Power is the amount of work done per unit of time. It will have units of Watts which is equal to Joules per second. We determine the energy of each system above by multiplying the power with time. We do as follows:

E(heater) =1000 W (1 hr) (3600s/hr) = 3,600,000 J
E(bulb) = 100 W (24 hr) (3600s/hr) =   8,640,000 J

Therefore, the answer would be false. It is the bulb that consumes more energy.

Answer:

570 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram on the rider.  There are three forces: tension force 15° below the horizontal, drag force 30° above the horizontal, and weight downwards.

The rider is moving at constant speed, so acceleration is 0.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos 30° - T cos 15° = 0

F = T cos 15° / cos 30°

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

F sin 30° - W - T sin 15° = 0

W = F sin 30° - T sin 15°

Substituting:

W = (T cos 15° / cos 30°) sin 30° - T sin 15°

W = T cos 15° tan 30° - T sin 15°

W = T (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

Given T = 1900 N:

W = 1900 (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

W = 570 N

The rider weighs 570 N (which is about the same as 130 lb).

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 57.3 c
Mashcka [7]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of pipe,d_1=0.573 m

v_1=13.5 m/s

v_2=5.83 m/s

Volume flow rate of the petroleum along the pipe=Q_{refinery}=A_1v_1=v_(\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4})

Q_{refinery}=13.5\times (\pi\times \frac{0.573)^2}{4})=3.48 m^3/s

By equation of continuity

A_1v_1=A_2v_2

\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4}v_1=\frac{\pi d^2_2}{4}v_2

d^2_2=\frac{v_1}{v_2}d^2_1

d_2=\sqrt{\frac{v_1}{v_2}}d_1

d_2=0.573\sqrt{\frac{13.5}{5.83}}

d_2=0.87 m

d_2=0.87\time 100=87 cm

1 m=100 cm
