An object moves along the x-axis. Its position is given by the equation y( X = 4t^2 - 41t+ 78 \). Find the position of the

The object changes direction when its velocity changes sign. You can get the velocity function by differentiating the position function with respect to time t :

x(t) = 4t ² - 41t + 78

→ v(t) = dx(t)/dt = 8t - 41

Solve v(t) = 0:

8t - 41 = 0

8t = 41

t = 41/8 = 5.125

Just to confirm that the velocity indeed changes sign:

• Pick any time before this one to check the sign of v :

v (0) = 8•0 - 41 = -41 < 0

• Pick any time after and check the sign again:

v (6) = 8•6 - 41 = 7 > 0

Now just find the position at this time:

x (5.125) = -433/16 = -27.0625

which means the object is 27.0625 units on the negative x-axis.

You can also do this without calculus by completing the square in the position function:

4t ² - 41t + 78 = 4 (t ² - 41/4 t ) + 78

… = 4 (t ² - 2• 41/8 t + (41/8)² - (41/8)²) + 78

… = 4 (t ² - 2• 41/8 t + (41/8)²) - 4•1681/64 + 78

… = 4 (t - 41/8)² - 433/16

which describes a parabola that opens upward. When t = 41/8 = 5.125, the quadratic term vanishes and the turning point of the parabola occurs at a position of -433/16 units.

Answer:

$\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$

Explanation:

$\dot{m_1}= 0.5kg/s$

from steam tables , at 250 kPa, and at

T₁ = 80⁰C ⇒ h₁ = 335.02 kJ/kg

T₂ = 20⁰C⇒ h₂ = 83.915 kJ/kg

T₃ = 42⁰C ⇒ h₃ = 175.90 kJ/kg

we know

$\dot{m_{in}}=\dot{m_{out}}$

$\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}}=\dot{m_{3}}$

according to energy balance equation

$\dot{m_{in}}h_{in}=\dot{m_{out}}h_{out}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=\dot{m_{3}}h_{3}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=(\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}})h_{3}\\(0.5\times 335.02)+(\dot{m_{2}}\times 83.915)=(0.5+\dot{m_{2}})175.90\\\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$

Differences between Light year and Cosmic year in two points

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

A cosmic year is 365.25 days, some times called a side real year and is just the time it takes for us to go round the sun once.

A light year is the distance light travels in a year. Now light travels at about 186,262 miles a Second! Which is not slow by any ones book.

An experiment was conducted just after Christmas a few years ago. Two girls were selected from the audience and went into two phone boxes a few feet apart. They could only hear each other via the phones. The phone call went to a ground station about 200 miles away, then up to a geostationary coms satellite, back to a ground station 1/3 of the way around the world, then repeated, with a third satellite before being sent from another ground station back to London and the other phone box. We the audience could hear both sides of the conversation from both boxes. And could hear the delay between sending and receiving. So even at the speed of light, there was about 1.5 seconds of delay. So because distances in space are so vast that saying a star is x millions of miles away causes problems, you run out of zero’s! So our nearest other star is about 4.5 light years away. Our sun (our nearest start) is about 8 light minuets away. Varies slightly as our orbit is not 100% cirular.

I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.
