A fuel pump sends gasoline from a car's fuel tank to the engine at a rate of 5.64 10-2 kg/s. the density of the gasoline is 735
Irina18 [472]
Given:
Gasoline pumping rate, R = 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s
Density of gasoline, D = 735 kg/m³
Radius of fuel line, r = 3.43 x 10⁻³ m

Calculate the cross sectional area of the fuel line.
A = πr² = π(3.43 x 10⁻³ m)² = 3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Let v =  speed of pumping the gasoline, m/s
Then the mass flow rate is 
M = AvD = (3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²)*(v m/s)*(735 kg/m³) = 0.027166v kg/s

The gasoline pumping rate is given as 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s, therefore
0.027166v = 0.0564
v = 2.076 m/s

Answer:  2.076 m/s
The gasoline moves through the fuel line at 2.076 m/s.

W=90 kg×4n/kg<br>Please halp me i need it ​
kiruha [24]

I'm guessing that this is a problem to find the weight of a 90kg mass on a planet where the acceleration of gravity is 4 m/s^2. (Much less gravity than Earth, a little more than Mars.)

Just do the multiplication, and you get

360 Newtons.

The crankshaft in a race car goes from rest to 3000 rpm in 3.0 s . (a) What is the crankshaft's angular acceleration?
Talja [164]

Answer:

75 rotations

Explanation:

f0 = 0, f = 3000 rpm = 50 rps, t = 3 s

(a) use first equation of motion for rotational motion

w = w0 + α t

2 x 3.14 x 50 = 0 + α x 3

α = 104.67 rad/s^2

(b) Let θ be the angular displacement

use second equation of motion for rotational motion

θ = w0 t + 1/2 α t^2

θ = 0 + 0.5 x 104.67 x 3 x 3

θ = 471.015 rad

The angle turn in one rotation is 2 π radian.

Number of rotation = 471.015 / (2 x 3.14) = 75 rotations

Why do you think a clothes dryer requires a 220-volt outlet, while a toaster only requires a 110-volt outlet?
hammer [34]

A toaster needs a 110-volt outlet because it doesn’t need too much electricity.  Electricity can be converted to heat, and toaster only needs to be heated and nothing else that requires extra electricity while clothes dyer requires higher voltage because it needs more effort and electricity in order to do its function.

2. If you want 0. 250 a (250 milliamps) to flow around a circuit with a resistance of 400 ohms, what voltage do you need?
grigory [225]

Answer:

0.000625 V

Explanation:

The formula linking current , resistance and voltage is :

V = I/R

Voltage = Current / Resistance

Now we substitute values given in question :

Voltage = 0.250 / 400

Voltage (V) = 0.000625

Our final answer is 0.000625 V

Hope this helped and have a good day
