Answer:Decay rate constant,k  = 0.00376/hr

Explanation:

IsT Order  Rate of reaction is given as

In At/ Ao = -Kt

where [A]t is the final concentration at time  t  and  [A]o  is the inital concentration at time 0, and  k  is the first-order rate constant.

Initial concentration = 80 mg/L

Final concentration = 50 mg/L

Velocity = 40 m/hr

Distance= 5000 m

Time taken = Distance / Time

              5000m / 40m/hr = 125 hr

In At/ Ao = -Kt

In 50/80 = -Kt

-0.47 = -kt

- K= -0.47 / 125

k = 0.00376

Decay rate constant,k  = 0.00376/hr

if you had 100 B size sheets and you cut them into A size sheets, how many sheets of A size paper would you have
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

200

Explanation:

A size sheets (also known as letter size) are 8.5 inches by 11 inches.

B size sheets (also known as ledger size) are 11 inches by 17 inches.

One B size sheet is twice as large as a A size sheet.  So if you have 100 B size sheets and cut each one in half, you'll get 200 A size sheets.

For some metal alloy, a true stress of 345 MPa (50040 psi) produces a plastic true strain of 0.02. How much will a specimen of t
saveliy_v [14]

Complete Question

For some metal alloy, a true stress of 345 MPa (50040 psi) produces a plastic true strain of 0.02. How much will a specimen of this material elongate when a true stress of 411 MPa (59610 psi) is applied if the original length is 470 mm (18.50 in.)?Assume a value of 0.22 for the strain-hardening exponent, n.

Answer:

The elongation is =21.29mm

Explanation:

In order to gain a good understanding of this solution let define some terms

True Stress

       A true stress can be defined as the quotient obtained when instantaneous applied load is divided by instantaneous cross-sectional area of a material it can be denoted as \sigma_T.

True Strain

     A true strain can be defined as the value obtained when the natural logarithm quotient of instantaneous gauge length divided by original gauge length of a material is being bend out of shape by a uni-axial force. it can be denoted as \epsilon_T.

The mathematical relation between stress to strain on the plastic region of deformation is

              \sigma _T =K\epsilon^n_T

Where K is a constant

          n is known as the strain hardening exponent

           This constant K can be obtained as follows

                        K = \frac{\sigma_T}{(\epsilon_T)^n}

No substituting  345MPa \ for  \ \sigma_T, \ 0.02 \ for \ \epsilon_T , \ and  \ 0.22 \ for  \ n from the question we have

                     K = \frac{345}{(0.02)^{0.22}}

                          = 815.82MPa

Making \epsilon_T the subject from the equation above

              \epsilon_T = (\frac{\sigma_T}{K} )^{\frac{1}{n} }

Substituting \ 411MPa \ for \ \sigma_T \ 815.82MPa \ for \ K  \ and  \  0.22 \ for \ n

       \epsilon_T = (\frac{411MPa}{815.82MPa} )^{\frac{1}{0.22} }

            =0.0443

       

From the definition we mentioned instantaneous length and this can be  obtained mathematically as follows

           l_i = l_o e^{\epsilon_T}

Where

       l_i is the instantaneous length

      l_o is the original length

Substituting  \ 470mm \ for \ l_o \ and \ 0.0443 \ for  \ \epsilon_T

             l_i = 470 * e^{0.0443}

                =491.28mm

We can also obtain the elongated length mathematically as follows

            Elongated \ Length =l_i - l_o

Substituting \ 470mm \ for l_o and \ 491.28 \ for \ l_i

          Elongated \ Length = 491.28 - 470

                                       =21.29mm
