Explanation:

Suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, use tension force as the primary source of force that cables use to hold their spans up. The supporting cables receive the tension forces of the bridge, and this same force passes to the anchorages and into the ground

A reciprocating compressor is a device that compresses air by a back-and-forth straight-line motion, like a piston in a cylinder

QveST [7]

Answer:

$\Delta \theta = 47.57^{\circ} C$

Explanation:

given,

moles of air compressed, n = 1.70 mol

initial temperature, T₁ = 390 K

Power supply by the compressor, P = 7.5 kW

Heat removed = 1.3 kW

Angular frequency of the compressor, f = 110 rpm = 110/60 = 1.833 rps.

Time of compression = time of the hay revolution

= $\dfrac{1}{2}\ T$

= $\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{f}$

= $\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{1.833}$

=0.273 s

Using first law of thermodynamics

U = Q - W

now,

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}- \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}$

Power supplied $\dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}$ = 7.5 kW

heat removed $\dfrac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}$ = 1.3 kW

now,

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t} = 7.5 -1.3$

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t} = 6.2 kW$

we know,

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{nC_v\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}$

C_v for air = 5 cal/° mol

= 5 x 4.186 J/mol°C = 20.93 J/mol°C

now,

$\Delta \theta = \dfrac{\Delta U}{\Deta t}\times \dfrac{\Delta t}{n C_v}$

$\Delta \theta = 6.2\times 10^3 \times \dfrac{0.273}{1.7\times 20.93}$

$\Delta \theta = 47.57^{\circ} C$

the temperature change per compression stroke is equal to 47.57°C.

A force of 400-N pushes on a 25-kg box horizontally. The box accelerates at 9 m/s? Find the coefficient of kinetic friction betw

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the Newtons law of motion;

$\sum Fx = ma_x\\Fm - Ff = ma_x$

Fm is the moving force = 400N

Ff is the frictional force = μR

μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R is the reaction = mg

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

The equation becomes;

$Fm - \mu R = ma_x\\Fm - \mu mg = ma_x\\400- \mu (25)(9.8) = 25(9)\\400 - 254.8 \mu = 225\\- 254.8 \mu = 225 - 400\\- 254.8 \mu = -175\\ \mu = \frac{-175}{- 254.8} \\\mu = 0.69$

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and floor is 0.69

Please help me with physics homework I just need help with C and D. Picture is included

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

For C is B and for D is A

Explanation:

B because that's where the b car will do all the force to go up, and A because there the car doesn't have to do any force other than the natural, and it already brings that on it's own.
