Answer:

The time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave is 4.46 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed of the wave, v = 59 km/h = 16.38 m/s

Wavelength of the wave, \lambda=145\ m

If f is the frequency of the wave. The frequency of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{16.38\ m/s}{145\ m}\\\\f=0.112\ Hz

The time period of the wave is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\T=\dfrac{1}{0.112\ Hz}\\\\T=8.92\ s

We need to find the time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave. So, the time will be half of the time period of the wave.

T=\dfrac{8.92}{2}\\\\T=4.46\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

Air is compressed from 14.7 psia and 60°F to a pressure of 150 psia while being cooled at a rate of 10 Btu/lbm by circulating wa
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

A. 6.36 lbm/s

b. T_2=341\textdegree F

Explanation:

a. Given the following information;

#Compressor inlet:

Air pressure,P_1=14.7psia,T_1=60\textdegree F

#Compressor outlet:

Air \ Pressure, P_2=150psia\\\\Air \ volume \ flow \ rate, \dot V_1=5000ft^3/min

#Cooling rate,

q_{out}=10Btu/lbm, \dot W=700hp

# From table A-1E

Gas constant of air R=0.3704\ psia.ft^3/lbm.R

Specific enthalpy at P_1=520R-h_1=124.27Btu/lbm

Using the mass balance:

\dot m_{in}-\dot m_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot m_{sys}=0.0\\\\\dot m_{in}=\dot m_{out}\\\\v_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}\\\\v_1=\frac{0.3704\times520}{14.7}\\\\\\v_1=13.1026ft^3/lbm\\\\\dot m=\frac{5000/60}{13.1025}\\\\\dot m=6.36\ lbm/s

Hence, the mass flow rate of the air is 6.36lbm/s

b The specific enthalpy at the exit is defined as the energy balance on the system:

\dot m_{in}-\dot m_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot m_{sys}=0.0\\\\\dot m_{in}=\dot m_{out}\\\\\dot W_{in}+ \dot mh_1=\dot Q_{out}+\dot m_2\\\\h_2=\frac{\dot W_{in}-\dot Q_{out}}{\dot m}+h_1\\\\h_2=\frac{700\times 0.7068-10\times 6.36}{6.36}+124.27\\\\h_2=192.06\ Btu/lbm\\\\#at \ h_2=182.06Btu/lbm, T_2=801R=341\textdegree F

Hence, the temperature at the compressor exit T_2=341\textdegree F

During a __________ year period starting at about 4.5 billion years ago, bits and pieces of metal-rich particles, rocks, and ice
Greeley [361]

During a 30-10 million year period starting at about 4.5 billion years ago, bits and pieces of metal-rich particles, rocks, and ices accumulated to form the earth.

<h3>What is the Earth?</h3>

This is referred to as a type of planet which is habitable for different types of life forms. It is also the third planet from the sun and a majority of it contains water such as oceans etc.

Earth was formed billions of years ago through the bits and pieces of metal-rich particles, rocks, and ices which was in a 30-10 million year period which therefore makes it the correct choice.

A ball is tossed vertically upward. When it reaches its highest point (before falling back downward) Group of answer choices the
nignag [31]

Answer:

the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward

Explanation:

Is this exercise in kinematics

          v = v₀ - g t

where g is the acceleration of the ball, which is created by the attraction of the ball to the Earth.

At the highest point

velocity must be zero.

The acceleration depends on the Earth therefore it is constant at this point and with a downward direction.

The force of the earth on the ball is towards the center of the Earth, that is, down

all other alternatives are wrong
