A truck is subject to a drag force, Fd, from the surrounding air: where Cd = 0.28 is the drag coefficient, A = 30 ft2 is the are

a of the front of the vehicle, and r = 0.075 lb/ft3 is the density of the air. How much power (in hp) is required to overcome drag if the truck is traveling at v=65 miles/hr? If the truck maintains a constant velocity, how much work (Btu) does the truck require for a 1-hour trip?

Answer:

Power is 15.41 hp

Work is 39205.18 Btu

Explanation:

The power to overcome the drag force is given by the formula:

P = (1/2)ρ v³ A Cd

where,

P = Power

ρ = Density of air = 0.075 lbm/ft³

v = speed of truck = (65 miles/hr)(1 hr/3600 s)(5280 ft/1 mile) = 95.33 ft/s

A = Area = 30 ft²

Cd = drag coefficient = 0.28

therefore,

P = (1/2)(0.075 lbm/ft³)(95.33 ft/s)³(30 ft²)(0.28)

P = (272926 ft².lbm/s³)(1 lbf/32.2 lbm.ft/s²)

P = (8476 ft. lbf/s)(1 hp/550 ft.lb/s)

<u>P = 15.41 hp</u>

Now, for the work of 1 hour:

Work = W = P x time

W = (15.41 hp)(2544 Btu/h / 1 hp)(1 h)

<u>W = 39205.18 Btu</u>

This diagram shows particles that make up an atom. Which label BEST completes the diagram ?

worty [1.4K]

Answer: option A. strong nuclear force.

Explanation:

The diagram shows the subatomic particles inside the nucelous: protons and neutrons.

As you know, the protons are positively charged partilces inside the nucleous.

Being those particles charged with the same kind of charge they experiment electrostatic repulsion. So, how do you explain that they can stand together in such small space as it is the nucleous?

The responsible of keeping the subatomic particles together is the so called strong nuclear force.

Strong nuclear force or simply strong force is one of the four fundamental interactions or forces: i) gravitational, ii) electromagnetic, iii) weak nuclear force, and iv) strong nuclear force.

Strong nuclear force is the strongest force of nature and acts only in short distances as those inside the nucleous and is responsible for both the atraction among quarks and the atraction among protons to bind them together inside the atomic nucleous.

One of the harmonics on a string 1.30m long has a frequency of 15.60 Hz. The next higher harmonic has a frequency of 23.40 Hz. F

Alja [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{(a) 7.800 Hz; (b) 20.3 m/s; 40.6 m/s; 60.8 m/s}}$

Explanation:

a) Fundamental frequency

A harmonic is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

$\dfrac{\text{23.40 Hz}}{\text{15.60 Hz}} = \dfrac{1.500}{1} \approx \dfrac{3}{2}$

$f = \dfrac{\text{24.30 Hz}}{3} = \textbf{7.800 Hz}$

b) Wave speed

(i) Calculate the wavelength

In a fundamental vibration, the length of the string is half the wavelength.

$\begin{array}{rcl}L & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\text{1.30 m} & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\lambda & = & \text{2.60 m}\\\end{array}$

(b) Calculate the speed s

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{1}& = & f_{1}\lambda\\& = & \text{7.800 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{20.3 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{2}& = & f_{2}\lambda\\& = & \text{15.60 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{40.6 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{3}& = & f_{3}\lambda\\& = & \text{23.40 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{60.8 m/s}\\\end{array}$

We now have an algebraic expression with only one variable, which can be solved. Once we have that, we can plug it back into one

Len [333]

Answer:

A=1

B=-2

Explanation:

Part A and B of the question wasn't given, however, I attached the relevant parts to solve this question as follows.

From part B as attached, it shows that the right option is C which is

2A+3B=-4

Substituting B with 3A-5 then we form the second equation as shown

2A+3(3A-5)=-4

By simplifying the above equation, we obtain

2A+9A-15=-4

Re-arranging, then

11A=-4+15

Finally

11A=11

A=1

To obtain B, we already know that 3A-5 so substituting the value of A into the above then we obtain

B=3(1)-5=-2

Therefore, required values are 1 and -2

JulsSmile [24]

Answer: a network of several radio telescopes wired together

Explanation:

A radio interferometer combines signals of several radio telescopes which are used in astronomical observations simultaneously to simulate a discretely-sampled single telescope of very large aperture

Interferometer, an instrument that uses the interference patterns formed by waves to measure certain characteristics of the waves themselves or of materials that reflect, refract, or transmit the waves. Interferometers can also be used to make precise measurements of distance.
