Thomas Newcomen was the first to produce a working steam engine. Why is the work of James Watt more widely known than the work o

f Newcomen?

1 answer:
LenaWriter [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The steam engine of James watt is more efficient than Newcomen ans more suitable for the industrial revolution.

Explanation:

James Watt is more widely know for working steam engine because Watt has created better engine which is suitable for the industrial revolution. The steam engine of James watt is more efficient than Newcomen. Watt developed the condensing arrangement by using piston which lessen the initial pressure leading to effectively worked than Newcomen's

Alex, parked by the side of an east-west road, is watching car P, which is moving in a westerly direction. Barbara, driving east
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

v_{PB} = 130\ km/h

Explanation:

Since, Alex is at rest. Therefore, the speed measured by him will be the absolute speed of car P. Therefore, taking easterly direction as positive:

Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Car\ P = v_{P} = -78\ km/h

And the absolute velocity of Barbara's Car is given as:Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Barbara's\ Car = v_{B} = 52\ km/h

Now, for the velocity of Car p with respect to the velocity of Barbara's Car can be given s follows:

Velocity\ of\ Car\ P\ measured\ by\ Barbara = v_{PB} = v_{B}-v_{P}\\\\v_{PB} = 52\ km/h-(-78\ km/h)

v_{PB} = 130\ km/h

An elevator accelerates upward at 1.2 m/s 2 . the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . what is the upward force exerted by the
Marysya12 [62]
We can find the force by using the following formula;
N = ma +  mg
Fa = ma = 76 x 1.2 = 91.2
Fg = mg = 76 x 9.8 = 744.8
N = 91.2 + 744.8 = 836
So, the force is 836 N.

Compare and contrast four types <br> of friction
malfutka [58]
Some of these frictions depend on the Pressure, temperature of atmosphere.

Static Friction: This is the  friction force when two objects in contact  are not moving relative to each other. This friction is higher than kinetic friction.

Kinetic or Dynamic friction: this the friction force opposing the motion of objects, when two objects in contact are in motion relative to each other.  It is less than the static friction. The two surfaces are rubbing against each other as they move.

Rolling friction:  This is the friction when two objects are in contact and one object is rolling over the other - like a wheel on a road. The point of contact appears as stationary. The rolling friction is very less compared to static friction & dynamic friction.

Lubricated friction: this is the friction between two solid surfaces in contact with a layer of lubricant fluid flowing in between them. This friction is the least.

Fluid friction - viscosity :  this is friction between two adjacent layers that are moving relative to each other at different speeds in a fluid.  This is not high.

Internal friction: when an object is compressed and forced to deform, like in a piece of rubber, there is friction between the layers, that opposes this deformation.

Skin friction is the friction that opposes movement of a fluid across a solid surface.  This is also called drag.  When a coin is dropped in water, there is a friction called drag on the coin. Same is the case when a ball is thrown, a drag is experienced by the ball due to the drag of air.

A potential difference of 300 volts is applied to a 2.0-µf capacitor and an 8.0-µf capacitor connected in series. (a) What are t
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

a) Q1=Q2=480μC   V1=240V   V2=60V

b) Q1=96μC   Q2=384μC   V1=V2=48V

c) Q1=Q2=0C    V1=V2=0V

Explanation:

Let C1 = 2μC  and  C2=8μC

For part (a) of this problem, we know that charge in a series circuit, is the same in C1 and C2. Having this in mind, we can calculate equivalent capacitance first:

C=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{C1} +\frac{1}{C2} } = 1.6\mu C

Q_{T} = V_{T}*C_{T} = 480\mu C

V1 = \frac{Q1}{C1}=240V

V2 = \frac{Q2}{C2}=60V

For part (b), the capacitors are in parallel now. In this condition, the voltage is the same for both capacitors:

V1=V2   So,  \frac{Q1}{C1} = \frac{Q2}{C2}

Total charge is the same calculated for part (a), so:

\frac{Qt - Q2}{C1} = \frac{Q2}{C2}   Solving for Q2:

Q2 = 384μC    Q1 = 96μC.

Therefore:

V1=V2=48V

For part (c), both capacitors would discharge, since their total voltage of 300V would by applied to a wire (R=0Ω). There would flow a huge amount of current for a short period of time, and capacitors would be completely discharged. Q1=Q2=0C  V1=V2=0V
