Answer:

The total mechanical energy of the pizza crust is 19.2 J.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is that which a body or a system obtains as a result of the speed of its movement or its specific position, and which is capable of producing mechanical work. Then:

Potential energy + kinetic energy = total mechanical energy

Kinetic energy is a form of energy. It is defined as the energy associated with bodies that are in motion and this energy depends on the mass and speed of the body.

Kinetic energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a certain mass and in a position of rest, until it reaches a certain speed.

Kinetic energy is represented by the following formula:

Ec = ½ *m*v²

Where Ec is kinetic energy, which is measured in Joules (J), m is mass measured in kilograms (kg), and v is velocity measured in meters over seconds (m / s).

In this case:

  • m=0.547 kg
  • v= 5 m/s

Replacing:

Ec = ½ *0.547 kg*(5 m/s)²

and solving you get:

Ec= 6.8375 J

On the other hand, potential energy is the energy that measures the ability of a system to perform work based on its position. In other words, this is the energy that a body has at a certain height above the ground.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy associated with the gravitational force. This will depend on the relative height of an object to some reference point, the mass, and the force of gravity. Then for an object with mass m, at height h, the expression applied to the gravitational energy of the object is:

Ep = m*g*h

Where Ep is the potential energy in joules (J), m is the mass in kilograms (kg) is h the height in meters (m) and g is the acceleration of fall in m / s² (approximately 9.81 m/s²)

In this case:

  • m= 0.547 kg
  • g= 9.81 m/s²
  • h= 2.30 m

Replacing

Ep= 0.547 kg *9.81 m/s²* 2.30 m

and solving you get:

Ep= 12.342 J

So:

Total mechanical energy= 12.342 J + 6.8375 J

Total mechanical energy= 19.1795 J≅ 19.2 J

<u><em>The total mechanical energy of the pizza crust is 19.2 J.</em></u>

The voltage across the terminals of a 9.0 v battery is 8.5 v when the battery is connected to a 60 ω load. part a what is the ba
snow_lady [41]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

i = the current in the circuit., A
R₁ = the internal resistance of the battery, Ω
R₂ = the resistance of the 60 W load, Ω

Because the resistance across the battery is 8.5 V instead of 9.0 V, therefore
(R₁ )(i A) = 9 - 8.5 = (0.5 V)
R₁*i = 0.5         (10

Also,
R₂*i = 9.5         (2)

Because the power dissipated by R₂ is 60 W, therefore
i²R₂ = 60
From (2), obtain
i*9.5 = 60
i = 6.3158 A

From (1), obtain
6.3158*R₁ = 0.5
R₁ = 0.5/6.3158 = 0.0792 Ω = 0.08 Ω (nearest hundredth)

Answer: 0.08 Ω

Steam is to be condensed on the shell side of a heat exchanger at 150 oF. Cooling water enters the tubes at 60 oF at a rate of 4
zalisa [80]

Answer:

a. 572Btu/s

b.0.1483Btu/s.R

Explanation:

a.Assume a steady state operation, KE and PE are both neglected and fluids properties are constant.

From table A-3E, the specific heat of water is c_p=1.0\ Btu/lbm.F, and the steam properties as, A-4E:

h_{fg}=1007.8Btu/lbm, s_{fg}=1.6529Btu/lbm.R

Using the energy balance for the system:

\dot E_{in}-\dot E_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot E_{sys}=0\\\\\dot E_{in}=\dot E_{out}\\\\\dot Q_{in}+\dot m_{cw}h_1=\dot m_{cw}h_2\\\\\dot Q_{in}=\dot m_{cw}c_p(T_{out}-T_{in})\\\\\dot Q_{in}=44\times 1.0\times (73-60)=572\ Btu/s

Hence, the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger is 572Btu/s

b. Heat gained by the water is equal to the heat lost by the condensing steam.

-The rate of steam condensation is expressed as:

\dot m_{steam}=\frac{\dot Q}{h_{fg}}\\\\\dot m_{steam}=\frac{572}{1007.8}=0.5676lbm/s

Entropy generation in the heat exchanger could be defined using the entropy balance on the system:

\dot S_{in}-\dot S_{out}+\dot S_{gen}=\bigtriangleup \dot S_{sys}\\\\\dot m_1s_1+\dot m_3s_3-\dot m_2s_2-\dot m_4s_4+\dot S_{gen}=0\\\\\dot m_ws_1+\dot m_ss_3-\dot m_ws_2-\dot m_ss_4+\dot S_{gen}=0\\\\\dot S_{gen}=\dot m_w(s_2-s_1)+\dot m_s(s_4-s_3)\\\\\dot S_{gen}=\dot m c_p \ In(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-\dot m_ss_{fg}\\\\\\\dot S_{gen}=4.4\times 1.0\times \ In( {73+460)/(60+460)}-0.5676\times 1.6529\\\\=0.1483\ Btu/s.R

Hence,the rate of entropy generation in the heat exchanger. is 0.1483Btu/s.R

The speed of sound is measured to be 340 m/s on a certain day.
ziro4ka [17]
Answer: 1,224 km/h

Explanation:

To do this, we pick the first unit and convert
Picking m first and converting to km:
Since we're converting from a non-prefix to a prefix, we divide the value by the prefix were taking it to. In this case, kilo = 10³ which means we're going to divide our value by 1000 to convert it from m to km
340 m/s ÷ 1000 = 0.34 km/s
Now, let's convert our seconds to hour:
We'll need to calculate how many hours is equivalent to one second first;
1 hr = 60×60 seconds
X hr = 1 second
*Cross multiply*
1 × 1 = X × 60 × 60
1 = 3,600 X
X = 1 / 3,600
X = 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour
So, in the place of "1 Second", we're going to be inserting 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour instead
0.34 km / s = 0.34 km / 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour
(0.34 / 2.778×10⁻⁴) km/hour
1,224 km/h.
340 m/s = 1,224 km/h
