It is less dense than the water above it and so it the heated less dense water rises upwards to replace the denser water and the denser water falls below to the heating element below, and this also becomes less dense and the circle continues, thus setting up the convection current.

Similar principle is applied in convection current for land and sea breezes.

Assuming that Bernoulli's equation applies, compute the volume of water ΔV that flows across the exit of the pipe in 1.00 s . In
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

discharge rate (Q) = 0.2005 m^{3} / s

Explanation:

if you read the question you would see that some requirements are missing, by using search engines, you can get the complete question as stated below:

Water flows steadily from an open tank as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) The elevation of point 1 is 10.0m , and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m . The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 4.80x10-2m ; at point 3, where the water is discharged, it is 1.60x10-2m. The cross-sectional area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Part A Assuming that Bernoulli's equation applies, compute the volume of water DeltaV that flows across the exit of the pipe in 1.00 s . In other words, find the discharge rate \Delta V/Delta t. Express your answer numerically in cubic meters per second.

solution:

time = 1 s

elevation of point 1 (z1) = 10 m

elevation of point 2 (z2) = 2 m

elevation of point 3 (z3) = 2 m

cross section area of point 2 = 4.8 x 10^{2} m

cross section area of point 3 = 1.6 x 10^{2} m

g

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the discharge rate at point 3 which is the exit pipe.

discharge rate (Q) = A3 x V3

where A3 is the cross sectional area at point 3 and V3 is the velocity of the fluid and can be gotten by applying Bernoulli's equation below

\frac{P1}{ρg} +  \frac{V1^{2} }{2g} + Z1 =  \frac{P3}{ρg} + \frac{V3^{2} }{2g} + Z3

pressure at point 1 (P1) is the same as pressure at point 3 (P3), and at point 1, the velocity (V1) = 0. therefore the equation now becomes

\frac{P1}{ρg} + Z1 =  \frac{P1}{ρg} + \frac{V3^{2} }{2g} + Z3

Z1 = \frac{V3^{2} }{2g} + Z3

V3 = \sqrt{2g(Z1-Z3)}

V3 = \sqrt{2 x 9.8 x (10 - 3)}

V3 = 12.53 m/s

discharge rate (Q) = A3 x V3 = 1.6 x 10^{-2} x 12.53

discharge rate (Q) = 0.2005 m^{3} / s

A first-order reaction has a rate constant of 0.241/min. if the initial concentration of a is 0.859 m, what is the concentration
nordsb [41]

Answer: 0.077 M

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant = 0.241minute^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = 10 minutes

a = initial amount of the reactant= 0.859 M

a - x = amount left after decay process =?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.241 minutes^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{10.0}\log\frac{0.859}{a-x}

(a-x)=0.077M

Thus the concentration of a after 10.0 minutes is 0.077 M.

Marina CMI [18]
The problem ask to calculate the bullet's flight time and the bullet's speed as it left the barrel. So base on the problem, the answer would be that the flight time is 0.076 seconds and the speed of the bullet is 657.9 m/s. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarifications.
