Answer:

Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction

Explanation:

The projectile motion is described by the kinematics equations giving a parabolic trajectory, where on the x axis there is no acceleration and on the y axis the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity.

When the air resistance is taken into account it can be approximated as a force that opposes the movement that for low speeds is proportional to the speed of the space.

Consequently, the movement in the axis and the acceleration is less, in some cases it can be so small that the constant handle speed, in this case, is called terminal velocity.

On the x-axis the friction force creates an acceleration in the negative direction of the movement that the projectile has to brake.

Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction.

Answer:

a-1 Graph is attached. The relation is linear.

a-2 The corresponding height for 68 kPa Pressure is 7.54 m

a-3 The corresponding weight for 68 kPa Pressure is 1394726kg

b The original height of the column is 5.98 m

Explanation:

Part a

a-1

The graph is attached with the solution. The relation is linear as indicated by the line.

a-2

By the equation

$P=\rho \times g \times h$

Here

P is the pressure which is given as 68 kPa.
ρ is the density of the oil whose SG is 0.92. It is calculated as

$\rho=S.G \times \rho_{water}\\\rho=0.92 \times 1000 kg/m^3\\\rho=920 kg/m^3\\$

g is the gravitational constant whose value is 9.8 m/s^2
h is the height which is to be calculated

$P=\rho \times g \times h\\h=\frac{P}{\rho \times g}\\h=\frac{68 \times 10^3}{920 \times 9.8}\\h=7.54m$

So the height of column is 7.54m

a-3

By the relation of volume and density

$M=\rho \times V$

Here

ρ is the density of the oil which is 920 kg/m^3
V is the volume of cylinder with diameter 16m calculated as follows

$V=\pi r^2h\\V=3.14\times (8)^2 \times 7.54\\V=1515.23 m^3$

Mass is given as

$M=\rho \times V\\M=920 \times 1515.23\\M=1394726kg$

So the mass of oil leading to 68kPa is 1394726kg

Part b

Pressure variation is given as

$\Delta P=P_{obs}-P_{atm}\\\Delta P=115-101 kPa\\\Delta P=14 kPa\\$

Now corrected pressure is as

$P_c=P_g-\Delta P\\P_c=68-14 kPa\\P_c=54 kPa$

Finding the value of height for this corrected pressure as

$P_c=\rho \times g \times h\\h=\frac{P_c}{\rho \times g}\\h=\frac{54 \times 10^3}{920 \times 9.8}\\h=5.98m$

The original height of column is 5.98m

You are traveling on an interstate highway at the posted speed limit of 70 mph when you see that the traffic in front of you has

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:8.75 s,

136.89 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity $=70 mph\approx 31.29 m/s$

velocity after 5 s is $30 mph\approx 13.41 m/s$

Therefore acceleration during these 5 s

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\frac{13.41-31.29}{5}=-3.576 m/s^2$

therefore time required to stop

v=u+at

here v=final velocity =0 m/s

initial velocity =31.29 m/s

$0=31.29-3.576\times t$

$t=\frac{31.29}{3.576}=8.75 s$

(b)total distance traveled before stoppage

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$0^2-31.29^2=2\times (-3.576)\cdot s$

s=136.89 m

a liquid reactant is pumped through a horizontal, cylindrical, catalytic bed. The catalyst particles are spherical, 2mm in diame

natulia [17]

Answer:

The upper limit on the flow rate = 39.46 ft³/hr

Explanation:

Using Ergun Equation to calculate the pressure drop across packed bed;

we have:

$\frac{\delta P}{L}= \frac{150 \mu_oU(1- \epsilon )^2}{d^2p \epsilon^3} + \frac{1.75 \rho U^2(1-\epsilon)}{dp \epsilon^3}$

where;

L = length of the bed

$\mu$ = viscosity

U = superficial velocity

$\epsilon$ = void fraction

dp = equivalent spherical diameter of bed material (m)

$\rho$ = liquid density (kg/m³)

However, since U ∝ Q and all parameters are constant ; we can write our equation to be :

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

where;

ΔP = pressure drop

Q = flow rate

Given that:

9.6 = A12 + B12²

Then

12A + 144B = 9.6 -------------- equation (1)

24A + 576B = 24.1 --------------- equation (2)

Using elimination methos; from equation (1); we first multiply it by 2 and then subtract it from equation 2 afterwards ; So

288 B = 4.9

B = 0.017014

From equation (1)

12A + 144B = 9.6

12A + 144(0.017014) = 9.6

12 A = 9.6 - 144(0.017014)

$A = \frac{9.6 -144(0.017014}{12}$

A = 0.5958

Thus;

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

Given that ΔP = 50 psi

Then

50 = 0.5958 Q + 0.017014 Q²

Dividing by the smallest value and then rearranging to a form of quadratic equation; we have;

Q² + 35.02Q - 2938.8 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation and taking consideration of the positive value for the upper limit of the flow rate ;

Q = 39.46 ft³/hr
