There is evidence that liquid water existed on Mars at some time in the past. What is the evidence found indicating the presence

of liquid water? Why isn’t it possible to have liquid water on the surface today?

There mag be water on Mars but it’s not very easy to spot, but that is besides the point,

Mars is a smaller planet then Earth, thus it has less gravity, meaning when water evaporates into the atmosphere of the planet the water slowly escapes into space, so there is less and less water on the planet.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20-min ride to school is 139.164 BTU.

Explanation:

From Heat Transfer we determine that heat transfer rate due to electromagnetic radiation ( $\dot Q$ ), measured in BTU per hour, is represented by this formula:

$\dot Q = \epsilon\cdot A\cdot \sigma \cdot (T_{s}^{4}-T_{b}^{4})$ (1)

Where:

$\epsilon$ - Emissivity, dimensionless.

$A$ - Surface area of the student, measured in square feet.

$\sigma$ - Stefan-Boltzmann constant, measured in BTU per hour-square feet-quartic Rankine.

$T_{s}$ - Temperature of the student, measured in Rankine.

$T_{b}$ - Temperature of the bus, measured in Rankine.

If we know that $\epsilon = 0.90$ , $A = 16.188\,ft^{2}$ , $\sigma = 1.714\times 10^{-9}\,\frac{BTU}{h\cdot ft^{2}\cdot R^{4}}$ , $T_{s} = 554.07\,R$ and $T_{b} = 527.67\,R$ , then the heat transfer rate due to electromagnetic radiation is:

$\dot Q = (0.90)\cdot (16.188\,ft^{2})\cdot \left(1.714\times 10^{-9}\,\frac{BTU}{h\cdot ft^{2}\cdot R^{4}} \right)\cdot [(554.07\,R)^{4}-(527.67\,R)^{4}]$

$\dot Q = 417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h}$

Under the consideration of steady heat transfer we find that the net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20 min-ride to school is:

$Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t$ (2)

Where $\Delta t$ is the heat transfer time, measured in hours.

If we know that $\dot Q = 417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h}$ and $\Delta t = \frac{1}{3}\,h$ , then the net energy transfer is:

$Q = \left(417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\,h \right)$

$Q = 139.164\,BTU$

The net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20-min ride to school is 139.164 BTU.

Technician A says that a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the starter ground circuit is within specifications. Technician B says tha

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Technician A is wrong

Technician B is right

Explanation:

voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the starter ground circuit is not within specifications. Voltage drop should be within the range of 0.2 V to 0.6 V but not more than that.

A spun bearing can seize itself around the crankshaft journal causing it not to move. As the car ignition system is turned on, the stater may draw high current in order to counter this seizure.

Monica [59]

Answer:

The total tube surface area in m² required to achieve an air outlet temperature of 850 K is 192.3 m²

Explanation:

Here we have the heat Q given as follows;

Q = 15 × 1075 × (1100 - $t_{A2}$ ) = 10 × 1075 × (850 - 300) = 5912500 J

∴ 1100 - $t_{A2}$ = 1100/3

$t_{A2}$ = 733.33 K

$\Delta \bar{t}_{a} =\frac{t_{A_{1}}+t_{A_{2}}}{2} - \frac{t_{B_{1}}+t_{B_{2}}}{2}$

Where

$\Delta \bar{t}_{a}$ = Arithmetic mean temperature difference

$t_{A_{1}$ = Inlet temperature of the gas = 1100 K

$t_{A_{2}$ = Outlet temperature of the gas = 733.33 K

$t_{B_{1}$ = Inlet temperature of the air = 300 K

$t_{B_{2}$ = Outlet temperature of the air = 850 K

Hence, plugging in the values, we have;

$\Delta \bar{t}_{a} =\frac{1100+733.33}{2} - \frac{300+850}{2} = 341\tfrac{2}{3} \, K = 341.67 \, K$

Hence, from;

$\dot{Q} = UA\Delta \bar{t}_{a}$ , we have

5912500 = 90 × A × 341.67

$A = \frac{5912500 }{90 \times 341.67} = 192.3 \, m^2$

Hence, the total tube surface area in m² required to achieve an air outlet temperature of 850 K = 192.3 m².
