Answer:

a

Explanation:

<em>a_c</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>v</em><em>_t</em><em>^</em><em>2</em><em>/</em><em>r</em>

<em>a_c</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em>(0.5)^2/0.03

<em>a_c</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em>8.33 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation for energy balance will be as follows.

$\Delta E_{system} = E_{in} - E_{out}$

$\Delta U = W_{in} - Q_{out}$

Hence, $W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

Therefore, we will calculate the final temperature as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}V}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V}{T_{2}}$

$T_{2} = \frac{20 psia}{14.7}(638 R)$

= 868.03 R

Now, we will calculate the mass as follows.

m = $\frac{P_{1}V}{RT_{1}}$

= $\frac{14.7 psia \times 15 ft^{3}}{0.3353 psi ft^{3}/lbm R \times 638 R}$

= 1.031 lbm

Hence,

$W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

Putting the values into the above equation as follows.

$W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

$W_{in} = 20 Btu + 1.031 lbm (\frac{0.160 Btu}{lbm R})(735 - 540)R$

$W_{in}$ = 655.2 Btu

Thus, we can conclude that work done by paddle wheel is 655.2 Btu.

The loaded cab of an elevator has a mass of 3.0 x 10 3 kg and moves 200 m up the shaft in 20 s at constant speed. At what averag

Alexeev081 [22]

The average rate at which the cable does work is 294,000 J/s.

The given parameters:

<em>mass, m = 3000 kg</em>
<em>height, h = 200 m</em>
<em>time of motion, t = 20 s</em>

The average rate at which the cable does work is calculated as follows;

$P = \frac{E}{t} \\\\P = \frac{mgh}{t} \\\\P = \frac{3000 \times 9.8 \times 200}{20} \\\\P = 294,000 \ J/s$

Thus, the average rate at which the cable does work is 294,000 J/s.

A 1500 kg car traveling at 80.0 km/h comes to a screeching halt in a time of 4.00 seconds. Calculate the force of friction exper

amm1812

Answer:

F=m x a

(F is force ,M is mass and A is acceleration)

in thisncase the Mass is given but we need to find ou the acceleration

Formula for acceleration-

a=(v - u)/t

(v is final velocity , u is initiatal velocity and t is time)

a = (0 - 80)/4

a= -80/4

a= -20

By substituting the values-

F= m x a

F= 1500 x -20

F=-30000N

Thus the force acted is -30000N

hope this helps
