Answer:

t = 180 / 1.4 = 129 sec   (time to swim horizontally across river)

S = 129 sec * V     where V is speed of current and S is the distance he will be carried downstream

The problem does not specify V the speed of the river

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

a) the distance(D) showing how dar downstream he will land can be computed as follows:

Assuming the current of the river = 0.2 m/s

D = \dfrac{180 \ m \times 0.2 \ m/s}{1.4 \ m/s}

D = 36 m ÷ 1.4

D = 25.71 m

The required time (t) to reach the other side is:

time (t) = 180 m/ 1.4 m/s

time (t) = 128.57 seconds

How much heat must be removed from 200 pounds of blanched vegetables at 189 degrees F to freeze them to a temperature of 22 degr
Virty [35]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to heat exchange in the vegetable and water.

By definition the exchange of heat is given by

Q =mc\Delta T

where,

m = mass

c = specific heat

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Therefore the total heat exchange is given as

\Delta Q = Q_w+Q_v

\Delta Q = m_wc_w(T_i-T_f)+m_vc_v(T_i-T_f)

Our values are given as,

Total mass is M_T = 200lb ,however the mass of solid vegetable and water is given as,

m_v= 0.4*200lb = 80lb

m_w=0.6*200lb=120lb

T_i = 183\°F\\T_f = 22\°F\\c_w = 1Btu/lbF\\c_v = 0.24Btu/lbF

Replacing at our equation we have,

\Delta Q = m_wc_w(T_i-T_f)+m_vc_v(T_i-T_f)

\Delta Q = (120)(1)(183-22)+(80)(0.24)(183-22)

\Delta Q = 22411.2Btu

Therefore the heat removed is 22411.2 Btu

The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a solid sphere of diameter 2D of the same metal from 4°C to 7°C
aniked [119]

The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a solid sphere of diameter 2D of the same metal from 4°C to 7°C is is 8 times the initial amount of heat.

<h3>What is heat?</h3>

The temperature increment will lead to the increase in the internal energy of the object. This internal energy is the heat.

Given is the change in  temperature ΔT = 7-4 =3°C., diameter D to 2D,

Q = Cp x  ρ(4π/3)D³ x 3..................(1)

and Q' = Cp x  ρ(4π/3)(2D)³ x 3

Q' = Cp x  ρ(4π/3)8D³x 3..................(2)

Dividing both the equation, we have

Q' / Q =8

Q' = 8Q

Thus, the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a solid sphere of diameter 2D of the same metal from 4°C to 7°C is 8 times the initial amount of heat.

What is the car’s average velocity (in m/s) in interval between t=1.0s to t=1.5s?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the formula for velocity is;

Velocity (in m/s) = distance/time

The distance the car covered in the completed question is divided by the difference in the time interval

The difference in the time interval will be = 1.5s - 1.0s = 0.5s

NOTE: the distance must be in meters or be converted to meters
