Answer:

D. Calculate the area under the graph.

Explanation:

The distance made during a particular period of time is calculated as (distance in m) = (velocity in m/s) * (time in s)

You can think of such a calculation as determining the area of a rectangle whose sides are velocity and time period. If you make the time period very very small, the rectangle will become a narrow "bar" - a bar with height determined by the average velocity during that corresponding short period of time. The area is, again, the distance made during that time. Now, you can cover the entire area under the curve using such narrow bars. Their areas adds up, approximately, to the total distance made over the entire span of motion. From this you can already see why the answer D is the correct one.

Going even further, one can make the rectangular bars arbitrarily narrow and cover the area under the curve with more and more of these. In fact, in the limit, this is something called a Riemann sum and leads to the definition of the Riemann integral. Using calculus, the area under a curve (hence the distance in this case) can be calculated precisely, under certain existence criteria.

Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 4 MPa, 500◦C, and 80 m/s, and the exit
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

a) ΔEC=-23.4kW

b)W=12106.2kW

c)A=0.01297m^2

Explanation:

A)

The kinetic energy is defined as:

\frac{m*vel^2}{2} (vel is the velocity, to differentiate with v, specific volume).

The kinetic energy change will be: Δ (\frac{mvel^2}{2})=\frac{m*vel_2^2}{2}-\frac{m*vel_1^2}{2}

Δ (\frac{mvel^2}{2})=\frac{m}{2}*(vel_2^2-vel_1^2)

Where 1 and 2 subscripts mean initial and final state respectively.

Δ(\frac{mvel^2}{2})=\frac{12\frac{kg}{s}}{2}*(50^2-80^2)\frac{m^2}{s^2}=-23400W=-23.4kW

This amount is negative because the steam is losing that energy.

B)

Consider the energy balance, with a neglective height difference: The energy that enters to the turbine (which is in the steam) is the same that goes out (which is in the steam and in the work done).

H_1+\frac{m*vel_1^2}{2}=H_2+\frac{m*vel_2^2}{2}+W\\W=m*(h_1-h_2)+\frac{m}{2} *(vel_1^2-vel_2^2)

We already know the last quantity: \frac{m}{2} *(vel_1^2-vel_2^2)=-Δ (\frac{mvel^2}{2})=23400W

For the steam enthalpies, review the steam tables (I attach the ones that I used); according to that, h_1=h(T=500C,P=4MPa)=3445.3\frac{kJ}{kg}

The exit state is a liquid-vapor mixture, so its enthalpy is:

h_2=h_f+xh_{fg}=289.23+0.92*2366.1=2483.4\frac{kJ}{kg}

Finally, the work can be obtained:

W=12\frac{kg}{s}*(3445.3-2438.4)\frac{kJ}{kg} +23.400kW)=12106.2kW

C) For the area, consider the equation of mass flow:

m=p*vel*A where p is the density, and A the area. The density is the inverse of the specific volume, so m=\frac{vel*A}{v}

The specific volume of the inlet steam can be read also from the steam tables, and its value is: 0.08643\frac{m^3}{kg}, so:

A=\frac{m*v}{vel}=\frac{12\frac{kg}{s}*0.08643\frac{m^3}{kg}}{80\frac{m}{s}}=0.01297m^2

An angry physics student releases a wrecking ball as shown. The wrecking ball is just about to hit the building at the final tim
daser333 [38]

Answer:

the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force)

Explanation

Explanation:For this exercise the student must create an impulse to move the ball towards the building, in this part he performs positive work since the applied force and the displacement are in the same direction.

When the ball moves it has a kinetic energy and if its height increases or decreases its potential energy also changes, but the sum of being must be equal to the initial work.

When the ball arrives and collides with the building, non-conservative forces, of various kinds; rubbing, breaking, etc. It transforms this energy into a part of heat and another in mechanical energy that the building must absorb, let us destroy its wall

Consequently, the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force

How long does it take a message to travel from earth to a spacecraft at mars at its farthest from earth (about 400 million km)?
seraphim [82]
<span>A message needs to be traveled to mars from earth. Distance between Earth and Mars (given) s = 400 million km
 Speed of light = 3.00—10^5 km/ sec
 We know Velocity = distance / time => time = distance / velocity
 Time taken t = 400 million km / 3.00—10^5 = 400 x 10^6 / 3 x 10^5 = 1333.3 sec Time taken t = 22 min</span>
