9. There are 9.5 lbs of brass with specific heat of 0.095 BTU/lbm-ºR at a temperature of 295ºF being dropped into 2.95 gallons of water at 95ºF. Compute the resultant temperature of the mixture in degrees F.
Posted below is a picture of a data table and a diagram of an experiment. In the experiment you rolled a marble down a ruler ramp off the end of a coffee table to observe projectiles and conservation of energy. You do 3 trials for each initial height. Each height is measured in meters.
h= initial height of marble off of table
Y= height of table off floor
X= horizontal distance marble goes from edge of table to where it strikes the floor
a) use the table to find information you need to solve for theoretical range and % of error in measured range.

- Seawater can be purified by distillation into potable water. If it costs 15 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy, what is the cost of energy to produce 100.0 gallons of drinking water at 100.0 ˚C if the seawater starts at 25.00 ˚C? (1 watt × 1 second = 1 joule). Enter your answer to the nearest penny.arrow_forwardOn an alien planet, the law that expresses the flow of blood through a blood vessel, F, as a function of the radius r of the vessel is f=kr5/2where k is a constant. Certain geological features of this planet produce a gas that changes the radius of blood vessels by 5% at the time of inhalation. What would the corresponding increase in blood flow through the vessel at this time be?

In U.S. customary units it is calculated by: BMI = 703" %D where W is the person's weight in pounds and h is the heights in inches. Write a MATLAB program in a script file that calculates the BMI. For input the program asks the user to enter his/her weight and height. The pro- gram then calculates the BMI rounded to the nearest tenth. For output the program displays the message: "The BMI is: XX." where XX is the value of the BMI. Determine the BMI of a 68-in.-tall person that weigh162 lb.arrow_forward
- For Questions 3 and 4: A cup of water was heated to a temperature of 90°. It was placed in a refrigerator that had a temperature of 11°C. The water cooled to a temperature of 17°C in 30 minutes. Let the following variables represent the relevant quantities. L = Temperature of the liquid S= Temperature of the surroundings t = Time B = Initial temperature of the liquid (Temperature at t = 0 k = Cooling constant 3. Using the Equation Solver, find the value of k in the equation L = (B - S)e -kt + S.

A pump operated by an electric motor is designed to deliver 120 liters per second of diesel fuel (SG = 0.82) with a pump efficiency of 82%. The suction pressure gage reads 12 psi, 28.0 inches above the pump centerline and a discharge pressure gage of 28 psi, 12 feet above the pump centerline. The diameter at the suction and discharge of the pipe are 8.2 in and 4.8 in, respectively. If the friction losses are accounted to 28% of the velocity head, determine and the motor efficiency (%). The power needed to operate the motor is 30 kW.arrow_forwardQ1. 1) The missile at point A takes off from rest and rises vertically to point B after 6.7 seconds, where its fuel runs out. During this time the acceleration of the missile is a = (C.t) m/s², where C = 3.4 is a constant and tis time in s. (Hint, this expression of acceleration already takes into consideration of gravity.) Then by internal controls the missile tilts to an angle = 40° as shown, while keeping the speed, vg, it has attained, and from there it travels in free flight until it lands on the ground at point D. Determine the missile's height he (in m) at point B. Your answer must include 1 place after the decimal point. Take g = 9.81 m/s². C B hB hc R- Darrow_forward
