An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 0.281 m/s2 to the South for a time of 5.44 seconds. It then increases

its acceleration to 1.43 m/s2 to the South for an additional 2.42 seconds. What is the total distance moved by the object, in units of meters?

Answer:

12.0 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 0.281 m/s²

t₁ = 5.44 s

a₂ = 1.43 m/s²

t₂ = 2.42 s

Find: x

First, find the velocity reached at the end of the first acceleration.

v = at + v₀

v = (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s) + 0 m/s

v = 1.53 m/s

Next, find the position reached at the end of the first acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 0 m + (0 m/s) (5.44 s) + ½ (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s)²

x = 4.16 m

Finally, find the position reached at the end of the second acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 4.16 m + (1.53 m/s) (2.42 s) + ½ (1.43 m/s²) (2.42 s)²

x = 12.0 m

Which eletromagnetic waves have the lowest frequency radio waves micro waves x rays or gamma rays
slavikrds [6]

Answer:         Radio waves have the lowest energies, longest wavelengths, and lowest frequencies of any type of EM radiation. In order from highest to lowest energy, the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves.

A sample of oxygen gas at 25.0°c has its pressure tripled while its volume is halved. What is the final temperature of the gas?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

447 K

Explanation:

25 C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Assuming ideal gas, we can apply the ideal gas law

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

T_2 = T_1\frac{P_2}{P_1}\frac{V_2}{V_1}

Since pressure is tripled, then P_2 / P_1 = 3. Volume is halved, then V_2 / V_1 = 0.5

T_2 = 298*3*0.5 = 447 K

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 9 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power gen
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

  1. The specific mechanical energy of the air in the specific location is 40.5 J/kg.
  2. The power generation potential of the wind turbine at such place is of 2290 kW
  3. The actual electric power generation is 687 kW

Explanation:

  1. The mechanical energy of the air per unit mass is the specific kinetic energy of the air that is calculated using: \frac{1}{2} V^2 where V is the velocity of the air.
  2. The specific kinetic energy would be: \frac{1}{2}(9\frac{m}{s})^2=40.5\frac{m^2}{s^2}=40.5\frac{m^2 }{s^2}\frac{kg}{kg}=40.5\frac{N*m }{kg}=40.5\frac{J}{kg}.
  3. The power generation of the wind turbine would be obtained from the product of the mechanical energy of the air times the mass flow that moves the turbine.
  4. To calculate mass flow it is required first to calculate the volumetric flow. To calculate the volumetric flow the next expression would be: \frac{V\pi D_{blade}^2}{4} =\frac{9\frac{m}{s}\pi(80m)^2}{4} =45238.9\frac{m^3}{s}
  5. Then the mass flow is obtain from the volumetric flow times the density of the air: m_{flow}=1.25\frac{kg}{m^3}45238.9\frac{m^3}{s}=56548.7\frac{kg}{s}
  6. Then, the Power generation potential is: 40.5\frac{J}{kg} 56548.7\frac{kg}{s} =2290221W=2290.2kW
  7. The actual electric power generation is calculated using the definition of efficiency:\eta=\frac{E_P}{E_I}}, where η is the efficiency, E_P is the energy actually produced and, E_I is the energy input. Then solving for the energy produced: E_P=\eta*E_I=0.30*2290kW=687kW
