A diesel engine does not use spark plugs to ignite the fuel and air in the cylinders. Instead, the temperature required to ignit

e the fuel occurs because the pistons compress the air in the cylinders. Suppose that air at an initial temperature of 18° C is compressed adiabatically to a temperature of 733° C. Assume the air to be an ideal gas for which
γ = 7/5

Answer:

Compression ratio = 24.42

Explanation:

From Thermodynamic,

Adiabatic Equation ⇒ TV^{γ-1} = Constant.

⇒T₁V₁^{γ-1}  = T₂V₂^{γ-1} ..................(1)

Where T₁= initial Temperature, V₁ = Initial Volume, T₂ = final Temperature, V₂ = Final Volume.

Given:  T₁= 18°C we convert to  Kelvin(K) by adding 273.

∴      T₁= 18°C + 273 = 291K

        T₂ = 733° C  also,we convert to  Kelvin(K) by adding 273

 ∴      T₂ = 733° C +273 =1046K

          γ = 7/5

 ∴ Rearranging equation(1), we have

    (T₁/T₂) = (V₂/V₁)^{γ-1}................(2)

also rearranging equation(2) we have

   (V₁/V₂)^{γ-1} = (T₂/T₁).

Where (V₁/V₂) = Compression ratio.

∴ (V₁/V₂)^{(7/5)-1} =( 1046/291)

simplifying the index in the equation

I.e (7/5)-1 = (7-5 )/5 = 2/5.

(V₁/V₂)^2/5 =(1046/291)^2/5

Multiplying the power on both side of the equation by 5/2.

∴(V₁/V₂)^(2/5)×(5/2) = (1046/291)^(5/2)

⇒ V₁/V₂= (1046/291)^2.5=( 3.59)^2.5

    V₁/V₂ = 24.42.

∴ Compression ratio = 24.42

Which person will most likely hear the loudest sound?
Nataliya [291]

Person standing on A will hear the loudest sound

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound wave (which is proportional to the loudness of the sound) follows an inverse square law, which is:

I\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

where

I is the intensity of the wave

r is the distance from the source of the sound

This equation means that the intensity of the sound wave (and therefore, its loudness) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance  from the source: therefore,

  • As we get closer to the source of sound, the loudness increases
  • As we move away from the source of sound, the loudness decreases

Therefore, the person that will hear the loudest sound is the one standing closer to the source, and therefore person A.

The magnitude of a force vector is 89.6 newtons (N). The x component of this vector is directed along the +x axis and has a magn
insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) θ = 33.86°

(b) Ay = 49.92 N

Explanation:

You have that the magnitude of a vector is A = 89.6 N

The x component of such a vector is Ax = 74.4 N

(a) To find the angle between the vector and the x axis you use the following formula for the calculation of the x component of a vector:

A_x=Acos\theta       (1)

Ax: x component of vector A

A: magnitude of vector A

θ: angle between vector A and the x axis

You solve the equation (1) for θ, by using the inverse of cosine function:

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{A_x}{A})=cos{-1}(\frac{74.4N}{89.6N})\\\\\theta=33.86\°

the angle between the A vector and the x axis is 33.86°

(b) The y component of the vector is given by:

A_y=Asin\theta\\\\A_y=(89.6N)sin(33.86\°)=49.92N

the y comonent of the vecor is Ay = 49.92 N

Define Archemedics principle?​
azamat

Answer:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of Syracuse.
