The volume flow rate of the water supplied by a well is 2.0×10−4m3/s.The well is 40.0 m deep. (a) What is the power output of th

e pump-in other words, at what rate does the well do work on the water? (b) Find the pressure difference the pump must maintain. (c) Can the pump be at the top of the well or must it be at the bottom? Explain.

Answer:

a). $P=78.4W$

b). $P=392kPa$

c.) It must be at the bottom

Explanation:

Given:

Volume flow $V_f=2.0x10^{-4}m^3/s$

Well depp $h=40.m$

a.

The power output of the pum

$W=F*d$

$F=m*g$

$m=p*V=1000kg/m^3*2.0x10^{-4}m^3}=0.2Kg$

$W=m*g*d=0.2kg*9.8m/s^2*40.0m=78.4kg*m^2/s^2$

$W=78.4J$

$P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{78.4J}{1s}=78.4W$

b.

The pressure of difference the pum

Δ $P=p*g*y'$

Δ $P=1000kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2*40.0m=392x10^3Pa$

$P=392kPa$

c.

It must be at the bottom since the pressure difference is greater than atmospheric pressure, so it wouldn't be able to lift the water all the way

Two identical circular, wire loops 35.0 cm in diameter each carry a current of 2.80 A in the same direction. These loops are par

defon

Answer:

The answer is " $4659.2 \times 10^{-24} \ N$ "

Explanation:

The magnetic field at ehe mid point of the coils is,

$\to B=\frac{\mu_0 i R^2}{(R^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\\\\$

Here, i is the current through the loop, R is the radius of the loop and x is the distance of the midpoint from the loop.

$\to B=\frac{(4\pi\times 10^{-7})(2.80\ A) (\frac{0.35}{2})^2}{( (\frac{0.35}{2})^2+ (\frac{0.24}{2})^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\\\\$

$=\frac{(12.56 \times 10^{-7})(2.80\ A) \times 0.030625}{( 0.030625+ 0.0144)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\\\\=\frac{ 1.07702 \times 10^{-7} }{0.0095538976}\\\\=112.730955 \times 10^{-7}\\\\=1.12\times 10^{-5}\ \ T\\$

Calculating the force experienced through the protons:

$F=qvB=(1.6 \times 10^{-19}) (2600)(1.12 \times 10^{-5})= 4659.2 \times 10^{-24}\ N$

Spitting cobras can defend themselves by squeezing muscles around their venom glands to squirt venom at an attacker. Suppose a s

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: 1.289 m

Explanation:

The path the cobra's venom follows since it is spitted until it hits the ground, is described by a parabola. Hence, the equations for parabolic motion (which has two components) can be applied to solve this problem:

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$x$ is the horizontal distance traveled by the venom

$V_{o}=3.10 m/s$ is the venom's initial speed

$\theta=47\°$ is the angle

$t$ is the time since the venom is spitted until it hits the ground

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=0.44 m$ is the initial height of the venom

$y=0$ is the final height of the venom (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Let's begin with (2) to find the time it takes the complete path:

$0=0.44 m+3.10 m/s sin\theta(47\°)+\frac{-9.8m/s^{2} t^{2}}{2}$ (3)

Rewritting (3):

$-4.9 m/s^{2} t^{2} + 2.267 m/s t + 0.44 m=0$ (4)

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (5)

Where:

$a=-4.9 m/s^{2$

$b=2.267 m/s$

$c=0.44 m$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-2.267 \pm \sqrt{2.267^{2}-4(-4.9)(0.44)}}{2(-4.9)}$ (6)

Solving (6) we find the positive result is:

$t=0.609 s$ (7)

Substituting (7) in (1):

$x=(3.10 m/s)cos(47\°)(0.609 s)$ (8)

We finally find the horizontal distance traveled by the venom:

$x=1.289 m$

<span>Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions. 1. slows down neutrons moderator - This is the substance that slows down fast neutrons and makes them slow neutrons which are easier to capture by the atomic nuclei so that the fission reaction can continue. 2. absorb emitted neutrons control rods - These are rods made up of a substance that easily absorbs neutrons. Their purpose is to slow down or shut down the reaction. 3. mass of unstable atoms nuclear fuel - The entire point of a nuclear reactor is the capture the energy released by the fission of unstable atoms. So this mass of unstable atoms is the fuel for the nuclear reactor. 4. concrete and lead enclosure shield - This is the enclosure that prevents radiation from escaping into the general environment. 5. energy transfer medium coolant - Since the purpose of a nuclear reactor is to generate usable energy, the coolant extracts heat from the fissioning core and that heat is generally used to boil water which in turn is used to operate turbines that power electrical generators.</span>
