DENIUS [597]3 years ago

8 0

48J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the book = 16N

Height of the shelf = 3m

Unknown:

Work done to raise the book = ?

Solution:

Work done is defined as the product of force and distance. The force here is the weight of the book which signifies that it was carried in the vicinity of gravitational force.

Work done = Force x distance = weight x distance

Weight is a type of force;

Input the parameters;

Work done = 16 x 3 = 48J

The unit of workdone is in Joules

Can someone explain each of these?

Answer:

Machine - A device consisting of fixed and moving parts that modifies mechanical energy and transmits it in a more useful form.

Mechanical advantage - Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system.

Inclined Plane - A plane set at an angle to the horizontal, especially a simple machine used to raise or lower a load by rolling or sliding.

Wedge - A piece of material, such as metal or wood, thick at one edge and tapered to a thin edge at the other for insertion in a narrow crevice, used for splitting, tightening, securing, or levering.

Screw - A cylindrical rod incised with one or more helical or advancing spiral threads, as a lead screw or worm screw.

Lever - A simple machine consisting of a rigid bar pivoted on a fixed point and used to transmit force, as in raising or moving a weight at one end by pushing down on the other.

A 500 W immersion heater is placed in a pot containing 1.00 L of water at 20oC. (a) How long will the water take to rise to the

tatiyna

Answer:

96 s.

Explanation:

(a)

From the question,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................... Equation 1

Where Q = heat required to boil the water, c = specific heat capacity of the water, m = mass of the water, t₂ = final temperature of water, t₁ = initial temperature of water

Note: The boiling point of water = 100 °C

Given: c = 4200 J/kg.°C, t₂ = 100 °C, t₁ = 20 °C

mass of water = density×volume

m = D×v, Where D = 1000 kg/m³, v = 1.00 L = 0.001 m³

Hence, m = 1000×0.001 = 1 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 4200×1(100-20)

Q = 4200×8

Q = 33600 J.

But,

P = Q/t................... Equation 2

make t the subject of the equation

t = Q/P................. Equation 3

Where P = power, t = time

From the question,

70 % of the available energy is absorbed by water.

P = 0.7×500 = 350 W.

Substitute into equation 2

t = 33600/350

t = 96 s.

What is the eulerian description of fluid motion how does it differ from the lagrangian description?

Alex_Xolod [135]

Kinematics : Study of motion

Fluid kinematics : study of how fluid flows and how to describe its motion.

There are two ways to describe fluid motion

one is Eulerian, where the variations are described at all fixed stations as a function of time.

the other is Lagrangian, in which one follows all fluid particles and describes the variations around each fluid particle along its trajectory.

<u>DIFFRENCE BETWEEN LAGRANGIAN AND EULERIAN:</u>

1.Both Lagrangian and Eulerian describes time variation.

2. Eulerian describes the rate of change in one point of space

Lagrangian descries rate of change of a property of material system.

What is the force required to produce an acceleration of 46.4

Brilliant_brown [7]

That depends on the mass of the object, and the unit of the '46.4' .

If the '46.4' is ' meters per second² ' , then the force required is

(mass of the object in kilograms) x (46.4) newtons .

If the average gauge pressure in the vein is 12200 Pa, what must be the minimum height of the bag in order to infuse glucose int

Amanda [17]

Answer:

h = 1.22 m

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure in the vein = 12200 Pa

Specific gravity of the liquid = 1.02

now,

the pressure due to a fluid is given as:

P = pgh

where,

P is the pressure,

ρ is the density of fluid = specific gravity x density of water = 1.02 x 1000 kg/m³

ρ = 1020 kg/m³

g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 9.81m/s²

h is the height

thus,

h = P/pg = $\frac{12200}{1020\times 9.8}=1.22 m$
