A bug flies at a velocity of 0.75 m/s into an oncoming breeze blowing at 0.25 m/s. What is the resultant velocity of the bug?

1 answer:

4 0

0.5m/s. Take the velocity of the bug and subtract from the velocity of the oncoming breeze because they are opposite. If the breeze was in the same direction that the bug was flying, then your answer would be the sum of the two.

Air enters a nozzle steadily at 2.21 kg/m3 and 20 m/s and leaves at 0.762 kg/m3 and 150 m/s. If the inlet area of the nozzle is

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

a) The mass flow rate through the nozzle is 0.27 kg/s.

b) The exit area of the nozzle is 23.6 cm².

Explanation:

a) The mass flow rate through the nozzle can be calculated with the following equation:

$\dot{m_{i}} = \rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i}$

Where:

$v_{i}$ : is the initial velocity = 20 m/s

$A_{i}$ : is the inlet area of the nozzle = 60 cm²

$\rho_{i}$ : is the density of entrance = 2.21 kg/m³

$\dot{m} = \rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i} = 2.21 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}*20 \frac{m}{s}*60 cm^{2}*\frac{1 m^{2}}{(100 cm)^{2}} = 0.27 kg/s$

Hence, the mass flow rate through the nozzle is 0.27 kg/s.

b) The exit area of the nozzle can be found with the Continuity equation:

$\rho_{i} v_{i}A_{i} = \rho_{f} v_{f}A_{f}$

$0.27 kg/s = 0.762 kg/m^{3}*150 m/s*A_{f}$

$A_{f} = \frac{0.27 kg/s}{0.762 kg/m^{3}*150 m/s} = 0.00236 m^{2}*\frac{(100 cm)^{2}}{1 m^{2}} = 23.6 cm^{2}$

Therefore, the exit area of the nozzle is 23.6 cm².

I hope it helps you!

A spring attached to the ceiling is stretched 2.45 meters by a four kilogram mass. If the mass is set in motion in a medium that

denpristay [2]

Answer:

d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x is the required differential equation.

Explanation:

Since the spring force F = kx where k is the spring constant and x its extension = 2.45 equals the weight of the 4 kg mass,

F = mg

kx = mg

k = mg/x

= 4 kg × 9.8 m/s²/2.45 m

= 39.2 kgm/s²/2.45 m

= 16 N/m

Now the drag force f = 16v where v is the velocity of the mass.

We now write an equation of motion for the forces on the mass. So,

F + f = ma (since both the drag force and spring force are in the same direction)where a = the acceleration of the mass

-kx - 16v = 4a

-16x - 16v = 4a

16x + 16v = -4a

4x + 4v = -a where v = dx/dt and a = d²x/dt²

4x + 4dx/dt = -d²x/dt²

d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x which is the required differential equation

A crate with a mass of m = 450 kg rests on the horizontal deck of a ship. The coefficient of static friction between the crate a

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: $F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg$

Magnitude of the force is 2601.9 N

Explanation:

m = 450 kg

coefficient of static friction μs = 0.73

coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.59

The force required to start crate moving is $F_{s} =\mu_{s} mg$ .

but once crate starts moving the force of friction is reduced $F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg$ .

Hence to keep crate moving at constant velocity we have to reduce the force pushing crate ie $F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg$ .

Then the above pushing force will equal the frictional force due to kinetic friction and constant velocity is possible as forces are balanced.

Magnitude of the force

$F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg\\F_{v} =0.59 \times 450 \times 9.8\\F_{v} =2601.9 N$
