Response:

216000 W or 216 kW

Details:

Power: This refers to the rate at which energy is utilized or consumed. The standard unit for power is the Watt (W).

In general,

Power = Energy/time

P = E/t........................ Equation 1.

However,

E = 1/2mv²..................... Equation 2

with m representing mass, and v indicating velocity.

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1,

P = 1/2mv²/t...................... Equation 3

Assuming flow rate (Q) = m/t,

Q = m/t................ Equation 4

Insert equation 4 into equation 3,

P = Qv²/2........................ Equation 5

Where Q stands for flow rate, v is velocity, and P denotes power.

Given: Q = 120 kg/s, v = 60 m/s

Plug these values into equation 5,

P = 120(60)²/2

P = 60(60)²

P = 60×3600

P = 216000 W.

Thus, the potential power generation of the water jet is 216000 W or 216 kW.

serg [1198]

Answer:

1. The force applied by the shelf supporting the book.

Explanation:

The free body diagram for the book is represented as follows:

1 - The weight of the book acting downward

2 - The normal force exerted by the shelf upward on the book.

As the book remains stationary, these two forces balance each other, and in accordance with Newton's Third Law, the reactive force equivalent to gravity is opposite and equal to the weight of the book. This reaction force prevents the book from falling off the shelf.

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.
Ostrovityanka [942]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

m_i = Ice mass = 50 g

T_i = Initial temperature of water and aluminum = 30°C

L_f = Latent heat of fusion = 3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C

m_w = Water mass = 200 g

c_w = Water's specific heat = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

m_{Al} = Aluminum mass = 80 g

c_{Al} = Aluminum's specific heat = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation governing heat exchange in the system is presented by

m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C

The final equilibrium temperature calculates to 9.50022°C
