Answer:

No.

Explanation:

A feather is less dense and thus less force exerted while a rock is very dense thus exerting more force .

Steam is leaving a pressure cooker whose operating pressure is 20 psia. It is observed that the amount of liquid in the cooker h

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a) 34.05ft/s

b).1156.2BTU/lbm

c) 2.04BTU/s

Explanation:

Amount of liquid that has evaporated, m = ◇Vliq/ Vf

We replace the values to make conversion

m = (0.6gal/ 0.01683ft^3/lbm) × (0.13368ft^3/1gal)

m = 4.755lb

The mass flow rate of exit steam is given by:

m' = m/◇t

We replace values to make conversion

m' =( 4.766lb/45min) = 0.1059lb/min × 1min/60s

m' = 0.001765lb/s

The exit velocity V = m'/pA = m'Vg/A

We replace values to make conversion

V =[ (0.001765lbm/s)(20.093ft^3/lbm) /(0.15 in^2)]× (144in^2/1ft^2)

V = 34.05ft/s

b) The total and flow energies per unit mass is given by:

Eflow= Pv = h - u

We replace the values to make conversion

Eflow = 1156.2 - 1081.8

Eflow = 74.4BTU/lbm

Therefore theta= h + ke + pe

Theta approximately =h = 1156.2BTU/lbs

c) The rate at which energy is leaving the cooler by steam is given by:

Emass = m'theta

Emass = (0.001765)×(1156.2)

Emass = 2.04BTU/s

An isotope undergoes radioactive decay by emitting radiation that has a –1 charge. What other characteristic does the radiation

weeeeeb [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The radiation emitted will have negligible mass number.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Radioactive decay is defined as the process in which an unstable nuclei breaks down into stable nuclei via various methods.

An isotope undergoes a radioactive decay to attain stability.

There are three types of decay process, but the process in which the emitted radiation carries a charge of -1 is beta decay.

Beta decay is defined as the decay process in which a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron. In this decay process, beta particle is emitted. The emitted particle carries a charge of -1 units and has a mass of 0 units. The released beta particle is also known as electron.
