Answer:

a.) 8 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

A₁= 2 m²

V₁= 2 m/s

A₂=0.5 m²

Lets take speed in 0.5m² is V₂

As given that both pipes are connected in the series that is volume flow rate will be same

Q= A₁V₁ = A₂V₂

Now by putting the values

A₁V₁ = A₂V₂

2 x 2 = 0.5 x V₂

V₂= 8 m/s

a.) 8 m/s

Answer:

$v_2=8\ m/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Area of cross section of the pipe, $A_1=2\ m^2$

Area of cross section of the another pipe, $A_2=0.5\ m^2$

Speed of water in first pipe, $v_1=2\ m/s$

To find,

Speed of the water flowing in the second pipe.

Solve,

Let $v_2$ is the speed of water flowing in the second pipe. The relation between the area of cross section and the velocity is given by the continuity equation. It is given by :

$A_1v_1=A_2v_2$

$v_2=\dfrac{A_1v_1}{A_2}$

$v_2=\dfrac{2\times 2}{0.5}$

$v_2=8\ m/s$

Therefore, the water is flowing in the second pipe at the rate of 8 m/s.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The final temperature of the element = 262.67°C

The power dissipated in the heating element initially = 163.21 W

The power dissipated in the heating element when the current reaches 1.23 A = 147.60 W

Explanation:

Our given parameters include;

A Nichrome heating element operates on 120 V.

Voltage (V) = 120V

Initial Current (I₁) = 1.36 A

Initial Temperature (T₁) = 28°C

Final Current (I₂) = 1.23 A

Final Temperature (T₂) = unknown ????

Temperature dependencies of resistance is given by:

$R_{T(2)}=R_1[1+\alpha (T_2-T_1)]$ ---------------------- (1)

in which R₁ is the resistance at temperature T₁

$R_{T(2)$ is the resistance at temperature T₂

Given that V= IR

R = $\frac{V}{I}$

Therefore, the resistance at temperature 28°C is;

$R_{28}= \frac{120V}{1.36A}$

= 88.24Ω

$R_{T(2)$ = $\frac{120V}{1.23A}$

= 97.56Ω

From (1) above;

$R_{T(2)}=R_1[1+\alpha (T_2-T_1)]$

97.56 = 88.24 [ 1 + 4.5×10⁻⁴(°C)⁻¹(T₂-28°C)]

$\frac{97.56}{88.24}= 1+(4.5*10^{-4})(T-28^0C)$

1.1056 - 1 = 4.5×10⁻⁴(°C)⁻¹(T₂-28°C)

0.1056 = 4.5×10⁻⁴(T₂-28°C)

$\frac{0.1056}{4.5*10^{-4}}= T-28^0C$

T - 28° C = 234.67

T = 234.67 + 28° C

T = 262.67 ° C

(b)

What is the power dissipated in the heating element initially and when the current reaches 1.23 A

The power dissipated in the heating element initially can be calculated as:

P = I²₁R₂₈

P = (1.36A)²(88.24Ω)

P = 163.209 W

P ≅ 163.21 W

The power dissipated in the heating element when the current reaches 1.23 A can be calculated as:

$P= I^2_2R_{T^0C$

P = (1.23)²(97.56Ω)

P = 147.598524

P ≅ 147.60 W

You know your mass is 62 kg but when you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator it says your mass is 77 kg what is the acceler

lbvjy [14]

In a stationary situation, the weight of person is
$W=mg=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 608.2 N$
This is the weight "felt" by the scale, which is basically the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which uses the value of g (9.81) as reference to convert the weight (602.8 N) into a mass (62 kg).

When the person is in the elevator, the scale says 77 kg. The scale is still using the same value of conversion (9.81), so the apparent weight "felt" by the scale is
$W' = m'g=(77 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=755.4 N$
This is the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which is directed upward. Besides this force, there is still the weight W of the person, acting downward. So, if we use Newton's second law:
$\sum F = ma$
$W-W'=ma$
where a is the acceleration of the elevator. If we solve for a, we find
$a= \frac{W-W'}{m}= \frac{608.2N-755.4N}{62 kg}=-2.37 m/s^2$
The negative sign means the acceleration is in the opposite direction of g (which we take positive), so it means the elevator is going upward.

Fifteen grams of substance X at 95 degrees Celsius is mixed with 45 grams of substance Z at 85 degrees Celsius in a container wh

Viefleur [7K]

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. They are just transferred from one system to another. To obey this law, the energy of the substances inside the container must be equal to the substance added to it. The energy is in the form of heat. There can be two types of heat energy: latent heat and sensible heat. Sensible heat is energy added or removed when a substance changes in temperature. Latent heat is the energy added or removed at a constant temperature during a phase change. Since there is no mention of phase change, we assume the heat involved here is sensible heat. The equation for sensible heat is:

H = mCpΔT
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cp is the specific heat of a certain type of material or substance
ΔT is the change in temperature.

So the law of conservation of heat tells that:

Sensible heat of Z + Sensible heat of container = Sensible heat of X

Since we have no idea what these substances are, there is no way of knowing the Cp. We can't proceed with the calculations. So, we can only assume that in the duration of 15 minutes, the whole system achieves equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium temperature of the system is equal to 32°C. The answer is C.
