Given:

diameter of sphere, d = 6 inches

radius of sphere, r = \frac{d}{2} = 3 inches

density,  \rho} = 493 lbm/ ft^{3}

S.G = 1.0027

g = 9.8 m/ m^{2} = 386.22 inch/ s^{2}

Solution:

Using the formula for terminal velocity,

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2V\rho  g}{A \rho C_{d}}}              (1)

(Since, m = V\times \rho)

where,

V = volume of sphere

C_{d} = drag coefficient

Now,

Surface area of sphere, A = 4\pi r^{2}

Volume of sphere, V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Using the above formulae in eqn (1):

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times \frac{4}{3} \pir^{3}\rho  g}{4\pi r^{2} \rho C_{d}}}

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2gr}{3C_{d}}}  

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 386.22\times 3}{3C_{d}}}

Therefore, terminal velcity is given by:

v_{T} = \frac{27.79}{\sqrt{C_d}} inch/sec

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

A)  222.58 kJ / kg

B)  0.8897 M^3/ kg

c)  0.7737 m^3/kg

D)  746.542 k

E)  536.017 kj/kg

efficiency = 58% ( approximately )

Explanation:

Given Data :

Gas constant (R) =  0.287 kJ/ kg.K

T1 = 310 k

P1 ( Kpa ) = 100

r = 11.5 ( compression ratio )

rp = 1.95 ( pressure ratio )

A ) specific internal energy at state 1

 = Cv*T1 =  0.718 * 310 = 222.58 kJ / kg

B) Relative specific volume at state 1

= P1*V1 = R*T1 ( ideal gas equation )

V1 = R*T1 / P1 = (0.287* 10^3*310 ) / 100 * 10^3

V1 = 88.97 / 100 = 0.8897 M^3/ kg

C ) relative specific volume at state 2

Applying  r ( compression ratio) = V1 / V2

11.5 = 0.8897 / V2

V2 = 0.8897 / 11.5 = 0.7737 m^3/kg

D) The temperature (k) at state 2

since the process is an Isentropic process we will apply the p-v-t relation

\frac{T1}{T2} = (\frac{V1}{V2}^{n-1}  ) = (\frac{P2}{P1} )^{\frac{n-1}{n} }

hence T2 = 9^{1.4-1} * 310 = 2.4082 * 310 = 746.542 k

e) specific internal energy at state 2

= Cv*T2 = 0.718  * 746.542 = 536.017 kj/kg

efficiency = output /input = 390.3511 / 667.5448 ≈ 58%

Define waves as it applies to electromagnetic fields
julsineya [31]

Waves in the electric and magnetic fields are known as electromagnetic waves. You must first understand what a field is, which is just a technique of giving each square inch of space a numerical value. You may see that as a temperature field, for instance, when you look at the weather predictions and they mention the temperature in several locations. Every location on Earth has a unique temperature that can be quantified. Everywhere on Earth has its own wind velocity, which is another form of field. This field differs somewhat from the temperature field in that the wind velocity has both a direction and a magnitude, whereas the temperature just has a magnitude (how hot it is). A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, hence a field that contains vectors at every location is referred to as a vector field. Vector fields include the magnetic and electric fields. We may examine what would happen if we placed a charged particle at any given position in space. If the charged particle were to accelerate, we would state that the electric field there is the direction in which the particle is moving. In general, positively charged particles will move in the electric field's direction, whereas negatively charged particles will move in the opposite way. Because it is a vector field, the magnetic field exhibits comparable behavior. We discovered in the 19th century that the same interaction, electromagnetism, really produces both electric and magnetic fields. Like an electromagnet, a changing electric field will produce a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field will induce an electric field (like in a generator). If your system is configured properly, you may have an electric field that fluctuates, which in turn produces a magnetic field, which in turn induces another electric field, which in turn generates another magnetic field, and so on indefinitely. At the speed of light, this oscillation between a strong magnetic field and strong electric field spreads out indefinitely. In reality, light is an electromagnetic wave—an oscillation in the electromagnetic fields. An electric or magnetic field may exist without a medium since they exist in a vacuum, which implies that waves in these fields don't require a medium like sound to flow through.

Fibonacci sequence has many applications in Computer Science. Write a program to generate Fibonacci numbers as many as desired.
VikaD [51]

Answer:

The Python Code for Fibonacci Sequence is :

# Function for nth Fibonacci number  

def Fibonacci(n):  

if n<0:  

 print("Incorrect input")  

# First Fibonacci number is 0  

elif n==0:  

 return 0

# Second Fibonacci number is 1  

elif n==1:  

 return 1

else:  

 return Fibonacci(n-1)+Fibonacci(n-2)  

# Driver Program  

print(Fibonacci(9))  

Explanation:

The Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following integer sequence.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ……..

In mathematical terms, the sequence Fn of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation

Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2

with seed values

F0 = 0 and F1 = 1.
