Answer:

80 N

Explanation:

mass (m) = 20kg

acceleration (a) = 4m/s^2

Force (F) = ?

.°. F = ma

= 20 × 4 = 80

.°. F = 80 N

Thus, The Force is needed to accelerate a 20 kg mass at a rate of 4 m/s^2 is 80 N

(8 points) Air is used as the working fluid in a simple ideal Brayton cycle that has a pressure ratio of 12, a compressor inlet

trapecia [35]

Answer:

a ) $\dot m = 351.49 kg/s$

b) $\dot m_{actual} = 1046.15 kg/s$

Explanation:

given data:

pressure ration rp = 12

inlet temperature = 300 K

TURBINE inlet temperature = 1000 K

AT the end of isentropic process (compression) temperature is

$\frac{T_2'}{T_1} = rp ^{\frac{\gamma -1}{\gamma}}$

$\frac{T_2'}{300} = 12^{\frac{1.4 -1}{1.4}}$

$T_2' = 610.181 K$

AT the end of isentropic process (expansion) temperature is

$\frac{T_3}{T_4'} = rp ^{\frac{\gamma -1}{\gamma}}$

$\frac{1000'}{T_4'} = 12^{\frac{1.4 -1}{1.4}}$

$T_4' = 491.66 K$

isentropic work is given as

$w(compressor) = CP (T_2' -T_1)$

w = 1.005(610.18 - 300)

w = 311.73 kJ/kg

w(turbine) = 1.005( 1000 - 491.66)

w(turbine) = 510.88 kJ/kg

a) mass flow rate for isentropic process is given as

$\dot m = \frac{70000}{510.88 - 311.73}$

$\dot m = 351.49 kg/s$

b) actual mass flow rate uis given as

$\dot m_{actual} = \frac{70000}{51.088\times 0.85 - \frac{311.73}{0.85}}$

$\dot m_{actual} = 1046.15 kg/s$

A kid on a playground swing makes a complete to-and-fro swing each 2 seconds.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

The frequency of the swing: 1/2 Hertz

The period is: 2 Seconds

Explanation:

The time the kid takes to make a complete to-and-fro swing = 2 seconds

The period, T, is the time it takes to make one complete cycle of an oscillatory motion, therefore, we have;

The frequency, f, is the number of cycles completed each second, therefore, we have;

The time for 1 cycle = 2 seconds

2 seconds = 1 cycle

Dividing both sides by 2 gives;

2/2 seconds = 1/2 cycles

2/2 = 1

In 2/2 = 1 seconds The number of cycles completed = 1/2 cycles

Therefore, the number of cycles completed per (one) second = 1/2 cycles

Therefore the frequency of the swing, f = 1/2 cycle/seconds = 1/2 Hertz

The period, T, is the time it takes to complete one to-and-fro swing which is one cycle which is 2 seconds

Therefore, the period is 2 Seconds.

Explain how thermal energy (temperature) affects chemical changes.

Monica [59]

If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. During conversions from chemical energy to thermal energy, the energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and this energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster thus increasing the thermal energy of a substance.

A crow is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 2.70 m/s when it releases a clam from its beak. the clam lands on the roc

vovangra [49]

Part a)

in horizontal direction there is no gravity or no other acceleration

so in horizontal direction the speed of clam will remain same

$v_x = 2.70 m/s$
