013 Indianapolis 500 champion Tony Kanaan holds his hand out of his IndyCar while driving through still air with standard atmosp

heric conditions. (a) For safety, the pit lane speed limit is 60 mph. At this speed, what is the maximum pressure on his hand? (b) Back on the race track, what is the maximum pressure when he is driving his IndyCar at 225 mph? (c) On the straightaways, the IndyCar reaches speeds in excess of 235 mph. For this speed, is your solution method for parts (a and (b) reasonable? Explain.

Answer:

a) 14.76 psi

b) 15.59 psi

c) 15.68 psi

d) The solution method is reasonable

Explanation:

The formula for maximum pressure is given as using Bernoulli's Equation :

Pmax = p + 1/2ρV²

Where ρ = Density = 0.002376slug per cubic foot

p = Atmospheric pressure in pounds per cubic foot = 14.6959 pounds per square inch

Converting pounds per square inch to pounds per square foot

= 1 pounds per square inch = 144 pounds per square foot

14.6959 pounds per square inch =

14.6959 pounds per square inch × 144 pounds per square foot

= 2116.2096 pounds per square foot

V = Velocity of the flow = Speed limit.

(a) For safety, the pit lane speed limit is 60 mph. At this speed, what is the maximum pressure on his hand?

Our speed limit is 60 mph

We convert to ft/s

1 mph = 1.46667 ft/s

60 mph =

60 mph × 1.46667 ft/s = 88 ft/s

Pmax = p + 1/2ρV²

Pmax = 2116.2096 + (0.5 × 0.002376 × 88²)

Pmax = = 2125.409472 Ib/ft² =

Converting to psi.

= 2125.409472/144

= 14.759788 psi

≈ 14.76 psi

(b) Back on the race track, what is the maximum pressure when he is driving his IndyCar at 225 mph?

Our speed limit is 225 mph

We convert to ft/s

1 mph = 1.46667 ft/s

225 mph =

225 mph × 1.46667 ft/s = 330 ft/s

Pmax = p + 1/2ρV²

Pmax = 2116.2096 + (0.5 × 0.002376 × 330²)

Pmax = 2245.5828 Ib/ft² =

Converting to psi.

= 2245.5828/144

= 15.594325 psi

≈ 15.59 psi

(c) On the straightaways, the IndyCar reaches speeds in excess of 235 mph.

Our speed limit is 235 mph

We convert to ft/s

1 mph = 1.46667 ft/s

235 mph =

235 mph × 1.46667 ft/s = 344.667 ft/s

Pmax = p + 1/2ρV²

Pmax = 2116.2096 + (0.5 × 0.002376 × 344.667²)

Pmax = = 2257.338465 Ib/ft² =

Converting to psi.

= 2257.3384654/144

= 15.675961562 psi

≈ 15.68 psi

d) For this speed, is your solution method for parts (a and (b) reasonable? Explain.

It is important to note that: the value of 1 atmosphere = 14.696 psi

If we look at the solution above, we can see that the maximum pressure of the speeds in question a, b, c which are: 14.76 psi, 15.59 psi, 15.68 psi respectfully are just a little bit outside the range of 1 atmosphere.

Hence, this is not significant enough to cause damage or harm the hands of Tony Kanaan therefore, my solution method for parts (a and (b) reasonable is reasonable.

The weight of a block on the inclined plane is 500 N and the angle of incline is 30 degrees. What is the magnitude of the force
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

250 N

433 N

Explanation:

N = Normal force by the surface of the inclined plane

W = Weight of the block = 500 N

f = static frictional force acting on the block

Parallel to incline, force equation is given as

f = W Sin30

f = (500) Sin30

f = 250 N

Perpendicular to incline force equation is given  

N = W Cos30

N = (500) Cos30

N = 433 N

You have 2 objects flying towards you. One of them is havier with lower velocity and the other one is lighter but has higher vel
Lerok [7]

Answer: I would say the object with the Lower velocity because Lighter with Higher velocity makes it heavy, velocity is how heavy something is so the lighter it is the less difficult it will be to catch.
