Answer : The correct option is (c).

Explanation :

The energy which is due to the height of an object under the action of gravity is called gravitational potential energy.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

P = m g h

Where,

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object from the reference level

So, potential energy is directly proportional to both the mass and the height.

The statement about the largest increase in a mountain climber’s gravitational potential energy is "carrying twice the weight and climbing twice as high".

Considerando que los coeficientes de dilatación de los siguientes metales son: hierro 11.7 x 10-6; plomo 27.3 x 10-6; cobre 16.7
Rasek [7]

Answer:

el plomo será el más largo

Explanation:

Dado que;

longitud inicial (l1) = 4m

Longitud final l2

aumento de temperatura (θ) = 10 ° C

Coeficiente de expansión lineal α

Ahora para el hierro;

α = 11,7 x 10-6

Desde;

l2-l / l1θ = α

l2 = α l1θ + l1

l2 = l1 (αθ + 1)

l2 = 4 ((11,7 x 10-6 * 10) + 1)

l2 = 4.00044 m

Para el plomo

l2 = 4 ((27,3 x 10-6 * 10) + 1)

l2 = 4,00109 m

Para cobre

l2 = 4 ((16,7 x 10-6 * 10) + 1)

l2 = 4.000668 m

Por lo tanto, el plomo será el más largo

Some of the following statements regarding heat exchangers is (are) wrong, namely (A) Heat exchangers are devices where two movi
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

A,B,D,E are wrong

(A) Heat exchangers are devices where two moving fluid streams are mixed together (B) Heat exchangers are devices where two moving fluid streams exchange mass (D) Heat exchangers are devices where two moving fluid streams exchange mechanical work without mixing together (E) There is no heat transfer between the two fluids of an insulated heat exchanger

Explanation:

A heat exchanger can be regarded as a system that bring about transfer heat between two or more than two fluids. It can function in cooling process and heating processes, the fluids involves in this process can have a solid wall to separate them so as to prevent mixing, direct contact could also be utilized. The mechanism is making hot gas jets which could fire upward over a glowing water that is passing through pipes, as water moves along the pipe, heat energy is been absorbed and there is heating up i.e heat is transferred. One is cooked the other is heated up. It is very essential to insulate the whole steam system along with heat exchangers so that energy could be saved and the temperature of the surface would be at safe-to-touch range and also steam quality could be maintained. The types of heat exchanger we have are;

✓Shell and tube heat exchangers.

✓Condensers, evaporators, and boilers

✓Double pipe heat exchangers.

✓Plate heat exchangers.

It should be noted Heat exchangers are devices where two moving fluid streams exchange heat (thermal energy) without mixing together
