A 900-kg giraffe runs across a field at a rate of 50 km/hr. What is the magnitude of its momentum? 18 km/hr
2 answers:
Answer: The magnitude of momentum will be equal to 12,500 kg m/s.
Explanation:
Momentum is defined as the product of the mass of the object and velocity of the object.
Mathematically,
where, p = momentum
m = mass of the object ( in kg) = 900 kg
v = velocity of the object ( in m/s) = 50km/hr =
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the magnitude of momentum will be equal to 12,500 kg m/s.

Answer:
The frequency = 521.59 Hz
The rate at which the frequency is changing = 186.9 Hz/s
Explanation:
Given that :
Diameter of the tank = 44 cm
Radius of the tank = =
= 22 cm
Diameter of the spigot = 3.0 mm
Radius of the spigot = =
= 1.5 mm
Diameter of the cylinder = 2.0 cm
Radius of the cylinder = =
= 1.0 cm
Height of the cylinder = 40 cm = 0.40 m
The height of the water in the tank from the spigot = 35 cm = 0.35 m
Velocity at the top of the tank = 0 m/s
From the question given, we need to consider that the question talks about movement of fluid through an open-closed pipe; as such it obeys Bernoulli's Equation and the constant discharge condition.
The expression for Bernoulli's Equation is as follows:
where;
P₁ and P₂ = initial and final pressure.
v₁ and v₂ = initial and final fluid velocity
y₁ and y₂ = initial and final height
p = density
g = acceleration due to gravity
So, from our given parameters; let's replace
v₁ = 0 m/s ; y₁ = 0.35 m ; y₂ = 0 m ; g = 9.8 m/s²
∴ we have:
v₂ =
v₂ =
v₂ = 2.61916
v₂ ≅ 2.62 m/s
Similarly, using the expression of the continuity for water flowing through the spigot into the cylinder; we have:
v₂A₂ = v₃A₃
v₂r₂² = v₃r₃²
where;
v₂r₂ = velocity of the fluid and radius at the spigot
v₃r₃ = velocity of the fluid and radius at the cylinder
where;
v₂ = 2.62 m/s
r₂ = 1.5 mm
r₃ = 1.0 cm
we have;
v₃ =
v₃ = 0.0589 m/s
∴ velocity of the fluid in the cylinder = 0.0589 m/s
So, in an open-closed system we are dealing with; the frequency can be calculated by using the expression;
where;
= velocity of sound
h = height of the fluid
v₃ = velocity of the fluid in the cylinder
= 521.59 Hz
∴ The frequency = 521.59 Hz
b)
What are the rate at which the frequency is changing (Hz/s) when the cylinder has been filling for 4.0 s?
The rate at which the frequency is changing is related to the function of time (t) and as such:
where;
(velocity of sound) = 343 m/s
v₃ (velocity of the fluid in the cylinder) = 0.0589 m/s
h (height of the cylinder) = 0.40 m
t (time) = 4.0 s
Substituting our values; we have ;
= 186.873
≅ 186.9 Hz/s
∴ The rate at which the frequency is changing = 186.9 Hz/s when the cylinder has been filling for 4.0 s.
