy output of the machine per
kirill [66]

Answer:

536,904 J/s

Explanation:

The energy output from motor is the input energy in the machine.

We know that efficiency is percentage energy ouput to energy input, and expressed as

n=\frac {E_o}{E_i}

Where n and E represent efficiency and energy respectively, subscripts o and i represent output and input respectively. Since for the machine we have the input energy then the output will be the product of efficiency and input energy

Energy output=0.6*1200 hp=720 hp

Converting hp to J/s we multiply by 745.7

Energy is 720*745.7=536,904 J/s

solniwko [45]

Answer:

glass if for a good view, but for absorbing heat concrete and brick is the best

Explanation:

wood is not a good idea bc it can cause fires from too much heat and it absorbs less heat but all of that depends on how good the material your using

maria [59]

The correct answer for the statement “All the scientific theories used to explain the formation of the solar system are non-testable”. The answers outdated, imaginative and unacceptable are wrong. These theories are not proven and yet are not tested due to the complexity.

A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region
Annette [7]

Answer: (a) Z-score are 1 and -1.2 for northern and southern regions, respectively.

Explanation: <u>Z-score</u> is how many standard deviations a data is from the population mean or how far a data point is from the mean.

The z-score is calculated by the following:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

where

x is the data point

μ is population mean

σ is standard deviation

For the <u>northern</u> <u>region</u> birds:

μ = 10, σ = 3, x = 13

z=\frac{13-10}{3}

z = 1

The z-score for birds living in the northern region is 1, which means it is 1 standard deviation <em>above the mean</em>.

For the southern region:

μ = 16, σ = 2.5, x = 13

z=\frac{13-16}{2.5}

z = -1.2

The z-score for southern living birds is -1.2, meaning it is 1.2 standard deviations <em>below the mean</em>.
