A bug lands on a windshielf wiper. Explain why the bug is more likely to be dislodged when the wipers are turned on at the high

rather than low setting.

Answer and Explanation:

The motion of the viper is circular and it completes a semi- circle forming an arc and then retraces its path back.

Thus the force experienced by the bug is centripetal force thus centripetal acceleration and in the absence of this force the bug will get dislodged.

This centripetal force is mainly provided by the static friction between the blades and the bug.

When the wipers are moving with high velocity when turned on, larger centripetal force is required to keep the bug moving with the wiper on the arc  than at low setting.

Thus there are more chances for the bug to be dislodged at higher setting than at low setting.

Answer:

Explanation:

i.  CW moment = 10 N (10 cm) + 30 N (30 cm) - 60 N (40 cm) = - 1400 N-cm

ii.  ACW momenet = 60 N (40 cm) - 10 N (10 cm) + 30 N (30 cm) = 1400 N-cm

iii.  No. The lever is not balanced in the situation. Because the moment is ± 1400 N-cm.  if balance, the moment must be Zero.

iv.   the location of 10N by keeping the other loads unchanged to balance the lever is 150 cm

take moment from Δ (support)

60(40) = 10(x) + 30(30)

2400 = 10x + 900

10x = 2400 - 900

10x = 1500

x = 1500/10

x = 150 cm  

therefore, the location of 10N by keeping the other loads unchanged to balance the lever is 150 cm

The efficiency of a carnot cycle is 1/6. If on reducing the temperature of the sink 75 degree Celsius, the efficiency becomes 1/
svp [43]

Answer:

375 and 450

Explanation:

The computation of the initial and the final temperature is shown below:

In condition 1:

The efficiency of a Carnot cycle is \frac{1}{6}

So, the equation is

\frac{1}{6} = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1}

For condition 2:

Now if the temperature is reduced by 75 degrees So, the efficiency is \frac{1}{3}

Therefore the next equation is

\frac{1}{3} = 1 - \frac{T_2 - 75}{T_1}

Now solve both the equations

solve equations (1) and (2)

2(1 - T_2/T_1) = 1 - (T_2 - 75)/T_1\\\\2 - 1 = 2T_2/T_1 - (T_2 - 75)/T_1\\\\ = (T_2 + 75)/T_1T_1 = T_2 + 75\\\Now\ we\ will\ Put\ the\ values\ into\ equation (1)\\\\1/6 = 1 - T_2/(T_2 + 75)\\\\1/6 = (75)/(T_2 + 75)

T_2 + 450 = 75

T_2 = 375

Now put the T_2 value in any of the above equation

i.e

T_1 = T_2 + 75

T_1 = 375 + 75

= 450

Which type of energy would be put into a hair dryer being used to dry your hair and why
Ivahew [28]
Electrical because without it, the hairdryer wouldn’t turn on. Thermal and sound are types of energy that are released after turning it on.
