<span>There is six horizen. 1. O Horizon - The top, organic layer of soil, 2. A Horizon - The layer called topsoil; 3. E Horizon - This layer is beneath the A Horizon and above the B Horizon. It is made up mostly of sand. 4. B Horizon - Also called the subsoil - this layer is beneath the E Horizon and above the C Horizon. 5. C Horizon - it's called regolith: the layer beneath the B Horizon and above the R Horizon. 6 R Horizon - this is last and the unweathered rock layer that is beneath all the other layers.</span>

The aqueduct passes under Johnson Road in Lancaster through a siphon. The maximum capacity of the aqueduct is 350 m3/s. The heig
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

D ≈ 8.45 m

L ≈ 100.02 m

Explanation:

Given

Q = 350 m³/s (volumetric water flow rate passing through the stretch of channel, maximum capacity of the aqueduct)

y₁ - y₂ = h = 2.00 m (the height difference from the upper to the lower channels)

x = 100.00 m (distance between the upper and the lower channels)

We assume that:

  • the upper and the lower channels are at the same pressure (the atmospheric pressure).
  • the velocity of water in the upper channel is zero (v₁ = 0 m/s).
  • y₁ = 2.00 m  (height of the upper channel)
  • y₂ = 0.00 m  (height of the lower channel)
  • g = 9.81 m/s²
  • ρ = 1000 Kg/m³ (density of water)

We apply Bernoulli's equation as follows between the point 1 (the upper channel) and the point 2 (the lower channel):

P₁ + (ρ*v₁²/2) + ρ*g*y₁ = P₂ + (ρ*v₂²/2) + ρ*g*y₂

Plugging the known values into the equation and simplifying we get

Patm + (1000 Kg/m³*(0 m/s)²/2) + (1000 Kg/m³)*(9.81 m/s²)*(2 m) = Patm + (1000 Kg/m³*v₂²/2) + (1000 Kg/m³)*(9.81 m/s²)*(0 m)

⇒ v₂ = 6.264 m/s

then we apply the formula

Q = v*A  ⇒   A = Q/v ⇒   A = Q/v₂

⇒   A = (350 m³/s)/(6.264 m/s)

⇒   A = 55.873 m²

then, we get the diameter of the pipe as follows

A = π*D²/4   ⇒   D = 2*√(A/π)

⇒   D = 2*√(55.873 m²/π)

⇒   D = 8.434 m ≈ 8.45 m

Now, the length of the pipe can be obtained as follows

L² = x² + h²

⇒ L² = (100.00 m)² + (2.00 m)²

⇒ L ≈ 100.02 m

You have been assigned to investigate a traffic accident. The masses of car A and car B are 1300 kg and 1200 kg, respectively. C
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The velocity of A before impact = 17.90 m/s

Explanation:

Coefficient of restitution = (speed of seperation)/(speed of approach)

= (v₁ - v₂)/(u₂ - u₁)

where v₁ = velocity of the car A after the impact = ?

v₂ = velocity of the car B after the impact = ?

u₂ = velocity of the car B before the impact = 0 m/s (it was initially at rest)

u₁ = velocity of car A before the impact = ?

First of, we can solve for v₂, the velocity of car B after the impact, from some of the information given in the question.

- Skid marks indicate car B slid 10 m after the impact

- The coefficient of kinetic friction the tires and road is 0.8.

According to the work energy theorem, the work done by frictional force in stopping the car B is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car B. (All after collision)

W = ΔK.E

ΔK.E = (1/2)(1200)(v₂²) - 0 (final kinetic energy is 0 since the car comes to stop eventually)

ΔK.E = (600v₂²) J

W = F × d

where F = frictional force = μmg = 0.8×1300×9.8 = 10,192 N

d = distance the car skids over before stopping = 10 m

W = 10,192 × 10 = 101,920 J

W = ΔK.E

101,920 = 600v₂²

v₂² = (101920/600) = 169.867

v₂ = 13.03 m/s

But recall,

Coefficient of restitution = (v₁ - v₂)/(u₂ - u₁)

For the sake of convention, we take the direction of car A's initial velocity to be the positive direction.

u₁ = ?

u₂ = 0 m/s

v₁ = ?

v₂ = +13.03 m/s

Coefficient of restitution = 0.4

0.4 = (v₁ - 13.03)/(0 - u₁)

-0.4u₁ = v₁ - 13.03

v₁ = 13.03 - 0.4u₁

But this is a collision. In a collision, the linear momentum is usually conserved.

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

1300u₁ + (1200×0) = 1300v₁ + (1200×13.03)

1300u₁ + 0 = 1300v₁ + 15639.95

1300u₁ = 1300v₁ + 15639.95

But recall, from the coefficient of restitution relation,

v₁ = 13.03 - 0.4u₁

Substituting this into the momentum balance equation.

1300u₁ = 1300v₁ + 15639.95

1300u₁ = 1300(13.03 - 0.4u₁) + 15639.95

1300u₁ = 16943.28 - 520u₁ + 15639.95

1820u₁ = 32,583.23

u₁ = (32,583.23/1820)

u₁ = 17.90 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of A before impact = 17.90 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!
