Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Surface area A= 17m²

The speed at the top v" = 66m/s

Speed beneath is v' =40 m/s

The density of air p =1.29kg/m³

Weight of plane?

Assuming that,

the height difference between the top and bottom of the wind is negligible and we can ignore any change in gravitational potential energy of the fluid.

Using Bernoulli equation

P'+ ½pv'²+ pgh' = P'' + ½pv''² + pgh''

Where

P' is pressure at the bottom in N/m²

P" is pressure at the top in N/m²

v' is velocity at the bottom in m/s

v" is velocity at the top in m/s

Then, Bernoulli equation becomes

P'+ ½pv'² = P'' + ½pv''²

Rearranging

P' — P'' = ½pv"² —½pv'²

P'—P" = ½p ( v"² —v'²)

P'—P" = ½ × 1.29 × (66²-40²)

P'—P" = 1777.62 N/m²

Lift force can be found from

Pressure = force/Area

Force = ∆P ×A

Force = (P' —P")×A

Since we already have (P'—P")

Then, F=W = (P' —P")×A

W = 1777.62 × 17

W = 30,219.54 N

The weight of the plane is 30.22 KN

Answer:

Weight of plane ; W = 30219.54 N

Explanation:

For us to determine the lift force of the system, let's multiply the pressure difference with the effective wing surface area given that the area is obtained by Bernoulli equation. Thus,

P_b + (1/2)ρ(v_b)² + ρg(y_b) = P_t + (1/2)ρ(v_t)² + ρg(y_t)

Now, since the flight is level, the height is constant.

Thus, (y_b) = (y_t)

So, we now have;

P_b + (1/2)ρ(v_b)² = P_t + (1/2)ρ(v_t)²

Rearranging, we have ;

P_b - P_t = (1/2)ρ(v_t)² - (1/2)ρ(v_b)²

P_b - P_t = (1/2)ρ[(v_t)² - (v_b)²]

Now, weight is given by the formula;

W = (P_b - P_t) •A

Thus,

W = (1/2)ρ[(v_t)² - (v_b)²] •A

From the question,

Density; ρ = 1.29 kg/m³

Velocity over top of wings; v_t = 66 m/s

Velocity beneath the wings; v_b = 40 m/s

Surface Area; A = 17 m²

Thus;

W = (1/2)1.29[(66)² - (40)²] •17

W = (1/2)•1.29•17[2756]

W = 30219.54 N

The graph illustrates the activity level of three common digestive enzymes, across a range of pH values. Which enzyme is likely
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(A) Pepsin

Explanation:

From the graph it is clear that pepsin is the only enzyme which works in highly acidic condintion in the digestive system.

  • less than 7 the liquid is acidic
  • above 7 the liquid is basic
  • at 7 the liquid is neutral

It has an optimum pH of about 1.5 at which its activity level is 8.5 as shown in graph.

A drag racing car with a weight of 1600 lbf attains a speed of 270 mph in a quarter-mile race. Immediately after passing the tim
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

15.065ft

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to consider the aerodynamic concepts related to the Drag Force.

By definition the drag force is expressed as:

F_D = -\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A

Where

\rho is the density of the flow

V = Velocity

C_d= Drag coefficient

A = Area

For a Car is defined the drag coefficient as 0.3, while the density of air in normal conditions is 1.21kg/m^3

For second Newton's Law the Force is also defined as,

F=ma=m\frac{dV}{dt}

Equating both equations we have:

m\frac{dV}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A

m(dV)=-\frac{1}{2}\rho C_d A (dt)

\frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)=-\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)

Integrating

\int \frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)= - \int\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)

-\frac{1}{V}\big|^{V_f}_{V_i}=\frac{1}{2m}(\rho)C_d (\pi r^2) \Delta t

Here,

V_f = 60mph = 26.82m/s

V_i = 120.7m/s

m= 1600lbf = 725.747Kg

\rho = 1.21 kg/m^3

C_d = 0.3

\Delta t=7s

Replacing:

\frac{-1}{26.82}+\frac{1}{120.7} = \frac{1}{2(725.747)}(1.21)(0.3)(\pi r^2) (7)

-0.029 = -5.4997r^2

r = 2.2963m

d= r*2 = 4.592m \approx 15.065ft
