Explanation & answer:
Given:
Fuel consumption, C = 22 L/h
Specific gravity = 0.8
output power, P = 55 kW
heating value, H = 44,000 kJ/kg
Solution:
Calculate energy intake
E = C*P*H
= (22 L/h) / (3600 s/h) * (1000 mL/L) * (0.8 g/mL) * (44000 kJ/kg)
= (22/3600)*1000*0.8*44000 j/s
= 215111.1 j/s
Calculate output power
P = 55 kW
= 55000 j/s
Efficiency
= output / input
= P/E
=55000 / 215111.1
= 0.2557
= 25.6% to 1 decimal place.
Answer:
Explanation:
There are countless household appliances in every single house. One appliance with a low power rating would be a ceiling fan. On average ceiling fans consume roughly 60w and are found in the majority of houses. On the other side of the spectrum, we have a high power-rating appliance such as a microwave. Microwaves use anywhere between 1000w to 1800w of power in order to function correctly. This is very large power consumption and one of the highest power ratings found for appliances in a household.
Answer:
609547.12 Pa ≈ 6.10×10^5 Pa
Explanation:
Step 1:
Data obtained from the question. This include the following:
Force (F) = 49.8 N
Radius (r) = 0.00510 m
Pressure (P) =..?
Step 2:
Determination of the area of the head of the nail.
The head of a nail is circular in nature. Therefore, the area is given by:
Area (A) = πr²
With the above formula we can obtain the area as follow:
Radius (r) = 0.00510 m
Area (A) =?
A = πr²
A = π x (0.00510)²
A = 8.17×10^-5 m²
Therefore the area of the head of the nail is 8.17×10^-5 m²
Step 3:
Determination of the pressure exerted by the hammer.
This is illustrated below:
Force (F) = 49.8 N
Area (A) = 8.17×10^-5 m²
Pressure (P) =..?
Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)
P = F/A
P = 49.8/8.17×10^-5
P = 609547.12 N/m²
Now, we shall convert 609547.12 N/m² to Pa.
1 N/m² = 1 Pa
Therefore, 609547.12 N/m² = 609547.12 Pa.
Therefore, the pressure exerted by the hammer on the nail is 609547.12 Pa or 6.10×10^5 Pa
Answer:
The value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m
Explanation:
Given;
equilibrium length of the spring, L = 10.0 cm
new length of the spring, L₀ = 14 cm
applied force on the spring, F = 40 N
extension of the spring due to applied force, e = L₀ - L = 14 cm - 10 cm = 4 cm
From Hook's law
Force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
F ∝ e
F = ke
where;
k is the spring constant
k = F / e
k = 40 / 0.04
k = 1000 N/m
Therefore, the value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m
Answer:
0.3 m
Explanation:
Initially, the package has both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. The spring has elastic energy. After the package is brought to rest, all the energy is stored in the spring.
Initial energy = final energy
mgh + ½ mv² + ½ kx₁² = ½ kx₂²
Given:
m = 50 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = 8 sin 20º m
v = 2 m/s
k = 30000 N/m
x₁ = 0.05 m
(50)(9.8)(8 sin 20) + ½ (50)(2)² + ½ (30000)(0.05)² = ½ (30000)x₂²
x₂ ≈ 0.314 m
So the spring is compressed 0.314 m from it's natural length. However, we're asked to find the additional deformation from the original 50mm.
x₂ − x₁
0.314 m − 0.05 m
0.264 m
Rounding to 1 sig-fig, the spring is compressed an additional 0.3 meters.
