A 52.0-kg person, running horizontally with a velocity of +3.63 m/s, jumps onto a 15.2-kg sled that is initially at rest. (a) Ig

noring the effects of friction during the collision, find the velocity of the sled and person as they move away. (b) The sled and person coast 30.0 m on level snow before coming to rest. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow?

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

Explanation:

Given that:

M = mass of person = 52 kg

m = mass of sled = 15.2 kg

U = initial velocity of person = 3.63 m/s

u = initial velocity of sled = 0 m/s

After collision, the person and the sled would move with the same velocity V.

a) According to law of momentum conservation:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

MU + mu = (M + m)V

$V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}$

Substituting values:

$V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}=\frac{52(3.63)+15.2(0)}{52+15.2} =2.81m/s$

The velocity of the sled and person as they move away is 2.81 m/s

b) acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

d = 30 m

Using the formula:

$V^2=2\mu(gd)\\\mu=\frac{V^2}{2gd} \\\mu=\frac{2.81^2}{2*9.8*30} =0.0134$

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

A sphere has surface area 1.25 m2, emissivity 1.0, and temperature 100.0°C. What is the rate at which it radiates heat into empt

Yuri [45]

The total power emitted by an object via radiation is:
$P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4$
where:
A is the surface of the object (in our problem, $A=1.25 m^2$
$\epsilon$ is the emissivity of the object (in our problem, $\epsilon=1$ )
$\sigma = 5.67 \cdot 10^{-8} W/(m^2 K^4)$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant
T is the absolute temperature of the object, which in our case is $T=100^{\circ} C=373 K$

Substituting these values, we find the power emitted by radiation:
$P=(1.25 m^2)(1.0)(5.67 \cdot 10^{-8}W/(m^2K^4)})(373 K)^4=1371 W = 1.4 kW$
So, the correct answer is D.

North Dakota Electric Company estimates its demand trend line (in millions of kilowatt hours) to be: D = 75.0 + 0.45Q, whe

Alborosie

Answer:

The demand forecast for winter is 96.36 millions KWH

The demand forecast for spring is 145.08 millions KWH

The demand forecast for summer is 169.89 millions KWH

The demand forecast for fall is 73.08 millions KWH

Explanation:

Given that,

The demand trend line is

$D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors$

We need to calculate the demand forecast for winter

Using given formula

$D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors$

Put the value into the formula

$D=(75.0+0.45\times101)\times0.80$

$D=96.36\ millions\ KWH$

We need to calculate the demand forecast for spring

Using given formula

$D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors$

Put the value into the formula

$D=(75.0+0.45\times102)\times1.20$

$D=145.08\ millions\ KWH$

We need to calculate the demand forecast for summer

Using given formula

$D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors$

Put the value into the formula

$D=(75.0+0.45\times103)\times1.40$

$D=169.89\ millions KWH$

We need to calculate the demand forecast for fall

Using given formula

$D=(75.0+0.45Q)\times multiplicative\ seasonal\ factors$

Put the value into the formula

$D=(75.0+0.45\times104)\times0.60$

$D=73.08\ millions KWH$

Hence, The demand forecast for winter is 96.36 millions KWH

The demand forecast for spring is 145.08 millions KWH

The demand forecast for summer is 169.89 millions KWH

The demand forecast for fall is 73.08 millions KWH

In a 100 mm diameter horizontal pipe, a venturimeter of 0.5 contraction ratio has been fitted. The head of water on the meter wh

Answer:

the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the pipe = 100mm = 0.1m

Contraction ratio = 0.5

thus, diameter at the throat of venturimeter = 0.5×0.1m = 0.05m

The formula for discharge through a venturimeter is given as:

$Q=C_d\frac{A_1A_2}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}\sqrt{2gh}$

Where,

$C_d$ is the coefficient of discharge = 0.97 (given)

A₁ = Area of the pipe

A₁ = $\frac{\pi}{4}0.1^2 = 7.85\times 10^{-3}m^2$

A₂ = Area at the throat

A₂ = $\frac{\pi}{4}0.05^2 = 1.96\times 10^{-3}m^2$

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Now,

The gauge pressure at throat = Absolute pressure - The atmospheric pressure

⇒The gauge pressure at throat = 2 - 10.3 = -8.3 m (Atmosphric pressure = 10.3 m of water)

Thus, the pressure difference at the throat and the pipe = 3- (-8.3) = 11.3m

Substituting the values in the discharge formula we get

$Q=0.97\frac{7.85\times 10^{-3}\times 1.96\times 10^{-3}}{\sqrt{7.85\times 10^{-3}^2-1.96\times 10^{-3}^2}}\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.3}$

or

$Q=\frac{0.97\times15.42\times 10^{-6}\times 14.88}{7.605\times 10^{-3}}$

or

Q = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s

Hence, the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s
