At 45° latitude, the gravitational acceleration as a function of elevation z above sea level is given by g = a − bz , where a =

9.807 m/s2 and b = 3.32 × 10−6 s−2 . Determine the height above sea level where the weight of an object will decrease by 0.3 percent. Answer: 8862 m

Answer:

8861.75 m approximately 8862 m

Explanation:

We need to remember Newton's 2nd Law which says that the force experienced by an object is proportional to his acceleration and that the constant of proportionality between those two vectors correspond to the mass of the object.

F=ma for the weight of an object (which is a force) we have that the acceleration experienced by that object is equal to the gravitational acceleration, obtaining that  W = mg

For simplicity we work with g =9.807 \frac{m}{s^{2}} despiting the effect of the height above sea level. In this problem, we've been asked by the height above sea level that makes the weight of an object 0.30% more lighter.

In accord with the formula g = a-bz the "normal" or "standard" weight of an object is given by W = mg = ma when z = 0, so we need to find the value of z that makes W = m(a-bz) = 0.997ma meaning that the original weight decrease by a 0.30%, so now we operate...

m(a-bz) = 0.997ma now we group like terms on the same sides ma(1-0.997) = mbz we cancel equal tems on both sides and obtain that z = \frac{a}{b} (0.003) = \frac{9.807 \frac{m}{s^{2} } }{3.32*10^{-6} s^{-2} } (0.003) = 8861.75 m

The Cv factor for a valve is 48. Compute the head loss when 30 GPM of water passes through the valve.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.

Explanation:

Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss. Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss when passes through the valve as well.

Given:

Factor cv is 48.

Flow rate of water is 30 GPM.

GPM means gallon per minute.

Calculation:

Step1

Expression for head loss for the water is given as follows:

c_{v}=\frac{Q}{\sqrt{h}}

Here, cv is valve coefficient, Q is flow rate in GPM and h is head loss is psi.

Step2

Substitute 48 for cv and 30 for Q in above equation as follows:

48=\frac{30}{\sqrt{h}}

{\sqrt{h}}=0.625

h = 0.390625 psi.

Thus, the head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.

Seperate real and imaginary parts tan(2x+i3y)
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

First you have to separate real and imaginary parts of Tan(x+iy)=Tan(z)=sin(z)/cos(z)

sinz=sin(x+iy)=sinxcos(iy)+cosxsin(iy)=sinxcoshy-icosx sinhy

cosz=cos(x+iy)=cosxcos(iy)-sinxsin(iy)=cosxcoshy−isinxsinhy

Now if you plug in Tan(z) and simplify (it is easy!) you get

Tan(z)=(sin(2x)+isinh(2y))/(cos(2x)+cosh(2y))= A+iB.

This means that

A=sin(2x)/(cos(2x)+cosh(2y)) and B= sinh(2y)/(cos(2x)+cosh(2y))

Now,

A/B=sin(2x)/sinh(2y)

The electron concentration in silicon at T = 300 K is given by
puteri [66]

Answer:

E=1.44*10^-7-2.6exp(\frac{-x}{18} )v/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Temperature of silicon T=300k

Electron concentration n(x)=10^{16}\exp (\frac{-x}{18})

                                        \frac{dn}{dx}=(10^{16} *(\frac{-1}{16})\exp\frac{-x}{16})

Electron diffusion coefficient is Dn = 25cm^2/s \approx 2.5*10^{-3}

Electron mobility is \mu n = 960 cm^2/V-s \approx0.096m/V

Electron current density Jn = -40 A/cm^2 \approx -40*10^{4}A/m^2

Generally the equation for the semiconductor is mathematically given by

Jn=qb_n\frac{dn}{dx}+nq \mu E

Therefore

-40*10^{4}=1.6*10^{-19} *(2.5*10^{-3})*(10^{16} *(\frac{-1}{16})\exp\frac{-x}{16})+(10^{16}\exp (\frac{-x}{18}))*1.6*10^{-19}*0.096* E

E=\frac{-2.5*10^-^7 exp(\frac{-x}{18})+40*10^{4}}{1.536*10^-4exp(\frac{-x}{18} )}

E=1.44*10^-7-2.6exp(\frac{-x}{18} )v/m

Soils with low percolation rates do not need special attention during site engineering. select one: true false
saveliy_v [14]

It is accurate to say that site engineering does not require particular consideration for soils with low percolation rates.

<h3>What are percolation rates?</h3>
  • The rate at which water percolates through the soil is a measure of its ability to absorb and treat effluent, or wastewater that has undergone preliminary treatment in a septic tank.
  • Minutes per inch are used to measure percolation rate (mpi).
  • The process of a liquid gently moving through a filter is called percolation. This is how coffee is typically brewed.
  • The Latin verb percolare, which meaning "to strain through," is the source of the word "percolation." When liquid is strained through a filter, such as when making coffee, percolation occurs.

To learn more about percolation rates, refer to:
