If the gas mileage of a Honda Civic car is 38 miles per gallon how many liters of gasoline would the car use to move from the Es

sex campus to the Catonsville campus? The distance between the two campuses is 37.2 km. (Do not show units in your answer).

Answer:

<em>6.25</em>

Explanation:

M = d/g........................ Equation 1

making g the subject of the equation,

g = d/M............................. Equation 2

Where M = mileage per gallon, d = distance move from Essex campus to Catonsville campus, g = amount of gasoline used

<em>Given: M = 38 miles per gallon, d = 37.2 km</em>

<em>If 1 kilometer = 0.62 miles</em>

<em>Then, 37.2 km = 37.2×0.62 miles = 23.064 miles</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2,</em>

<em>g = 38/23.064</em>

<em>g = 1.648 gallon</em>

<em>g ≈1.65 gallon</em>

<em>Thus, </em>

<em>If, 0.264 gallon = 1 liters.</em>

<em>Then, 1.65 gallon = 1.65×1/0.264 = 6.25 liters.</em>

<em>g = 6.25</em>

<em>Thus the car will use 6.25 liters of gasoline to move from the Essex campus to the Catonsville campus.</em>

The speed of a projectile when it reaches its maximum height is 0.58 times its speed when it is at half its maximum height. What

Ne4ueva [31]

Speed of the projectile at its maximum height is only along horizontal direction

so at highest point

$v_1 = v_x$

now when he is at half of the maximum height the speed will be in x and y direction both

$v_2 = \sqrt{v_y^2 + v_x^2}$

here it is given that

$v_1 = 0.58 v_2$

$v_x = 0.58\sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$2.97 v_x^2 = v_x^2 + v_y^2$

$1.97 v_x^2 = v_y^2$

also we know that

$v_y^2 = v_{iy}^2 - 2 g \frac{H}{2}$

here we know that maximum height is given as

$H = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2g}$

$v_y^2 = v_{iy}^2 - 2 g\frac{v_{iy}^2}{4g}$

$v_y^2 = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2}$

now from above

$1.97 v_x^2 = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2}$

$1.98 v_x = v_{iy}$

also we know that angle of projection is

$tan\theta = \frac{v_{iy}}{v_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{1.98v_x}{v_x}$

so angle is

$\theta = tan^{-1} 1.98$

$\theta = 63.3 degree$

An internal combustion engine uses fuel, of energy content 44.4 MJ/kg, at a rate of 5 kg/h. If the efficiency is 28%, determine

Fudgin [204]

Efficiency = Power Output / Power Input

Power Input = Rate of Energy input = 44.4 MJ/kg * 5 kg/h

= 222 MJ/h

But 1 hour = 3600seconds

222 MJ/h = 222 MJ/3600s = 0.061667 MW J/s = Watts

Power input = 0.061667 MW = 61 667 W

From Efficiency = Power Output / Power Input

   28% = Power Output / 61667

   Power Output = 0.28 * 61667

   Power Output = 17266.76 W

Power Output = 17 267 W

Rate of heat Rejection = Power input - Power output

      = 61667 - 17267 = 44400 W

Rate of heat Rejection = 44 400 W.

A(n) 93 kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a(n) 610 N horizontal force to set it in motion. After the clo

denpristay [2]

Answer:0.669

Explanation:

Given

mass of clock 93 kg

Initial force required to move it 610 N

After clock sets in motion it requires a force of 514 N to keep moving it with a constant velocity

Initially static friction is acting which is more than kinetic friction

thus 613 force is required to overcome static friction

$\mu _smg=610$

$\mu _s\times 93\times 9.8=610$

$\mu _s=0.669$

Masses A and B rest on very light pistons that enclose a fluid.There is no friction between the pistons and the cylinders they f

RSB [31]

Answer:

D)Not enough information

Explanation:

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure exerted on the two pistons is equal:

$p_A = p_B$

Pressure is given by the ratio between force F and area A, so we can write

$\frac{F_A}{A_A}=\frac{F_B}{A_B}$

The force exerted on each piston is just equal to the weight of the corresponding mass: $F=W=mg$ , where m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. So the equation becomes

$\frac{m_A g}{A_A}=\frac{m_B g}{A_B}$

Now we can rewrite the mass as the product of volume, V, times density, d:

$\frac{V_A d_A g}{A_A}=\frac{V_B d_B g}{A_B}$

We also know that $A_B = 2.0 m^2\\A_A = 1.0 m^2$

So we can further re-arrange the equation (and simplify g as well):

$\frac{V_A d_A}{1}=\frac{V_B d_B}{2}$

$\frac{d_A}{d_B}=\frac{V_B}{2V_A}$

We are also told that block B has bigger volume than block A: $V_B > V_A$ . However, this information is not enough to allow us to say if the fraction on the right is greater than 1 or smaller than 1: therefore, we cannot conclude anything about the densities of the two objects.
