Answer: An increase in carbon dioxide will occur in the atmosphere because there are less trees to use the gas in the process of photosynthesis.
Explanation: Photosynthesis can be simply defined as a process where green plants uses minerals from the soil, water and carbon dioxide to produce their own food (energy-rich organic compound/starch) while oxygen is released into the environment.
On the other hand, Human beings and other animals inhales the oxygen released into the environment by green plants and breath out carbon dioxide.
Deforestation is the permanent removal trees either for commercial or household use or in some cases, to make room or space for other activities or development.
Now when these trees (green plants) are permanently cut down without replacement, humans and other animals continuously exhale carbon dioxide and there will be little or no green plants (trees) available to convert this carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Hence, there will be an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as their are little or no tress to use the gas (carbon dioxide) in the process of photosynthesis.
2. Air at a temperature of 20 ºC passes through a pipe with a constant velocity of 40 m/s. The pipe goes through a heat exchanger in which hot gases outside the pipe heat up the air to 820 ºC. It then enters a turbine with a velocity of 40 m/s and expands till the temperature falls to 620 ºC. The air stream loses 4.3 kW heat in the turbine. If the air flow rate is 2.5 kg/s, calculate (a) How much heat is transferred to the air in the heat exchanger. (b) The power output of the turbine.
Answer:
a) Q = 1436 kW
b) P ≈ 776 kW
Explanation:
Let's begin by listing out the given parameters:
T1 = 20 °C, u = 40 m/s, T2 = 820 °C, P = 4.3 kW, m = 2.5 kg/s, T3 = 510 °C, V1 = 40 m/s,
V2 = 40 m/s, V3 = 55 m/s, ṁ = 2.5 kg/s
To solve the question, we make this assumption that the size of the pipe is constant
a) No change in velocity implies that heat added is isochoric
Q = m * C * ΔT
Cv of air at 300 K(≈20 °C) = 0.718
Q = 2.5 * 0.718 * (820 − 20)
Q = 1436 kW
b) P = ṁ * Cp * ΔT + ṁ * (V2² - V3²) ÷ 2000] - Ql
V2² - V3² = 55² - 40² = 1425
ΔT = T2 - T3 = 820 - 510 = 310 °C
Cp of air at 300 K(≠20 °C) = 1.005 kJ/kgK
Ql = 4.3 kW
P = 2.5 * (1.005 * 310) + 2.5 * (1425 ÷ 2000) - 4.3
P = 778.875 + 1.78125 - 4.3 = 776.35625
P ≈ 776 kW

Each propeller of the twin-screw ship develops a full-speed thrust of F = 285 kN. In maneuvering the ship, one propeller is turning full speed ahead and the other full speed in reverse. What thrust P must each tug exert on the ship to counteract the effect of the ship's propellers?
Answer:
tug_tug = 570 10³ l
Explanation:
In this problem, each propeller creates a force that makes the boat rotate, so the tugs have to create a die of equal magnitude rep from the opposite direction
∑ τ = 0
F1 la+ (-F1) (-l) = τ-tug
τ-tug = 2 f1 l
τ-tug = 2 28510³ l
tug_tug = 570 10³ l
where the is the distance from the propane axis to the point where the ship turns
This force may be less depending on where the tug is.

The space probe Deep Space 1 was launched on October 24th, 1998 and it used a type of engine called an ion propulsion drive. An ion propulsion drive generates only a weak force (or thrust), but can do so for long periods of time using only a small amount of fuel. Suppose the probe, which has a mass of 474 kg is travelling at an initial speed of 275 m/s. No forces act on it except the 5.60 x 10⁻² N thrust from the engine. This external force is directed PARALLEL to the displacement. The displacement has a magnitude of 2.42 x 10⁹ m. {PART A} Calculate the INITIAL kinetic energy of the probe [2 marks] {PART B} Find the work done BY THE ENGINE on the space probe [2 marks] {PART C} Calculate the FINAL KINETIC ENERGY of the probe (Hint W=∆E) [2 marks] {PART D} Determine the final speed of the probe, assuming that its mass remains constant [3 marks]
Answer:
Explanation:
mass of probe m = 474 Kg
initial speed u = 275 m /s
force acting on it F = 5.6 x 10⁻² N
displacement s = 2.42 x 10⁹ m
A )
initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m u² , m is mass of probe.
= .5 x 474 x 275²
= 17923125 J
B )
work done by engine
= force x displacement
= 5.6 x 10⁻² x 2.42 x 10⁹
= 13.55 x 10⁷ J
C ) Final kinetic energy
= Initial K E + work done by force on it
= 17923125 +13.55 x 10⁷
= 1.79 x 10⁷ + 13.55 x 10⁷
= 15.34 x 10⁷ J
D ) If v be its velocity
1/2 m v² = 15.34 x 10⁷
1/2 x 474 x v² = 15.34 x 10⁷
v² = 64.72 x 10⁴
v = 8.04 x 10² m /s
= 804 m /s
An experiment based at New Mexico’s Apache Point observatory uses a laser beam to measure the distance to the Moon with millimeter precision. The laser power is 120 GW, although it’s pulsed on for only 90 ps. The beam emerges from the laser with a diameter of 7.0 mm. It’s then beamed into a telescope aimed at the Moon. When the beam leaves the telescope, it has the telescope’s full 3.5-mm diameter. By the time it reaches the Moon, the beam has expanded to a diameter of 6.5 km.
a. Find the intensity of the beam as it leaves the laser. Express your answer with the appropriate units.
b. Find the intensity of the beam as it leaves the telescope. Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Answer:
Sorry but i dont know
Explanation:
When we apply the energy conversation principle to a cylinder rolling down an incline without sliding, we exclude the work done by friction because: A. there is no friction present B. the angular velocity of the center of mass about the point of contact is zero C. the coefficient of kinetic friction is zero D. the linear velocity of the point of contact (relative to the inclined surface) is zero E. the coefficient of static and kinetic friction are equal
Answer:
D. the linear velocity of the point of contact (relative to the inclined surface) is zero
Explanation:
The force of friction emerges only when there is relative velocity between two objects . In case of perfect rolling , there is no sliding so relative velocity between the surface and the point of contact is zero . In other words the velocity of point of contact becomes zero , even though , the whole body is in linear motion . It happens due point of contact having two velocities which are equal and opposite . One of the velocity is in forward direction and the other velocity which is due to rotation is in backward direction . So net velocity of point of contact becomes zero . Due to absence of sliding , displacement due to friction becomes zero . Hence work done by friction becomes zero.
A"boat"is"moving"to"the"right"at"5"m/s"with"respect"to"the"water."A"wave"moving"to"the"left,"opposite"the"motion"of"the"boat."The"waves"have"2.0"m"between"the"top"of"the"crests"and"the"bottom"of"the"troughs."The"period"of"the"wave"is"8.3"s"and"their"wavelength"is"110"m."At"one"instant"the"boat"sits"on"a"crest"of"the"wave,"20"seconds"later,"what"is"the"vertical"displacement"of"the"boat
Answer:
0.99m
Explanation:
Firs you calculate the relative velocity between the boat and the wave. The velocity of the boat is 5m/s and the velocity of the wave is given by:
[tex]v=\lambda f=\lambda\frac{1}{T}=(110m)\frac{1}{8.3s}=13.25\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
the relative velocity is:
[tex]v'=13.25m/s-5m/s=8.25\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
This velocity is used to know which is the distance traveled by the boat after 20 seconds:
[tex]x'=v't=(8.25m/s)(20s)=165m[/tex]
Next, you use the general for of a wave:
[tex]f(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)=Acos(\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x-\omega t)[/tex]
you take the amplitude as 2.0/2 = 1.0m.
[tex]\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{8.3s}=0.75\frac{rad}{s}[/tex]
by replacing the values of the parameters in f(x,t) you obtain the vertical displacement of the boat:
[tex]f(165,20)=1.0m\ cos(\frac{2\pi}{110m}(165)-(0.75\frac{rad}{s})(20s))\\\\f(165,20)=0.99m[/tex]
Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of its surroundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. If the coffee has a temperature of 210 degrees Fahrenheit when freshly poured, and 2.5 minutes later has cooled to 191 degrees in a room at 64 degrees, determine when the coffee reaches a temperature of 156 degrees.
Answer:
Explanation:
The problem is based on Newton's law of cooling .
According to Newton's law
dQ / dt = k ( T - T₀ ) ,
dT / dt = k' ( T - T₀ ) ; dT / dt is rate of fall of temperature.
T is average temperature of hot body , T₀ is temperature of surrounding .
In the first case rate of fall of temperature = (210 - 191) / 2.5
= 7.6 degree / s
average temperature T = (210 + 191) /2
= 200.5
Putting in the equation
7.6 = k' ( 200.5 - 64 )
k' = 7.6 / 136.5
= .055677
In the second case :---
In the second case, rate of fall of temperature = (191 - 156) / t
= 35 / t , t is time required.
average temperature T = (156 + 191) /2
= 173.5
Putting in the equation
35 / t = .05567 ( 173.5 - 64 )
t = 5.74 minute .
A convex mirror of focal length 33 cm forms an image of a soda bottle at a distance of 19 cm behind the mirror.If the height of the image is 7.0 cm,where is the object located,and how tall is it? What is the magnification of the image? Is the image virtual or real? Is the image inverted or upright? Draw a ray diagram to confirm your results.
Answer:
Image distance = 44.8cm, Image height = 16.5cm, Magnification = 0.42
The image is a virtual and upright image.
Explanation:
The nature of image formed by an object placed in front of a convex mirror is always diminished, virtual and erect.
The focal length f and the image distance are always NEGATIVE beacause the image is formed behind the mirror.
Given f = -33.0cm, v = -19.0cm
using thr mirror formula to get the object distance u, we have;
[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}\\ \frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{v}\\\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{-33} - \frac{1}{-19}\\\frac{1}{u}=\frac{-19+33}{627} \\\frac{1}{u}=\frac{14}{627} \\u=\frac{627}{14} \\u = 44.8cm[/tex]
To calculate the image height, we will use the magnification formula
M = [tex]\frac{image\ height}{object\ height}=\frac{image\ distance}{object\ distance} \\[/tex]
M = [tex]\frac{Hi}{HI}=\frac{v}{u}[/tex]
Given Hi = 7.0cm
v = 19.0cm
u = 44.8cm
HI = 7*44.8/19
HI = 16.5cm
The object height is 16.5cm
Magnification = v/u = 19.0/44.8 = 0.42
SInce the image is formed behind the mirror, the image is a VIRTUAL and UPRIGHT image
a 1200 kg trailer is hitched to a 1400 kg car. the car and trailer are traveling at 72 km.h when the driver applies the brakes on both the car and the trailer. knowing that the braking forces exerted on the car and the trailer are 5000 N and 4000 N respectively, determine (a) the distance traveled by the car and trailer before they come to a stop and (b) the horizontal component of the force exerted by the trailer hitch
Answer:
a) 8.67m
b) 1000N
Explanation:
(a) To find the distance you use the second Newton Law for both car and trailer, in order to calculate the dis-acceleration of the system:
[tex]F=ma\\\\a_=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{5000N+4000N}{1400kg+1200kg}=3.46\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
once you have this value, you use the the following kinematic equation to calculate the distance traveled by both car and trailer:
[tex]v^2=v_o^2-2ax\\\\x=\frac{-v^2+v_o^2}{2a}[/tex]
v: final velocity=0
vo: initial velocity = 72km/h = 60 m/s
by replacing the values of these parameters you obtain for x:
[tex]x=\frac{-0m/s+60m/s}{2(3.46m/s^2)}\\\\x=8.67m[/tex]
(b) The horizontal component of the force exerted by the trailer hitch is given by:
[tex]F_T=5000N-4000N=1000N[/tex]
Which of the following actions would decrease the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor when a constant potential difference is applied across the plates? (Choose from: Increasing the area of the plates; Decreasing the area of the plates; Increasing the separation between the plates; Decreasing the separation between the plates; Inserting a material with a higher dielectric constant between the plates
Answer:
increasing the separation between the plates
Explanation:
The increase in the vacuum/separation between the plates in a parallel plate capacitor connected to a constant potential difference decreases the energy stored in the capacitor. the increase in the separation of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor reduces the capacitance of the capacitor because
Q(charge) = CV V = VOLTAGE , c = capacitance
E = 1/2 eAV^2/ D ( ENERGY STORED )
where D = distance between plates, e = dielectric, A = area of capacitor , V = potential difference

A cylindrical specimen of some metal alloy having an elastic modulus of 108 GPa and an original cross-sectional diameter of 3.7 mm will experience only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 1890 N is applied. Calculate the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum allowable elongation is 0.45 mm.
Answer:
L= 276.4 mm
Explanation:
Given that
E= 180 GPa
d= 3.7 mm
F= 1890 N
ΔL= 0.45 mm
We know that ,elongation due to load F in a cylindrical bar is given as follows
[tex]\Delta L =\dfrac{FL}{AE}[/tex]
[tex]L=\dfrac{\Delta L\times AE}{F}[/tex]
Now by putting the values in the above equation we get
[tex]L=\dfrac{0.45\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (3.7\times 10^{-3})^2\times 108\times 10^9}{1890}\ m[/tex]
L=0.2764 m
L= 276.4 mm
Therefore the length of the specimen will be 276.4 mm
A 1600 kg sedan goes through a wide intersection traveling from north to south when it is hit by a 2300 kg SUV traveling from east to west. The two cars become enmeshed due to the impact and slide as one thereafter. On-the-scene measurements show that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires of these cars and the pavement is 0.75, and the cars slide to a halt at a point 5.54 m west and 6.19 m south of the impact point. How fast was sedan traveling just before the collision? How fast was SUV traveling just before the collision?
Answer:
Explanation:
momentum of sedan of 1600 kg = 1600x v , where v is its velocity
momentum of suv of 2300 kg = 2300 x u where u is its velocity .
force of friction = ( 1600 + 2300 ) x 9.8 x .75 ( fiction = μ mg )
= 28665 N
distance by which friction acted = √ (5.54² + 6.19²)
= 8.3 m
work done by friction
= 28665 x 8.3
= 237919.5 J
Total kinetic energy of cars = work done by friction
1/2 x 1600 x v² + 1/2 x 2300 u² = 237919.5
16 v² + 23 u² = 4758.4
1600 x v / 2300 u = 6.19 / 5.54
v / u = 1.6
v = 1.6 u
putting this equation in fist equation
40.96 u² + 23 u² = 4758.4
= 63.96 u² = 4758.4
u² = 74.4
u = 8.62 m /s
v = 13.8 m /s

A turntable has a moment of inertia of 3.00 x 10-2 kgm2 and spins freely on a frictionless bearing at 25.0 rev/min. A 0.300 kg ball of putty is dropped vertically on the turntable and sticks at a point 0.10m from the center. The total moment of inertia of the system increases, and the turntable slows down. But by what factor does the angular momentum of the system change after the putty is dropped onto the turntable
Answer:
There will be no change in the angular momentum of the system.
Explanation:
Total angular momentum of the system will remain unchanged . We can apply law of conservation of momentum because no external torque is acting on the system . There is increase in the momentum of inertia due to dropping of ball of putty . In order to conserve angular momentum , the system decreases its angular velocity . Hence the final angular momentum remains unchanged .

Picture (b) will also remain the same because they are both Electromagnetic waves and possess similar properties.
1. Deri had a large tank of oil (s-0.8) and was requested to determine the viscosity of that fluid. To assist with the process, she was given a 0.25-inch-diameter steel ball (sphere, s=8.0) to conduct the test. From the tests, she found that the terminal velocity of the sphere was 2.5 fpm. What is the viscosity of the oil? Remember, the volume of a sphere is (pi D3 /6). ANS. viscosity is 0.258 lb-s/ft2
Answer:
0.25916 lb-s/ft^2
Explanation:
Given:-
- The specific gravity of oil, SGo = 0.8
- The specific gravity of sphere, SGo = 8
- Terminal velocity of sphere, v = 2.5 fpm
- The diameter of sphere, D = 0.25 in
Find:-
What is the viscosity of the oil?
Solution:-
- Consider a sphere completely submerged into oil and travelling with terminal velocity ( v ).
- Develop a free body diagram for the sphere. There are forces acting on the sphere.
- The downward acting force is due to the weight of the sphere ( W ):
[tex]W = m_s*g[/tex]
Where,
The mass ( m_s ) of the sphere is given as:
[tex]m_s = S.G_s*p_w*V_s[/tex]
Where,
ρ_w : Density of water = 1.940 slugs/ft3
V_s: The volume of object ( sphere )
- The volume of sphere is expressed as a function of radius:
[tex]V_s = \frac{\pi *D^3}{6}[/tex]
Hence,
[tex]W = S.G_s*p_w*\frac{\pi*D^3 }{6}* g\\\\W = 8*1.940*\frac{\pi*(0.25/12)^3 }{6}*32\\\\W = 0.00235 lb[/tex]
- One of the upward acting force is the buoyant force ( Fb ) that is proportional to the volume of fluid displaced by the immersed object.
- The buoyant force ( Fb ) is given by:
[tex]F_b = S.G_o*p_w*V_s*g[/tex]
- Therefore the buoyant force ( Fb ) becomes:
[tex]F_b = 0.8*1.94*\frac{\pi*(0.25/12)^3 }{6} *32\\\\F_b = (4.73451*10^-^6)*(49.664)\\\\F_b = 0.00023 lb[/tex]
- The other upward acting force is the frictional drag ( F_d ) i.e the resistive frictional force acting on the contact points of the sphere and the fluid oil.
- From stokes formulations the drag force acting on a spherical object which is completely immersed in a fluid is given as:
[tex]F_d = 3*\pi*D*u*v[/tex]
Where,
μ: The viscosity of fluid
v : The velocity of object
Therefore,
[tex]F_d = 3*\pi*\frac{0.25}{12} *u*0.041666\\\\F_d = 0.00818*u\\[/tex]
- Apply Newton's second law of motion for the sphere travelling in the fluid:
[tex]F_n_e_t = m_s*a[/tex]
Where,
a: Acceleration of object = 0 ( Terminal velocity condition )
[tex]F_n_e_t = 0[/tex]
- Plug in the three forces acting on the metal sphere:
[tex]F_d + F_b - W = 0\\\\F_d = W - F_b\\\\0.00818*u = 0.00235 - 0.00023\\\\u = \frac{0.00212}{0.00818} = 0.25916 \frac{lb-s}{ft^2}[/tex]
Gerry is looking at salt under a powerful microscope and notices a crystalline structure. What can be known about the salt sample that Gerry is looking at?
1. The atoms have spread out from each other.
2.The atoms are sliding past each other.
3.The atoms have no particular pattern
4.The atoms are vibrating in place
Answer:
4.The atoms are vibrating in place
Explanation:
The answer is; The atoms are vibrating in place
We know that, molecules in the crystal have a definite position in the crystal and are bonded to each other by electrostatic forces. However, since the molecules have some energy, they vibrate in their positions. Their energy, however, is not high enough to cause them to overcome the strong bonding (unless the crystal is heated or the atoms are irradiated).

Can a moving object have gravitational energy?
Answer:
It is worth noting that the higher the gravitational energy of an object moving downwards, the lower the kinetic energy, and the lower the kinetic energy of an object moving upwards, the higher its gravitational energy.
Gravitational potential energy is acquired by an object when it has been moved against a gravitational field. For example, an object raised above the surface of the Earth will gain energy, which is released if the object is allowed to fall back to the ground.

Determine the acceleration of the system.
Answer:
a = 2.5 m / s²
Explanation:
This is an exercise of Newton's second law, in this case we fix a coordinate system with the x axis parallel to the plane with positive direction
Let's write the second law for bodies in the inclined plane
W₁ₓ + W₃ₓ - fr = (m₁ + m₃) a
N₁ - [tex]W_{1y}[/tex] + N₃- W_{3y} = 0
N₁ + N₃ = W_{1y} + W_{3y}
let's use trigonometry to find the weight components
sin 30 = Wₓ/ W
Wₓ = W sin 30
cos 30 = W_{y} / W
W_{y} = W cos 30
we substitute
N₁+ N₃ = W₁ cos 30 + W₃ cos 30
W₁ₓ + W₃ₓ - μ (m₁ + m₃) g cos30 = (m₁ + m₃) a
a = (m₁g sin 30 + m₃g sin 30 - μ (m₁ + m₃) g cos 30) / (m₁ + m₃)
a = g sin 30 - μ g cos30
let's calculate
a = 9.8 sin 30 - 0.28 9.8 cos 30
a = 4.9 - 2,376
a = 2.5 m / s²
"You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a river. The rock passes you on its way down, 9.00 s after it was thrown. What is the speed of the rock just before it reaches the water 21.0 m below the point where the rock left your hand
Answer:
48.54 m/s
Explanation:
If the rock takes 9 seconds to reach your position after being thrown, it reaches its maximum height in 4.5 seconds.
The height the rock reaches above your position is ...
h = (1/2)gt^2 = (4.9 m/s^2)(4.5 s)^2 = 99.225 m
This height is an additional 21 m above the water, so the maximum height above the water is ...
99.225 m +21.0 m = 120.225 m
The velocity (v) achieved when falling from this distance is found from ...
v^2 = 2gh
v = √(2(9.8)(120.225)) = √2356.41 ≈ 48.543 . . . . m/s
The speed of the rock when it hits the water is about 48.54 m/s.
When a star explodes as a supernova, the expanding gas can pass through the interstellar medium triggering...
A.) an increase in variable star activity
B.) formation of new stars
C.) life to develop
D.) additional supernovas
B. Formation of new stars
