A 11,000-kg train car moving due east at 21.0 m/s collides with and couples to a 23,000-kg train car that is initially at rest.

What is the common velocty of the two-car train after the collisions?

Answer:

v = 6.79 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a train car, m₁ = 11000 kg

Speed of train car, u₁ = 21 m/s

Mass of other train car, m₂ = 23000 kg

Initially, the other train car is at rest, u₂ = 0

It is a case based on inelastic collision as both car couples each other after the collision. The law of conservation of momentum satisied here. So,

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V$

V is the common velocity after the collisions

$V=\dfrac{m_1u_1}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{11000\times 21}{(11000+23000)}\\\\V=6.79\ m/s$

So, the two car train will move with a common velocity of 6.79 m/s.

Steam enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 lbf/in.2 , 500F, with a velocity of 200 ft/s and exits at 60 lbf/in.2 with a velocit

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

$386.2^{\circ}F$

Explanation:

We are given that

$P_1=200lbf/in^2$

$P_2=60lbf/in^2$

$v_1=200ft/s$

$v_2=1700ft/s$

$T_1=500^{\circ}F$

$Q=0$

$C_p=1BTU/lb^{\circ}F$

We have to find the exit temperature.

By steady energy flow equation

$h_1+v^2_1+Q=h_2+v^2_2$

$C_pT_1+\frac{P^2_1}{25037}+Q=C_pT_2+\frac{P^2_2}{25037}$

$1BTU/lb=25037ft^2/s^2$

Substitute the values

$1\times 500+\frac{(200)^2}{25037}+0=1\times T_2+\frac{(1700)^2}{25037}$

$500+1.598=T_2+115.4$

$T_2=500+1.598-115.4$

$T_2=386.2^{\circ}F$

Answer:

tex]2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m}[/tex] ultraviolet region

$2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m}$ x-ray region

Explanation:

T = Temperature

b = Constant of proportionality = $2.898\times 10^{-3}\ \text{m K}$

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

$T=10^4\ \text{K}$

From Wein's law we have

$\lambda=\dfrac{b}{T}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{10^4}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m}$

The wavelength of the radiation will be $2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m}$ and it is in the ultraviolet region.

$T=10^7\ \text{K}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{10^7}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m}$

The wavelength of the radiation will be $2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m}$ and it is in the x-ray region.

A 45.0-kg sample of ice is at 0.00°C. How much heat is needed to melt it? For water, Lf=334 kJ/kg and Lv=2257 kJ/kg

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Heat required to change the phase of ice is given by

Q = m* L

here

m = mass of ice

L = latent heat of fusion

now we have

m = 45 kg

L = 334 KJ/kg

now by using above formula

$Q = 45 * 334 * 10^3$

$Q = 1.5 * 10^7 J$

In KJ we can convert this as

$Q = 1.5 * 10^4 kJ$

so the correct answer is D option
