Principle: Pythagorean theorem

Given:
Let a = boat velocity = 25 miles per hour
      b = river velocity = 10 miles per hour

Required: c = actual velocity

Solution:
     
     c^2 = a^2 + b^2
     c^2 = (25)^2 + (10)^2
     c^2 = 725
     (c^2)^0.5 = (725)^0.5
      c = 26.93 miles per hour

<em>ANSWER: Actual boat velocity is 26.93 miles per hour</em>

On a bet, you try to remove water from a glass by blowing across the top of a vertical straw immersed in the water. What is the
MArishka [77]

Answer:

       v₂ = 0.56 m / s

Explanation:

This exercise can be done using Bernoulli's equation

        P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

Where points 1 and 2 are on the surface of the glass and the top of the straw

The pressure at the two points is the same because they are open to the atmosphere, if we assume that the surface of the vessel is much sea that the area of ​​the straw the velocity of the surface of the vessel is almost zero v₁ = 0

The difference in height between the level of the glass and the straw is constant and equal to 1.6 cm = 1.6 10⁻² m

We substitute in the equation

         P_{atm} + ρ g y₁ = P_{atm} + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

         ½ v₂² = g (y₂-y₁)

        v₂ = √ 2 g (y₂-y₁)

Let's calculate

        v₂ = √ (2 9.8 1.6 10⁻²)

       v₂ = 0.56 m / s

A 4.44 l container holds 15.4 g of oxygen at 22.55°c. what is the pressure?
padilas [110]
We will use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT, where n is moles and equal to mass / Mr
P = mRT/MrV
P = 15.4 x 8.314 x (22.55 + 273) / 32 x 4.44
P = 266.3 kPa
