Answer:

A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world and universe that has been repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment. In circumstances not amenable to experimental testing, theories are evaluated through principles of abductive reasoning. Established scientific theories have withstood rigorous scrutiny and embody scientific knowledge.

A scientific theory differs from a scientific fact or scientific law in that a theory explains "why" or "how": a fact is a simple, basic observation, whereas a law is a statement (often a mathematical equation) about a relationship between facts. For example, Newton’s Law of Gravity is a mathematical equation that can be used to predict the attraction between bodies, but it is not a theory to explain how gravity works. Stephen Jay Gould wrote that "...facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

A) q'_free = 3146.41 W/m²

B) q'_forced = 7521.41 W/m²

Explanation:

We are given;

Free convection coefficient; h_fr = 5 W/m²K

Force convection coefficient; h_forced = 30 W/m²K

Emissivity; ε = 0.95

Temperature of surrounding which is equal to temperature of air; T_s = T_air = 200°C = 473K

Initial temperature; T_i = 25°C = 298K

A) Now, since the convection feature is disabled, the mode of heat transfer associated with this condition is through free convection and radiation.

Thus, the formula for the heat flux under this condition is given as;

q'_free = q'_free convection + q'_radiation

q'_free convection = h_free(T_∞ - T_i) where T_∞ is equivalent to the value of T_air

Also, q'_radiation = ε•σ((T_air)⁴ - (T_i)⁴)

Where, σ is stephan boltzmann constant and has a constant value of 5.67 × 10^(−8) W/m²K⁴

Thus, rewriting;

q'_free = q'_free convection + q'_radiation

We have;

q'_free = [h_free(T_∞ - T_i)] + [ε•σ((T_air)⁴ - (T_i)⁴)]

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

q'_free = [5(473 - 298)] + [0.95•5.67 × 10^(−8)((473)⁴ - (298)⁴)]

q'_free = 875 + 2271.41

q'_free = 3146.41 W/m²

B) Now, in this case, since the convection feature is disabled, the mode of heat transfer associated with this condition is through forced convection and radiation.

Thus, the formula for the heat flux under this condition is given as;

q'_forced = q'_forced convection + q'_radiation

Where;

q'_forced convection = h_forced(T_∞ - T_i) where T_∞ is equivalent to the value of T_air

Also, q'_radiation = ε•σ((T_air)⁴ - (T_i)⁴)

Thus, rewriting;

q'_forced = q'_free convection + q'_radiation

We have;

q'_forced = [h_forced(T_∞ - T_i)] + [ε•σ((T_air)⁴ - (T_i)⁴)]

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

q'_forced = [30(473 - 298)] + [0.95•5.67 × 10^(−8)((473)⁴ - (298)⁴)]

q'_forced = 5250 + 2271.41

q'_forced = 7521.41 W/m²

At the grocery store you place a pumpkin with a mass of 12.5 lb on the produce spring scale. The spring in the scale operates su
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

x=2.19in

Explanation:

This is the equation that relates the force and displacement of a spring

F=Kx

m=mass=12.5lbx1slug/32.14lb=0.39slug

F=mg=0.39*32.2=12.52Lbf

then we calculate the spring count in lbf / ft

K=F/x

K=5.7lbf/1in=5.7lbf/in=68.4lbf/ft

Finally we calculate the displacement with the initial equation

X=F/k

x=12.52/68.4=0.18ft=2.19in

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: B. thermocouple measures temperatures at the tip and the thermistor at the dimple.

Explanation:

A thermistor is a temperature-sensitive resistor, whilst a thermocouple generates a voltage proportional to the temperature. Thermocouples can work at much higher temperatures than thermistors. They are commonly used for temperature control in heating systems.

A particular cloud-to-ground lightning strike lasts 500 µµsec and delivers 30 kA across a potential difference of 100 MV. Assu
sasho [114]

Answer:

a) 15 C charge was delivered by the lightening bolt

b) the lightning delivered 3.0 × 10¹² W of power

c)

- total energy delivered by the lightening strike in J is 1500 × 10⁶ J

- total energy delivered by the lightening strike in Wh is 416666.67 Wh

d)

the residential retail value of the energy delivered by the strike is $ 40.83

e)

a total of 26 lightening strikes would be required to power an average US home for a year.

Explanation:

Given that;

the lighting strike lasted for t ( time ) = 500 μsecs = 500×10⁻⁶ s

Current I = 30 kA = 30×10³ A

voltage V = 100 mV = 100×10⁶ v

a)

we know that; I = Q/t

so Q = I × t

we substitute

Q =  30×10³ × 500×10⁻⁶

Q = 15 C

Therefore 15 C charge was delivered by the lightening bolt

b)

Power P = V × I

we substitute

Power P = 100×10⁶ × 30×10³

P = 3.0 × 10¹² W

Therefore, the lightning delivered 3.0 × 10¹² W of power

c)

we know that; Power = Energy / Time

Energy = Power × Time

we substitute

E = 3.0 × 10¹²  × 500×10⁻⁶

E = 1500 × 10⁶ J

- total energy delivered by the lightening strike in J is 1500 × 10⁶ J

- total energy delivered by the lightening strike in Wh is;

⇒ 1500×10⁶ / 3600 Wh

= 416666.67 Wh

d)

given that;  1 KWh → $ 0.098

energy delivered by the strike = 416666.67 Wh = 416.66667 KWh

so the residential retail value of the energy delivered by the strike will be;

416.66667 KWh × $ 0.098

= $ 40.83

∴ the residential retail value of the energy delivered by the strike is $ 40.83

e)

Given that; average monthly residential energy consumption is 900 kWh.

for a year; energy consumption = 12 × 900 kWh = 10,800 KWh = 10800000 Wh

Now

1 lightening strike ⇒ 416666.67 Wh

x lightening strike ⇒ 10800000 Wh

x = 10800000 / 416666.67

x = 25.9199 ≈ 26

Therefore; a total of 26 lightening strikes would be required to power an average US home for a year.

A steady, incompressible, two-dimensional velocity field is given by the following components in the x-y plane: u=1.85+2.05x+0.6
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

\frac{du}{dt} = 1.515

\frac{dv}{dt} = 5.511

Explanation:

The acceleration field is obtained by deriving the components in function of the time. That is to say:

\frac{du}{dt}=2.05\cdot \frac{dx}{dt}+0.656\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}\\\frac{dv}{dt} = -2.18\cdot \frac{dx}{dt} -2.05\cdot \frac{dy}{dt}

Where \frac{dx}{dt} = u and \frac{dy}{dt} = v.

The velocity components at given point are, respectively:

u = 2.424

v=-5.266

Lastly, the acceleration components are found:

\frac{du}{dt} = 1.515

\frac{dv}{dt} = 5.511
