2 answers:

8 0

This statement is true.

Bernoulli’s principle explains the relation between the speed of the fluid and the pressure or potential energy of the fluid.
Bernoulli explained that an increase in the speed of a fluid is accompanied with a decrease in pressure and potential energy of the fluid.

This principle can be applied to the hydraulics of brake fluid in cars.

Explanation :

The principle behind Hydraulic brakes is Pascal's law.

According to Bernoulli's principle, the speed of a fluid depends inversely on the pressure or on the potential energy of the fluid.

Mathematically,

$P_1+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2+\rho gh_1=P_2+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2+\rho gh_2$

According to Pascal's law, there is an equal distribution of the pressure in the container having fluids i.e.

$P_1=P_2$

Hence, the given statement is false.

A straight fin is made from copper (k = 388 W/m-K) and is 0.5 cm in diameter and 30 cm long. The temperature at the base of the

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The rate of transfer of heat is 0.119 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the fin, D = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m

Length of the fin, l =30 cm = 0.3 m

Base temperature, $T_{b} = 75^{\circ}C$

Air temperature, $T_{infty} = 20^{\circ}$

k = 388 W/mK

h = $20\ W/m^{2}K$

Now,

Perimeter of the fin, p = $\pi D = 0.005\pi \ m$

Cross-sectional area of the fin, A = $\frac{\pi}{4}D^{2}$

A = $\frac{\pi}{4}(0.5\times 10^{-2})^{2} = 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi \ m^{2}$

To calculate the heat transfer rate:

$Q_{f} = \sqrt{hkpA}tanh(ml)(T_{b} - T_{infty})$

where

$m = \sqrt{\frac{hp}{kA}} = \sqrt{\frac{20\times 0.005\pi}{388\times 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi}} = 41.237$

Now,

$Q_{f} = \sqrt{20\times 388\times 0.005\pi\times 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi}tanh(41.237\times 0.3)(75 - 20) = 0.119\ W$

A city planner needs to make a model of the city. In real life, the tallest tree in the city is 40 feet tall. The shortest tree

Verdich [7]

To solve this you must set up what is called a proportion. A proportion is a way of comparing two comparing values where one of the four values is missing. In your problem the missing value is the height of the smallest tree in the model.

To set up a proportion, you need all of your values. The easiest way to do this is to list them:

Highest tree in real life: 40ft
Highest tree in model: 10ft
Smallest tree in real life: 4ft
Smallest tree in model: x

So know you can set your proportion like this:

40/4 = 4/x

(When setting up a proportion, you always want to have the values belong to each other. For example don't put the height of the small tree in the model underneath the value of the highest tree in real life.)

So know to find what the x values equals, we need to cross multiply. And then all that's left after that is to solve for x.

40 times x = 4 times 4

40x = 16

x = 2.5

The smallest tree in the model should equal 2.5 feet.

Hope this helps! :)

Anna applies a force of 19.5 newtons to push a book placed on a table. If the normal force of the book is 51.7 newtons, what is

andrey2020 [161]

Considering that the book is moving with constant speed, the force applied by Anna must be the same that the friction force:

$F = F_R = F\cdot \mu_k\cdot N$

If we clear the previous equation:

$\mu_k = \frac{F}{F_R} = \frac{19.5\ N}{51.7\ N} = \bf 0.38$

Which of the following statements best describes chromatic aberration?

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The answer is A/B, they're the same answer anyways.

Explanation:

Chromatic aberration is the result when the lens fail to focus all the colors on the same point. The light then focuses in different points,and could lead to causing two images at once. The main culprit of this is usually dispersion.
