Answer:

D) diffraction

Explanation:

Corona is an optical phenomenon produced by the diffraction of sunlight or moonlight, as light moves through water droplets in the atmosphere.

This phenomenon produces one or more diffuse concentric rings of light around the Sun or Moon, usually seen as colored circles.

Therefore, the explanation for these phenomena of colored concentric circles, sometimes seen with the Sun or the Moon involves diffraction.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Explanation:

Just to make it clear, the question is as follows from what I understand.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.  You can neglect air resistance.

Just after the cargo has fallen out:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

b. The cargo slows down but the plane does not change speed.

c. Neither the cargo nor the plane change speed.

d. The plane speeds up and the cargo slows down.

e. Both the cargo and the plane speed up.

And we are requested to choose the right answer under the given conditions. We know the glider has no motor, then it must be in free fall movement, then it is experiencing some force that pulls it to the from due to the gravity effect on it, and a force in general is calculated by

F=m*a, m:= mass of the object, a:= acceleration.

Here we are only considering the horizontal effect of the forces, then since the mass is reduced the acceleration must increase to compensate and maintain  the equilibrium of the forces, then the glider being lighter can travel faster due to the acceleration. On the other hand by the time the cargo left the glider there was no acceleration and the speed it had at the moment he left the plane continues, then the cargo does not change its speed, then horizontally speaking the answer would be a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

A solid cylinder of mass M = 45 kg, radius R = 0.44 m and uniform density is pivoted on a frictionless axle coaxial with its sym
user100 [1]

Answer:

w_f = 1.0345 rad/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The mass of the solid cylinder M = 45 kg

- Radius of the cylinder R = 0.44 m

- The mass of the particle m = 3.6 kg

- The initial speed of cylinder w_i = 0 rad/s

- The initial speed of particle V_pi = 3.3 m/s

- Mass moment of inertia of cylinder I_c = 0.5*M*R^2

- Mass moment of inertia of a particle around an axis I_p = mR^2

Find:

- What is the magnitude of its angular velocity after the collision?

Solution:

- Consider the mass and the cylinder as a system. We will apply the conservation of angular momentum on the system.

                                     L_i = L_f

- Initially, the particle is at edge at a distance R from center of cylinder axis with a velocity V_pi = 3.3 m/s contributing to the initial angular momentum of the system by:

                                    L_(p,i) = m*V_pi*R

                                    L_(p,i) = 3.6*3.3*0.44

                                    L_(p,i) = 5.2272 kgm^2 /s

- While the cylinder was initially stationary w_i = 0:

                                    L_(c,i) = I*w_i

                                    L_(c,i) = 0.5*M*R^2*0

                                    L_(c,i) = 0 kgm^2 /s

The initial momentum of the system is L_i:

                                    L_i = L_(p,i) + L_(c,i)

                                    L_i = 5.2272 + 0

                                    L_i = 5.2272 kg-m^2/s

- After, the particle attaches itself to the cylinder, the mass and its distribution around the axis has been disturbed - requires an equivalent Inertia for the entire one body I_equivalent. The final angular momentum of the particle is as follows:

                                   L_(p,f) = I_p*w_f

- Similarly, for the cylinder:

                                   L_(c,f) = I_c*w_f

- Note, the final angular velocity w_f are same for both particle and cylinder. Every particle on a singular incompressible (rigid) body rotates at the same angular velocity around a fixed axis.

                                  L_f = L_(p,f) + L_(c,f)

                                  L_f = I_p*w_f + I_c*w_f

                                  L_f = w_f*(I_p + I_c)

-Where, I_p + I_c is the new inertia for the entire body = I_equivalent that we discussed above. This could have been determined by the superposition principle as long as the axis of rotations are same for individual bodies or parallel axis theorem would have been applied for dissimilar axes.

                                  L_i = L_f

                                  5.2272 = w_f*(I_p + I_c)

                                  w_f =  5.2272/ R^2*(m + 0.5M)

Plug in values:

                                  w_f =  5.2272/ 0.44^2*(3.6 + 0.5*45)

                                  w_f =  5.2272/ 5.05296

                                  w_f = 1.0345 rad/s

Air at 400 kPa, 980 K enters a turbine operating at steady state and exits at 100 kPa, 670 K. Heat transfer from the turbine occ
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

a). \frac{\dot{W}}{m}= 311 kJ/kg

b). \frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=0.9113 kJ/kg-K

Explanation:

a). The energy rate balance equation in the control volume is given by

\dot{Q} - \dot{W}+m(h_{1}-h_{2})=0

\frac{\dot{Q}}{m} = \frac{\dot{W}}{m}+m(h_{1}-h_{2})

\frac{\dot{W}}{m}= \frac{\dot{Q}}{m}+c_{p}(T_{1}-T_{2})

\frac{\dot{W}}{m}= -30+1.1(980-670)

\frac{\dot{W}}{m}= 311 kJ/kg

b). Entropy produced from the entropy balance equation in a control volume is given by

\frac{\dot{Q}}{T_{boundary}}+\dot{m}(s_{1}-s_{2})+\dot{\sigma _{gen}}=0

\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=\frac{-\frac{\dot{Q}}{m}}{T_{boundary}}+(s_{2}-s_{1})

\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=\frac{-\frac{\dot{Q}}{m}}{T_{boundary}}+c_{p}ln\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}-R.ln\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}}

\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=\frac{-30}{315}+1.1ln\frac{670}{980}-0.287.ln\frac{100}{400}

\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=0.0952+0.4183+0.3978

\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=0.9113 kJ/kg-K

Potential difference of a battery is 2.2 V when it is connected
Alchen [17]

Answer:

1.1ohms

Explanation:

According to ohms law E = IR

If potential difference of a battery is 2.2 V when it is connected across a resistance of 5 ohm and if suddenly the voltage Falls to 1.8V then the current in the 5ohms resistor I = V/R = 1.8/5

I = 0.36A (This will be the load current).

Before we can calculate the value of the internal resistance, we need to know the voltage drop across the internal resistance.

Voltage drop = 2.2V - 1.8V = 0.4V

Then we calculate the internal resistance using ohms law.

According to the law, V = Ir

V= voltage drop

I is the load current

r = internal resistance

0.4 = 0.36r

r = 0.4/0.36

r = 1.1 ohms
