Answer:

12.495m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement is the range of the projectile motion.

The range is expressed as;

R = 2U/g

U is the speed at which the rock is thrown (initial speed)

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given

R = 255cm = 2.55m

g = 9.8m/s²

Required

Speed U

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

2.55 = 2U/9.8

Cross multiply

2U = 2.55×9.8

2U = 24.99

U = 24.99/2

U = 12.495m/s

Hence the speed that you thew the rock is 12.495m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

Dear Student, this question is incomplete, and to attempt this question, we have attached the complete copy of the question in the image below. Please, Kindly refer to it when going through the solution to the question.

To objective is to find the:

(i) required heat exchanger area.

(ii) flow rate to be maintained in the evaporator.

Given that:

water temperature = 300 K

At a reasonable depth, the water is cold and its temperature = 280 K

The power output W = 2 MW

Efficiency \zeta = 3%

where;

\zeta = \dfrac{W_{out}}{Q_{supplied }}

Q_{supplied } = \dfrac{2}{0.03} \ MW

Q_{supplied } = 66.66 \ MW

However, from the evaporator, the heat transfer Q can be determined by using the formula:

Q = UA(L MTD)

where;

LMTD = \dfrac{\Delta T_1 - \Delta T_2}{In (\dfrac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2} )}

Also;

\Delta T_1 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 300 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 10 \ K

\Delta T_2 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 292 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 2\ K

LMTD = \dfrac{10 -2}{In (\dfrac{10}{2} )}

LMTD = \dfrac{8}{In (5)}

LMTD = 4.97

Thus, the required heat exchanger area A is calculated by using the formula:

Q_H = UA (LMTD)

where;

U = overall heat coefficient given as 1200 W/m².K

66.667 \times 10^6 = 1200 \times A \times 4.97 \\ \\  A= \dfrac{66.667 \times 10^6}{1200 \times 4.97} \\ \\  \mathbf{A = 11178.236 \ m^2}

The mass flow rate:

Q_{H} = mC_p(T_{in} -T_{out} )  \\ \\  66.667 \times 10^6= m \times 4.18 (300 -292) \\ \\ m = \dfrac{  66.667 \times 10^6}{4.18 \times 8} \\ \\  \mathbf{m = 1993630.383 \ kg/s}

2) If the initial velocity of an object is equal to a final velocity, what is the acceleration of the object?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The acceleration is 0.

Explanation:

The formula for acceleration is:

a = (v-u)/t

If v and u are equal, thus it would be 0 when subtracted, and anything divided by 0 is 0.

Which example is NOT a part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Electricity is NOT a part of electromagnetic spectrum.

An electromagnetic spectrum contains electromagnetic radiations arranged according to frequencies and wavelength.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Electromagnetic waves  </h3>
  • Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
  • These waves are mostly transverse in nature, which means the direction of transmission is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of particles.
  • They include, light waves, radio waves, x-rays, infra-red, etc.
<h3>Electromagnetic spectrum </h3>
  • An electromagnetic wave shows electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequencies and wavelength.  
  • Electromagnetic spectrum contains electromagnetic waves: Gamma rays, x-rays, Ultraviolet, Visible light, infra-red, microwaves, and radio waves.
  • The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into various sections based on wavelength, with gamma rays having the shortest wavelength and radio waves having the longest wavelength.
  • The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see using our naked eyes is called the visible light spectrum.
  • In order of frequency, the radio waves have the lowest frequency while gamma rays have the largest frequency.
<h3>General characteristics of electromagnetic waves  </h3>
  • They travel with the speed of light (3.0 x 10^8 m/s)
  • They possess energy that is given by; E =hf, where h is the plank’s constant and f is the frequency.
  • They are transverse in nature, and therefore, the wavelength is measured between successful crests or troughs.
  • They can travel through vacuum

Keywords: Electromagnetic spectrum, electromagnetic waves.

Complete Question

The table below shows different items that are found sitting on the counter in a kitchen. The temperature of the kitchen is 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Classify the objects according to whether their molecules will speed up or slow down after being left in the kitchen for a period of time.

Drag the objects to the correct category.

Object Temperature (Fahrenheit)

ice cubes 26°F

glass of tea 60°F

cooked piece of meat 160°F

butter 55°F

pot of water 75°F

bowl of soup 140°F

Answer:

Molecules that would speed up

ice cubes 26°F

glass of tea 60°F

butter 55°F

Molecules that would slow down

cooked piece of meat 160°F

pot of water 75°F

bowl of soup 140°F

Explanation:

Molecules that are found or contained in a substances have the tendency to react in such as what that they are are sped up or slowed down. This is due to their exposure to various kinds of changes in temperature, which could be a hot temperature , cold temperature e.t.c

When a substance is exposed to a hot temperature, the molecules of that substance speed up depending on how hot the temperature is while when a substance is cooled down or exposed to cold temperature, the molecules tend to slow down.

In the question above, the temperature of the kitchen is 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

Molecules that would speed up after been left in the Kitchen for a while:

a) Ice cubes 26°F: This is because 72°F is a warm took temperature, so the ice cubes would melt causing the molecules to speed up.

b)Glass of tea 60°F: This glass of tea is at a cool temperature of 60°F, when it is kept in the Kitchen which has a temperature of 72°F for while, the temperature of the glass of tea would increase due to an increase in its rate of reaction causing the molecules of the glass of water to speed up.

c) Butter 55°F: This is because 72°F is a warm temperature, so the butter would melt, increasing its rate of reaction and causing the molecules to speed up

Molecules that would slow down

a) Cooked piece of meat 160°F : 160°F is a very hot temperature and when it is left in a the Kitchen(72°F) , the cooked meat would begin to cool down and drop in temperature from 160°F, causing the molecules to slow down.

b) Pot of water 75°F: The temperature of the kitchen and the temperature of the pot of water is the same, hence the molecules of the water would slow down.

c) Bowl of soup 140°F : This bowl of soup is very hot and when it is left in the Kitchen(72°F) , the bowl of soup would begin to cool down and drop in temperature from 140°F, slowing down the rate of reaction and causing the molecules to slow down.
