Answer:

F_d,1 / F_d,o =  4 , Option A

Explanation:

Given:

- The velocity of the bike V_o is doubled to 2*V_o

Find:

what happens to the magnitude of the drag force?

Solution:

- The expression of the Drag force as a function of objects area, coefficient of drag, velocity and density of medium is given by:

                                 F_d = 0.5*C_d*A*p*V^2 / 2

- In our case the force of drag with speed V_o is:

                                F_d,o = 0.5*C_d*A*p*V_o^2 / 2

- force of drag with speed 2V_o is:

                                 F_d,1 = 2*C_d*A*p*V_o^2 / 2

- Take the ratio of F_d,1 to F_d,o:

                  F_d,1 / F_d,o =  (2*C_d*A*p*V_o^2 / 2) / (0.5*C_d*A*p*V_o^2 / 2)

We get:                      F_d,1 / F_d,o =  4

Hence, by doubling the speed the magnitude of drag force is increased by a factor of 4.

Well formation of metallic bond depends on free electrons.smaal sized atoms hold their electrons more firmly as compared to large size atoms ,this z due to distance of outer shell electrons by nucleus..in this way no of free electrons affect strength of metallic bond..smaal sized atoms release less free electrons..

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
