An electrical power plant manages to send 88% of the heat produced in the burning of fossil fuel into the water-to-steam convers

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Let the x represent the amount of heat generated from the fossil fuel.

88% of x = 0.88 x

0.88 x was used to convert water to steam.

heat carried by steam = 40% × 0.88 x = 0.352 x

efficiency of the heat -to- work conversion = work output / work input = 0.352 x / x = 0.352 × 100 = 35.2 % which is less than 40 %

Which would melt first, germanium with a melting point of 1210 k or gold with a melting point of 1064oc?

iren2701 [21]

Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.

Part A A uniform solid disk of radius 1.60 m and mass 2.30 kg rolls without slipping to the bottom of an inclined plane. If the

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Height will be 3.8971 m

Explanation:

We have given that radius of the solid r = 1.60 m

Mass of the solid disk m = 2.30 kg

Angular velocity $\omega =4.46rad/sec$

Moment of inertia is given by $I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2$

Transnational Kinetic energy is given by $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ as we know that v = $v=\omega r$

So $KE=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2$

Rotational kinetic energy is given by $KE_{ROTATIONAL}=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \right )\omega ^2=\frac{1}{4}m(r\omega )^2$

Potential energy is given by mgh

According to energy conservation

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2+\frac{1}{4}m(\omega r)^2$

$h=\frac{3r^2\omega ^2}{4g}=\frac{3\times 1.60^2\times 4.46^2}{4\times 9.8}=3.8971m$

A 15 kg box is sliding down an incline of 35 degrees. The incline has a coefficient of friction of 0.25. If the box starts at re

valina [46]

The box has 3 forces acting on it:

• its own weight (magnitude w, pointing downward)

• the normal force of the incline on the box (mag. n, pointing upward perpendicular to the incline)

• friction (mag. f, opposing the box's slide down the incline and parallel to the incline)

Decompose each force into components acting parallel or perpendicular to the incline. (Consult the attached free body diagram.) The normal and friction forces are ready to be used, so that just leaves the weight. If we take the direction in which the box is sliding to be the positive parallel direction, then by Newton's second law, we have

• net parallel force:

∑ F = -f + w sin(35°) = m a

• net perpendicular force:

∑ F = n - w cos(35°) = 0

Solve the net perpendicular force equation for the normal force:

n = w cos(35°)

n = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(35°)

n ≈ 120 N

Solve for the mag. of friction:

f = µ n

f = 0.25 (120 N)

f ≈ 30 N

Solve the net parallel force equation for the acceleration:

-30 N + (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) sin(35°) = (15 kg) a

a ≈ (54.3157 N) / (15 kg)

a ≈ 3.6 m/s²

Now solve for the block's speed v given that it starts at rest, with v₀ = 0, and slides down the incline a distance of ∆x = 3 m:

v² - v₀² = 2 a ∆x

v² = 2 (3.6 m/s²) (3 m)

v = √(21.7263 m²/s²)

v ≈ 4.7 m/s
