While dangling a hairdryer by its cord, you observe that the cord is vertical when the hairdryer isoff and, once it is turned on

, the hairdryer moves to the right and comes to rest when the cordmakes an angle of 5 degrees with the vertical, as shown below. In a different experiment, you determine that the same hairdryer is pushing 0.06 m3 of air through itself every two seconds. The mass ofthe hairdryer is 420 g. Determine the speed of the air leaving the hairdryer, v air. Assume that themass of 1 m3 air is 1.2 kg and that the hairdryer is blowing air perpendicular to the wire.

Answer:

The air exiting from the hairdryer is moving at a speed of 10 m/s.

Explanation:

The thrust generated by the hairdryer enables it to maintain an elevation angled at 5° from vertical; thus, we derive from the force diagram

$(1).\: tan (5^o) = \dfrac{F_t}{Mg}$

by substituting $M =0.420kg$ , $g = 9.8m/s^2$ into the equation and resolving for $F_t$ we find:

$F_t = Mg\:tan(5^o)$

$F_t = (0.420kg)(9.8m/s^2)\:tan(5^o)$

$\boxed{F_t = 0.3601N.}$

This thrust is linked to the speed of air ejection $v$ through the equation

$(2).\: F_t = v\dfrac{dM}{dt}$

where $dM/dt$ signifies the rate of air ejection, which is known to be

$0.06m^3/2s = 0.03m^3/s$

and since $1m^3 = 1.2kg$ ,

$0.03m^3/s \rightarrow 0.036kg/s$

$\dfrac{dM}{dt} = 0.036kg/s,$

by inserting these values into equation (2), we obtain the value of $F_t$ as:

$0.3601N = 0.036v$

resulting in

$v= \dfrac{0.3601}{0.036}$

$\boxed{v =10m/s.}$

which indicates the air velocity discharged from the hairdryer.

kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

The correct response is:

1. KE Increases, PE Increases, ME Increases.

Explanation:

In this context, kinetic energy refers to the energy associated with an object's motion. Kinetic energy can be defined as the energy required to accelerate a mass from rest to a specified velocity, which it maintains once that speed is reached:

KE = 1/2 mv².

This definition indicates that KE is on the rise.

Potential energy is the energy stored in a body due to its position in a gravitational field:

PE = mgh,

which increases as the object is elevated against gravitational pull.

Since both kinetic and potential energies are increasing, it follows that the total mechanical energy (ME) is also rising:

ME = PE + KE.

A positive point charge q is placed at the center of an uncharged metal sphere insulated from the ground. The outside of the sph

Softa [3030]

B. The charge on A is -q; B has no charge. Given that a positive charge is situated at the center of an uncharged metallic sphere which is insulated and disconnected from the ground, a negative charge (-q) will appear on the inner surface A of the sphere. Should the exterior surface B be grounded, it will become neutral, resulting in no charge remaining on surface B.

In mammals, the weight of the heart is approximately 0.5% of the total body weight. Write a linear model that gives the heart we

Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

The typical weight of a human heart is approximately 0.93 lbs.

Explanation:

Based on this,

the heart's weight constitutes about 0.5% of total body mass.

Total human weight = 185 lbs

Let the entire body weight be represented as w and the heart's weight as $w_{h}$ .

We aim to determine the heart's weight for a human

Using the provided information

$w_{h}=0.5\times w$

Where, h = heart weight

w = human weight

$w_{h}=\dfrac{0.5}{100}\times 185$

$w_{h}=0.93\ lbs$

The final weight of a human heart is 0.93 lbs.

The nine ring wraiths want to fly from barad-dur to rivendell. rivendell is directly north of barad-dur. the dark tower reports

kicyunya [3294]

To counteract a 58 mph crosswind, the western component of the trajectory must be accounted for. Consequently, directing towards the northwest creates a 45-degree angle, aligning with the destination. This triangle's third vertex is located at the destination, with the right angle positioned there. The western aspect of their flight represents the triangle's base, while the vertical side reflects the resultant path, and the hypotenuse indicates the actual distance traveled. Since the 58 mph crosswind was countered by flying in a northwest direction, the distance from the starting point to the destination should equal the westward segment of their journey. The hypotenuse can be determined via the square root of twice the dimension of the identical sides.
c = sqrt (58^2 + 58^2) = sqrt (6728) = 82.02

An alternative method:

c = sqrt (2) * 58 = 1.414 * 58 = 82.02

Thus, they must fly at 82.02 mph.

A fan that is switched on for 1 minute uses 500 W usefully but also wastes 300 W through the emission of sound and heat. What's

Ostrovityanka [3204]

Explanation:

Efficiency can be expressed as the ratio of useful output to the total power consumed. $E = \frac{useful}{total}$

The fan delivers 500W as useful output while wasting 300W. Thus, the overall power consumed equals 800W (500 + 300).
