A small water pump is used in an irrigation system. The pump takes water in from a river at 10oC, 100 kPa at a rate of 5 kg/s. T

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

0.98kW

Explanation:

The conservation of energy is given by the following equation,

$\Delta U = Q-W$

$\dot{m}(h_1+\frac{1}{2}V_1^2+gz_1)-\dot{W} = \dot{m}(h_2+\frac{1}{2}V_2^2+gz_)$

Where

$\dot{m} =$ Mass flow

$h_1 =$ Specific Enthalpy (IN)

$h_2 =$ Specific Enthalpy (OUT)

$g =$ Gravity

$z_{1,2} =$ Heigth state (In, OUT)

$V_{1,2} =$ Velocity (In, Out)

Our values are given by,

$T_i = 10\°C$

$P_1 = 100kPa$

$\dot{m} = 5kg/s$

$z_2 = 20m$

For this problem we know that as pressure, temperature as velocity remains constant, then

$h_1 = h_2$

$V_1 = V_2$

Then we have that our equation now is,

$\dot{m}(gz_1) = \dot{m}(gz_2)+\dot{W}$

$\dot{W} = \frac{(5)(9.81)(0-20)}{1000}$

$\dot{W} = -0.98kW$

A slinky is stretched by two forces. When the forces are removed, the slinky returns to its original length. The slinky has been

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: elastically deformed or non-permanently deformed

Explanation:

According to classical mechanics, there are two types of deformations:

-Plastic deformation (also called irreversible or permanent deformation), in which the material does not return to its original form after removing the applied force, therefore it is said that the material was permanently deformed.

This is because the material undergoes irreversible thermodynamic changes while it is subjected to the applied forces.

-Elastic deformation (also called reversible or non-permanent deformation), in which the material returns to its original shape after removing the applied force that caused the deformation.

In this case the material also undergoes thermodynamic changes, but these are reversible, causing an increase in its internal energy by transforming it into elastic potential energy.

Therefore, the situation described in the question is related to elastic deformation.

A train moving at a constant speed on a surface inclined upward at 10.0° with the horizontal travels a distance of 400 meters in

Amiraneli [1.4K]

If the velocity of the train is v=s/t, where s is the distance and t is time, then v=400/5=80m/s. To get the vertical component of the velocity we need to multiply the velocity v with a sin(α): Vv=v*sin(α), where Vv is the vertical component of the velocity and α is the angle with the horizontal. So:

Vv=80*sin(10)=80*0.1736=13.888 m/s.

So the vertical component of the velocity of the train is Vv=13.888 m/s.

Melting Ice is what kind of reaction

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Answer is Endothermic Reaction

Explanation:

Basically, melting ice is an endothermic reaction because the ice absorbs (heat) energy, which causes a change to occur.

I hope it's helpful!!

a car with a mass of 2000 kilograms is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 meters per second. The curve h

melisa1 [442]

In the given problem, we say various information's that are going to help us reach the ultimate answer to the question. Let us first write the information's that have been presented in front of us.
Mass of the car = 2000 kg
Velocity of the car = 25 m/s^2
Radius of the circle = 80 m
Now we already know the equation for calculating the centripetal force and that is
Centripetal Force = [mass * (velocity)^2]/Radius
      = [2000 * (25)^2]/80
      = (2000 * 625)/80
      = 1250000/80
      = 15625
So the centripetal force on the car is 15625 Newtons
