Water is circulating through a closed system of pipes in a two-floor apartment. On the first floor, the water has a gauge pressu

re of 4.5 × 105 Pa and a speed of 2.3 m/s. However, on the second floor, which is 4.0 m higher, the speed of the water is 4.4 m/s. The speeds are different because the pipe diameters are different. What is the gauge pressure of the water on the second floor?

Answer:

the gauge pressure of the water on the second floor is Pg2 = 403765 Pa = 4.03 * 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

According to Bernoulli's equation ( conservation of mechanical energy, therefore we neglect the friction inside the pipes)

P1 + ρ*g*h1 + 1/2*ρ*v1² = P2 + ρ*g*h2 + 1/2*ρ*v2²

where ρ= density of water , h=height , P= absolute pressure, g= gravity ( 9.8 m/s²)

since the gauge pressure Pg is

Pg = P - Pa (atmospheric pressure)

Pg1 +Pa + ρ*g*h1 + 1/2*ρ*v1² = Pg2 + Pa + ρ*g*h2 + 1/2*ρ*v2²

Pg1 + ρ*g*h1 + 1/2*ρ*v1² = Pg2 + ρ*g*h2 + 1/2*ρ*v2²

since our reference point to measure heights can be chosen, we choose h1=0 and h2= 4m. Thus

Pg1 + 1/2*ρ*v1² = Pg2 + ρ*g*h2 + 1/2*ρ*v2²

therefore

Pg2 = Pg1 + 1/2*ρ*v1² -ρ*g*h2 - 1/2*ρ*v2² =  Pg1 -ρ*g*h2 -1/2*ρ*(v2²-v1²)

replacing values and assuming ρ=1000 kg/m³

Pg2 = Pg1 -ρ*g*h2 -1/2*ρ*(v2²-v1²) = 4.5 * 10⁵ Pa - 1000kg/m³*9.8 m/s²*4m -1/2* 1000 kg/m³ * [(4.4 m/s)² - (2.3 m/s)² ] = 403765 Pa = 4.03 * 10⁵ Pa

Pg2 =4.03 * 10⁵ Pa

Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less thanthat o
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

41.4 g

41.4 cm³

1.08695 g/cm³

Explanation:

\rho = Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of water displaced will be the difference of the

m=45-3.6\\\Rightarrow m=41.4\ g

Mass of water displaced is 41.4 g

Density is given by

\rho=\dfrac{m}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{41.4}{1}\\\Rightarrow v=41.4\ cm^3

So, volume of bone is 41.4 cm³

Average density of the bird is given by

\rho=\dfrac{45}{41.4}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.08695\ g/cm^3

The average density is 1.08695 g/cm³

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?
disa [49]
Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or <span>up-thrust.  Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object.  Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).</span>

A mother pushes a baby stroller 10 meters by applying 40 newtons of force. how much work was done?
topjm [15]
Based on the situation above the the work done was 400 Joules. <span>Q = FS cos(theta) is the so-called work function. It's important to learn the work physics; you'll see it over and over in science/physics class. Theta is the angle between the force vector F and the distance vector S. In your problem we assume theta = 0, the two vectors were assumed aligned.</span>
