Answer:

Temperature of water leaving the radiator = 160°F

Explanation:

Heat released = (ṁcΔT)

Heat released = 20000 btu/hr = 5861.42 W

ṁ = mass flowrate = density × volumetric flow rate

Volumetric flowrate = 2 gallons/min = 0.000126 m³/s; density of water = 1000 kg/m³

ṁ = 1000 × 0.000126 = 0.126 kg/s

c = specific heat capacity for water = 4200 J/kg.K

H = ṁcΔT = 5861.42

ΔT = 5861.42/(0.126 × 4200) = 11.08 K = 11.08°C

And in change in temperature terms,

10°C= 18°F

11.08°C = 11.08 × 18/10 = 20°F

ΔT = T₁ - T₂

20 = 180 - T₂

T₂ = 160°F

While riding in a hot air balloon, which is steadily descending at a speed of 1.01 m/s, you accidentally drop your cell phone?
mote1985 [20]

While riding in a hot air balloon, which is steadily at a speed of 1.01 m/s, and your phone accidentally falls.

<span>(a)    </span>The speed of your phone after 4 s is:

V= u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(4)

V= 40.21 m/s

<span>(b)   </span>The balloon is ____ far:

V = u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(1)

V=10.81 –distance at 1 one second

V= u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(2)

V= 20.61-distance at 2 seconds

V= u+ at

V= 30.41- distance at 3 seconds

V= 40.21- distance at 4 seconds

D= 102.04 m

<span>(c)    </span>If the balloon is rising steadily at 1.01 m/s:

V= -1.1 m/s

<span> </span>

Mass of 23.94kg and volume 2.10 cubic centimeters. Calculate the density of the copper wire in si units (ų/mm cubic)
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Density = 1.14 kg/mm³

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Volume = 2.10 cm³ to mm = 2.10 * 10 = 21 mm³

Mass = 23.94kg

To find the density;

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the equation;

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Density = \frac{23.94}{21}

Density = 1.14 kg/mm³

Select the correct answer. The motion of a car on a position-time graph is represented with a horizontal line. What does this in
enyata [817]

If the car's motion appears as a horizontal line on a <u><em>position-time </em></u>graph, it shows that as time changes, the car's position doesn't change.

This is just a complicated way to say that the car is <em>not moving</em>.<em> (A)</em>

Two books with different masses fall off the same bookshelf. As they fall,which has more kinetic energy and why
Alex
Kinetic energy E = m * v^2 

<span>Since the acceleration of both books will be -neglecting air resistance - the same, the kinetic energy will be directly proportional to the mass of the book.</span>
