A car and a truck are moving next to each other on the highway. The truck has a mass of 910 kg and the car’s mass is 227 kg. IF

their momentums are equal and the truck is moving at 18 m/s, what is the speed of the car?

Answer:

<h2>the car must move with the speed</h2><h2> $v = 72.16 m/s$ </h2>

Explanation:

As we know that the momentum of the car and truck is same

so as per the formula of momentum we have

$P = mv$

so we have

$m_1v_1 = m_2v_2$

so we will have

$910 \times 18 = 227 v$

$v = 72.16 m/s$

So the car must move with the speed

$v = 72.16 m/s$

Determine the power that needs to besupplied by the fanifthe desired velocity is 0.05 m3/s and the cross-sectional area is 20 cm

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A fan with an energy efficiency of 30 % would need 62.5 watts to bring a desired volume flow of 0.05 cubic meters per second through a cross-sectional area of 20 square centimeters.

Explanation:

Complete statement is: <em>Determine the power that needs to besupplied by the fan if the desired velocity is 0.05 cubic meters per second and the cross-sectional area is 20 square centimeters.</em>

From Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics we know that fans are devices that work at steady state which accelerate gases (i.e. air) with no changes in pressure. In this case, mechanical rotation energy is transformed into kinetic energy. If we include losses due to mechanical friction, the Principle of Energy Conservation presents the following equation:

$\eta\cdot \dot W = \dot K$

$\dot W = \frac{\dot K}{\eta}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\eta$ - Efficiency of fan, dimensionless.

$\dot W$ - Electric power supplied fan, measured in watts.

$\dot K$ - Rate of change of kinetic energy of air in time, measured in watts.

From definition of kinetic energy, the equation above is now expanded:

$\dot W = \frac{\rho_{a}\cdot \dot V}{2\cdot \eta}\cdot \left(\frac{\dot V}{A_{s}} \right)^{2}$ (Eq. 2)

Where:

$\rho_{a}$ - Density of air, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\dot V$ - Volume flow, measured in cubic meters per second.

$A_{s}$ - Cross-sectional area of fan, measured in square meters.

If we know that $\rho_{a} = 1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $\dot V = 0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}$ , $\eta = 0.3$ and $A_{s} = 20\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}$ , the power needed to be supplied by the fan is:

$\dot K = \left[\frac{\left(1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} \right)}{2\cdot (0.3)} \right]\cdot \left(\frac{0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} }{20\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}} \right)^{2}$

$\dot K = 62.5\,W$

A fan with an energy efficiency of 30 % would need 62.5 watts to bring a desired volume flow of 0.05 cubic meters per second through a cross-sectional area of 20 square centimeters.

Which of the following is fact-based science rather than part of a personal belief system?

marusya05 [52]

Since there are no choices, then this question calls for open-ended answers. Facts-based science must have proven underlying laws that support inferences such as Coulomb's Law, Kinetic Theory of Matter and many more. On the other hand, examples of science that focus on personal belief is philosophy. This depends on the perspective of known philosophers. An example would be Sigmund Freud who proposed the theory of 3 personalities. Although it is more on personal beliefs, this is used as a foundation in the study of psychology.

Which of the following describes a chemical change?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

D. Burning paper

Explanation:

physical change is just changing the way it looks

chemical change is changing the properties of the object or thing

melting ice is just changing the way it looks it still has the same atoms and elements.

when you burn something it will change the properties of the atoms in the object

If a metal ball suspended by a rod is at rest, which force is responsible for balancing the force due to gravity?

Viktor [21]

There are different kinds of forces; applied force, force of gravity, friction force, normal force, tension force. We will focus on the common forces, applied force and force of gravity. An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by another object. The force of gravity is the force with which massively large objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth. Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the weight of the object.
