Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance=  Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles

Air expands adiabatically in a piston–cylinder assembly from an initial state where p1 = 100 lbf/in.2, v1 = 3.704 ft3/lb, and T1
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Final temperature is equal to 1291.63°R  

Explanation:

given,

p₁ = 100 lb f/in²,               v₁ = 3.704 ft³/lb,           and T₁ = 1000 °R

p₂ = 30 lb f/in²                 n = 1.4

Δ u = 0.171(T₂ - T₁)

we know for poly tropic process

p vⁿ = constant

p₁ v₁ⁿ = p₂ v₂ⁿ

100 × 3.704¹°⁴ = 30 × v₂¹°⁴

v₂ = 8.753 ft³/lb

work done for poly tropic process

W = \dfrac{p_1v_1-p_2v_2}{n-1}

    = \dfrac{100\times 3.704-30\times 8.753}{1.4-1}

    = 269.525 lbf/in².ft³

W = \dfrac{269.525}{5.40395} Btu/lb

   = 49.87 Btu/lb

in the piston cylinder arrangement air is expanding acrobatically

Δ q = Δu + w

Δ u = - w

0.171(T₂ - T₁) = -49.87

0.171(T₁ - T₂) = -49.87

0.171 T₂ = 0.171 × 1000 + 49.87

T₂ = 1291.63 °R

Final temperature is equal to 1291.63°R

. If a pendulum-driven clock gains 5.00 s/day, what fractional change in pendulum length must be made for it to keep perfect tim
inn [45]

Answer:

The appropriate response will be "Length must be increased by 0.012%".

Explanation:

The given values is:

ΔT = 5 s/day

Now,

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T} =\frac{5}{24\times 60\times 60}

On multiplying both sides by  "100", we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}\times 100 =\frac{500}{24\times 60\times 60}

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}\times 100=0.005787 (%)

∵  T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}% = \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{\Delta l}{l}%

On applying cross multiplication, we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta l}{l}% = 2\times \frac{\Delta T}{T}%

⇒        = 2\times 0.05787

⇒        = 0.011574

⇒        = 0.012%

A lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. what is the lizard average acceleration
VLD [36.1K]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

change in speed = (10 m/s) - (2 m/s)  =  8 m/s

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (4 sec)

Acceleration = (8/4) (m/s²)

<em>Acceleration = 2 m/s²</em>
