Answer: 16.3 seconds

Explanation: Given that the

Initial velocity U = 80 ft/s

Let's first calculate the maximum height reached by using third equation of motion.

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

Where V = final velocity and H = maximum height.

Since the toy is moving against the gravity, g will be negative.

At maximum height, V = 0

0 = 80^2 - 2 × 9.81 × H

6400 = 19.62H

H = 6400/19.62

H = 326.2

Let's us second equation of motion to find time.

H = Ut - 1/2gt^2

Let assume that the ball is dropped from the maximum height. Then,

U = 0. The equation will be reduced to

H = 1/2gt^2

326.2 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t^2

326.2 = 4.905t^2

t^2 = 326.2/4.905

t = sqrt( 66.5 )

t = 8.15 seconds

The time it will take for the rocket to return to ground level will be 2t.

That is, 2 × 8.15 = 16.3 seconds

Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 4 MPa, 500°C, and 80 m/s and the exit c
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

a) \Delta \dot K = 24.570\,kW, b) \dot W_{out} = 12729.15\,kW, c) A_{in} = 0.0136\,m^{2}

Explanation:

A turbine is a device which works usually in steady state and assumption of being adiabatic means no heat interactions between steam through turbine and surroudings and produce mechanical work from fluid energy. Changes in gravitational energy can be neglected. This system can be modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

-\dot W_{out} + \dot m \cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \dot m \cdot (v_{in}^{2}-v_{out}^{2})   = 0

a) Change in kinetic energy

\Delta \dot K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \dot m \cdot (v_{in}^{2} - v_{out}^{2})

\Delta \dot K = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left(12.6\,\frac{kg}{s} \right) \cdot \left[\left(80\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(50\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right]

\Delta \dot K = 24570\,W

\Delta \dot K = 24.570\,kW

b) Power output

\dot W_{out} = \dot m \cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \dot m \cdot (v_{in}^{2}-v_{out}^{2})

\dot W_{out} = \left(12.6\,\frac{kg}{s}\right)\cdot \left(3446\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 2437.7\,\frac{kJ}{kg} \right) + 24.570\,kW

\dot W_{out} = 12729.15\,kW

c) Turbine inlet area

Turbine inlet area can be found by using the following expressions:

\dot V_{in} = \dot m \cdot \nu_{in}

\dot V_{in} = \left(12.6\,\frac{kg}{s}\right) \cdot \left(0.086442\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} \right)

\dot V_{in} = 1.089\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}

A_{in} = \frac{\dot V_{in}}{v_{in}}

A_{in} = \frac{1.089\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} }{80\,\frac{m}{s} }

A_{in} = 0.0136\,m^{2}

An object is moving east with a constant speed of 30 m/s for 5 seconds. What is the object’s acceleration?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

6 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Time (t) = 5 s

Acceleration (a) =..?

Acceleration is defined mathematically as:

Acceleration (a) = Velocity (v) /time (t)

a = v /t

With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the object as follow:

Velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Time (t) = 5 s

Acceleration (a) =..?

a= v/t

a= 30/5

a = 6 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 6 m/s² due East.

Approximately what is the smallest detail observable with a microscope that uses ultraviolet light of frequency 1. 72 x 1015 hz?
postnew [5]

The wavelength, which represents the size of the smallest detectable detail that uses ultraviolet light  , is calculated as follows: 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15} or approximately 1.74×10^{-7}m.

The distance between the two positive, two negative, or two minimal points on the waveform is known as the wavelength of the wave. The following formula expresses the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of light:

f = c / λ

where, f = frequency of light

            c = speed of light

            λ = wavelength of light

Given data = f = 1.72×10^{15}Hz

Therefore, λ = 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15}

                  λ = 1.74×10^{-7}m

The wavelength, which represents the size of the smallest detectable detail that uses ultraviolet light  , is calculated as follows: 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15} or approximately 1.74×10^{-7}m.
