A hair dryer is basically a duct of constant diameter in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls

the air in and forces it through the resistors where it is heated. If the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3 at the inlet and 1.015 kg/m3 at the exit, determine the percent increase in the velocity of air as it flows through the dryer

Answer:

Therefore % increase in velocity is 18.23 %

Explanation:

we use the equality of mass flow rate and the areas

m_1 = m_2\\p_1v_1 = p_2v_2\\p_1A_1v_1 = p_2A_2v_2\\v_2 = \frac{p_1}{p_2} v_1

The percentage increase in velocity is

Δ v% = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{v_1} \\100%

= \frac{p_1}{p_2} v_1 - v_1.100%

= \frac{\frac{1.2}{1.015} - 1}{1} . 100%

= Therefore % increase in velocity is 18.23 %

How fast does a 2 MeV fission neutron travel through a reactor core?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

The answer is 1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s

Explanation:

The amount of energy is not enough to apply the relativistic formula of energy E = mc^2, so the definition of energy in this case is

E = \frac{1}{2}m v^2.

From the last equation,

v= \sqrt{2E/m}

where

E = 2 MeV = 3.204 \times 10^{-13} J

and the mass of the neutron is

m = 1.675\times 10^{-27}\ Kg.

Then

v = 1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s

the equivalent of 0.065 the speed of light.

Railroad cars are loosely coupled so that there is a noticeable time delay from the time the first and last car is moved from re
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Without this slack, a locomotive might simply sit still and spin its wheels. The loose coupling enables a longer time for the entire train to gain momentum, requiring less force of the locomotive wheels against the track. In this way, the overall required impulse is broken into a series of smaller impulses. (This loose coupling can be very important for braking as well).

How are balanced & unbalanced forces related to net force?
Levart [38]

Answer:

An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... A net force = unbalanced force. If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.
