The location of tests affect the performance of a catapult depending on the length of the arm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A ball from a catapult, will travel a longer distance by increasing the length of the arm. Using the catapult, if the arm is extended to different lengths the wooden ball how far it is thrown can be observed.

This shows that extending the arm length does increase the distance thrown. To shoot a far distance (example for sideways) you need to the pebble sideways and up. By doing this, it can travel a longer distance

The denominator of a fraction is 4 more than the numenator. If 4 is added to the numenator and 7 is added to the denominator, th

kati45 [8]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{7}$

Explanation:

Lets take the numerator of the fraction to be = x

So the denominator of the fraction is 4 more than the numerator = x+4

The fraction is ; $\frac{x}{4+x}$

Now add 4 to the numerator and add 7 to the denominator as;

$\frac{x+4}{4+x+7} =\frac{x+4}{x+11}$

This new fraction is equal to 1 half =1/2

write the equation as;

$\frac{x+4}{x+11} =\frac{1}{2}$

perform cross-product

2(x+4 )=1( x+11 )

2x+8 = x + 11

2x-x = 11-8

x=3

The original fraction is;

$\frac{x}{4+x} =\frac{3}{3+4} =\frac{3}{7}$

Water flows around a 6-ft diameter bridge pier with a velocity of 12 ft/s. Estimate the force (per unit length) that the water e

jolli1 [7]

Answer: hello the diagram related to your question is missing please the third image is the missing part of the question

Fx = 977.76 Ib/ft

Explanation:

<u>Estimate the force that water exerts on the pier </u>

V = 12 ft/s

D( diameter ) = 6 ft

first express the force on the first half of the cylinder as

Fx1 = - $-2\int\limits^\pi _\frac{\pi }{2} {Ps*cos\beta *a} \, d\beta$ ---------------- ( 1 )

where ; Fy = 0

Ps = Po + 1/2 Pv^2 ( 1 - 4 sin^2β ) ------------- ( 2 )

Input equation (2) into equation ( 1 ) (note : assuming Po = 0 )

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

The lattice constant of a simple cubic primitive cell is 5.28 Å. Determine the distancebetween the nearest parallel ( a ) (100),

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

a)5.28 Å , b)3.73 Å , c)3.048 Å

Explanation:

the atoms are situated only at the corners of cube.Each and every atom in simple cubic primitive at the corner is shared with 8 adjacent unit cells.

Therefore, a particular unit cell consist only 1/8th part of an atom.

The lattice constant of a simple cubic primitive cell is 5.28 Å

We know formula of distance,

d = $\frac{a}{\sqrt{h^{2}+k^{2}+l^{2}}}$

a)(100)

a=5.28 Å

Distance = $\frac{5.28 Å}{\sqrt{1^{2}+0^{2}+0^{2}}}$ =5.28 Å

b)(110)

Distance = $\frac{5.28}{\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}+0^{2}}}$ = 3.73 Å

c)(111)

Distance= $\frac{5.28}{\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}}}$ = 3.048 Å

A 600-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 54 percent. Determine the rate of hea

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

$\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW$ . Heat transfer can be higher if themal efficiency is lower.

Explanation:

The heat transfer rate to the river water is calculated by this expression:

$\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H} - \dot W$

$\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{\eta_{th}}-1 )\cdot \dot W\\\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{0.54}-1)\cdot (600 MW)\\\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW$

The actual heat transfer can be higher if the steam power plant reports an thermal efficiency lower than expected.
