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

The gas pressure inside a container decreases when
avanturin [10]

Answer:

When the volume increases or when the temperature decreases

Explanation:

The ideal gas equation states that:

pV= nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles of gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

Assuming that we have a fixed amount of gas, so n is constant, we can rewrite the equation as

\frac{pV}{T}=const.

which means the following:

- Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume: this means that the pressure decreases when the volume increases

- Pressure is directly proportional to the temperature: this means that the pressure decreases when the temperature decreases

neonofarm [45]
I know I'm a bit late but just in case you still need some of the answers.

1: Oxygen
2: Change in shape
3: Water breaking down into hydrogen and oxygen
4: I think it's Milk but I might be wrong.

I might be wrong about some of them, sorry it's not much.

c. A car was running with a velocity of 20m/s. what will be its velocity after 30s if it's acceleration is 5m/s2​
weqwewe [10]

\large \mathfrak{Solution : }

let's use first equation of motion to solve this ;

  • \boxed{ \boxed{ v = u + at}}

  • v = 20 + (5 \times 30)

  • v = 20 + 150

  • v = 170 \:  \: m/s

Velocity after 30 seconds = 170 m/s
