Birds mostly fly in a V because the lead bird cuts al of the wind and has the hardest work and then after a while the lead bird goes to the back and another bird takes his place cutting all the wind for the other birds

In order to lift a lighter object on the other side, a boy placed 155 N of
const2013 [10]

Answer:

0.58 m

Explanation:

In order to find the vertical distance the load lifts, we first need to find the magnitude of the resistance force. So, Rd = Fd' where R = resistance force = ?, d = resistance distance = 3.5 m, F = effort force = 155 N and d' = effort distance = 1.5 m.

So R = Fd'/d = 155 N × 1.5 m/3.5 m = 232.5 Nm/3.5 m = 66.43 N  

Now, the vertical work done by the effort = vertical work done by load

Fy = Ry' where y = vertical distance moved by effort = 0.25 m and y' = vertical distance moved by resistance force

So, Fy = Ry'

y' = Fy/R

= 155 N 0.25 m/66.43 N

= 38.75 Nm/66.43 N

= 0.58 m

So, the vertical distance the lighter object moves is y' = 0.58 m

All of these are true about a magnesium part EXCEPT that it:
d1i1m1o1n [39]

The option that is an exception about the properties of magnesium is the option;

<u>Is typically made from </u><u>stampings</u>

The reason why the option is an exception is given as follows:

  • Magnesium is a nonferrous metal as it is usually combined with manganese, zinc and aluminum.

  • Within the group of structural metals, magnesium is the lightest, having  a high strength-to-weight ratio.

  • Magnesium posses good dampening characteristics, and is capable of reducing vibration of mechanical parts.

<em />

<em>However</em>

  • Magnesium parts used for vehicle construction are die cast, and not made from stampings because magnesium is more difficult to stamp compared to aluminum.

Therefore, the correct option for the statement that is an exception from the true statements about magnesium is magnesium; <u>is typically made from stampings</u>

Determine the total condensation rate of water vapor onto the front surface of a vertical plate that is 10 mm high and 1 m in th
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Q =  63,827.5 W

Explanation:

Given:-

- The dimensions of plate A = ( 10 mm x 1 m )

- The fluid comes at T_sat , 1 atm.

- The surface temperature, T_s = 75°C  

Find:-

Determine the total condensation rate of water vapor onto the front surface of a vertical plate

Solution:-

- Assuming drop-wise condensation the heat transfer coefficient for water is given by Griffith's empirical relation for T_sat = 100°C.

                            h = 255,310 W /m^2.K

- The rate of condensation (Q) is given by Newton's cooling law:

                           Q = h*As*( T_sat - Ts )

                           Q = (255,310)*( 0.01*1)*( 100 - 75 )

                           Q =  63,827.5 W

The tropics receive more heat from the sun than is radiated away from the tropics, and polar regions radiate more than they rece
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

It is a well known fact that the earth rotates around the sun in an inclined axis which is approximately 23 degree. The inclined nature of earth axis causes variation in the solar heat received at any place on the earth surface. The hemisphere facing the sun due to this axial tilt, gets higher sun energy as compared to the opposite side. The hemisphere which faces the sun will experience summer whereas the hemisphere away from sun will experience winter.

In each of the hemisphere the polar areas will receive higher radiation and longer daytime during the summer season. However it has been observed that there is difference in radiation received at different areas of earth surface and radiated. The tropical areas have lower reflectance and thus a large part of incoming solar radiation have been absorbed along the tropics. The poles though have longer daytime during summer and hence greater solar radiation but due to high reflectance radiate more energy. Thus the tropical areas have surplus energy as compared to deficit energy areas of poles. This difference in energy creates a heat imbalance.

This net heat difference between poles and equator gives rise to a global circulation system leading to flow of heat from the net energy excess areas to deficit areas. This circulation takes place through atmosphere as well as oceans and different process of climate viz. evaporation, transpiration, rainfall, wind, convection, oceanic circulations etc work as tools of this system

2. One of the many methods used for drying air is to cool the air below the dew point so that condensation or freezing of the mo
REY [17]

Answer:

0.5°c

Explanation:

Humidity ratio by mass can be expressed as

the ratio between the actual mass of water vapor present in moist air - to the mass of the dry air

Humidity ratio is normally expressed in kilograms (or pounds) of water vapor per kilogram (or pound) of dry air.

Humidity ratio expressed by mass:

x = mw / ma                                  (1)

where

x = humidity ratio (kgwater/kgdry_air, lbwater/lbdry_air)

mw = mass of water vapor (kg, lb)

ma = mass of dry air (kg, lb)

It can be as:

x = 0.005 (100) / [(100 - 100)]

x = 0.005 x 100 / (100 - 100)

x = 0.005 x 100 / 0

x = 0.5°c

So the temperature to which atmospheric air must be cooled in order to have humidity ratio of 0.005 lb/lb is 0.5°c
