A large, cylindrical water tank with diameter 2.40 m is on a platform 2.00 m above the ground. The vertical tank is open to the

air and the depth of the water in the tank is 2.00 m. There is a hole with diameter 0.520 cm in the side of the tank just above the bottom of the tank. The hole is plugged with a cork. You remove the cork and collect in a bucket the water that flows out the hole. a) When 1.00 gal of water flows out of the tank, what is the change in the height of the water in the tank?
b) How long does it take you to collect 1.00 gal of water in the bucket?

Answer:

a.  h₁ =0.0008m = 0.8mm is the height of water that flow out

the change in height of water in the tank = h - h₁ = 2 - 0.0008 = 1.9992m

b.    t =31.93 sec

Explanation:

a) When 1.00 gal of water flows out of the tank, what is the change in the height of the water in the tank?

given:,

cylindrical water tank with diameter, D - 2.40 m

the tank is 2.00 m above the ground.

depth of the water in the tank is 2.00 m.

diameter of hole, d - 0.520 cm

firstly, we need to calculate the volume of water in the tank:

Volume = πr²h

              =(pi * D * D)/4  * height of water

              =(3.142 * 2.4 * 2.4)/4  * 2 = 4.52*2 = 9.05m³

1.0 gal of water is equivalent to = 0.0038m³

the volume of 1gal is 0.0038 = A *h

the area of the tank is calculated above as 4.52m²

therefore, 0.0038 = 4.52 *h

                    h₁ =0.0008m = 0.8mm is the height of water that flow out

the change in height of water in the tank = h - h₁ = 2 - 0.0008 = 1.9992m

b) How long does it take you to collect 1.00 gal of water in the bucket?

1.0 gal of water is equivalent to = 0.0038m³

to calculate for Volume flow, Q for a draining tank

       Q = Cd * A *\sqrt{2gH}

where Cd is a discharge coefficient, and is given by 0.9 for water

A is the area of the small hole = (pi * D * D)/4 = (pi * 0.0052 * 0.0052)/4

          A = 0.0000212m²

H= height of the hole from the tank water level= 2m - 0.0052 = 1.9948m

g = 9.8m/s2

 Q = 0.9 * 0.0000212 *\sqrt{2*9.8 * 1.9948}

 Q = 0.0000191 * 6.253 = 0.000119 m³/s

 Q = V/t

 Qt = V

   t = V/Q = 0.0038m³/0.000119 m³/s

   t =31.93 sec

A. Food chain

A food web also shows the flow of energy and materials through an ecosystem but in a complex web, not a single chain. A biogeochemical cycle does not deal with the flow of energy/materials through an ecosystem at all.

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

L_i = L_f

so:

I_mW_m = I_sW_f

where I_m is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, W_m is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, I_s is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and W_f is the final angular velocity.

First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:

I = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(115 kg)(2.5m)^2

I = 359.375 kg*m^2

Where M_m is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round

Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:

W = 0.520*2\pi rad/s

W = 3.2672 rad/s

Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:

I_s = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2+mR^2

I_s = \frac{1}{2}(115kg)(2.5m)^2+(23.5kg)(2.5m)^2

I_s = 506.25kg*m^2

Finally we replace all the data:

(359.375)(3.2672) = (506.25)W_f

Solving for W_f:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

The visible spectrum refers to the tiny portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we ________.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

are able to see/observe

Explanation:

Humans are not able to see most wavelengths in the universe--but there is a select range that is visible to our eyes. This (which is usually shown on an electromagnetic spectrum diagram/chart/depiction by a small portion of rainbow) is the visible light spectrum

A 8.34 × 103-kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

21870.3156 N

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.6 m/s²

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-18.2^2}{2\times 162}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02234\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the craft should be 1.02234 m/s²

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.02234\\\Rightarrow F=8526.3156\ N

Weight of the craft

W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.6\\\Rightarrow W=13344\ N

Thrust

F_t=F+W\\\Rightarrow F_t=8526.3156+13344\\\Rightarrow F_t=21870.3156\ N

The thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface is 21870.3156 N
