Answer:

I'm not sure how to use it using the Series, but it would be the plastic comb

Explanation:

In the winter, it's likely to be cold and the glass would absorb that energy, also making it cold. in order to be able to hold it, you would need something warm, thus making the plastic one the better option as it is less likely to absorb the cold energy

A point charge q1 = 3.0 µC is at the origin and a point charge q2 = 6.0 µC is on the x axis at x = 10 m.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) 1.6 mN b) -1.6 mN c) -1.6 mN d) 1.6 mN

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between 2 point charges, obeys the Coulomb's Law, that can be expressed as follows:

F₁₂ = k*q₁*q₂/(r₁₂)² (in magnitude)

The direction of the force, is along the line that joins the charges (along the x axis) and as q₁ and q₂ are of the same sign, aims away from both charges.

a) So, for the force on q₂, we have:

F₁₂ = 9*18*10⁻⁵ N = 1.6 mN (positive as it is aiming in the positive x direction)

b) The force on q1, according to Newton's 3rd Law, is just equal and opposite to the one on q2:

F₂₁ = (-9*18*10⁻⁵) N = -1.6 mN (towards the negative x direction, away from q1)

c) If q₂ were -6.0 μC, the force will be the same in magnitude, but as now both charges have different signs, they wil attract each other, so the direction of the forces will be exactly the opposite to the first case:

F₁₂ = -1.6 mN (going towards the origin, where q₁ is located)

F₂₁ = 1.6 mN (going in the positive x direction, towards q₂)

A hot-water stream at 80 ℃ enters a mixing chamber with a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s where it is mixed with a stream of cold wat

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

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

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

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