A pickup truck is traveling down the highway at a steady speed of 30.1 m/s. The truck has a drag coefficient of 0.45 and a cross

-sectional area of the truck is 3.3 m2. Assume the density of the air is 1.2 kg/m 3. How much energy does the truck lose to air resistance per hour? Give your answer in units of MJ (megajoules).

Answer:

The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by

F_D=\frac{1}{2}\rhoC_dAV^2

Our values are:

V=30.1m/s

C_d=0.45

A=3.3m^2

\rho=1.2kg/m^3

Replacing,

F_D=\frac{1}{2}(1.2)(0.45)(3.3)(30.1)^2

F_D=807.25N

We need calculate now the energy lost through a time T, then,

W = F_D d

But we know that d is equal to

d=vt

Where

v is the velocity and t the time. However the time is given in seconds but for this problem we need the time in hours, so,

W=(807.25N)(30.1m/s)(3600s/1hr)

W=87.47*10^6J (per hour)

Therefore the energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ

A position vector in the first quadrant has an x-component of 18 m and a magnitude of 30 m. What is the value of its y-component
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The value is 24meters

Explanation:

Using

r= xi+yj

To get the magnitude of vector x

We say

/r/= √x²+y²

So

30²= √18² + y²

y= √576

Y= 24m

A car starts moving from the position of rest with uniform acceleration of 8m/s^calculate the distance travelled by it during 10
ad-work [718]

We calculate the coordinates at t₁ = 9 min and t₂ = 10 min, since the 10th minute is between t₁ and t₂.

As it leaves from rest, it means that the initial speed is zero


t₁=9 min=540 s

t₂=10 min=600 s

x₁=at₁²/2=8*540²/2=4*291600=1166400 m

x₂=at₂²/2=8*600²/2=4*360000=1440000 m

Δx=x₂-x₁=1440000-1166400=273600 m represents the distance traveled by the car in the 10th minute of travel

Given that a pipe having a diameter of 1.5 feet and a height of 10 feet, what is the psi at 5 feet ?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The pressure is 2.167 psi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 1.5 feet

Height = 10 feet

We need to calculate the psi at 5 feet

Using formula of pressure at a depth in a fluid

Suppose the fluid is water.

Then, the pressure is

P=\rho g h

Where, P = pressure

\rho = density

h = height

Put the value into the formula

P=1000\times9.8\times1.524

P=14935.2\ N/m^2

Pressure in psi is

P=2.166167621\ psi

P=2.167\ psi

Hence, The pressure is 2.167 psi.
