Answer:

58.24 Km/h.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance (d) = 495 Km

Time (t) = 8 h 30 mins

Speed (S) =?

Next, we shall express 8 hours 30 mins to hours.

We'll begin by convert 30 mins to hour.

60 mins = 1 h

Therefore,

30 mins = 30 mins × 1 h/ 60 mins

30 mins = 0.5 hour.

Thus,

8 h 30 min = 8 + 0.5 = 8.5 hours

Speed is define as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance /time

With the above formula, we can obtain the speed as shown below:

Distance (d) = 495 Km

Time (t) = 8.5 hour

Speed (S) =?

Speed = Distance /time

Speed = 495 Km / 8.5 hour

Speed = 58.24 Km/h

Thus, the speed is 58.24 Km/h.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The ball travel for 702m

Explanation:

distance = speed × time

speed = 3m/s

time = 234s

distance = 3 × 234

= 702m

The energy that generates wind comes from what source?
Rudiy27

Answer:

we can say that wind energy is due to

D) Severe thunderstorms

Explanation:

As we know that wind energy is converted into kinetic energy of wind mills

This kinetic energy of wind mill is then converted into electrical energy using turbine

now we can consider here  energy conservation theory that energy is only converted from one form to other form

it neither be destroyed nor be created but it can transfer from one form to other form

So here we can say that wind energy is due to

D) Severe thunderstorms

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

A very narrow beam of white light is incident at 40.80° onto the top surface of a rectangular block of flint glass 11.6 cm thick
DerKrebs [107]
Dispersion angle = 0.3875 degrees. 
Width at bottom of block = 0.09297 cm 
Thickness of rainbow = 0.07038 cm 
 Snell's law provides the formula that describes the refraction of light. It is:
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 where
 n1, n2 = indexes of refraction for the different mediums
 Î¸1, θ2 = angle of incident rays as measured from the normal to the surface. 
 Solving for θ2, we get
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 n1*sin(θ1)/n2 = sin(θ2)
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2 
 The index of refraction for air is 1.00029, So let's first calculate the angles of the red and violet rays.
 Red:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.641) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.641) = θ2
 asin(0.398299876) = θ2
 23.47193844 = θ2 
 Violet:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.667) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.667) = θ2
 asin(0.39208764) = θ2
 23.08446098 = θ2 
 So the dispersion angle is:
 23.47193844 - 23.08446098 = 0.38747746 degrees. 
 Now to determine the width of the beam at the bottom of the glass block, we need to calculate the difference in the length of the opposite side of two right triangles. Both triangles will have a height of 11.6 cm and one of them will have an angle of 23.47193844 degrees, while the other will have an angle of 23.08446098 degrees. The idea trig function to use will be tangent, where
 tan(θ) = X/11.6
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 So for Red:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.47193844) = X
 11.6*0.434230136 = X
 5.037069579 = X 
 And violet:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.08446098) = X
 11.6*0.426215635 = X
 4.944101361 = X 
 So the width as measured from the bottom of the block is: 5.037069579 cm - 4.944101361 cm = 0.092968218 cm 
 The actual width of the beam after it exits the flint glass block will be thinner. The beam will exit at an angle of 40.80 degrees and we need to calculate the length of the sides of a 40.80/49.20/90 right triangle. If you draw the beams, you'll realize that:
 cos(θ) = X/0.092968218
 0.092968218*cos(θ) = X 
 0.092968218*cos(40.80) = X
 0.092968218*0.756995056 = X
 0.070376481 = X 
 So the distance between the red and violet rays is 0.07038 cm.

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez
katrin [286]

Answer:

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

Explanation:

pressure P  = E/c

Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light

c= speed of light  = 3×10^8 m/s

P = 1000/ 3×10^8

P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa

Force F = P×A

  • P is the pressure and c= speed of light

F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)

= 2.22×10^{-6}

acceleration a  = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2
