Serjik [45]

Due to the fact that no one can consume .04 of a tablet, we can round down this answer to 1. This means that Mr. Jones should take C- 1 tablet per day.

I hope I've helped! :)

The speed of sound in aluminum is 5200 m/s. Can you hear a sound with a

romanna [79]

Answer:

v = wavelength * frequency

frequency = 5200 m/s / .2 m = 26000 / sec

20,000 / sec is optimistic for the upper frequency of human hearing

So 26,000 is above the hearing range for human ears

Emily uses a rifle to shoot a bullet at a target. The bullet has a mass of 13 grams. The rifle has a mass of 3,500 grams. When s

sp2606 [1]

Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.

the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have

11.05 = 3.5 * a
acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 = 3.16 m /s^-2

rewona [7]

Answer:

$\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$

Explanation:

$\dot{m_1}= 0.5kg/s$

from steam tables , at 250 kPa, and at

T₁ = 80⁰C ⇒ h₁ = 335.02 kJ/kg

T₂ = 20⁰C⇒ h₂ = 83.915 kJ/kg

T₃ = 42⁰C ⇒ h₃ = 175.90 kJ/kg

we know

$\dot{m_{in}}=\dot{m_{out}}$

$\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}}=\dot{m_{3}}$

according to energy balance equation

$\dot{m_{in}}h_{in}=\dot{m_{out}}h_{out}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=\dot{m_{3}}h_{3}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=(\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}})h_{3}\\(0.5\times 335.02)+(\dot{m_{2}}\times 83.915)=(0.5+\dot{m_{2}})175.90\\\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$

A bullet with an initial kinetic energy of 400 J strikes a wooden block where a 8000 N resistive force stops the bullet. What is

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

d = 0.05 [m] = 50 [mm]

Explanation:

We must remember the principle of conservation of energy which tells us that energy is transformed from one way to another. For this case, the initial kinetic energy is transformed into useful work that is equal to the product of force by distance.

$E_{k}=F*d\\400 = 8000*d\\d = 0.05 [m] = 50 [mm]$
