Answer:

a= - 2.6 m/s².

Explanation:

u = 32 m/s

The speed after 6 s is half of u

v= \dfrac{32}{2}=16\ m/s

t= 6 s

The average acceleration = a

We know v = u +at

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation

16= 32 + a x 6

a=\dfrac{16-32}{6}\ m/s^2

a=-2.6\ m/s^2

Therefore the acceleration will be - 2.6 m/s².

a= - 2.6 m/s².

Negative indicates that velocity and acceleration is is opposite direction.

An experiment to determine the convection coefficient associated with airflow over the surface of a thick stainless steel castin
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

h = 375 KW/m^2K

Explanation:

Given:

Thermo-couple distances: L_1 = 10 mm , L_2 = 20 mm

steel thermal conductivity k = 15 W / mK

Thermo-couple temperature measurements: T_1 = 50 C , T_2 = 40 C

Air Temp T_∞ = 100 C

Assuming there are no other energy sources, energy balance equation is:

                                               E_in = E_out

                                        q"_cond = q"_conv

Since, its a case 1-D steady state conduction, the total heat transfer rate can be found from Fourier's Law for surfaces 1 and 2

q"_cond = k * (T_1 - T_2) / (L_2 - L_1) = 15 * (50 - 40) / (0.02 - 0.01)

=15KW/m^2

Assuming SS is solid, temperature at the surface exposed to air will be 60 C since its gradient is linear in the case of conduction, and there are two temperatures given in the problem. Convection coefficient can be found from Newton's Law of cooling:

q"_conv = h * ( T_∞  - T_s ) ----> h = q"_conv / ( T_∞  - T_s )

                                                   h = 15000 W / (100 - 60 ) C = 375 KW/m^2K

Explain the term electric current as used in engineering principles​
vodomira [7]

Answer:

<em>Electric current is the movement of electrons through a wire. Electric current is measured in amperes (amps) and refers to the number of charges that move through the wire per second. If we want current to flow directly from one point to another, we should use a wire that has as little resistance as possible.</em><em>Current is directly proportional to voltage, inversely proportional to resistance. One of the most common electrical measurements you'll use is the watt, a unit of electrical power: W (Watts) = E (Volts) x I (Amperes). The quantity of electric charge is measured in coulombs.</em><em>They can even pass through bones and teeth. This makes gamma rays very dangerous. They can destroy living cells, produce gene mutations, and cause cancer.</em>
