A 300 MWe (electrical power output) Power Plant having a thermal efficiency of 40% is cooled by sea water. Due to environmental regulations the seawater can only increase temperature by 5 C during the process. How much sea water (minimum) must be used in kg/s for cooling if the plant operates at it's rated capacity?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 22,877 kg / s

Explanation:

Let's solve this exercise in parts, first look for the amount of heat generated by the plant and then the amount of water to dissipate this heat

The plant generates a power of 300 MW at a rate of 40%, let's use a direct ratio rule to find the heat. If the power is 400 MW it corresponds to 40%, what heat (Q) corresponds to the other 60%

           Q = 300 60% / 40%

           Q = 450 MW

having the amount of heat generated we can use the calorimeter equation,

           Q = m [tex]c_{e}[/tex] [tex](T_{f} - T_{o})[/tex]

            m = Q / c_{e} (T_{f} - T_{o})

let's use the maximum temperature change allowed

           (T_{f} - T_{o}) = 5

the specific heat of sea water is 3934 J / kg ºC, note that it is less than that of pure water, due to the salts dissolved in sea water

     

power and energy are related

              W = Q / t

               Q = W t

             

let's calculate

             m = 450 10⁶ / (3934 5)

             m = 22,877 kg / s

b) the heavier one will have twice the kinetic energy of the lighter one.
c) the heavier one will have times the kinetic energy of the lighter one.
d) both of them will have the same kinetic energy.

Answers

Answer:

b) the heavier one will have twice the kinetic energy of the lighter one.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of object with mass, m

K.E₁ = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

Since, the two objects are falling under same acceleration due to gravity, their velocity will be increasing at the same rate

The kinetic energy of object with mass, 2m

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(2m)v²

K.E₂ = 2(¹/₂mv²)

BUT K.E₁ = ¹/₂mv²

K.E₂ = 2(K.E₁)

Therefore, the heavier one will have twice the kinetic energy of the lighter one.

b) the heavier one will have twice the kinetic energy of the lighter one.

A 1.25-kg ball begins rolling from rest with constant angular acceleration down a hill. If it takes 3.60 s for it to make the first complete revolution, how long will it take to make the next complete revolution?

Answers

Answer:

The time taken is  [tex]\Delta t = 1.5 \ s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the ball is  [tex]m = 1.25 \ kg[/tex]

    The time taken to make the first complete revolution is  t= 3.60 s

    The displacement of the first complete revolution is  [tex]\theta = 1 rev = 2 \pi \ radian[/tex]

Generally the displacement for one  complete revolution is mathematically represented as

       [tex]\theta = w_i t + \frac{1}{2} * \alpha * t^2[/tex]

Now given that the stone started from rest [tex]w_i = 0 \ rad / s[/tex]

     [tex]2 \pi =0 + 0.5* \alpha *(3.60)^2[/tex]

     [tex]\alpha = 0.9698 \ s[/tex]

Now the displacement for two  complete revolution is

         [tex]\theta_2 = 2 * 2\pi[/tex]

         [tex]\theta_2 = 4\pi[/tex]

Generally the displacement for two complete revolution is mathematically represented as  

     [tex]4 \pi = 0 + 0.5 * 0.9698 * t^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]t^2 = 25.9187[/tex]

=>   [tex]t= 5.1 \ s[/tex]

So

 The  time taken to complete the next oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

     [tex]\Delta t = t_2 - t[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]\Delta t = 5.1 - 3.60[/tex]

     [tex]\Delta t = 1.5 \ s[/tex]

           

 

The time for the ball to complete the next revolution is 1.5 s.

The given parameters;

mass of the ball, m = 1.25 kgtime of motion, t = 3.6 sone complete revolution, θ = 2π

The constant angular acceleration of the ball is calculated as follows;

[tex]\theta = \omega t \ + \ \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\\\\2\pi = 0 \ + \ 0.5(3.6)^2 \alpha\\\\2\pi = 6.48 \alpha \\\\\alpha = \frac{2 \pi }{6.48} \\\\\alpha = 0.97 \ rad/s^2[/tex]

The time to complete the next revolution is calculated as follows;

[tex]4\pi = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (0.97)t^2\\\\8\pi = 0.97t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{8\pi }{0.97} \\\\t^2 = 25.91\\\\t = \sqrt{ 25.91} \\\\t = 5.1 \ s[/tex]

[tex]\Delta t = 5.1 \ s \ - \ 3.6 \ s \\\\\Delta t = 1.5 \ s[/tex]

Thus, the time for the ball to complete the next revolution is 1.5 s.

Answers

Answer:

From fastest speed to slowest speed, the electromagnetic waves are ranked as(up to down):

d. X-ray

c. Green light

a. Yellow light

f. Infrared wave

b. FM radio wave

e. AM radio wave

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves produced as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. The waves have three properties and these properties are frequency, speed and wavelength, which are related by the relationship below

V = Fλ

where:\

V = speed (velocity)

F = frequency

λ = wavelength.

From the relationship above, it is seen that the speed of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency. The higher the frequency, the higher the speed. Therefore, from the list given, the waves with  the highest to lowest frequencies/ from left to right are:

X-ray (3×10¹⁹ Hz to 3×10¹⁶Hz), Green light (5.66×10¹⁴Hz), Yellow light (5.17×10¹⁴Hz), Infrared wave (3×10¹¹Hz), FM radio wave (10.8×10⁸Hz to 8.8×10⁷Hz), AM radio wave (1.72 × 10⁶Hz to 5.5×10⁵Hz).

This corresponds to the speed from highest to lowest from left to right.

Thomas and Lilian are walking down the street to get to the corner store. They walk 5 blocks up the street and turn right by the stop sign. Once they turn at the stop sign they continue walking for 8 more blocks. They make a left, walk 2 blocks and cross the street to arrive at the corner store. While there they purchase a few snacks, sit at the curb, and then walk back home where they originally started. Thomas and Lilian are discussing their walk in reference to their overall displacement and distance. They seem to be in disagreement about their journey. Thomas says their overall displacement and distance are both zero, because they are back where they started. Lilian thinks their total distance and displacement are greater than zero.

Which person do you most agree with?
You are not expected to actually calculate in order to solve this problem.

Answers

Answer:

Thomas is correct that the zero displacements

Lilian is right that the distance is greater than zero.

Explanation:

In this problem we have to be clear about the difference between displacement and distance.

The displacement is a vector, that is, it has a modulation and direction, in this case we can draw a vector for the outward trip and another vector for the return trip, both will have the same magnitude, but their directions are opposite, so the resulting vector is zero.

The distance is a scalar and its value coincides with the modulus of the distance vector, in our case the distance is d for the outward journey and d for the return journey, so the total distance is 2d, which is different from zero.

The two students have some reason, but neither complete,

The displacement is zero because it is a vector and

the distance is different from zero (2d) because it is a scalar

 

Thomas is correct that the zero displacements

Lilian is right that the distance is greater than zero.

Therefore I agree with both, because each one has a 50% of the reason

Answer:

v_{f} = 74 m/s, F = 230 N

Explanation:

We can work on this exercise using the relationship between momentum and moment

        I = ∫ F dt = Δp

bold indicates vectors

we can write this equations in its components

X axis

       Fₓ t = m ( -v_{xo})

Y axis  

        t = m (v_{yf} - v_{yo})

in this case with the ball it travels horizontally v_{yo} = 0

Let's use trigonometry to write the final velocities and the force

        sin 30 = v_{yf} / vf

        cos 30 = v_{xf} / vf

        v_{yf} = vf sin 30

        v_{xf} = vf cos 30

         sin40 = F_{y} / F

         F_{y} = F sin 40

         cos 40 = Fₓ / F

         Fₓ = F cos 40

let's substitute

      F cos 40 t = m ( cos 30 - vₓ₀)

      F sin 40 t = m (v_{f} sin 30-0)

we have two equations and two unknowns, so the system can be solved

        F cos 40 0.1 = 0.4 (v_{f} cos 30 - 20)

        F sin 40 0.1 = 0.4 v_{f} sin 30

we clear fen the second equation and subtitles in the first

         F = 4 sin30 /sin40     v_{f}

         F = 3.111 v_{f}

        (3,111 v_{f}) cos 40 = 4 v_{f} cos 30 - 80

        v_{f} (3,111 cos 40 -4 cos30) = - 80

        v_{f} (- 1.0812) = - 80

        v_{f} = 73.99

        v_{f} = 74 m/s

now we can calculate the force

          F = 3.111 73.99

          F = 230 N

Answers

Answer:

(a) 0.613 m

(b) 0.385 m

(c) vₓ = 1.10 m/s, vᵧ = 3.50 m/s

v = 3.68 m/s², θ = 72.6° below the horizontal

Explanation:

(a)  Take down to be positive.

Given in the y direction:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

t = 0.350 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (0.350 s) + ½ (10 m/s²) (0.350 s)²

Δy = 0.613 m

(b) Given in the x direction:

v₀ = 1.10 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.350 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (1.10 m/s) (0.350 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.350 s)²

Δx = 0.385 m

(c) Find: vₓ and vᵧ

vₓ = aₓt + v₀ₓ

vₓ = (0 m/s²) (0.350 s) + 1.10 m/s

vₓ = 1.10 m/s

vᵧ = aᵧt + v₀ᵧ

vᵧ = (10 m/s²) (0.350 s) + 0 m/s

vᵧ = 3.50 m/s

The magnitude is:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v = 3.68 m/s²

The direction is:

θ = atan(vᵧ / vₓ)

θ = 72.6° below the horizontal

Answers

Complete question is;

A rope, under a tension of 153 N and fixed at both ends, oscillates in a second harmonic standing wave pattern. The displacement of the rope is given by

y = (0.15 m) sin[πx/3] sin[12π t].

where x = 0 at one end of the rope, x is in meters, and t is in seconds. What are (a) the length of the rope, (b) the speed of the waves on the rope, and (c)the mass of the rope? (d) If the rope oscillates in a third - harmonic standing wave pattern, what will be the period of oscillation?

Answer:

A) Length of rope = 4 m

B) v = 24 m/s

C) m = 1.0625 kg

D) T = 0.11 s

Explanation:

We are given;

T = 153 N

y = (0.15 m) sin[πx/3] sin[12πt]

Comparing this displacement equation with general waveform equation, we have;

k = 2π/λ = π/2 rad/m

ω = 2πf = 12π rad/s

Since, 2π/λ = π/2

Thus,wavelength; λ = 4 m

Since, 2πf = 12π

Frequency;f = 6 Hz

A) We are told the rope oscillates in a second-harmonic standing wave pattern. So, we will use the equation;

λ = 2L/n

Since second harmonic, n = 2 and λ = L = 4 m

Length of rope = 4 m

B) speed is given by the equation;

v = fλ = 6 × 4

v = 24 m/s

C) To calculate the mass, we will use;

v = √T/μ

Where μ = mass(m)/4

Thus;

v = √(T/(m/4))

Making m the subject;

m = 4T/v²

m = (4 × 153)/24²

m = 1.0625 kg

D) Now, the rope oscillates in a third harmonic.

So n = 3.

Using the formula f = 1/T = nv/2L

T = 2L/nv

T = (2 × 4)/(3 × 24)

T = 0.11 s

The width is [tex]w_c = 0.00422 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  wavelength is  [tex]\lambda = 6.33*10^{-7} \ m[/tex]

    The  width of the slit is  [tex]d = 0.3\ mm = 0.3 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]

    The distance of the screen is  [tex]D = 1.0 \ m[/tex]

     

Generally the central maximum is mathematically represented as

      [tex]w_c = 2 * y[/tex]

Here  y is the width of the first order maxima which is mathematically represented as

      [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]

So

If a point on the wave at a specific time has a displacement of 0.12 m, what is the transverse speed of that point?

Answers

Answer:

15m/s

Explanation:

The equation for a traveling wave as expressed as y(x, t) = A cos(kx − [tex]\omega[/tex]t) where An is the amplitude f oscillation, [tex]\omega[/tex] is the angular velocity and x is the horizontal displacement and y is the vertical displacement.

From the formula; [tex]k =\frac{2\pi x}{\lambda} \ and \ \omega = 2 \pi f[/tex] where;

[tex]\lambda \ is\ the \ wavelength \ and\ f \ is\ the\ frequency[/tex]

Before we can get the transverse speed, we need to get the frequency and the wavelength.

frequency = 1/period

Given period = 2/15 s

Frequency = [tex]\frac{1}{(2/15)}[/tex]

frequency = 1 * 15/2

frequency f = 15/2 Hertz

Given wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex] = 2m

Transverse speed [tex]v = f \lambda[/tex]

[tex]v = 15/2 * 2\\\\v = 30/2\\\\v = 15m/s[/tex]

Hence, the transverse speed at that point is  15m/s

d) Another day he performs the same task in 1.2 s.
1. Is the metabolic energy that he expends more, less, or the same?
2. Is his metabolic power more, less, or the same?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

(ΔK + ΔUg + ΔUs + ΔEch + ΔEth = W)

ΔK is increase in kinetic energy . As the athelete is lifting the barbell at constant speed change in kinetic energy is zero .

ΔK = 0

ΔUg  is change in potential energy . It will be positive as weight is being lifted so its potential energy is increasing .

ΔUg = positive

ΔUs is change in the potential energy of sportsperson . It is zero since there is no change in the height of athlete .

ΔUs = 0

ΔEth is change in the energy of earth . Here earth is doing negative work . It is so because it is exerting force downwards and displacement is upwards . Hence it is doing negative work . Hence

ΔEth = negative .

b )

work done by athlete

= 400 x 2 = 800 J

energy output = 800 J

c )

It is 25% of metabolic energy output of his body

so metalic energy output of body

= 4x 800 J .

3200 J

power = energy output / time

= 3200 / 1.6

= 2000 W .

d )

1 ) Since he is doing same amount of work , his metabolic energy output is same as that in earlier case .

2 ) Since he is doing the same exercise in less time so his power is increased . Hence in the second day his power is more .

A) Applying the energy equation

The positive terms is :   ΔUg The negative terms is :  ΔEth The zero term are :  ΔK  and ΔUs

B) The energy output by the athlete is ; 800 Joules

C) The metabolic power is : 2000 w

D) When he performs the task in 1.2 s

The metabolic energy he expends is : the same His metabolic power is :  more

Given data :

Weight of barbell = 400 N

Height = 2.0 m

Time = 1.6 secs

efficiency of the human body = 25%

Speed = constant

A) From the energy equation the ΔK is zero because the athlete is lifting the barbell at a constant speed. ΔUg is positive because as the weight is lifted its  potential energy increases.  ΔEth ( change in energy of earth ) is negative because it exerts a force in opposite direction to displacement

B)  Determine the energy output of the athlete

weight of barbell * Height  = 400 * 2 = 800 J

C) Determine the metabolic power

Metabolic power = energy output / Time

where ; energy output = 4 * 800 = 3200

∴ Metabolic power = 3200 / 1.6

                                = 2000 w

D) When performs same task at 1.2 s

The metabolic energy he expends is  the same  and His metabolic power is  more

The magnitude of the Poynting vector of a planar electromagnetic wave has an average value of 0.724 W/m2. What is the maximum value of the magnetic field in the wave

Answers

Answer:

7.78x10^-8T

Explanation:

The Pointing Vector S is

S = (1/μ0) E × B

at any instant, where S, E, and B are vectors. Since E and B are always perpendicular in an EM wave,

S = (1/μ0) E B

where S, E and B are magnitudes. The average value of the Pointing Vector is

<S> = [1/(2 μ0)] E0 B0

where E0 and B0 are amplitudes. (This can be derived by finding the rms value of a sinusoidal wave over an integer number of wavelengths.)

Also at any instant,

E = c B

where E and B are magnitudes, so it must also be true at the instant of peak values

E0 = c B0

Substituting for E0,

<S> = [1/(2 μ0)] (c B0) B0 = [c/(2 μ0)] (B0)²

Solve for B0.

Bo = √ (0.724x2x4πx10^-7/ 3 x10^8)

A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. Its speed is 26 m/s when it reaches ground level. What was its speed when its height was half that of its starting point?

Answers

Answer:

The velocity is  [tex]v_h = 19.2 \ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed of the roller coaster at ground level  is [tex]v = 26 \ m/s[/tex]

 

Generally we can define the roller coaster speed at ground level using the an equation of motion as

     [tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2 g s[/tex]

 u is  zero given that the roller coaster started from rest

      So

            [tex]26^2 = 0 + 2 * g * s[/tex]

So  

           [tex]s = \frac{26^2}{ 2 * g }[/tex]

=>       [tex]s = 37.6 \ m[/tex]

Now the displacement half way is mathematically represented as

       

    [tex]s_{h} = \frac{37.6}{2}[/tex]

     [tex]s_{h} = 18.8 \ m[/tex]

So

      [tex]v_h ^2 = u^2 + 2 * g * s_h[/tex]

Where  [tex]v_h[/tex] is the velocity at the half way point

=>  [tex]v_h = \sqrt{ 0 + 2 * 9.8 * 18.8 }[/tex]

=>   [tex]v_h = 19.2 \ m/s[/tex]

(Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz What frequency does the motorcyclist hear when stopped with the police car approaching at 61 mph (27.27 m/s)? (Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply formula of Doppler's effect

Here source is fixed and observer is approaching the source

f = f₀ x [(V + v ) / V ]

f₀ is original and f is apparent frequency , V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of motorcyclist .

f = 1000 x [(331 + 27.27 ) / 331 ]

= 1082 .4 Hz

This is the frequency heard by motorcyclist .

When police car is approaching him when he is stopped

f = f₀ x [V /(V - v ) ]

v is velocity of police car .

= 1000  x 331 / (331 - 27.27)

= 1090 Hz

Consider a wire of a circular cross-section with a radius of R = 3.17 mm. The magnitude of the current density is modeled as J = cr2 = 9.00 ✕ 106 A/m4 r2. What is the current (in A) through the inner section of the wire from the center to r = 0.5R?

Answers

Answer:

The current is  [tex]I = 8.9 *10^{-5} \ A[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  radius is [tex]r = 3.17 \ mm = 3.17 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]

      The current density is  [tex]J = c\cdot r^2 = 9.00*10^{6} \ A/m^4 \cdot r^2[/tex]

      The distance we are considering is  [tex]r = 0.5 R = 0.001585[/tex]

Generally current density is mathematically represented as

          [tex]J = \frac{I}{A }[/tex]

Where A is the cross-sectional area represented as

         [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

=>      [tex]J = \frac{I}{\pi r^2 }[/tex]

=>    [tex]I = J * (\pi r^2 )[/tex]

Now the change in current per unit length is mathematically evaluated as

        [tex]dI = 2 J * \pi r dr[/tex]

Now to obtain the current (in A) through the inner section of the wire from the center to r = 0.5R we integrate dI from the 0 (center) to point 0.5R as follows

         [tex]I = 2\pi \int\limits^{0.5 R}_{0} {( 9.0*10^6A/m^4) * r^2 * r} \, dr[/tex]

         [tex]I = 2\pi * 9.0*10^{6} \int\limits^{0.001585}_{0} {r^3} \, dr[/tex]

        [tex]I = 2\pi *(9.0*10^{6}) [\frac{r^4}{4} ] | \left 0.001585} \atop 0}} \right.[/tex]

        [tex]I = 2\pi *(9.0*10^{6}) [ \frac{0.001585^4}{4} ][/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]I = 2 * 3.142 * 9.00 *10^6 * [ \frac{0.001585^4}{4} ][/tex]

        [tex]I = 8.9 *10^{-5} \ A[/tex]

At what frequency should a 200-turn, flat coil of cross sectional area of 300 cm2 be rotated in a uniform 30-mT magnetic field to have a maximum value of the induced emf equal to 8.0 V

Answers

Answer:

The frequency of the coil is 7.07 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the coil, 200 turn

cross sectional area of the coil, A = 300 cm² = 0.03 m²

magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 30 mT = 0.03 T

Maximum value of the induced emf, E = 8 V

The maximum induced emf in the coil is given by;

E = NBAω

Where;

ω is angular frequency = 2πf

E = NBA(2πf)

f = E / 2πNBA

f = (8) / (2π x 200 x 0.03 x 0.03)

f = 7.07 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the coil is 7.07 Hz

Two waves are traveling in the same direction along a stretched string. The waves are 45.0° out of phase. Each wave has an amplitude of 7.00 cm. Find the amplitude of the resultant wave.

Answers

Answer:

The amplitude of the resultant wave is 12.93 cm.

Explanation:

The amplitude of resultant of two waves, y₁ and y₂, is given as;

Y = y₁ + y₂

Let y₁ = A sin(kx - ωt)

Since the wave is out phase by φ, y₂ is given as;

y₂ = A sin(kx - ωt + φ)

Y = y₁ + y₂ = 2A Cos (φ / 2)sin(kx - ωt + φ/2 )

Given;

phase difference, φ = 45°

Amplitude, A = 7.00 cm

Y = 2(7) Cos (45 /2) sin(kx - ωt + 22.5° )

Y = 12.93 cm

Therefore, the amplitude of the resultant wave is 12.93 cm.

An emf is induced by rotating a 1060 turn, 20.0 cm diameter coil in the Earth's 5.25 ✕ 10−5 T magnetic field. What average emf (in V) is induced, given the plane of the coil is originally perpendicular to the Earth's field and is rotated to be parallel to the field in 10.0 ms? V †

Answers

Answer:

The average emf induced in the coil is 175 mV

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the coil, N = 1060 turns

diameter of the coil, d = 20.0 cm = 0.2 m

magnitude of the magnetic field,  B = 5.25 x 10⁻⁵ T

duration of change in field, t = 10 ms = 10 x 10⁻³ s

The average emf induced in the coil is given by;

[tex]E = N\frac{\delta \phi}{dt} \\\\E = N\frac{\delta B}{\delta t}A[/tex]

where;

A is the area of the coil

A = πr²

r is the radius of the coil = 0.2 /2 = 0.1 m

A = π(0.1)² = 0.03142 m²

[tex]E = \frac{NBA}{t} \\\\E = \frac{1060*5.25*10^{-5}*0.03142}{10*10^{-3}} \\\\E = 0.175 \ V\\\\E = 175 \ mV[/tex]

Therefore, the average emf induced in the coil is 175 mV
