Help please:Calculate the mechanical energy of a bird flying at a speed of 10 m / s at an altitude of 15 m. If its mass is 150 g

and the influence of gravitational force is 9.81 m / s²?​

Mass of the bird(m) = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Speed (v) = 10 m/s

Kinetic Energy = \frac{1}{2}m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 0.15 (10)^{2} = 7.5 J

Altitude (h) = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = (0.15)(9.81)(15) = 22.0725 J

Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = 7.5 + 22.0725

= 29.5725 J

The tuning fork has a frequency of 426.7 is found to cause resonance in a closed column of air measuring 0.186 (the diameter of
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The velocity of the tuning fork sound is 317.4648 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The frequency of the fork, f = 426.7 Hz

The length of the closed air column, L = 0.186 m

The diameter of the tube, d = 0.15 m

At the fundamental frequency in a closed tube, we have;

λ = 4·L

Where;

λ = The wavelength of the wave

L = The length of the tube

From the equation for the velocity of a wave, we have;

v = f·λ

Where;

v = The velocity of the (sound) wave

f = The frequency of the wave = 426.7 Hz

λ = 4·L = 4 × 0.186 m = 0.744 m

∴ v = 426.7 Hz × 0.744 m = 317.4648 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the sound produced by the tuning fork, v = 317.4648 m/s

In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The  fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is  

      k  = 0.903

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The time  constant  \tau  =  3

The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- \tau})

Where V_o is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged

    So   at  \tau  =  3

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- 3})

     V  =  0.950213 V_o

   Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

             E = \frac{1}{2 } * C  * V ^2

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor

Now  since capacitance is  constant  at  \tau  =  3

        The  energy stored can be evaluated at as

         V^2 =  (0.950213 V_o )^2

       V^2 =  0.903  V_o ^2

Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is  

      k  = 0.903

k) A stream of warm water is produced in a steady-flow mixing process by combining 1.0 kg s-1of cool water at 25°C with 0.8 kg s
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

T_ww = 43,23°C

Explanation:

To solve this question, we use energy balance and we state that the energy that enters the systems equals the energy that leaves the system plus losses. Mathematically, we will have that:

E_in=E_out+E_loss

The energy associated to a current of fluid can be defined as:

E=m*C_p*T_f

So, applying the energy balance to the system described:

m_CW*C_p*T_CW+m_HW*C_p*T_HW=m_WW*C_p*T_WW+E_loss

Replacing the values given on the statement, we have:

1.0 kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C)*25°C+0.8  kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C)*75°C=1.8 kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C)*T_WW+30  kJ/s

Solving for the temperature Tww, we have:

(1.0 kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C)*25°C+0.8 kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C)*75°C-30 kJ/s)/(1.8 kg/s*4,18 kJ/(kg°C))=T_WW

T_WW=43,23 °C

Have a nice day! :D

katrin [286]

Calculate force of each car:

P1 = 900 kg x 12m/s = 10,800

P2= 600 x 24 = 14,400

Degree of travel = arctan(14,300/10800)

Degree of travel = 53.1 N of E

12. The diameter of a circle is 2.42m. Calculate its<br>area in proper significant figure​
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

A = 4.6 [m²]

Explanation:

The area of a circle can be calculated by means of the following equation.

A=\frac{\pi }{4} *D^{2}

where:

A = area [m²]

D = diameter = 2.42 [m]

Now replacing:

A=\frac{\pi }{4} *(2.42)^{2} \\A = 4.6 [m^{2} ]
