Air is cooled in a process with constant pressure of 150 kPa. Before the process begins, air has a specific volume of 0.062 m^3/

kg. The final specific volume is 0.027 m^3/kg. Find the specific work in the process.

Answer:

The pressure is constant, and it is P = 150kpa.

the specific volumes are:

initial = 0.062 m^3/kg

final = 0.027 m^3/kg.

Then, the specific work can be written as:

W = \int\limits^{vf}_{vi} {Pdv} \, = P(vf - vi) = 150kPa*(0.0027 - 0.062)m^3/kg = -5.25 kPa*m^3/kg.

The fact that the work is negative, means that we need to apply work to the air in order to compress it.

Now, to write it in more common units we have that:

1 kPa*m^3 = 1000J.

-5.25 kPa*m^3/kg = -5250 J/kg.

A car drives off a cliff next to a river at a speed of 30 m/s and lands on the bank on theother side. The road above the cliff i
dezoksy [38]

Answer:1.301 s

Explanation:

Given

Initial Velocity(u)=30 m/s

Height of cliff=8.3 m

Time taken to cover 8.3 m

h=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

here Initial vertical velocity is 0

8.3=\frac{gt^2}{2}

t^2=1.69

t=1.301 s

Horizontal distance

R=u\times t

R=30\times 1.301=39.04 m

Estimate the electric field at a point 2.40 cm perpendicular to the midpoint of a uniformly charged 2.00-m-long thin wire carryi
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

E = 1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}

Explanation:

Hi!

The perpendicular distance 2.4cm, is much less than the distance to both endpoints of the wire, which is aprox 1m. Then the edge effect is negligible at this field point, and we can aproximate the wire as infinitely long.

The electric filed of an infinitely long wire is easy to calculate. Let's call z the axis along the wire. Because of its simmetry (translational and rotational), the electric field E must point in the radial direction,  and it cannot depende on coordinate z. To calculate the field Gauss law is used, as seen in the image, with a cylindrical gaussian surface. The result is:

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}\\\lambda=\text{charge per unit length}=\frac{4.95 \mu C}{2 m} = 2.475 \frac{C}{m}\\r=\text{perpendicular distance to wire}\\\epsilon_0=8.85*10^{-12}\frac{C^2}{Nm^2}

Then the electric field at the point of interest is estimated as:

E = \frac{\22.475}{2\pi*( 8.85*10^{-12})*(2.4*10^{-2})}\frac{N}{C}=1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}

A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 150 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. It is loaded with 600
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

v(10\,s) \approx 775.387\,\frac{m}{s}

v(20\,s)\approx 1905.350\,\frac{m}{s}

v(30\,s) \approx 4023.595\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The speed of the rocket is given the Tsiolkovsky's differential equation, whose solution is:

v (t) = v_{o} - v_{ex}\cdot \ln \frac{m}{m_{o}}

Where:

v_{o} - Initial speed of the rocket, in m/s.

v_{ex} - Exhaust gas speed, in m/s.

m_{o} - Initial total mass of the rocket, in kg.

m - Current total mass of the rocket, in kg.

Let assume that fuel is burned linearly. So that,

m(t) = m_{o} + r\cdot t

The initial total mass of the rocket is:

m_{o} = 750\,kg

The fuel consumption rate is:

r = -\frac{600\,kg}{30\,s}

r = -20\,\frac{kg}{s}

The function for the current total mass of the rocket is:

m(t) = 750\,kg - (20\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot t

The speed function of the rocket is:

v(t) = - 2500\,\frac{m}{s}\cdot \ln \frac{750\,kg -(20\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot t}{750\,kg}

The speed of the rocket at given instants are:

v(10\,s) \approx 775.387\,\frac{m}{s}

v(20\,s)\approx 1905.350\,\frac{m}{s}

v(30\,s) \approx 4023.595\,\frac{m}{s}
