Answer:

Re = 1 10⁴

Explanation:

Reynolds number is

         Re = ρ v D /μ

The units of each term are

       ρ = [kg / m³]

       v = [m / s]

      D = [m]

      μ = [Pa s]

The pressure

      Pa = [N / m²] = [Kg m / s²] 1 / [m²] = [kg / m s²]

      μ = [Pa s] = [kg / m s²] [s] = [kg / m s]

We substitute the units in the equation

      Re = [kg / m³] [m / s] [m] / [kg / m s]

      Re = [kg / m s] / [m s / kg]

      RE = [ ]

Reynolds number is a scalar

Let's evaluate for the given point

Where the data for methane are:

viscosity       μ = 11.2 10⁻⁶ Pa s

the density  ρ = 0.656 kg / m³

       D = 2 in (2.54 10⁻² m / 1 in) = 5.08 10⁻² m

       Re = 0.656 4 2 5.08 10⁻² /11.2 10⁻⁶

       Re = 1.19 10⁴

Which method can be used for separating a mixture of sand and salt?
Veronika [31]
Answers A and C can be automatically eliminated because evaporation has to do with the water cycle and magnetism has to do with electric current and such. Next we can eliminate B or distillation because it also has to do with water/liquids. Therefore, the answer is D or filtration because it is the only answer left.

I hope this helps!

A 60 W light bulb is powered by a connection to a wall outlet with 120 V across the plug terminals. a) What is the current passi
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The current through the resistor is 0.5 A

Explanation:

Given;

power of the light bulb = 60 W

voltage in the wall outlet across the plug terminals = 120 V

power of the light bulb is the product of voltage in the wall outlet across the plug terminals and the current passing through the resistor.

power = voltage x current

Current = \frac{power}{voltage} = \frac{60}{120} = 0.5 A

Therefore, for a  60 W light bulb powered by a connection to a wall outlet with 120 V across the plug terminals, the current passing through the resistor is 0.5 A

A student applies a 10 N force to a wood block with a mass of 5 kg. The block is pushed across four different surfaces. The acce
Furkat [3]

The complete question is as follows: A student is subjected to a reaction force of 10 N northward from a 5 kg block while pushing the block over a smooth, level surface. Ignoring friction, what is the acceleration of the block?

Answer: The acceleration of the block is 2 m/s^{2}.

Explanation:

Given: Force = 10 N

Mass = 5 kg

It is known that force applied on an object is the product of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, F = m \times a

where,

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

F = m \times a\\10 N = 5 kg \times a\\a = \frac{10}{5}\\= 2 m/s^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration of block is 2 m/s^{2}.
