Answer:

6.32m/s

Explanation:

note:Now these calculations are based in the fact that acc. due to gravity is 10m/s²

okay so I'm thinking you think the speed of a body depends on the mass of the body also,umh... well it doesn't at all!

when two bodies of different masses fall from the same height,they fall at the same time( this is just to say)

now enough of the talking let solve....

so the ball was dropped .ie from rest to the ground through a distance of 2m,

the formula for calculating the distance if a body moving in a straight line is given by:

S=ut + ½at² where u is initial velocity, a is acceleration ( of the body or due to gravity, but since its falling freely under the influence of gravity its " we use the acceleration due to gravity ,which is 10m/s²) and t is the time taken to cover the distance.

from our question the ball was dropped from rest thus its u is 0 therefore we use this equation to find the time it took to touch ground (S=½at²)

solving ....

we get t to be 0.632s

to find the speed we substitute t in the equation below:

V=u+at ,but since u=0

V=at =10•0.632=6.32m/s

therefore the speed the body uses to strike the ground is 6.32m/s

What radiation lies at frequencies just below the frequencies of visible light?

vlabodo [156]

Infrared radiation also called as infrared light was discovered by Sir William Herschel in 1800.It is an electronic magnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than those of a visible light.It involves waves rather than particles. It lies at frequencies just below the frequencies of visible light.

car was moving in a straight road of length 320 km it covered 240 km with an average velocity 75 km/hr then it ran out of fuel a

Stella [2.4K]

The average velocity of the car for the whole journey is 69.57 km/h.

The given parameters:

Length of the road, L = 320 km
Distance covered = 240 km at 75 km/h
time spent refueling, t₂ = 0.6 hr
Final velocity, = 100 km/hr

The time spent by the before refueling is calculated as follows;

$t = \frac{d}{v} \\\\t_1 = \frac{240}{75} \\\\t_1 = 3.2 \ hours$

The time spent by the car for the remaining journey;

$t_3 = \frac{320 - 240}{100} \\\\t_3 = 0.8 \ hr$

The total time of the journey is calculated as follows;

$t = t_1 + t_2 + t_3\\\\t = 3.2 \ hr \ + \ 0.6 \ hr \ + \ 0.8 \ hr\\\\t = 4.6 \ hours$

The average velocity of the car for the whole journey is calculated as follows;

$v = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time} \\\\v = \frac{320}{4.6} \\\\v = 69.57 \ km/h$

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: 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.

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.
