Sitting in a chairlift, Rebecca has a gravitational potential energy of 5,997.6

stira [4]

Answer:

B) 12 m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is:

PE = mgh

Given PE = 5997.6 J, and m = 51 kg:

5997.6 J = (51 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 12 m

Question 4 How much time does it take to walk 8 km north at a velocity of 3.8 km/h?

IrinaVladis [17]

Given parameters:

Displacement = 8km

Velocity = 3.8km/h

Unknown:

time = ?

Solution:

Velocity is displacement divided by time.

Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time}$

Displacement = velocity x time

Input the parameters:

8 = 3.8 x time

Time = $\frac{8}{3.8}$ = 2.1s

The time taken is 2.1s

Steam enters a one-inlet, two-exit control volume at location (1) at 360°C, 100 bar, with a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The inlet

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The inlet velocity is 21.9 m/s.

The mass flow rate at reach exit is 1.7 kg/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass flow rate = 2 kg/s

Diameter of inlet pipe = 5.2 cm

Fifteen percent of the flow leaves through location (2) and the remainder leaves at (3)

The mass flow rate is

$m_{2}=0.15\times2$

We need to calculate the mass flow rate at reach exit

Using formula of mass

$m_{3}=m_{1}-m_{2}$

$m_{3}=2-0.15\times2$

$m_{3}=1.7\ kg/s$

We need to calculate the inlet velocity

Using formula of velocity

$v=\dfrac{m}{\rho A}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{2}{42.868\times\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times(5.2\times10^{-2})^2}$

$v=21.9\ m/s$

Hence, The inlet velocity is 21.9 m/s.

The mass flow rate at reach exit is 1.7 kg/s.

What is physical change ?

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A physical change is a change to the physical—as opposed to chemical—properties of a substance. They are usually reversible. The physical properties of a substance include such characteristics as shape (volume and size), color, texture, flexibility, density, and mass.

As an object sinks in a fluid, the buoyant force ____.

kiruha [24]

Beginning when the bottom of the object first touches the water,
and as it descends and more and more of it goes under, the
buoyant force on it increases during that time.

As soon as the object is completely underwater, it doesn't matter
how deep under it is, the buoyant force on it remains the same.
