A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 57.3 c

m ( 0.573 m) and the flow speed of the petroleum is 13.5 m/s. At the refinery, the petroleum flows at 5.83 m/s. What is the volume flow rate of the petroleum along the pipe and what is the pipe's diameter at the refinery?

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of pipe,d_1=0.573 m

v_1=13.5 m/s

v_2=5.83 m/s

Volume flow rate of the petroleum along the pipe=Q_{refinery}=A_1v_1=v_(\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4})

Q_{refinery}=13.5\times (\pi\times \frac{0.573)^2}{4})=3.48 m^3/s

By equation of continuity

A_1v_1=A_2v_2

\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4}v_1=\frac{\pi d^2_2}{4}v_2

d^2_2=\frac{v_1}{v_2}d^2_1

d_2=\sqrt{\frac{v_1}{v_2}}d_1

d_2=0.573\sqrt{\frac{13.5}{5.83}}

d_2=0.87 m

d_2=0.87\time 100=87 cm

1 m=100 cm

An elephant and a mouse would both have zero weight in gravity-free space. If they were moving toward you with the same speed, w
Dovator [93]

The elephant and the mouse having zero weight in a gravity free space will not bump into you at the same effect.

<u>Explanation: </u>

When both are in a gravity free space, the weights are zero, as we know that the\text {weight of the body}=\text {mass of the body} \times \text {acceleration due to gravity}

\text {here, the weight of elephant}=\text {mass of elephant } \times \text {zero gravti} y=zero

\text {similarly,weight of mouse}=\text {mass of mouse } \times \text {zero gravity}=zero

But when they will acquire the speed of same magnitude, say v, their different masses will acquire different momentum, which will make the difference in effect while bumping.  

\text { momentum of elephant }=\text { mass of elephant } \times v  \text { momentum of mouse = mass of mouse } \times v

And as we know \text { mass of elephant }>\text { mass of mouse }  Therefore, effect of impact by elephant will be more than that of mouse . An elephant breaking into you will take you back faster than a mouse in space hits you.

A backpack weighs 8.2 newtons and has a mass of 5kg on the moon. What is the strength of the gravity on the moon?
Pavel [41]
Weight is equivalent to the product of the mass of an object and the strength of the gravitational field.

Using:
F = ma

a = 8.2 / 5
a = 1.64 N/kg

The gravitational field strength is equivalent to 1.64 N/kg.

A crane motor exerts 3,500 W to lift a load up 5 floors in 25 seconds. How much work did the crane do?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: 87500J

Explanation:

Given that,

Power exerted by crane = 3,500 W

Time taken = 25 seconds

work done by crane = ?

Since power is the rate of work done per unit time, then power is workdone by the crane divided by the time taken.

i.e power = work / time

3,500 W = work / 25 seconds

Work = 3500W x 25 seconds

Work = 87500J

Thus, 87500 joules of work was done by the crane.

Suppose that you're facing a straight current-carrying conductor, and the current is flowing toward you. The lines of magnetic f
alekssr [168]

Answer:c

Explanation:

When the direction of current is towards the observer then the magnetic field around it will be in the form of concentric circles and its direction will be anti-clockwise when viewed from the observer side.

Whenever current is flowing in a current-carrying conductor then the magnetic field is associated with it and direction of the magnetic field is given by right-hand thumb rule according to which if thumb represents the direction of current then wrapping of fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field
