The tank pressure is 5.08 kPa and the mass flow rate is 2.6 kg/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Throat area of the nozzle, </em>A^*<em> = 10 cm² = 0.001 m²</em>
  • <em>The exit area of the nozzle, A = 28.96 cm² = 0.002896 m²</em>
  • <em>Air pressure at sea level = 101.325 kPa</em>

The ratio of the areas of the converging-diverging nozzle is calculated as follows;

= \frac{A}{A^*} \\\\= \frac{0.002896}{0.001} \\\\= 2.896

From supersonic isentropic table, at \frac{A}{A^*} = 2.896, we can determine the following;

M_e = 2.6 \ kg/s\\\\\frac{P_o}{P_e} = 19.954

The tank pressure is calculated as follows;

\frac{P_o}{P_e} = 19.954 \\\\P_e = \frac{P_o}{19.954} \\\\P_e = \frac{101.325 \ kPa}{19.954} \\\\P_e = 5.08 \ kPa

Thus, the tank pressure is 5.08 kPa and the mass flow rate is 2.6 kg/s.

<h2>Answer: </h2><h2>- Jupiter has orbiting moons.</h2><h2>- The Sun has sunspots and rotates on its axis.</h2><h2>- The Moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.</h2><h2>- Venus goes through a full set of phases.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1609 Galileo built a telescope, with which he observed mountains and craters on the Moon, discovered Jupiter’s major satellites and the next year he published these discoveries in his book <em>The Sidereal Messenger</em>.

In addition, Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth. This is because <u>Venus presented its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.  </u>

<u />

On the other hand, <u>although Galileo was not the first to observe sunspots</u>, he gave the correct explanation of their existence, which supported the idea that planets revolve around the Sun.

These observations and discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.

What is my displacement if i walked 200 meters west then turned around and walked 150 meters east
Alinara [238K]
You're walking in one direction, and then the exact opposite of that direction, so you simply have to subtract the two distances. 
200-150=50
You're 50 meters west of where you originally started.
You're west because 200 meters west is greater than 150 meters east. If the distance walked east was greater than the distance walked west, you would've been east of your starting position.

When a 12 V battery is connected to a 6 uF capacitor, how much energy is stored
adoni [48]

The energy stored in a capacitor is

E = (1/2) · (capacitance) · (voltage)²

E = (1/2) · (6 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (12 V)²

E = (3 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (144 V²)

<em>E = 4.32 x 10⁻⁴ Joule</em>

(That's 0.000432 of a Joule)
