What other ways could a wildfire be contained, extinguished, or slowed down?

Back burning, starting fires infront of the main fire to prevent the fire from spreading and depleting fuel for the fire, digging trenches so the fire has no where to go, dropping water from planes or helicopters.

The 15-kg block A slides on the surface for which µk = 0.3. The block has a velocity v = 10 m/s when it is s = 4 m from the 10-k

sammy [17]

Answer:

s_max = 0.8394m

Explanation:

From equilibrium of block, N = W = mg

Frictional force = μ_k•N = μ_k•mg

Since μ_k = 0.3,then F = 0.3mg

To determine the velocity of Block A just before collision, let's apply the principle of work and energy;

T1 + ΣU_1-2 = T2

So, (1/2)m_a•(v_ao)² - F•s =(1/2)m_a•(v_a1)²

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

(1/2)•(15)•(10)² - (0.3•15•9.81•4) =(1/2)(15)•(v_a1)²

750 - 176.58 = 7.5(v_a1)²

v_a1 = 8.744 m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum;

Σ(m1v1) = Σ(m2v2)

Thus,

m_a•v_a1 + m_b•v_b1 = m_a•v_a2 + m_b•v_b2

Thus;

15(8.744) + 10(0) = 15(v_a2) + 10(v_b2)

Divide through by 5;

3(8.744) + 2(0) = 3(v_a2) + 2(v_b2)

Thus,

3(v_a2) + 2(v_b2) = 26.232 - - - (eq1)

Coefficient of restitution has a formula;

e = (v_b2 - v_a2)/(v_a1 - v_b1)

From the question, e = 0.6.

Thus;

0.6 = (v_b2 - v_a2)/(8.744 - 0)

0.6 x 8.744 = (v_b2 - v_a2)

(v_b2 - v_a2) = 5.246 - - - (eq2)

Solving eq(1) and 2 simultaneously, we have;

v_b2 = 8.394 m/s

v_a2 = 3.148 m/s

Now, to find maximum compression, let's apply conservation of energy on block B;

T1 + V1 = T2 + V2

Thus,

(1/2)m_b•(v_b2)² + (1/2)k(s_1)² = (1/2)m_b•(v_b'2)² + (1/2)k(s_max)²

(1/2)10•(8.394)² + (1/2)1000(0)² = (1/2)10•(0)² + (1/2)(1000)(s_max)²

500(s_max)² = 352.29618

(s_max)² = 352.29618/500

(s_max)² = 0.7046

s_max = 0.8394m

The electric motor exerts a torque of 800 N·m on the steel shaft ABCD when it is rotating at a constant speed. Design specificat

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

d= 4.079m ≈ 4.1m

Explanation:

calculate the shaft diameter from the torque, \frac{τ}{r} = \frac{T}{J} = \frac{C . ∅}{l}

Where, τ = Torsional stress induced at the outer surface of the shaft (Maximum Shear stress).

r = Radius of the shaft.

T = Twisting Moment or Torque.

J = Polar moment of inertia.

C = Modulus of rigidity for the shaft material.

l = Length of the shaft.

θ = Angle of twist in radians on a length.

Maximum Torque, ζ= τ × \frac{ π}{16} × d³

τ= 60 MPa

ζ= 800 N·m

800 = 60 × \frac{ π}{16} × d³

800= 11.78 × d³

d³= 800 ÷ 11.78

d³= 67.9

d= \sqrt[3]{} 67.9

d= 4.079m ≈ 4.1m

Discuss the differences between conduction and convective heat transfer.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Basically there are two principal differences between the convection and conduction heat transfer

Explanation:

The conduction heat transfer is referred to the transfer between two solids due a temperature difference, while for, the convective heat transfer is referred to the transfer between a fluid (liquid or gas) and a solid. Also, they used different coefficients for its calculation.

We can include on the explanation that conduction thermal transfer is due to temperature difference, while convection thermal transfer is due to density difference.
