Answer:

You input potential (stored) energy into the rubber band system when you stretched the rubber band back. Because it is an elastic system, this kind of potential energy is specifically called elastic potential energy. ... When the rubber band is released, the potential energy is quickly converted to kinetic (motion) energy.

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.

Determine the power that needs to besupplied by the fanifthe desired velocity is 0.05 m3/s and the cross-sectional area is 20 cm

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A fan with an energy efficiency of 30 % would need 62.5 watts to bring a desired volume flow of 0.05 cubic meters per second through a cross-sectional area of 20 square centimeters.

Explanation:

Complete statement is: <em>Determine the power that needs to besupplied by the fan if the desired velocity is 0.05 cubic meters per second and the cross-sectional area is 20 square centimeters.</em>

From Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics we know that fans are devices that work at steady state which accelerate gases (i.e. air) with no changes in pressure. In this case, mechanical rotation energy is transformed into kinetic energy. If we include losses due to mechanical friction, the Principle of Energy Conservation presents the following equation:

$\eta\cdot \dot W = \dot K$

$\dot W = \frac{\dot K}{\eta}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\eta$ - Efficiency of fan, dimensionless.

$\dot W$ - Electric power supplied fan, measured in watts.

$\dot K$ - Rate of change of kinetic energy of air in time, measured in watts.

From definition of kinetic energy, the equation above is now expanded:

$\dot W = \frac{\rho_{a}\cdot \dot V}{2\cdot \eta}\cdot \left(\frac{\dot V}{A_{s}} \right)^{2}$ (Eq. 2)

Where:

$\rho_{a}$ - Density of air, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\dot V$ - Volume flow, measured in cubic meters per second.

$A_{s}$ - Cross-sectional area of fan, measured in square meters.

If we know that $\rho_{a} = 1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $\dot V = 0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}$ , $\eta = 0.3$ and $A_{s} = 20\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}$ , the power needed to be supplied by the fan is:

$\dot K = \left[\frac{\left(1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} \right)}{2\cdot (0.3)} \right]\cdot \left(\frac{0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} }{20\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}} \right)^{2}$

$\dot K = 62.5\,W$

A fan with an energy efficiency of 30 % would need 62.5 watts to bring a desired volume flow of 0.05 cubic meters per second through a cross-sectional area of 20 square centimeters.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

When iron rusts - in the presence of moisture and oxygen - iron-oxide is formed. Iron oxide is nothing but a compound of iron and oxygen. There is an increase in the mass of the iron equal to the mass of oxygen that has gone into forming the rust.
