Answer:

Explanation:

Depression = .75 x 10⁻² m

Load = 120 g

Spring constant = 120g / .75 x 10⁻²

= 160 x 10² g / m

b )

Depression by player

= .48 x 10⁻² m

His weight

= .48 x 10⁻² x 160 x 10² g

= 76.8 kg

So he is eligible.

Steam undergoes an adiabatic expansion in a piston–cylinder assembly from 100 bar, 360°C to 1 bar, 160°C. What is work in kJ per
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

work is 130.5 kJ/kg

entropy change is 1.655 kJ/kg-k

maximum  theoretical work is 689.4 kJ/kg

Explanation:

piston cylinder assembly

100 bar, 360°C to 1 bar, 160°C

to find out

work  and amount of entropy  and magnitude

solution

first we calculate work i.e heat transfer - work =   specific internal energy @1 bar, 160°C  - specific internal energy @ 100 bar, 360°C    .................1

so first we get some value from steam table with the help of 100 bar @360°C and  1 bar @ 160°C

specific volume = 0.0233 m³/kg

specific enthalpy = 2961 kJ/kg

specific internal energy = 2728 kJ/kg

specific entropy = 6.004 kJ/kg-k

and respectively

specific volume = 1.9838 m³/kg

specific enthalpy = 2795.8 kJ/kg

specific internal energy = 2597.5 kJ/kg

specific entropy = 7.659 kJ/kg-k

now from equation 1 we know heat transfer q = 0

so - w =   specific internal energy @1 bar, 160°C  - specific internal energy @ 100 bar, 360°C

work = 2728 - 2597.5

work is 130.5 kJ/kg

and entropy change formula is i.e.

entropy change =  specific entropy ( 100 bar @360°C)  - specific entropy ( 1 bar @160°C )

put these value we get

entropy change =  7.659 - 6.004

entropy change is 1.655 kJ/kg-k

and we know maximum  theoretical work = isentropic work

from steam table we know specific internal energy is 2038.3 kJ/kg

maximum  theoretical work = specific internal energy - 2038.3

maximum  theoretical work = 2728 - 2038.3

maximum  theoretical work is 689.4 kJ/kg

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 93 m long. It was a rainy day and the coeffi
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

u = 25 m/s

Explanation:

given,                                

length of skid = 93 m          

coefficient of friction = 0.35

final velocity = 0 m/s              

initial velocity = ?                        

force here is friction  f = μ mg

F = ma                                                

now com paring                      

-μ mg = m a                      

a = - μ g                    

a = - 0.35 x 9.8              

a = -3.43 m/s²

we know,              

v² = u² + 2 a s                        

0 = u² - 2 x 3.43 x 93                

u² = 637.98                    

u = 25.26 m/s                      

u = 25 m/s (two significant figure)

An element's atomic number is the​
Zepler [3.9K]

the atomic number of a chemical element (also known as its proton number) is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom of that element, and therefore identical to the charge number of the nucleus.

Which property do metalloids share with nonmetals
laiz [17]
Metalloids are all solid at room temperature. Some metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, can act as electrical conductors under the right conditions, thus they are called semi-conductors. Silicon for example appears lustrous, but is not malleable or ductile (it is brittle - a characteristic of some nonmetals).
