Within an internal combustion engine, the can-shaped component that moves up and down the cylinder

Physics

Mrrafil [7]3 years ago

This component is called the piston.

A piston is a cylindrical engine component that slides back and fourth in the cylinder bore by forces produced during the combustion process. The piston acts as a movable end of the combustion  chamber.

Pistons are commonly made of a cast aluminum alloy for excellent and light weight thermal conductivity. Aluminum expands when heated and proper clearance must be provided to maintain  free piston movement in the cylinder.

If the clearance is not sufficient the piston will seize and if it is excessive there will be loss of compression.

what was the acceleration of the cart with Low fan speed cm/s squared? what was the acceleration of the cart with medium fan spe
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Explanation:

The attached figure shows data for the cart speed, distance and time.

For low fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 7.4 s

Average velocity,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{7.4}\\\\v=67.56\ cm/s

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{67.56}{7.4}\\\\a=9.12\ cm/s^2

For medium fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 6.4 s

Average velocity,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{6.4}\\\\v=78.12\ cm/s

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{78.12}{6.4}\\\\a=12.2\ cm/s^2

For high fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 5.6 s

Average velocity,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{5.6}\\\\v=89.28\ cm/s

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{89.28}{5.6}\\\\a=15.94\ cm/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain how electric currents flow only in closed circuits​
Fed [463]

Answer:

The wires are connected to both terminals of the battery, so they form a closed loop. Most circuits have devices such as light bulbs that convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. ... When the switch is turned on, the circuit is closed and current can flow through it.
