The speed of your automobile has a huge effect on fuel consumption. Traveling at 65 miles per hour (mph) instead of 55 mph can consume almost 20% more fuel. As a general rule, for every mile per hour over 55, you lose 2% in fuel economy. For example, if your automobile gets 30 miles per gallon at 55 mph, the fuel consumption is 21 miles per gallon at 70 mph. If you take a 400-mile trip and your average speed is 80 mph rather than the posted speed limit of 70 mph, what is the extra cost of fuel if gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon? Your car gets 30 miles per gallon (mpg) at 60 mph.
In a horizontal tube, its initial section is A1 = 800 cm2 , which reduces to A2 = 600 cm2 at the end of the tube. The mass amount is 0.1 slug/s of air (p = 1.25 kg/s). Assuming ideal fluid flow and steady state, calculate the pressure difference between A1 and A2.
Answer:p1 - p2 = 1.75 kgf/m2
Two objects form a system. The mass of object 1 is 3 times more massive than the mass of object 2:
m₁ =
3m₂. At a certain instant, object 1 is at location (10,-8,6) m, moving with velocity (4,6, -2) m/s.
At the same instant, object 2 is at location (3,0, -2) m, moving with velocity (-8,2,7) m/s.
a.
What is the location of the center of mass?
b. What is the velocity of the center of mass?
