A squirrel is running a race where she is on track for her average velocity to be 6.0 m/s. She is distracted by a dummy of an at

tractive male squirrel and pauses for 3.0 s. As a result her average velocity ends up being 5.0 m/s instead. What is the length of the race? [HINT: construct two equations with the same two unknowns in them and you can solve the system of equations]

Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

There are two unknowns: the amount of time the squirrel spent running, and the length of the race.  Let's call these t and x, respectively.

The average velocity is the total distance divided by the total time.

5.0 m/s = x / (t + 3.0)

The total distance is the time she spent running times the speed she ran at.

x = (6.0 m/s) t

Substitute and solve:

5 = 6t / (t + 3)

5 (t + 3) = 6t

5t + 15 = 6t

t = 15

She ran for 15 seconds (not including the 3 seconds she stopped).  So the length of the race is:

x = (6.0 m/s) (15 s)

x = 90 m

Two 10 kg pucks head straight towards each other with velocities of 10 m/s and -20 m/s. They collide and stick together. Calcula
RUDIKE [14]

The final velocity of the two pucks is -5 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, in absence of external force, the total momentum of the two pucks before and after the collision must be conserved - so we can write:

m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 +m_2)v

where

m_1 = m_2 = m = 10 kg is the mass of each puck

u_1 = 10 m/s is the initial velocity of the 1st puck

u_2 = -20 m/s is the initial velocity of the 2nd puck

v is the final velocity of the two pucks sticking together

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

mu_1 + mu_2 = (m+m)v\\u_1 + u_2 = 2v\\v=\frac{u_1+u_2}{2}=\frac{10-20}{2}=-5 m/s

A soccer ball takes 20 s to roll 10 m. What is the average speed of the soccer ball.
Georgia [21]

Explanation:

velocity is distance divided by time.

so

the average speed of the ball is 10m/20s

= 0.5 m/s

Water enters the constant 130-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7 MPa and 65°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 450°C wit
snow_lady [41]

The inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Explanation:

When water entering the tube of constant diameter flows through the tube, it exhibits continuity of mass in the hydrostatics. So the mass of water moving from the inlet to the outlet tend to be same, but the velocity may differ.

As per mass flow equality which states that the rate of flow of mass in the inlet is equal to the product of area of the tube with the velocity of the water and the density of the tube.

Since, the inlet volume flow is measured as the product of velocity with the area.

Inlet volume flow=Inlet velocity*Area*time

And the mass flow rate is  

Mass flow rate in the inlet=density*area*inlet velocity*time

Mass flow rate in the outlet=density*area*outlet velocity*time

Since, the time and area is constant, the inlet and outlet will be same as

(Mass inlet)/(density*inlet velocity)=Area*Time

(Mass outlet)/(density*outlet velocity)=Area*Time

As the ratio of mass to density is termed as specific volume, then  

(Specific volume inlet)/(Inlet velocity)=(Specific volume outlet)/(Outlet velocity)

Inlet velocity=  (Specific volume inlet)/(Specific volume outlet)*Outlet velocity

As, the specific volume of water at inlet is 0.001017 m³/kg and at outlet is 0.05217 m³/kg and the outlet velocity is given as 72 m/s, the inlet velocity

is

Inlet velocity = \frac{0.001017}{0.05217}*72 =1.4035 m/s

So, the inlet velocity is 1.4035 m/s.

Then the inlet volume will be

Inlet volume = inlet velocity*area of circle=\pi  r^{2}*inlet velocity

As the diameter of tube is 130 mm, then the radius is 65 mm and inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s

Inlet volume = 1.4*3.14*65*65*10^{-6} =0.019 \frac{m^{3} }{s}

So, the inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Thus, the inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.
