What physics is involved for a passenger feeling pushed backward into the seat of an airplane when it accelerates along the runw
timofeeve [1]

It's due to Inertia. The law of Inertia states that a body will try to retain its movement state if possible. This means, if a body is at rest, it will try to remain at rest using forces. Similarly, if it's in movement, it will try to remain in movement.

In this example, the plane is moving forwards, and so do the seats, which in turn push the passenger forwards.The force felt is Inertia acting on the body, trying to counter the movement.

A 600W toaster, 1200W iron and a 100W bulb are all connected to household 120V circuit. a) find the current drawn by each applia
Advocard [28]

Answer:

(a) %a, 10 A, 0.833 A

(b) 12 ohm

(c) $22.8

Explanation:

Power of toaster, P1 = 600 W

Power of iron, P2 = 1200 W

Power of bulb, P3 = 100 W

V = 120 V

As they are in household circuit, so they are connected in parallel, so the voltage is same for all.

(a) Use the formula P = V x i

Current in toaster, i1 = P1 / V = 600 / 120 = 5 A

Current in iron, i2 = P2 / V = 1200 / 120 = 10 A

Current in bulb, i3 = P3 / V = 100 / 120 = 0.833 A

(b) Resistance of heating element of iron is R2.

V = i2 x R2

120 = 10 x R2

R2 = 12 ohm

(c) Total energy consumed in 24 hours for 5 days

                              = (600 + 1200 + 100) x 24 x 5 = 228000 Wh = 228 KWh

Cost of 1 KWh = $0.1

Cost of 228 KWh = 0.1 x 228 = $22.8

What is the circle of least confusion?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In optics, a CoC(Circle of Confusion) is defined the minimum cross section of a paraxial bundle of rays made by a lens which is sphero-cylindrical type and can be viewed as an optical spot, which do not converge perfectly at the focus  while a point source is being imaged due to spherical aberration.

The Circle of Confusion is also referred to as circle of indistinctness or a blur spot

Water vapor enters a turbine operating at steady state at 500°C, 40 bar, with a velocity of 200 m/s, and expands adiabatically t
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

W = 5701 KW

Explanation:

From the question let inlet be labelled as point 1 and exit as point 2, for the fluid steam, we can get the following;

Inlet (1): P1 = 40 bar ; T1 = 500°C and V1 = 200 m/s

Exit(2) : At saturated vapour; P2 = 0.8 bar and V2 = 150 m/s

Volumetric flow rate = 15 m^(3)/s

Now, to solve this question, we assume constant average values, steeady flow and adiabatic flow.

Specific volume for steam at P2 = 0.8 bar in the saturated vapour state can be gotten from saturated steam tables(find a sample of the table attached to this answer).

So from the table,

v2 = 2.087 m^(3)/kg

Now, mass flow rate (m) = (AV) /v

Where AV is the volumetric flow rate.

Thus, the mass flow rate at exit could be calculated as;

m = 15/(2.087) = 7.17 kg/s

We also know energy equation could be defined as;

Q-W = m[(h1 - h2) + {(V2(^2) - (V1(^2)} /2)} + g(Z2 - Z1)]

Since the flow is adiabatic, potential energy can be taken to be zero. Therefore, we get;

-W = m[(h2 - h1) + {(V2(^2) - (V1(^2)} /2)}

From, table 2, i attached , at P1 = 40 bar and T1 = 500°C; specific enthalpy was calculated to be h1 = 3445.3 KJ/Kg

Likewise, at P2 = 0.8 bar; from the table, we get specific enthalpy as;

h2 = 2665.8 KJ/Kg

So we now calculate power developed;

W = - 7.17 [(2665.8 - 3445.3) + {(150^(2) - 200^(2))/2000 = 5701KW

Since the sign is not negative but positive, it means that the power is developed from the system.
