Please provide a quick explanation thanks! 1. Each molecule of a system has a certain quantity of mass, thermal energy, or momentum associated with it. 2. Momentum transport in a fluid depends bulk movement of molecules and not on individual molecule of the system. 3. At same mass, the momentum of a molecule is greater than the other molecules if it has less velocity?arrow_forwardQ\. The first law of thermodynamics involves three main components, if we know the behavior of two components, estimate the behavior of the third component. ( Conclusion ) : a.

- Newton's second law of motion leads to: the rate of change of linear momentum is equal to the applied moment the rate of change of linear momentum is equal to the applied force the rate of change of angular momentum is equal to the applied force the mass times acceleration of a particle is equal to the applied forcearrow_forward3.) A 5kg cannonball was dropped (from rest) from a height of 10m above the ground. What is the velocity of the dumbbell as it hits the ground? Here, we assume that there is no air resistance. *Hint: You can set the ground level to be y = 0. Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy: "The initial mechanical energy is equivalent to the final mechanical energy i.e., the mechanical energy is constant in the absence of any dissipative force such as friction or air resistance." 1 mgy; + mv? = mgy, + mvž 1 mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy = mgy + mv2 m g = magnitude of acceleration due to gravity = 9.81- s2 Yi = initial height Yf = final heightarrow_forwardFrom the image below, and using the given datum, match the variable expressions to their position coordinates, SA, SB and SC, where s A is for block A, $3 is for pulley B, and so is for pulley C.

- Specific fuel consumption of a four-stroke internal combustion engine at a given rotational speed is 0.322 kg/kW-h value is minimum. Spindle power at this rotation rate is 123 kW, volumetric efficiency is 95% and air-fuel rate is 15. The number of rotations of this engine is calculated by subtracting 1.5 from the number of rotations giving the minimum specific fuel consumption. time, spindle power 162 kW, specific fuel consumption 0.394 kg/kW-h and volumetric efficiency 85%. a) Calculate the air-fuel ratio in this case. and By what percent has the efficiency of the engine changed?arrow_forward2.

To help prevent frost damage, fruit growers sometimes protect their crop by spraying it with water when overnight temperatures are expected to go below freezing. When the water turns to ice during the night, heat is released into the plants, thereby giving a measure of protection against the cold. Suppose a grower sprays 7.2 kg of water at 0 °C onto a fruit tree. (a) How much heat is released by the water when it freezes? (b) How much would the temperature of a 180-kg tree rise if it absorbed the heat released in part (a)? Assume that the specific heat capacity of the tree isarrow_forwardTheorem 6.5.1. Newton's Law of Cooling. The temperature T at a time x of a cooling object follows the function T=A+Be^kx A is the ambient (or room) temperature. B and k are constants that depend on the object. Suppose a forensics technician arrived at a murder scene and recorded the temperature of the surroundings as well as the body. The technician decides it is fair to assume that the room temperature has been holding steady at about 68 °F. A thermometer was placed in the liver of the corpse and the following table of values was recorded. Table 6.5.2.
