Answer:

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

Explanation:

Speed of sound in air with temperature

$v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{T}{273.15}} \\$

Here speed is in m/s and T is in celcius scale.

T = 50°F

$T=(50-32)\times \frac{5}{9}=10^0C \\$

Substituting

$v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{10}{273.15}}=337.31m/s \\$

Now we need to convert m/s in to ft/s.

1 m = 3.28 ft

Substituting

$v_{air}=337.31\times 3.28=1106.38ft/s \\$

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

An 81.5-kg man stands on a horizontal surface.

Elza [17]

Answer:

a)V= 0.0827 m³

b)P=181.11 x 10² N/m²

Explanation:

Given that

m = 81.5 kg

Density ,ρ = 985 kg/m³

As we know that

Mass = Volume x Density

81.5 = V x 985

V= 0.0827 m³

The force exerted by weight = m g

F= m g= 81.5 x 10 = 815 N ( Take ,g= 10 m/s²)

Area ,A= 4.5 x 10⁻² m²

The Pressure P

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$P = \dfrac{815}{4.5\times 10^{-2}}\ N/m^2$

P=181.11 x 10² N/m²

In which case does viscosity play a dominant role? Case A: a typical bacterium (size ~ 1 mm1 mm and velocity ~ 20 mm/s20 mm/s) i

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Case A

Explanation:

given,

size of bacteria = 1 mm x 1 mm

velocity = 20 mm/s

size of the swimmer = 1.5 m x 1.5 m

velocity of swimmer = 3 m/s

Viscous force

$F = \eta A \dfrac{dv}{dx}$

for the bacteria

$F = \eta \times 10^{-6}\times 20\times 10^{-3}$

$F =2\times 10^{-8} \eta\ N$

for the swimmer

$F = \eta \times 1.5^2\times 3$

$F =6.75 \eta\ N$

from the above force calculation

In case B inertial force that represent mass is more than the inertial force in case of bacteria.

Viscous force is dominant in case of bacteria.

So, In Case A viscous force will be dominant.

On a sky coaster (human pendulum) that reaches 10 meters from it's equilibrium position, a man of 120 kg is able to reach a maxi

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, assuming any losses.

Kinetic energy is given by ½mv²

Potential energy is given by mgh

Where m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

Equating kinetic energy to be equal to potential energy then

½mv²=mgh

Making v the subject of the formula

v=√(2gh)

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g and 10 m for h then

v=√(2*9.81*10)=14.0071410359145 m/s

Rounding off, v is approximately 14 m/s

In a certain time interval, natural gas with energy content of 19000 J was piped into a house during a winter day. In the same t

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Explanation:

The equation form of thermodynamics is,

ΔQ=ΔU+W

Here, ΔQ is the heat transferred, ΔU is the change in internal energy, and W is the work done.

Substitute 0 J for W and 0 J for ΔU

ΔQ = 0J+0J

ΔQ = 0J

The change in internal energy is equal to zero because the temperature changes of the house didn’t change. The work done is zero because the volume did not change

The heat transfer is,

ΔQ=Q (in ) −Q (out )

Substitute 19000 J + 2000 J for Q(in) and 0 J for Q(out)

ΔQ=(19000J+2000J)−(0J)

=21,000J

Thus, the amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Gwar [14]

Newtons 1st law of motion states that the object will continue to move at its present speed and direction until an outside force acts upon it.

So unless the objects inside the car are restrained, they will continue moving at whatever speed the car is traveling at, even if the car is stopped by a crash.
