Answer:

t = 4.58 s

Explanation:

In this problem, we need to find the time elapse between seeing lightning and hearing the thunder if the lightning strikes 1mi (5280 ft) away and the air temperature is 90.0°F.

T = 90.0°F = 32.2 °C

The speed of sound at temperature T is given by :

v = (331.3 +0.6T)

Put T = 32.2°C

So,

v = (331.3 +0.6(32.2))

= 350.62 m/s

We have, distance, d = 1 mile = 1609.34

So,

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=4.58\ s$

So, the required time is equal to 4.58 seconds.

If a 0.15 kg ball falls and has a KE of 20 J just before striking the ground, from what height did it fall. A. 1.36m B. 3m C. 13

RUDIKE [14]

According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell.

Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h

Which means KE = m·g·h

We can solve for h:

h = KE / m·g
= 20 / (0.15 · 9.8)
= 13.6m

The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.

A 8.2-V battery is connected in series with a 38-mH inductor, a 150-Î© resistor, and an open switch.A 8.2-V battery is connected

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

(A). The current in the circuit is 19.25 mA.

(B). The store energy in the inductor is 7.04 μJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 8.2 V

Inductor = 38 mH

Resistance = 150 Ω

Time t = 0.110 ms

The battery has negligible internal resistance, so that the total resistance in the circuit is 150 ohms. Then use this equation for current at time t in terms of inductance

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

$I(t)=\dfrac{V}{R}\times(1-e^{-t\times\dfrac{R}{L}})$

Put the value into the formula

$I(t)=\dfrac{8.2}{150}\times(1-e^{-0.110\times10^{-3}\times\dfrac{150}{38\times10^{-3}}})$

$I(t)=0.01925\ A$

$I(t) = 19.25\ mA$

(B). We need to calculate the store energy in the inductor

Using formula of energy

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times38\times10^{-3}\times(0.01925)^2$

$E=7.04\times10^{-6}\ J$

{tex]E=7.04\ \mu J[/tex]

Hence, (A). The current in the circuit is 19.25 mA.

(B). The store energy in the inductor is 7.04 μJ.

A rigid, insulated tank whose volume is 10 L is initially evacuated. A pinhole leak develops and air from the surroundings at 1

balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer is " $143.74^{\circ} \ C , 8.36\ g, and \ 2.77\ \frac{K}{J}$ "

Explanation:

For point a:

Energy balance equation:

$\frac{dU}{dt}= Q-Wm_ih_i-m_eh_e\\\\$

$W=0\\\\Q=0\\\\m_e=0$

From the above equation:

$\frac{dU}{dt}=0-0+m_ih_i-0\\\\\Delta U=\int^{2}_{1}m_ih_idt\\\\$

because the rate of air entering the tank that is $h_i$ constant.

$\Delta U = h_i \int^{2}_{1} m_i dt \\\\= h_i(m_2 -m_1)\\\\m_2u_2-m_1u_2=h_i(M_2-m_1)\\\\$

Since the tank was initially empty and the inlet is constant hence, $m_2u-0=h_1(m_2-0)\\\\m_2u_2=h_1m_2\\\\u_2=h_1\\\\$

Interpolate the enthalpy between $T = 300 \ K \ and\ T=295\ K$ . The surrounding air

temperature:

$T_1= 25^{\circ}\ C\ (298.15 \ K)\\\\\frac{h_{300 \ K}-h_{295\ K}}{300-295}= \frac{h_{300 \ K}-h_{1}}{300-295.15}$

Substituting the value from ideal gas:

$\frac{300.19-295.17}{300-295}=\frac{300.19-h_{i}}{300-298.15}\\\\h_i= 298.332 \ \frac{kJ}{kg}\\\\Now,\\\\h_i=u_2\\\\u_2=h_i=298.33\ \frac{kJ}{kg}$

Follow the ideal gas table.

The $u_2= 298.33\ \frac{kJ}{kg}$ and between temperature $T =410 \ K \ and\ T=240\ K.$

Interpolate

$\frac{420-410}{u_{240\ k} -u_{410\ k}}=\frac{420-T_2}{u_{420 k}-u_2}$

Substitute values from the table.

$\frac{420-410}{300.69-293.43}=\frac{420-T_2}{{u_{420 k}-u_2}}\\\\T_2=416.74\ K\\\\=143.74^{\circ} \ C\\\\$

For point b:

Consider the ideal gas equation. therefore, p is pressure, V is the volume, m is mass of gas. $\bar{R} \ is\ \frac{R}{M}$ (M is the molar mass of the gas that is $28.97 \ \frac{kg}{mol}$ and R is gas constant), and T is the temperature.

$n=\frac{pV}{TR}\\\\$

$=\frac{(1.01 \times 10^5 \ Pa) \times (10\ L) (\frac{10^{-3} \ m^3}{1\ L})}{(416.74 K) (\frac{8.314 \frac{J}{mol.k} }{2897\ \frac{kg}{mol})}}\\\\=8.36\ g\\\\$

For point c:

Entropy is given by the following formula:

$\Delta S = mC_v \In \frac{T_2}{T_1}\\\\=0.00836 \ kg \times 1.005 \times 10^{3} \In (\frac{416.74\ K}{298.15\ K})\\\\=2.77 \ \frac{J}{K}$

mario62 [17]

Answer:

$V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface.

Initial speed of body 1, m₁ = 1 m/s

Initial speed of body 2, m₂ = 2 m/s

They collide and stick.

We need to find the speed of the combined mass. Let V is the speed of the combined mass.

Using the conservation of momentum.

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=V(m_1+m_2)$

We have, m₁ = m₂ = m

$m\times 1+m\times 2=(m+m)V\\\\m+2m=2m\times V\\\\3m=2mV\\\\V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s$

So, the speed of the combined mass is $\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s$ .
