A light horizontal spring has a spring constant of 167 N/m. A 2.77 kg block is pressed against one end of the spring, compressin

g the spring 0.132 m. After the block is released, the block moves 0.284 m to the right before coming to
rest. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s^2
What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the horizontal surface and the block?

Answer:

μ = 0.189

Explanation:

The spring potential energy will convert to work of friction

    Fd = ½kx²

μmgd = ½kx²

       μ = kx²/2mgd

       μ = 167(0.132²) / (2(2.77)(9.81)(0.284))

       μ = 0.18852424...

A car traveling at 50 m/s uniformly accelerates to 60 m/s over an 58 second interval. What is the displacement?
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

here u = 50m/s

v = 60m/s

t = 58 s

then a = (60-50)/58 m/s2

= 0.17m/s2

now s= ut+1/2at2

so , 50×58+0.5×0.17×(58)^2 m

= 3185.94 m

= 3.18 km

A wooden block has a mass of 20.0 kg and a specific heat of 1700 J/kg °C. Find the change in thermal energy of the block as it w
andrew-mc [135]
M = 20.0kg, the mass of the block.
c = 1700 J/(kg-°C), the specific heat
ΔT = 25 - 15 = 10 °C = 10 K, the change in temperature.

The change in thermal energy is
Q = (20.0 \, kg)*(1700 \,  \frac{J}{kg-C} )*(10 \, C) = 340 \times 10^{3} \, J

Answer: 340 kJ (or 340,000 J)

Two equal quantities of water, of mass m and at temperatures T1 and T2, (T1 > T2) are mixed together with the pressure kept c
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

ΔS=2*m*Cp*ln((T1+T2)/(2*(T1*T2)^1/2))

Explanation:

The concepts and formulas that I will use to solve this exercise are the integration and the change in the entropy of the universe. To calculate the final temperature of the water the expression for the equilibrium temperature will be used. Similarly, to find the change in entropy from cold to hot water, the equation of the change of entropy will be used. In the attached image is detailed the step by step of the resolution.

An proton-antiproton pair is produced by a 2.20 × 10 3 MeV photon. What is the kinetic energy of the antiproton if the kinetic e
timama [110]

Answer:

K = 80.75 MeV    

Explanation:

To calculate the kinetic energy of the antiproton we need to use conservation of energy:

E_{ph} = E_{p} + E_{ap} = E_{0p} + K_{p} + E_{0ap} + K_{ap} = m_{0p}c^{2} + K_{p} + m_{0ap}c^{2} + K_{ap}

<em>where E_{ph}: is the photon energy, E_{0p} and E_{0ap}: are the rest energies of the proton and the antiproton, respectively, equals to m₀c², K_{p} and K_{ap}: are the kinetic energies of the proton and the antiproton, respectively, c: speed of light, and m₀: rest mass.</em>        

Therefore the kinetic energy of the antiproton is:    

K_{ap} = E_{ph} - m_{0p}c^{2} - K_{p} - m_{0ap}c^{2}

<u>The proton mass is equal to the antiproton mass, so</u>:

K_{ap} = E_{ph} - 2m_{0p}c^{2} - K_{p}  

K_{ap} = 2.20 \cdot 10^{3}MeV - 2(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(3\cdot 10^{8} \frac {m}{s})^{2} - 242.85MeV

K_{ap} = 2.20 \cdot 10^{3}MeV - 2(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(3\cdot 10^{8} \frac {m}{s})^{2}(\frac{1eV}{1.602 \cdot 10^{-19}J})(\frac{1 MeV}{10^{6}eV}) - 242.85MeV

K_{ap} = 80.75 MeV              

Hence, the kinetic energy of the antiproton is 80.75 MeV.

I hope it helps you!

30000 btuh /3413 btuh/kw. = 8.8 kw

8.8 kw/.746 kw/hp = 11.8 hp if COP is 1

11.8/3 hp (COP coefficient of performance) = 3.99 COP

>>>So yes a 3.0 hp compressor with a nominal COP of 4 will handle the 30,000 btuh load.

3.2 to 4.5 is expected COP range for an air cooled heat pump or a/c unit.
