Answer:

P = 12000 W

Explanation:

General data:

F = 15000 N
d = 40 m
t = 50 s
P = ?

Work is force times unit of distance. So in order to calculate the power we must first calculate the work.

Formula:

$\boxed{\bold{W=\frac{F}{d}}}$

Replace and solve

$\boxed{\bold{W=\frac{15000\ N}{40\ m}}}$

$\boxed{\bold{W=600000\ J}}$

once the work is found, we proceed to find the power according to the formula:

$\boxed{\bold{P=\frac{W}{t}}}$

$\boxed{\bold{P=\frac{600000\ J}{50\ s}}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{P=12000\ W}}}$

The power of the crane is <u>12000 Watts.</u>

Consider a 20 cm thick granite wall with a thermal conductivity of 2.79 W/m·K. The temperature of the left surface is held const

kozerog [31]

Answer:

The right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

Explanation:

Thickness of the wall is L= 20cm = 0.2m

Thermal conductivity of the wall is K = 2.79 W/m·K

Temperature at the left side surface is T₁ = 50°C

Temperature of the air is T = 22°C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is h = 15 W/m2·K

Heat conduction process through wall is equal to the heat convection process so

$Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}$

Expression for the heat conduction process is

$Q_{conduction} = \frac{K(T_1 - T)}{L}$

Expression for the heat convection process is

$Q_{convection} = h(T_2 - T)$

Substitute the expressions of conduction and convection in equation above

$Q_{conduction} = Q_{convection}$

$\frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L} = h(T_2 - T)$

Substitute the values in above equation

$\frac{2.79(50- T_2)}{0.2} = 15(T_2 - 22)\\\\T_2 = 35.5^\circC$

Now heat flux through the wall can be calculated as

$q_{flux} = Q_{conduction} \\\\q_{flux} = \frac{K(T_1 - T_2)}{L}\\\\q_{flux} = \frac{2.79(50 - 35.5)}{0.2}\\\\q_{flux} = 202.3W/m^2$

Thus, the right wall surface temperature and heat flux through the wall is 35.5°C and 202.3W/m²

A batter hits a 0.140-kg baseball that was approaching him at 19.5 m/s and, as a result, the ball leaves the bat at 44.8 m/s in

Arada [10]

Answer:

5295.3 N

Explanation:

According to law of momentum conservation, the change in momentum of the ball shall be from the momentum generated by the batter force

mv + P = mV

P = mV - mv = m(V - v)

Since the velocity of the ball before and after is in opposite direction, one of them is negative

P = 0.14(44.8 - (-19.5)) = 9 kg m/s

Hence the force exerted to generate such momentum within 1.7ms (0.0017s) is

F = P/t = 9/0.0017 = 5295.3 N
