Inlet Temperature: T1 (K) = 325
Inlet pressure: P1 (kPa) = 560
Inlet Velocity: V1 (m/s) = 97
Throat Area: A (cm^2) = 5.3
Pressure upstream of (before) shock: Px (kPa) = 207.2
Mach number at exit: M = 0.1
Answer: A) match number at inlet = 0.2683
B) stagnation temperature at inlet = 329.68 k
C) stagnation pressure = 588.73 kPa
D) ) Throat temperature = 274.73 k
Explanation:
Determining states at several locations in the system
A) match number at inlet
= V1 / C1 = 97/ 261.427 = 0.2683
C1 = sound velocity at inlet = [tex]\sqrt{K*R*T}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{1.4 *0.287*10^3}[/tex] = 361.427 m/s
v1 = inlet velocity = 97
B) stagnation temperature at inlet
= T1 + [tex]\frac{V1 ^2}{2Cp}[/tex] = 325 + [tex]\frac{97^2}{2 * 1.005*10^{-3} }[/tex]
stagnation temperature = 329.68 k
C) stagnation pressure
= [tex]p1 ( 1 + 0.2Ma^2 )^{3.5}[/tex]
Ma = match number at inlet = 0.2683
p1 = inlet pressure = 560
hence stagnation pressure = 588.73 kPa
D) Throat temperature
= [tex]\frac{Th}{T} = \frac{2}{k+1}[/tex]
Th = throat temperature
T = stagnation temp at inlet = 329.68 k
k = 1.4
make Th subject of the relation
Th = 329.68 * (2 / 2.4 ) = 274.73 k
A skull believed to belong to an ancient human being has a carbon-14 decay rate of 5.4 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon (5.4 dis/min*gC). If living organisms have a decay rate of 15.3 dis/min*gC, how old is this skull
Answer:
9.43*10^3 year
Explanation:
For this question, we ought to remember, or know that the half life of carbon 14 is 5730, and that would be vital in completing the calculation
To start with, we use the formula
t(half) = In 2/k,
if we make k the subject of formula, we have
k = in 2/t(half), now we substitute for the values
k = in 2 / 5730
k = 1.21*10^-4 yr^-1
In(A/A•) = -kt, on rearranging, we find out that
t = -1/k * In(A/A•)
The next step is to substitite the values for each into the equation, giving us
t = -1/1.21*10^-4 * In(5.4/15.3)
t = -1/1.21*10^-4 * -1.1041
t = 0.943*10^4 year
A person looks horizontally at the edge of a swimming pool. If its length is 5 m, and the pool is filled to the surface, to what depth (in m) could the observer see
Answer:
The observer could see to a depth of 4.38 m
Explanation:
Please check attachment for diagram.
Mathematically, from Snell law;
n1sin theta = n2 sin theta
1 * sin 90 = n2 * sin θR
where n2 = 1.33
1/1.33 = sin θR
Sin θR = 0.7519
θR = arc sin 0.7519
θR = 48.76
Now to get the height, we use the triangle
Using trigonometric ratio;
Tan( 90- θR) = H/5
H = 5 Tan( 90 - θR)
H = 5 Tan( 90-48.76)
H = 5 Tan41.24
H = 4.38 m
A rock has mass 1.80 kg. When the rock is suspended from the lower end of a string and totally immersed in water, the tension in the string is 10.8 N . What is the smallest density of a liquid in which the rock will float?
Answer:
The density is [tex]\rho_z = 2544 \ kg /m^3[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the rock is [tex]m_r = 1.80 \ kg[/tex]
The tension on the string is [tex]T = 10.8 \ N[/tex]
Generally the weight of the rock is
[tex]W = m * g[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 1.80 * 9.8[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 17.64 \ N[/tex]
Now the upward force(buoyant force) acting on the rock is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]F_f = W - T[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]F_f = 17.64 - 10.8[/tex]
[tex]F_f = 6.84 \ N[/tex]
This buoyant force is mathematically represented as
[tex]F_f = \rho * g * V[/tex]
Here [tex]\rho[/tex] is the density of water and it value is [tex]\rho = 1000\ kg/m^3[/tex]
So
[tex]V = \frac{F_f}{ \rho * g }[/tex]
[tex]V = \frac{6.84}{ 1000 * 9.8 }[/tex]
[tex]V = 0.000698 \ m^3[/tex]
Now for this rock to flow the upward force (buoyant force) must be equal to the length
[tex]F_f = W[/tex]
[tex]\rho_z * g * V = W[/tex]
Here z is smallest density of a liquid in which the rock will float
=> [tex]\rho_z = \frac{W}{ g * V}[/tex]
=> [tex]\rho_z = \frac{17.64}{ 0.000698 * 9.8}[/tex]
=> [tex]\rho_z = 2544 \ kg /m^3[/tex]
One solenoid is centered inside another. The outer one has a length of 54.0 cm and contains 6750 coils, while the coaxial inner solenoid is 4.00 cm long and 0.170 cm in diameter and contains 21.0 coils. The current in the outer solenoid is changing at 35.0 A/s .What is the mutual inductance of the solenoids?Find the emf induced in the inner solenoid.
Answer:
M₁₂ = 1.01 10⁻⁴ H , Fem = 3.54 10⁻³ V
Explanation:
The mutual inductance between two systems is
M₁₂ = N₂ Ф₁₂ / I₁
where N₂ is the number of turns of the inner solenoid N₂ = 21.0, i₁ the current that flows through the outer solenoid I₁ = 35.0 A / s and fi is the flux of the field of coil1 that passes through coil 2
the magnetic field of the coil1 is
B = μ₀ n I₁ = μ₀ N₁/l I₁
the flow is
Φ = B A₂
the area of the second coil is
A₂ = π d₂ / 4
Φ = μ₀ N₁ I₁ / L π d² / 4
we substitute in the first expression
M₁₂ = N₂ μ₀ N₁ / L π d² / 4
M₁₂ = μ₀ N₁ N₂ π d² / 4L
d = 0.170 cm = 0.00170 m
L = 4.00 cm = 0.00400 m
let's calculate
M₁₂ = 4π 10⁻⁷ 6750 21 π 0.0017²/ (4 0.004)
M₁₂ = π² 0.40966 10⁻⁷ / 0.004
M₁₂ = 1.01 10⁻⁴ H
The electromotive force is
Fem = - M dI₁ / dt
Fem = - 1.01 10⁻⁴ 35.0
Fem = 3.54 10⁻³ V

Water pressurized to 3.5 x 105 Pa is flowing at 5.0 m/s in a horizontal pipe which contracts to 1/2 its former radius. a. What are the pressure and velocity of the water after the contraction
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the Continuity equation
v X A = v' xA'
so if A is 1/2of A' then A velocity must be 2 times the A'
after-contraction v = 2 x 5.0m/s = 10m/s
Using the Bernoulli equation
p₁ + ½ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = p₂ + ½ρv₂² + ρgh₂
, the "h" terms cancel
3.5 x 10^ 5Pa + ½ x 1000kg/m³x (5.0m/s)² = p₂ + ½ x 1000kg/m³ x (10m/s)²
p₂ = 342500pa
The cylinder is displaced 0.17 m downward from its equilibrium position and is released at time t = 0. Determine the displacement y and the velocity v when t = 3.1 s. The displacement and velocity are positive if downward, negative if upward. What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration?
Complete Question
The image of this question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
a
[tex]d =0.161 \ m[/tex]
b
[tex]v = - 0.054 \ m/s[/tex]
c
[tex]a = 6.12 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The maximum displacement is A = 0.17 m
The time considered is [tex]t = 3.1 \ s[/tex]
The spring constant is [tex]k = 137 \ N \cdot m[/tex]
The mass is [tex]m = 3.8 \ kg[/tex]
Generally given that the motion which the cylinder is undergoing is a simple harmonic motion , then the displacement is mathematically represented as
[tex]d = A cos (w t )[/tex]
Where [tex]w[/tex] is the angular frequency which is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]w = \sqrt{\frac{137}{ 3.8} }[/tex]
[tex]w =6[/tex]
So the displacement is at t
[tex]d = 0.17 cos (6 * 3.1 )[/tex]
[tex]d =0.161 \ m[/tex]
Generally the velocity of a SHM(simple harmonic motion) is mathematically represented as
[tex]v = - Asin (wt)[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]v = - 0.17 sin ( 6 * 3.1 )[/tex]
[tex]v = - 0.054 \ m/s[/tex]
Generally the maximum acceleration is mathematically represented as
[tex]a = w^2 * A[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]a_{max} = 6^2 * (0.17)[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]a = 6^2 * (0.17)[/tex]
[tex]a = 6.12 \ m/s^2[/tex]

A 10 n force is applied horizontally on a box to move it 10 m across a frictionless surface. How much work was done to move the box?
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100 \ J}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We are asked to calculate the work done to move a box.
Work is the product of force and distance or displacement.
[tex]W= F*d[/tex]
A 10 Newton force is applied horizontally on the box. Since the surface is frictionless, there is no force of friction, and the net force is 10 Newtons. The force moves the box 10 meters.
F= 10 N d= 10 mSubstitute the values into the formula.
[tex]W= 10 \ N * 10 \ m[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]W= 100 \ N*m[/tex]
Let's convert the units. 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule, therefore our answer of 100 Newton meters is equal to 100 Joules.
[tex]W= 100 \ J[/tex]
100 Joules of work was done to move the box.

Consider 1 mol an ideal gas at 28∘ C and 1.06 atm pressure. To get some idea how close these molecules are to each other, on the average, imagine them to be uniformly spaced, with each molecule at the center of a small cube.
A) What is the length of an edge of each cube if adjacent cubes touch but do not overlap?
B) How does this distance compare with the diameter of a typical molecule? The diameter of a typical molecule is about 10-10 m. (in l/dmolecule)
C) How does their separation compare with the spacing of atoms in solids, which typically are about 0.3 nm apart? (in l/lsolid)
Answer:
A) Length of an edge = 3.38 × 10^(-9) m
B) 34 times the diameter of a molecule.
C) 11 times the atomic spacing in solids.
Explanation:
A) We will use Avogadro's hypothesis to solve this. It states that 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L at STP.
We want to find the volume occupied by 1 mole of gas at 1.06 atm pressure and temperature of 28 °C (= 301 K).
Thus, by the ideal gas equation, we have;
V_mole = (1 × 22.4/273) × (301/1.06) = 23.3 L = 0.0233 m³
Now, since from avogadros number, 1 mole of gas contains 6.02 x 10^(23) molecules, then volume occupied by a molecule is given by;
V_molecule = 0.0233/(6.02 × 10^(23)) m³ = 3.87 x 10^(-26) m³
Thus, length of an edge of the cube = ∛(3.87 × 10^(-26)) = 3.38 × 10^(-9) m
B) We are told that The diameter of a typical molecule is about 10^(-10) m.
Thus, the distance is about;
(3.38 × 10^(-9))/(10^(-10)) ≈ 34 times the diameter of a molecule.
C) We are told that the spacing of atoms is typically are about 0.3 nm apart
Thus;
The separation will be about;
(3.38 × 10^(-9))/(0.3 × 10^(-9)) ≈ 11 times the atomic spacing in solids.

O The nail exerts a much smaller force on the hammer in the opposite direction
O The nail exerts a much smaller force on the hammer in the same direction.
The nail exerts an equal force on the hammer in the same direction.
O The nail exerts an equal force on the hammer in the opposite direction.
Answer:
reviewing the final statements, the correct one is the quarter
The nail exerts an equal force on the hammer in the opposite direction.
Explanation:
This is an action-reaction problem or Newton's third law, which states that forces in naturals occur in pairs.
This is the foregoing, the hammer exerts a force on the nail of magnitude F and it will direct downwards, if we call this action and the nail exerts a force on the hammer of equal magnitude but opposite direction bone directed upwards, each force is applied in one of the bodies.
The difference in result that each force is that the force between the nail exerts a very high pressure (relation between the force between the nail area), instead the area of the hammer is much greater, therefore the pressure is small.
When reviewing the final statements, the correct one is the quarter
The nail exerts an equal force on the hammer in the opposite direction.

[tex]y = \frac{\lambda * D}{d}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]y = \frac{6.33*10^{-7} * 1.0}{ 0.30}[/tex]
[tex]y = 0.00211 \ m[/tex]

A 1.8-mole sample of an ideal gas is allowed to expand at a constant temperature of 250 K. The initial volume is 34 L and the final volume is 80 L. How much work does the gas perform on its container? Let the ideal-gas constant R = 8.314 J/(mol • K).
Answer:
3201.304 J
Explanation:
Use ideal gas equation to initial stage:
PV=nRT
P * 0.034 = 1.8 * 8.314 * 250
P = 110038.2353 Pa
Use ideal gas equation to final stage:
PV=nRT
P * 0.08 = 1.8 * 8.314 * 250
P = 46766.25 Pa
Process is isothermal (constant temperature )
Therefore,
Work= C ln (V2/V1)
(P1V1=P2V2=C)
(Above equation is taken by integration of P.dv)
Work = P1V1 ln (V2/V1) = P2V2 ln (V2/V1)
By substituting above data to the equation:
Work = (110038.2353 * 0.034) * ln (0.08/0.034)
Work = 3201.304 J

Find the current through a person and identify the likely effect on her if she touches a 120 V AC source in the following circumstances. (Note that currents above 10 mA lead to involuntarily muscle contraction.)
(a) if she is standing on a rubber mat and offers a total resistance of 300kΩ
(b) if she is standing barefoot on wet grass and has a resistance of only 4000kΩ
Answer:
A) 0.4 mA
B) 0.03 mA
Explanation:
Given that
voltage source, V = 120 V
to solve this question, we would be using the very basic Ohms Law, that voltage is proportional to the current and the resistance passing through the circuit, if temperature is constant.
mathematically, Ohms Law, V = IR
V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance
from question a, we were given 300kΩ, substituting this value of resistance in the equation, we have
120 = I * 300*10^3 Ω
making I the subject of the formula,
I = 120 / 300000
I = 0.0004 A
I = 0.4 mA
Question said, currents above 10 mA causes involuntary muscle contraction, this current is way below 10 mA, so nothing happens.
B, we have Resistance, R = 4000kΩ
Substituting like in part A, we have
120 = I * 4000*10^3 Ω
I = 120 / 4000000
I = 0.00003 A
I = 0.03 mA
This also means nothing happens, because 0.03 mA is very much lesser compared to in the 10 mA
The current through a person will be:
a) 0.4 mA
b) 0.03 mA
Given:
Voltage, V = 120 V
Ohm's Law:It states that the voltage or potential difference between two points is directly proportional to the current or electricity passing through the resistance, and directly proportional to the resistance of the circuit.
Ohms Law, V = I*R
where,
V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance
a)
Given: Resistance= 300kΩ
[tex]120 = I * 300*10^3 ohm\\\\I = 120 / 300000\\\\I = 0.0004 A[/tex]
Thus, current will be, I = 0.4 mA
b)
Given: R = 4000kΩ
[tex]120 = I * 4000*10^3 ohm\\\\I = 120 / 4000000\\\\I = 0.00003 A[/tex]
Thus, current will be, I = 0.03 mA
From calculations, we observe that nothing happens, because 0.03 mA is very much lesser compared to in the 10 mA.

Explanation:B
can you guys pls also solve for average speed.
Answer:
d_t = 3.05km
v_a = 4.3km/h
Explanation:
42mins*(2/3) = 28mins
42mins-28mins = 14mins
d = v*t
d_1 = (4km/h)*(1h/60mins)*(28mins)
d_1 = 1.87km
d_2 = (5km/h)*(1h/60mins)*(14mins)
d_2 = 1.17km
d_t = d_1+d_2
d_t = 1.87km+1.17km
d_t = 3.05km
v_a = (v_1+v_2)/2
v_a = [(2*4km/h)+5km/h)]/3
v_a = 4.3km/h
A viewing screen is separated from a double slit by 5.20 m. The distance between the two slits is 0.0300 mm. Monochromatic light is directed toward the double slit and forms an interference pattern on the screen. The first dark fringe is 3.70 cm from the center line on the screen.
Required:
a. Determine the wavelength of light.
b. Calculate the distance between the adjacent bright fringes.
Answer:
The wavelength of this light is approximately [tex]427\; \rm nm[/tex] ([tex]4.27\times 10^{-7}\; \rm m[/tex].)The distance between the first and central maxima is approximately [tex]7.40\; \rm cm[/tex] (about twice the distance between the first dark fringe and the central maximum.)Explanation:
WavelengthConvert all lengths to meters:
Separation of the two slits: [tex]0.0300\; \rm mm = 3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m[/tex].Distance between the first dark fringe and the center of the screen: [tex]3.70\; \rm cm = 3.70\times 10^{-2}\; \rm m[/tex].Refer to the diagram attached (not to scale.) Assuming that the screen is parallel to the line joining the two slits. The following two angles are alternate interior angles and should be equal to each other:
The angle between the filter and the beam of light from the lower slit, andThe angle between the screen and that same beam of light.These two angles are marked with two grey sectors on the attached diagram. Let the value of these two angles be [tex]\theta[/tex].
The path difference between the two beams is approximately equal to the length of the segment highlighted in green. In order to produce the first dark fringe from the center of the screen (the first minimum,) the length of that segment should be [tex]\lambda / 2[/tex] (one-half the wavelength of the light.)
Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle \cos \theta \approx \frac{\text{Path difference}}{\text{Slit separation}} = \frac{\lambda / 2}{3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m}[/tex].
On the other hand:
[tex]\begin{aligned} \cot \theta &\approx \frac{\text{Distance between central peak and first minimum}}{\text{Distance between the screen and the slits}} \\ &= \frac{3.70\times 10^{-2}\; \rm m}{5.20\; \rm m} \approx 0.00711538\end{aligned}[/tex].
Because the cotangent of [tex]\theta[/tex] is very close to zero,
[tex]\cos \theta \approx \cot \theta \approx 0.00711538[/tex].
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\lambda /2}{3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m} \approx \cos\theta\approx 0.00711538[/tex].
[tex]\begin{aligned}\lambda &\approx 2\times 0.00711538 \times \left(3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m\right) \\ &\approx 4.26 \times 10^{-7}\; \rm m = 426\; \rm nm\end{aligned}[/tex].
Distance between two adjacent maximaIf the path difference is increased by one wavelength, then the intersection of the two beams would move from one bright fringe to the next one.
The path difference required for the central maximum is [tex]0[/tex].The path difference required for the first maximum is [tex]\lambda[/tex].The path difference required for the second maximum is [tex]2\,\lambda[/tex].On the other hand, if the distance between the maximum and the center of the screen is much smaller than the distance between the screen and the filter, then:
[tex]\begin{aligned}&\frac{\text{Distance between image and center of screen}}{\text{Distance between the screen and the slits}} \\ &\approx \cot \theta \\ &\approx \cos \theta \\ &\approx \frac{\text{Path difference}}{\text{Slit separation}}\end{aligned}[/tex].
Under that assumption, the distance between the maximum and the center of the screen is approximately proportional to the path difference. The distance between the image (the first minimum) and the center of the screen is [tex]3.70\; \rm cm[/tex] when the path difference is [tex]\lambda / 2[/tex]. The path difference required for the first maximum is twice as much as that. Therefore, the distance between the first maximum and the center of the screen would be twice the difference between the first minimum and the center of the screen: [tex]2 \times 3.70\; \rm cm = 7.40\; \rm cm[/tex].
