Answer by mimiwhatsup: B) Velocity is a vector and requires a direction to completely describe it.

Velocity is the speed and direction of an object in motion.

Explanation:

Speed : It is defined as the overall distance travelled by an object divided by total time taken. The mathematical expression is given by :

s=\dfrac{d}{t}

It is a scalar quantity i.e. it has only magnitude.

Velocity : It is defined as the total displacement (D) of the particle divided by total time taken. It can be given by :

v=\dfrac{D}{t}

It is a vector quantity. It have both magnitude and direction.

Out of given options, the statement that best explains the difference between velocity and speed is (B) i.e. "Velocity is a vector and requires a direction to completely describe it".

An insulated pipe carries steam at 300°C. The pipe is made of stainless steel (with k = 15 W/mK), has an inner diameter is 4 cm,
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(i) The rate of heat loss per-unit-length (W/m) from the pipe is 131.62 W

(ii) The temperature of the outer surface of the insulation is 49.89 °C

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the heat transferred is given by

Q = \frac{2\pi L(t_{hf} - t_{cf}) }{\frac{1}{h_{hf}r_1}+\frac{ln(r_2/r_1)}{k_A} + \frac{ln(r_3/r_2)}{k_B} +\frac{1}{h_{cf}r_3}}

Where

t_{hf} = Temperature at the inside of the pipe = 300 °C

t_{f} = Temperature at the outside of the pipe = 20 °C

r₁ =internal  radius of pipe = 4.0 cm

r₂ = Outer radius of pipe = 4.5 cm

r₃ = Outer radius of the insulation = r₂ + 2.5 = 7.0 cm

k_A = 15 W/m·K

k_B = 0.038 W/m·K

h_{hf} = 75 W/m²·K

h_{cf} = 10 W/m²·K

Plugging in the values in the above equation where for a unit length L = 1 m, we have

Q = 131.32 W

From which we have, for the film of air at the pipe outer boundary layer

Q = \frac{t_A-t_B}{R_T} Where R_T for the air film on the pipe outer surface is given by

R_T= \frac{1}{\alpha A}

where A =area of the outside of the pipe

= \frac{1}{10*2\pi*0.07*1 } = 0.227 K/W

Therefore

131.32 W = \frac{t_A-20}{0.227} which gives

t_A = 49.89 °C

Heat transferred by radiation = q' = ε×σ×(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)

Where ε = 0.9, σ, = 5.67×10⁻⁸W/m²·(K⁴)

T₁ = Surface temperature of the pipe = 49.89 °C and

T₂ = Temperature of the surrounding = 20.00 °C

Plugging in the values gives, q' = 0.307 W per m²

Total heat lost per unit length = 131.32 + 0.307 =131.62 W

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.32 with the floor. If t
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down

On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis

    Y axis

     N- W = 0

     N = W = mg

  X axis

     -Fr = m a

     -μ N = m a

     -μ mg = ma

     a = μ g

     a  = - 0.32 9.8

     a =  - 3.14 m/s²

We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations

    Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x

     x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a

When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)

 Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s

     x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)

     x=  35.8 m

The shortest braking distance is  35.8 m
