Answer:

a) 3170 kw

b) 377 km^2

Explanation:

Estimate of electric power

a) Given :

Average power consumption for a family of 3 = 108.4 * 106 BTU per year  =  0.0317 kw = 31.7 watts

<u>The power requirement for a city of 300000 people </u>

= 31.7 watts * 100000 = 3170000 watts = 3170 kw

b) Given :

Average solar panel insulation = 8.4 W /m^2

<u>Estimate the area of silicon solar cells required to satisfy community power requirement</u>

= (1 * 3170) * (1000/8.4 )

= 377.380 * 10^3 m2 = 377 km^2

How much thermal energy is required to raise the temperature of 5 kg of water 50℃? The specific heat of water is 4168 J/kg*C.
sasho [114]

Answer/solution:

Given :

Mass =5kg

T 1 =20 C,T 2  =100 ∘C

ΔT=100−20=80 ∘C

Q=m×C×ΔT

where C= specific heat capacity of water

=4200J/(kgK)

Q=5×4200×80

=1680000 Joule.

=1680KJ

A ball is thrown straight up with a velocity of 50 m/s.(use g = -10 m/s^2) a) What is the velocity in m/s after 2 seconds?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

(a) 30 m/sec

(b) -50 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity of ball u = 50 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity g=-10m/sec^2

(a) Time t = 2 sec

Now according to first equation of v = u-gt

So v=50-10×2=30 m/sec

(b) Time t = 10 sec

Now according to first equation of motion

So final velocity v = u-gt = 50-10×10 =-50 m/sec

Suppose we want to calculate the moment of inertia of a 56.5 kg skater, relative to a vertical axis through their center of mass
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

a. 0.342 kg-m² b. 2.0728 kg-m²

Explanation:

a. Since the skater is assumed to be a cylinder, the moment of inertia of a cylinder is I = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder and r = radius of cylinder. Now, here, M = 56.5 kg and r = 0.11 m

I = 1/2MR²

= 1/2 × 56.5 kg × (0.11 m)²

= 0.342 kgm²

So the moment of inertia of the skater is

b. Let the moment of inertia of each arm be I'. So the moment of inertia of each arm relative to the axis through the center of mass is (since they are long rods)

I' = 1/12ml² + mh² where m = mass of arm = 0.05M, l = length of arm = 0.875 m and h = distance of center of mass of the arm from the center of mass of the cylindrical body = R/2 + l/2 = (R + l)/2 = (0.11 m + 0.875 m)/2 = 0.985 m/2 = 0.4925 m

I' = 1/12 × 0.05 × 56.5 kg × (0.875 m)² + 0.05 × 56.5 kg × (0.4925 m)²

= 0.1802 kg-m² + 0.6852 kg-m²

= 0.8654 kg-m²

The total moment of inertia from both arms is thus I'' = 2I' = 1.7308 kg-m².

So, the moment of inertia of the skater with the arms extended is thus I₀ = I + I'' = 0.342 kg-m² + 1.7308 kg-m² = 2.0728 kg-m²

If F = 4.0 N and m = 2.0 kg, what is the magnitude a of the acceleration for the block shown below? The surface is frictionless.
erik [133]
Since f=ma when f=4.0 and m=2.0 so the magnitude of acceleration for the block is 2.0m
