Answer:

Mass of shot (m) = 4 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity (v) = 15 m/s

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = 450 J

Find:

Mass of shot (m) = ?

Computation:

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = 1/2mv²

Mechanical kinetic energy (K.E) = [1/2](m)(15)²

450 = [1/2](m)(15)²

900 = 225 m

Mass of shot (m) = 4 kg

an automobile has a tire pressure of 325 kpa when the temperature is 10°C of the temperature rises to 50°C what is the new press
Finger [1]
Old temperature = 283 K.
New temp = 323 K.

(323/283) x (325 kPa) = 371 kPa.

Steam enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 lbf/in.2 , 500F, with a velocity of 200 ft/s and exits at 60 lbf/in.2 with a velocit
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

386.2^{\circ}F

Explanation:

We are given that

P_1=200lbf/in^2

P_2=60lbf/in^2

v_1=200ft/s

v_2=1700ft/s

T_1=500^{\circ}F

Q=0

C_p=1BTU/lb^{\circ}F

We have to find the exit temperature.

By steady energy flow equation

h_1+v^2_1+Q=h_2+v^2_2

C_pT_1+\frac{P^2_1}{25037}+Q=C_pT_2+\frac{P^2_2}{25037}

1BTU/lb=25037ft^2/s^2

Substitute the values

1\times 500+\frac{(200)^2}{25037}+0=1\times T_2+\frac{(1700)^2}{25037}

500+1.598=T_2+115.4

T_2=500+1.598-115.4

T_2=386.2^{\circ}F

Justin Bieber is thrown horizontally at 10.0 m/s from the top of a cliff 122.5 m high.
sveticcg [70]

===>  Distance fallen from rest in free fall =

                                         (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

                               (122.5 m) = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time²)

Divide each side by (4.9 m/s²):   (122.5 m / 4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                                                           (122.5/4.9) s²  =  time²

Take the square root of each side:    5.0 seconds


===> (Accelerating at 9.8 m/s², he will be dropping at
                               (9.8 m/s²) x (5.0 s) = 49 m/s
when he goes 'splat'.  We'll need this number for the last part.)


===> With no air resistance, the horizontal component of velocity
doesn't change.

Horizontal distance = (10 m/s) x (5.0 s)  =  50 meters .

===>  Impact velocity =  (10 m/s horizontally) + (49 m/s vertically)

                                 = √(10² + 49²)  =  50.01 m/s  arctan(10/49)

                                 =    50.01 m/s   at  11.5° from straight down,
                                                           
away from the base of the cliff.
