Suppose that you and two classmates are discussing the design of a roller coaster. One classmate says that each summit must be l

ower than the preceding one. Your other classmate says this is nonsense, for as long as the first one is the highest, it doesn’t matter what height the others are. What do you say

Answer:

The second classmate is right.

Explanation:

The height of first summit provides the potential energy it will use to climb the following ones.

Ep = m * g * h

Where

m: mass

g: acceleration of gravity

h: height

When the train goes downwards the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (manifested as speed) and when it climbs it consumes its kinetical energy. As long as no summit is taller than the first the train should have enough energy to climb them.

Also it must be noted that friction also consumes energy, and if the track is too lomg all the energy might be consumed by it.

An iron-carbon alloy initially containing 0.286 wt% C is exposed to an oxygen-rich and virtually carbon-free atmosphere at 1200°
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data:

initial construction co = 0.286 wt %

concentration at surface position cs = 0 wt %

carbon concentration cx = 0.215 wt%

time = 7 hr

D =  7.5 \times 10^{-11} m^2/s

for 0.225% carbon concentration following formula is used

\frac{cx -co}{cs -co} = 1 - erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{DT}})

where, erf stand for error function

\frac{cx -co}{cs -co} = \frac{0.215 -0.286}{0 -0.286} =0.248

0.248 = 1 - erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{DT}})

erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{DT}}) = 1 - 0.248

erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{DT}}) = 0.751

from the table erf(Z) value = 0.751 lie between (z) = 0.80 and z = 0.85 so by inteerpolation we have z = 0.815

from given table

\frac{x}{2\sqrt{DT}} = 0.815

x = 2\times 0.815 \times \sqrt{7.5 \times 10^{-11}\times (7\times 3600)

x = 2.39\times 10^{-3} m

x = 0.002395 mm

If the head loss in a 30 m of length of a 75-mm-diameter pipe is 7.6 m for a given flow rate of water, what is the total drag fo
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

526.5 KN

Explanation:

The total head loss in a pipe is a sum of pressure head, kinetic energy head and potential energy head.

But the pipe is assumed to be horizontal and the velocity through the pipe is constant, Hence the head loss is just pressure head.

h = (P₁/ρg) - (P₂/ρg) = (P₁ - P₂)/ρg

where ρ = density of the fluid and g = acceleration due to gravity

h = ΔP/ρg

ΔP = ρgh = 1000 × 9.8 × 7.6 = 74480 Pa

Drag force over the length of the pipe = Dynamic pressure drop over the length of the pipe × Area of the pipe that the fluid is in contact with

Dynamic pressure drop over the length of the pipe = ΔP = 74480 Pa

Area of the pipe that the fluid is in contact with = 2πrL = 2π × (0.075/2) × 30 = 7.069 m²

Drag Force = 74480 × 7.069 = 526468.1 N = 526.5 KN

You are working as an electrical technician. One day, out in the field, you need an inductor but cannot find one. Looking in you
telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) the inductance of the coil is 6 mH

b) the emf generated in the coil is 18 mV  

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

N = 570 turns

diameter of tube d = 8.10 cm = 0.081 m

length of the wire-wrapped portion l =  35.0 cm = 0.35 m

a) the inductance of the coil (in mH)

inductance of solenoid

L = N²μA / l

A = πd²/4  

so

L = N²μ(πd²/4) / l

L = N²μ(πd²) / 4l

we know that μ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ TmA⁻¹

we substitute

L = [(570)² × 4π × 10⁻⁷× ( π × (0.081)² )] / 4(0.35)

L =  0.00841549 / 1.4

L = 6 × 10⁻³ H    

L = 6 × 10⁻³ × 1000 mH

L = 6 mH

Therefore, the inductance of the coil is 6 mH

b)

Emf ( ∈ ) = L di/dt

given that; di/dt = 3.00 A/sec

{∴ di = 3 - 0 = 3 and dt = 1 sec}

Emf ( ∈ ) = L di/dt

we substitute

⇒ 6 × 10⁻³ ( 3/1 )

= 18 × 10⁻³ V

= 18 × 10⁻³ × 1000

= 18 mV  

Therefore, the emf generated in the coil is 18 mV

A copper-nickel alloy of composition 60 wt% Ni-40 wt% Cu is slowly heated from a temperature of 1250°C (2280 °F). (a) At what te
makkiz [27]

Answer:

a. The very first liquid process, when heated from 1250 degree Celsius, is expected to form at the temperature by which the vertical line crosses the phase boundary (a -(a + L)) which is about <em>1310 degree Celsius. </em>

b. The structure of that first liquid is identified by the intersection with ((a+ L)-L) phase boundary; <em>47wt %of Ni</em> is of a tie line formed across the (a+ L) phase area <em>at 1310 degrees.</em>

c. To find the alloy's full melting, it is determined that the intersection of the same vertical line at 60 wt percent Ni with (a -(a+L)) phase boundary is around <em>1350 degrees.</em>

c. The structure of the last remaining solid before full melting correlates to the intersection with the phase boundary (a -(a + L), of the tie line built at 1350 degrees across the (a + L) phase area, <em>being 72wt % of Ni.</em>
