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

Which observation would be evidence that heat was transferred by radiation
Masteriza [31]
Radiation is a type of heat transfer wherein there is no need for medium or media through which the heat will flow. Consequently, the radiation waves are able to travel through vacuum. The best observation as evidence to conclude that heat is indeed transferred by radiation is the increase of temperature of the receiving body.

A girl is out jogging at 2.00 m/s and accelerates at 1.50 m/s^2 until she reaches a velocity of 5.00 m/s. How far does she get?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

7.00 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 2.00 m/s

v = 5.00 m/s

a = 1.50 m/s²

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(5.00 m/s)² = (2.00 m/s)² + 2(1.50 m/s²)Δx

Δx = 7.00 m

A net force of 20 N acting on a wooden block produces an
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From the second law of motion:

F = ma

we are given that the force applied on the block is 20N and the block accelerates at an acceleration of 4 m/s/s

So, F=  20N   and  a = 4 m/s/s

Replacing the variables in the equation:

20 = 4* m

m = 20 / 4

m = 5 kg

We are designing a crude propulsion mechanism for a science fair demonstration. One of our team members stands on a skateboardth
Scrat [10]

Answer:

greater speed will be obtained for the elastic collision,

Explanation:

To answer this exercise we must find the speed that the sail acquires after each impact.

Let's start by hitting a ball of clay.

The system is formed by the candle and the clay balls, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved.

initial instant. before the crash

         p₀ = m v₀

where m is the mass of the ball and vo its initial velocity, we are assuming that the candle is at rest

final instant. After the crash

the mass of the candle is M

         p_f = (m + M) v

the moment is preserved

          p₀ = p_f

          m v₀ = (m + M) v

          v = \frac{m}{m+M} \ v_o

for when n balls have collided

          v = \frac{m}{n \ m + M}  v₀

Now let's analyze the case of the bouncing ball (elastic)

     

initial instant

        p₀ = m v₀

final moment

        p_f = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

        p₀ = p_f

        m v₀ = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

       m (v₀ - v_{1f}) = M v_{2f}

this case corresponds to an elastic collision whereby the kinetic energy is conserved

        K₀ = K_f

        ½ m v₀² = ½ m v_{1f}² + ½ M v_{2f}²

        v₁ = v_{1f}            v₂ = v_{2f}

        m (v₀² - v₁²) = M v₂²

let's use the identity

         (a² - b²) = (a + b) (a-b)

we write our equations

         m (v₀ - v₁) = M v₂                       (1)

         m (v₀ - v₁) (v₀ + v₁) = M v₂²

let's divide these equations

         v₀ + v₁ = v₂

Let's look for the final speeds

we substitute in equation 1

          m (v₀ - v₁) = M (v₀ + v₁)

          v₀ (m -M) = (m + M) v₁

          v₁ = \frac{m-M}{m + M}   v₀

we substitute in equation 1 to find v₂

            \frac{M}{m}  v₂ = v₀ -  \frac{m-M}{m+M}   v₀

            v₂ = \frac{m}{M}  ( 1 - \frac{m-M}{m+M} ) \ v_o

            v₂ = \frac{m}{M}  ( \frac{2M}{m+M} ) \ \ v_o

            v₂ = \frac{2m}{m +M}  \ v_o  

Let's analyze the results for inelastic collision with each ball that collides with the sail, the total mass becomes larger so the speed increase is smaller and smaller.

In the case of elastic collision, the increase in speed is constant with each ball since the total mass remains invariant.

Consequently, greater speed will be obtained for the elastic collision, that is, the ball will bounce.
