Why is it that carbon dioxide should be under high pressure for fire extinguisher?​

Physics
1 answer:
mash [69]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers contain a mixture of liquid and gaseous carbon dioxide (a nonflammable gas). CO2 is normally a gas at room temperature and pressure. It has to be stored under high pressure to make it a liquid. When you release the pressure, the gas expands enormously and makes a huge white jet.

A diffraction grating produces a first-order bright fringe that is 0.18 m away from the central bright fringe on a flat screen.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 562.5 nm

Solution:

As per the question:

Order, n = 1

Slit separation, d = 2.5\times 10^{- 6}\ m

Distance from the bright fringe, y = 0.18 m

Distance between the screen and the grating, D = 0.8 m

Now,

We know from the eqn for diffraction:

n\lambda = dsin\theta

n = 1

\lambda = dsin\theta            (1)

Also,

For very small angle, \theta:

sin\theta ≈ tan\theta = \frac{y}{D} = \frac{0.18}{0.8} = 0.225

Using the above value in eqn (1):

\lambda = 2.5\times 10^{- 6}\times 0.225 = 5.625\times 10^{- 7}\ m = 562.5\ nm

A firm wants to determine the amount of frictional torque in their current line of grindstones, so they can redesign them to be
victus00 [196]

Answer:

a)- 1.799 rad/sec²

b)- 17.6 x 10ˉ³Nm

Explanation:

ω₀ = 720 rev/min x (1 min/60 sec) x (2π rad / 1 rev) =  24π rad/s

a) Assuming a constant angular acceleration, the formula will be

α = (ωf -ω₀) / t

As final state of the grindstone is at rest, so ωf =0

⇒ α = (0-24π) / 41.9 = - 1.799 rad/sec²

b)Moment of inertia I for a disk about its central axis

I = ½mr²  

where m=2kg and radius 'r'= 0.099m

I = ½(2)(0.099²)

I = 9.8 x 10ˉ³ kgm²

Next is to determine the frictional torque exerted on the grindstone, that caused it to stop, applying the rotational equivalent of the Newton's 2nd law:

τ = I α =>(9.8 x 10ˉ³)(- 1.799)

τ = - 17.6 x 10ˉ³Nm

(The negative sign indicates that the frictional torque opposes to the rotation of  the grindstone).

You are using an 8 th order low-pass filter. Determine the roll-off achievable in the stop band, in dB/dec, and determine the ph
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: The complexity of filter is the order of the filter. Greater the order of the filter, more efficient the filter is. Roll of value of one filter is 20dB/dec. So the roll-off value of 8th order filter is 160dB/dec. 8th order filter is more efficient than the second order low-pass filter.

A weight is hung from the ceiling of an elevator by a massless string. Under which circumstances will the tension in the cord be
Oduvanchick [21]
When the elevator is going up (assuming the elevator is acceleration)

When the elevator is accelerating downwards, the total gravitational force would be larger.

If the elevator is accelerating upwards, then the gravitation force would be smaller, thus the tension in the string would be smaller.
