A river flows down towards a lake along an incline. initially the river is 90 m above the lake flowing at a rate of 3 m/s. at th

e lake the velocity is 0 m/s. you are interested in the change of total energy per unit mass of the water. draw a schematic of the system, clearly identifying the system, and determine the change of total energy per unit mass of the water between the inlet and outlet of the system. assume that the internal energy of the water remains constant and that the pressure at the inlet and outlet is the same.

Total energy =kinetic energy +potential energy

Change in energy =change in (kinetic energy +potential energy)

potential energy, P.E=mgh

where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

potential energy per unit mass =gh

change in potential energy per unit mass = \Delta P.E.=g\Delta h

where, h is the height.

kinetic energy= K.E. =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

change in kinetic energy per unit mass,\Delta K.E. =\frac{1}{2}\Delta v^2

In the given question:

Height varies from 90 m to zero as river flows from 90 m height to lake at 0 m

Velocity varies from 3m/s at top to o m/s at bottom.

Therefore,

\Delta E =\Delta K.E.+\Delta P.E.\\ \Rightarrow \Delta E/m=\frac{1}{2}\Delta v^2+g\Delta h=\frac{1}{2}(0^2-3^2) m^2s^{-2}+9.8 (0-9)m^2s^{-2}=(-\frac{9}{2}-88.2)m^2s^{-2}=-92.7 m^2s^{-2}

Here, it was mentioned in the question internal energy of the water is constant and there is no change in the pressure at the inlet and outlet.

If the sound level at a point is 98.0 dB, what is the intensity of sound at that point (Unit=W/m^2)? please help will give brain
Firlakuza [10]

Answer: The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale where each bel or 10 decibels correspondents to a factor of ten. A power intensity of 10^(-12) watts per square meter is the standard reference for a SPL of 0 db. So an SPL of 98 db corresponds to a power intensity of 10^(9.8)*10^(-12) or 10^(9.8–12) w/m^2.

0.006309573 w/m^2.

You can also readily find the value for any given SPL using the online calculator at: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-soundlevel.htm

Rainfall occurs on the earth due to effect of gravity​
Anna [14]

<em>Answer:</em>

<h3><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>True</em></h3>

  • <em>Because </em><em>Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and Earth's gravity pulls matter downward, toward its center. It pulls precipitation down from clouds and pulls water downhill. Gravity also moves air and ocean water. ... Gravity pulls denser air and water downward, forcing less dense air and water to move upward.</em>

Explain the law of conservation of momentum.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

It says that momentum cannot be created or destroyed. Momentum just passes through systems as opposed to just disappearing in thin air. Momentum can be changed to heat or energy.

You want to move a 4- kg bookcase to a different place in the living room. If u push with a force of 65 n and the bookcase accel
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1.65

Explanation:

The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:

F-F_f = ma (1)

where

F = 65 N is the force applied with the push

F_f is the frictional force

m = 4 kg is the mass

a=0.12 m/s^2 is the acceleration

The force of friction can be written as F_f = \mu R (2), where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R is the normal force exerted by the floor

The equation of forces along the vertical direction is

R-mg=0 (3)

since the bookcase is in equilibrium. Substituting (2) and (3) into (1), we find

F-\mu mg = ma

And solving for \mu,

\mu = \frac{F-ma}{mg}=\frac{65-(4)(0.12)}{4(9.8)}=1.65
