Answer:

a. $3.1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The equation of the forces along the directions parallel and perpendicular to the slope are:

- Along the parallel direction:

$mg sin \theta - \mu_k R = ma$

where :

m = 6.0 kg is the mass of the box

g = 9.8 m/s^2 the acceleration of gravity

$\theta=39^{\circ}$ is the angle of the slope

$\mu_k = 0.40$ is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction

a is the acceleration

- Along the perpendicular direction:

$R-mg cos \theta =0$

From the 2nd equation, we get an expression for the reaction force:

$R=mg cos \theta$

And substituting into the 1st equation, we can find the acceleration:

$mg sin \theta - \mu_k mg cos \theta = ma$

Solving for a,

$a=g sin \theta - \mu_k g cos \theta =(9.8)(sin 39^{\circ})-(0.40)(9.8)(cos 39^{\circ})=3.1 m/s^2$

Ask Your Teacher In the air over a particular region at an altitude of 500 m above the ground, the electric field is 120 N/C dir

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

A = Area

h = Altitude = 600 m

Electric flux through the top would be

$-110A$ (negative as the electric field is going into the volume)

At the bottom

$120A$

Total flux through the volume

$\phi=120-110\\\Rightarrow \phi=10A$

Electric flux is given by

$\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow q=\phi\epsilon_0\\\Rightarrow q=10A\epsilon_0$

Charge per volume is given by

$\rho=\dfrac{q}{v}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10A\epsilon_0}{Ah}\\\Rightarrow \rho=dfrac{10\epsilon_0}{h}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{600}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

The volume charge density is $1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

efrigerant-134a is expanded isentropically from 600 kPa and 70°C at the inlet of a steady-flow turbine to 100 kPa at the outlet.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Inlet : $v_i=0.0646\frac{m}{s}$

Outlet: $v_o=0.171\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

1) Notation and important concepts

Flow of mass represent "the mass of a substance which passes per unit of time".

Flow rate represent "a measure of the volume of liquid that moves in a certain amount of time"

Specific volume is "the ratio of the substance's volume to its mass. It is the reciprocal of density."

Isentropic process is a "thermodynamic process, in which the entropy of the fluid or gas remains constant".

We know that the flow of mass is given by the following expression

$\dot{m}=\frac{\dot{V}}{\upsilon}$ , where $\dot{V}$ represent the flow rate and $\upsilon$ the specific volume at the pressure and temperature given.

$A_i=0.5m^2$ is the inlet area

$P_i=600Kpa$ pressure at the inlet area

$T_i=70C$ temperature at the inlet area

$A_o=1m^2$ is the outlet area

$P_o=100Kpa$ pressure at the outlet area

$T_o=C$ temperature at the outlet area

$\dot{m}=0.75\frac{kg}{s}$ represent the flow of mass

If we look at the first figure attached Table A-13 we see that the specific volume for the inlet condition is

$\upsilon_i =0.04304\frac{kg}{m^3}$ and the entropy is $h_i=1.0645\frac{KJ}{KgK}=h_o$

With the value of entropy and the outlet pressure of 100 Kpa we can find we specific volume at the outlet condition since w ehave the entropy $h_o=1.0645\frac{KJ}{KgK}$

Since on the table we don't have the exact value we need to interpolate between these two values (see the second figure attached)

$h_1=1.0531\frac{KJ}{KgK} , \upsilon_1=0.22473\frac{kg}{m^3}$

$h_2=1.0829\frac{KJ}{KgK} , \upsilon_2=0.23349\frac{kg}{m^3}$

Our interest value would be given using interpolation like this:

$\upsilon=0.22473+\frac{(0.23349-0.22473)}{(1.0829-1.0531)}(1.0645-1.0531)=0.228\frac{kg}{m^3}$

2) Solution to the problem

Now since we have all the info required to solve the problem we can find the velocities on this way.

We know from the definition of flow of mass that $\dot{m}=\frac{\dot{V}}{\upsilon}$ , but since $\dot{V}=Av$ we have this:

$\dot{m}=\frac{Av}{\upsilon}$

If we solve from the velocity v we have this:

$v=\frac{\upsilon \dot{m}}{A}$ (*)

And now we just need to replace the values into equation (*)

For the inlet case:

$v_i=\frac{\upsilon_i \dot{m}}{A_i}=\frac{0.043069\frac{kg}{m^3}(0.75\frac{kg}{s})}{0.5m^2}=0.0646\frac{m}{s}$

For the oulet case:

$v_o=\frac{\upsilon_o \dot{m}}{A_o}=\frac{0.228\frac{kg}{m^3}(0.75\frac{kg}{s})}{1m^2}=0.171\frac{m}{s}$
