Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

As we know

Gravitational Constant (G) = 6.67*10^{11}

Mass of Earth (M) = 5.98*10^{24}

Weight of satellite (m) = 10,000 Kg

Radius of Earth (R) = 6.378*10^6

Distance of satellite from Earth = \frac{GMm}{R} - U

Substituting the given values, we get

D=\frac{(-((6.67*10^{11})(5.98*10^{24})(10000))}{(6.378*10^6)} - (-5.58*10^{11})\\\\0.625*10^{3}Km

or 635 m

The correct answer is option D

An insulated, vertical piston-cylinder device initially contains 10kg of water, 6kg of which is in the vapor phase. The mass of
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a)120C

b)29kg

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this exercise follow the steps below

1. we will call 1 the initial state, 2 the steam that enters and 3 the final state

2. We find the quality of the initial state, dividing the mass of steam by the total mass.

q1=\frac{6kg}{10kg} =0.6

3 Find the internal energy in the three states using thermodynamic tables

note:Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.  

u1=IntEnergy(Water;x=0,6(quality);P=200kPa) =1719KJ/kg

u2=IntEnergy(Water;t=350;P=5000kPa) =2808KJ/kg

u3=IntEnergy(Water;x=1;P=200kPa) =2529KJ/kg

4. use the internal energy and pressure to find the temperature in state 3, using thermodynamic tables

T3=Temperature(Water;P=200kPa;u=u3=2529KJ/kg)=120C

5. Use the first law of thermodynamics in the system, it states that the initial energy in a system must be equal to the final

m1u1+m2u2=(m1+m2)u3

where

m1=inital mass=10kg

m2=the mass of the steam that has entered.

solve for m2

(m1)(u1-u3)=(m2)(u3)-(m2)(u2)

m2=m1\frac{u1-u3}{u3-u2} =10\frac{1719-2529}{2529-2808} =29kg

A flat plate 1.5 m long and 1.0 m wide is towed in water at 20 o C in the direction of its length at a speed of 15 cm/s. Determi
beks73 [17]

Answer:

15.8

0.0944

Explanation:

L = 1.5

B = 1.0

Speed of water = 15cm

Temperature = 20⁰C

At 20⁰C

Specific weight = 9790

Kinematic viscosity v = 1.00x10^-4m²/s

Dynamic viscosity u = 1.00x10^-3

Density p = 998kg/m²

Reynolds number

= 0.15x1.5/1.00x10^-4

= 225000

S = 5

5x1.5/225000^1/2

= 0.0158

= 15.8mm

Resistance on one side of plate

F = 0.664x1x1.0x10^-3x0.15x225000^1/2

= 0.04724N

Total resistance

= 2N

= 2x0.04724

= 0.0944N

Getting the bottom of your feet burned when walking on hot sand is due to what form of energy transmission? group of answer choi
Scilla [17]

Getting the bottom of your feet burned when walking on hot sand is due to a form of energy transmission known as conduction.

<h3>The types of energy transmission.</h3>

In Science, there are three (3) main types of energy transmission and these include the following:

  • Convection
  • Radiation
  • Conduction

In this scenario, we can infer and logically conclude that burning the bottom of your feet when walking on hot sand is primarily due to a form of energy transmission known as conduction because it involves the transfer of thermal energy (heat) due to the movement of particles.

Determine the constant speed at which the cable at A must be drawn in by the motor in order to hoist the load 6 m in 1.5s
zlopas [31]

Answer:

4m/s

Explanation:

We know that power supplied by the motor should be equal to the rate at which energy is increased of the mass that is to be hoisted

Mathematically

Power_{motor} } =\frac{Energy }{time}\

We also know that Power = force x velocity      ..................(i)

The force supplied by the motor should be equal to the weight (mg) of the block since we lift the against a force equal to weight of load

=> power = mg x Velocity........(ii)

While hoisting the load at at constant speed only the potential energy of the mass increases

Thus Potential energy = Mass x g x H...................(iii)

where

g = accleration due to gravity (9.81m/s2)

H = Height to which the load is hoisted  

Equating equations (ii) and (iii) we get

m x g x v = \frac{mgh}{t}

thus we get v = H/t

Applying values we get

v = 6/1.5 = 4m/s
