Transverse thrusters are used to make large ships fully maneuverable at low speeds without tugboat assistance. A transverse thru

ster consists of a propeller mounted in a duct; the unit is then mounted below the waterline in the bow or stern of the ship. The duct runs completely across the ship. Calculate the thrust developed by a 1900 kW unit supplied to the propeller if the duct is 2.6 m in diameter and the ship is stationary.

Answer:

Thrust developed = 212.3373 kN

Explanation:

Assuming the ship is stationary

<u>Determine the Thrust developed</u>

power supplied to the propeller ( Punit ) = 1900 KW

Duct distance ( diameter ; D  ) = 2.6 m

first step : <em>calculate the area of the duct </em>

A = π/4 * D^2

   =  π/4 * ( 2.6)^2  = 5.3092 m^2

<em>next : calculate the velocity of propeller</em>

Punit = (A*v*β ) / 2  * V^2     ( assuming β = 999 kg/m^3 ) also given V1 = 0

∴V^3 = Punit * 2 / A*β

         = ( 1900 * 10^3 * 2 ) / ( 5.3092 * 999 )

hence V2 = 8.9480 m/s

<em>Finally determine the thrust developed </em>

F = Punit / V2

  = (1900 * 10^3) / ( 8.9480)

  = 212.3373 kN

Aliun [14]

From the calculation, the acceleration of the body is 26m/s^2.

<h3>What is motion under gravity?</h3>

When an object is thrown up or down, the motion of the body is influenced by the gravitational pull on the body.

Now;

Given that;

v = 39 m/s

t = 1.5 s

u = 0 m/s

a = ?

v = u + at

v = at

a = v/t

a = 39 m/s/1.5 s

a = 26m/s^2

A stone of mass 250 g is located at a height of 20 m calculate the potential energy of the stone?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

50J

Explanation:

Potential energy = mass (kg) * gravitational accelerations (10N on earth) * height

250 g in kg = 0.25

0.25 * 10 * 20 = 50 J

A student is leaving the lesson and walking to Maths at a speed of 1m/s. He notices that he is late for the lesson and speeds up
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 1m/s

Final velocity, v = 3m/s

Time, t = 4 seconds

To find acceleration;

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

a = \frac{v  -  u}{t}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Acceleration = (3 - 1)/4

Acceleration = 2/4

Acceleration = 0.5 m/s²
