For years, the tallest tower in the United States was the Phoenix Shot Tower in Baltimore, Maryland. The shot tower was used fro

m 1828 to1892 to make lead shot for pistols and rifles and molded shot for cannons and other instruments of warfare. Molten lead was dropped from the top of the 234-foot (71.3 meter) tall tower into a vat of water. During its free fall, the lead would form a perfectly spherical droplet and solidify. Determine the time of fall and the speed of a lead shot upon hitting the water at the bottom.

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) t = 3.81 s

b) vf =  37.4 m/s

Explanation:

Data

height = 71.3 m = 234 feet

t = 0 m/s

vf = ?

vo = 0 m/s

Formula

h = vot + 1/2gt²

vf = vo + gt

Process

a)

               h = vot + 1/2gt²

             71.3 = 0t + 1/2(9.81)t²

             2(71.3) = 9,81t²

              t² = 2(71.3)/9.81

              t² = 14.53

              t = 3.81 s

b)

      vf = 0 + (9.81)(3.81)

      vf = 37.4 m/s

A heat pump is to be used for heating a house in winter. The house is to be maintained at 70°F at all times. When the temperatur
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

\dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h

Explanation:

Temperature of the house, T_{H} = 70^{0} F

Convert to rankine, T_{H} = 70^{0}+ 460 = 530 R

Heat is extracted at 40°F i.e T_{L} = 40^{0}F  = 40 + 460 = 500 R

Calculate the coefficient of performance of the heat pump, COP

COP = \frac{T_{H} }{T_{H} - T_{L}  } \\COP = \frac{530 }{530 - 500  }\\ COP = \frac{530}{30} \\COP = 17.67

The minimum power required to run the heat pump is given by the formula:

\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{\dot{Q_{H} }}{COP} \\...............(*)

Where the heat losses from the house, \dot{Q_{H} } = 75,000 Btu/h

Substituting these values into * above

\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{75000}{17.67} \\ \dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h

The diagram does not represent a real electric field because the field lines, can someone help explain this for me
Papessa [141]

electric field lines are graphical presentation of electric field intensity

It is the graphical way to represent the electric field variation

If we draw the tangent to electric field line then it will give the direction of net electric field at that point

So whenever we draw the electric field lines of a charge distribution then it will always follow this basic properties

here we will always follow these basic properties of field lines

now as we can see that here two positive charges are placed nearby so the electric field must be like it can not intersect at any point because at intersection of two lines the direction of electric field not defined

As we have two directions of tangents at that point

So here the incorrect presentation is the intersection of two field lines which is not possible
