Answer:

a)\dot V = 0.28335 m3/s

b)\dot W_{in} = 259.63 kW

Explanation:

part a)

inlet volume of air V1 is given as = \frac{RT_1}{P_1}

putting all value in the above formula

V_1 = = \frac{0.1889 kpa - m3/kg .K * 300 K}{100kPa}

V_1 = 0.5667 m3/kg

we know that  volume of flow rate

\dot V = \dot mV_1

\dot V = 0.5 kg/s *0.5667 m3/kg = 0.28335 m3/s

\dot V = 0.28335 m3/s

part b

we know that total energy remain constant, so we have

E_in - E_out = Change in energy in system

E_in = E_out

therefore

\dot W_{in} + \dot m h_1 =\dot m h_2

\dot W_{in} = \dot m h_2- \dot m h_1

the power input to the compressor is

\dot W_{in} = \dot m c_p (h_2- h_1 )

\dot W_{in} = 0.5*5.1926*(450-350 )

\dot W_{in} = 259.63 kW

Energy is being transferred into the gas particles. Since temperature is also being increased due to the increased pressure. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles. Therefore energy transfers to the gas.

The portion of the visible spectrum that appears brightest to the human eye is approximately 560 nm in wavelength, which corresp
luda_lava [24]

By definition we know that we can calculate the frequency of an electromagnetic wave by wavelength, using the following equation:

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Where:

λ is the wavelength.

c is the speed of light

f is the frequency.

Then:

560\ nm = 560\ x\ 10^{-9}\ m

So:

f =\frac{c}{\lambda}

We know that the speed of light is:

c = 300\ 000\ km/s\ = 3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s

So:

f = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{560\ x\ 10^{-9}\ m}

f = 5.357\ x\ 10^{14}\ Hz

Finally, the frequency is 5.357\ x\ 10^{14}\ Hz

A crane lifts up two boxes. A picture of a crane with a cable hanging down labeled Rope 1, which is attached to a box labeled A.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The free body diagram showing the forces acting on block A is diagram 3; option C.

<h3>What are free body diagrams?</h3>

Free body diagrams are simple diagrams which are used to illustrate the magnitude and direction of the forces acting on the body.

The diagram of the crane and boxes as well as the free body diagrams are shown in the attached image.

Three forces are acting on A as follows:

  • The force of gravity acting downward, represented by F_{gA}
  • The tension in the rope 1, pulling block A upwards, represented by
  • F_{T1}The tension in the rope 2, due to the weight of block B, pulling block A downwards, represented by F_{T2}

Therefore, diagram 3 is correct.

In conclusion, free body diagram shows the forces acting on a body as well as their direction of action.
