Convert the units of power,W = 7 hp = 7 * 745.69 = 5219.83 WCalculate the power input to the pump using the efficiency of the pump equationn=Wpump/Wshaft
Substitute 0.82 for n and 5219.83 for Wshaft0.82=Wpump/5219.83   Wpump=0.82*5219.83=4280.26 WCalculate the mass flow ratein=Wpump/(gz_2 )Where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and z_2 is the elevation of water. Substitute 4280.26 for Wpump, 9.81 m/s^2 for g, and 19m for z_2in = 4280.26 / 9.81 * 19 = 22.9640 m^3/sCalculate the volume flow rate of waterV=m/ρWhere ρ is the density of water. Substitute 22.9640  m^3/s for in and 1000  m^3/kg for ρ, we get V = 22.9640 / 1000 = 0.0230 kg/sTherefore, the volume flow rate of water is 0.0230 kg/s

A baseball is thrown with an initial velocity of 45.4 m/s at an angle of 31.2 ∘ .
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

V (initial vertical velocity) = 45.4 sin 31.2 = 23.52 m/s

1/2 m V^2 = m g h      conservation of energy

h = V^2 / (2 g) = 23.52^2 / 19.6 = 28.2 m       max height

Check:

t = 28.2 / 9.8 = 2.88 sec    time to reach max height

h = 23.52 * 2.88 - 1/2 g 2.88^2 = 27.1 m

A concave mirror always forms a virtual image of a real object. O True O False
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

The spherical mirrors are the mirror that are a part of a sphere. Concave and convex mirrors are two types of spherical mirrors.

A concave mirror always forms real and inverted image. A convex mirror forms real and virtual images.

For concave mirror, the value of magnification is less that 1. Also, the focal length is negative for concave mirrors.

So, the given statement is false as a concave mirror always forms a real and inverted image. Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain the Big Bang and how it started
AlexFokin [52]

The big bang is how astronomers explain the way the universe began. It is the idea that the universe began as just a single point, then expanded and stretched to grow as large as it is right now (and it could still be stretching).

A water wave has a speed of 23.0 meters/second. If the wave’s frequency is 0.0680 hertz, what is the wavelength?
tankabanditka [31]
     Using the Fundamental Equation of Wave, we have:

v=\lambda f \\ \lambda= \frac{23}{0.068}  \\ \boxed {\lambda \approx 338m}
