In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step

is 16.6 cm tall. It takes 5 minutes and 30 seconds for a person with a mass of 73.5 kg to walk all the way up. How much work did the person do?

Answer:

W = 16.4 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

There are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor.

Each step is 16.6 cm tall.

The mass of a person, m = 73.5 kg

We need to find the work done by the person. We know that,

Work done = Fd

Where

d is the displacement, d = 135 × 0.166 = 22.41

So,

W = 73.5 × 10 × 22.41

= 16471.35  J

or

W = 16.4 kJ

So, 16.4 kJ is the work done by the person.

__________ is the most important consideration in stopping a vehicle.
xxTIMURxx [149]
FRICTION is the most important consideration in stopping a vehicle. Stopping a vehicle involves three elements which are brake, tires and the surface with which the car is in contact. Frictional forces between the car tires and the surface contact when the brake is applied stop the car.

Annealing is a process by which steel is reheated and then cooled to make it less brittle. Consider the reheat stage for a 100-m
Anit [1.1K]

Complete question is;

Annealing is a process by which steel is reheated and then cooled to make it less brittle. Consider the reheat stage for a 100 mm thick plate (ρ = 7830 kg/m³, Cp = 550 J/Kg.K, k = 48 W/m K). The plate initially is at 200 °C and is to be heated to a minimum temperature of 550 °C. Heating is effected in a gas-fired furnace where the products of combustion at T∞ = 800 °C maintain a convection heat transfer coefficient of h = 250 W/m.K on both surfaces of the plate. How long should the plate be left in the furnace?

Answer:

860 seconds

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial Temperature; T_i = 200 °C

Minimum Temperature; T_o = 550 °C

T∞ = 800 °C

convection coefficient; h = 250 W/m².K

ρ = 7830 kg/m³

Cp = 550 J/kg K

k = 48 W/m K

Plate thickness = 100mm

Thus,L = 100/2 = 50mm = 0.05 m

Let's find the biot number from the formula;

Bi = hL/K

Bi = (250 × 0.05)/48

Bi = 0.2604

Now, lowest temperature in the slab is given as;

θ_o = (T_o - T∞)/(T_i - T∞)

θ_o = (550 - 800)/(200 - 800)

θ_o = 0.4167

Now, from online tables calculation, we can find the root of the biot number.

Thus, root of the biot number Bi = 0.2604 is;

ζ1 = 0.488 rad

Also, C1 is gotten as 1.0396

Now,formula for thermal diffusivity is;

α = k/ρc

α = 48/(7830 × 550)

α = 1.115 × 10^(-5) m²/s

Also, from online tables, f(ζ1) = 0.401

Thus, we can find the time the plate should the plate be left in the furnace from;

-(ζ1)²(αt/L²) = In 0.401

-(ζ1)²(αt/L²) = -0.9138

t = (-0.9138 × 0.05²)/-(0.488² × 1.115 × 10^(-5))

t ≈ 860 s

luda_lava [24]

The statement that is true regarding the objects is that object 1 had faster-moving particles, which is option 2. Details about matter can be found below.

<h3>What is matter?</h3>

Matter can be defined as any particle that has weight and occupies space.

Certain particles are present in the different states of matter. According to this question, when object 1 came into contact with object 2, object 2 got warmer.

This suggests that the particles in the object 1 is moving faster due to an increase in temperature.

The half-life of uranium-235 is 713 million years. Suppose a rock originally had 26 grams of uranium-235. A geologist had the ro
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

<h3>2139 Million years</h3>

Explanation:

Half life of a material is the time required for the material to decay into half of initial amount.

initially there is 26 grams of uranium-235, and the final amount is 3.25 gram

                 ratio between initial and final amount = \frac{26}{3.25}  = \frac{1}{8}

now it is clear that the material have halved 3 times from initial condition

number of half lives passed = 3

number of half lives passed can also be found using the equation

                no of half lives = log_{2} \frac{R_{0} }{R}

where R_{0} is the initial amount of material and R is the final amount

∵ Number of half lives = log_{2} \frac{26 }{3.25}

                                      = 3

So, age of rock = half-life X number of half-lives passed

                          =713000000 X 3

                          = 2139000000

                          =2139 Million Years
