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 distance from earth to mars ranges between 780,000,000 km and 380,000,000 km depending on the time of the year. The speed of
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The minimum time, t = 21.11 m

Explanation:

Given,

The maximum distance between the Earth and Mars, d = 780,000,000 km

The maximum distance between the Earth and Mars, d = 780,000,000 km

The speed of the light, c = 300,000 km/s

The distance and speed of the object is related using the formula,

                           v = d / t

                            t = d / v

The minimum time it takes for data transmission is when the distance between the Mars and the Earth is at minimum.

Therefore,

                            t = 380,000,000 km / 300,000 km/s

                              = 1266.67 s

                              = 21.11 minutes

Hence, the minimum time it takes for data transmitted by the Mars Surveyor to reach earth, t = 21.11 minutes

A heat engine does 9200 J of work per cycle while absorbing 22.0 kcal of heat from a hightemperature reservoir. What is the effi
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: 9.9%

Explanation: efficiency = (work output /work input) × 100

Note that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules, hence 22kcal = 22× 4184 = 92048 joules.

Work output = 9200 j and work input = 92048 j

Efficiency = (9200/92048) × 100 = 0.099 × 100 = 9.9%

An automobile moves on a level horizontal road in a circle of radius 30 m. The coefficient of
blondinia [14]

Answer:

v = 12.12 m/s      

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circle, r = 30 m

The coefficient friction between tires and road is 0.5,

The centripetal force is balanced by the force of friction such that,

v = 12.12 m/s

So, the maximum speed with which this car can round this curve is 12.12 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
