Since a typical smelt has 1.04 ppm of PCB is great lakes. So the amount of PCB in a smelt in great leak can be calculated by multiplying the mass of smelt by the pcbs present in a smelt

225 g * ( 1.04/100000) = 2.34 x10^-4 g pcbs

A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 2.05 104 m/s. What will its speed be wh
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The value is  v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  initial speed is u =  2.05 *10^{4} \  m/s

 Generally the total energy possessed by the space probe when on earth is mathematically represented as

             T__{E}} =  KE__{i}} +  KE__{e}}

Here  KE_i is the kinetic energy of the space probe due to its initial speed which is mathematically represented as

          KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  u^2

=>       KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  (2.05 *10^{4})^2

=>       KE_i =  2.101 *10^{8} \ \ m \ \ J

And  KE_e is the kinetic energy that the space probe requires to escape the Earth's gravitational pull , this is mathematically represented as

       KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v_e^2

Here v_e is the escape velocity from earth which has a value v_e =  11.2 *10^{3} \  m/s

=>    KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  (11.3 *10^{3})^2

=>    KE_e =  6.272 *10^{7} \  \  m  \ \   J

Generally given that at a position that is very far from the earth that the is Zero, the kinetic energy at that position is mathematically represented as

        KE_p =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

Generally from the law energy conservation we have that

        T__{E}} =  KE_p

So

       2.101 *10^{8}  m  +  6.272 *10^{7}  m  =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

=>     5.4564 *10^{8} =   v^2

=>     v =  \sqrt{5.4564 *10^{8}}

=>     v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

\mathrm{b.\:}0.17\:\mathrm{miles/minute}

Explanation:

Average speed is given by S=\frac{d}{t} where d is total distance and t is time.

Plugging in given values, we get:

S=\frac{5\:\mathrm{miles}}{30\:\mathrm{minutes}}=\fbox{$\mathrm{b.\:}0.17\:\mathrm{miles/minute}$}.

Anyone please helps me with this question... I'm stuck..

Highest fluid potential energy: answer A
Because the fluid is pushed upwards and potential energy is function of height. Since point A is the highest, there is the highest potential energy.

highest fluid pressure: answer C
This is because it is at the bottom where you have a hydrostatic pressure component

increasing fluid speed: answer B
This is because the section of the pipe is smaller and in order to have the same fluid flow rate the speed must increase
