Answer:

Atlantis benefited from lessons learned in the construction and testing of Enterprise, Columbia and Challenger. ... The Experience gained during the Orbiter assembly process also enabled Atlantis to be completed with a 49.5 percent reduction in man hours (compared to Columbia).

There is an electric field near the Earth's surface whose magnitude is about 145 V/m . How much energy is stored per cubic meter

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

u_e = 9.3 * 10^-8 J / m^3 ( 2 sig. fig)

Explanation:

Given:

- Electric Field strength near earth's surface E = 145 V / m

- permittivity of free space (electric constant) e_o = 8.854 *10^-12 s^4 A^2 / m^3 kg

Find:

- How much energy is stored per cubic meter in this field?

Solution:

- The solution requires the energy density stored between earth's surface and the source of electric field strength. The formula for charge density is given by:

u_e = 0.5*e_o * E^2

- Plug in the values given:

u_e = 0.5*8.854 *10^-12 *145^2

u_e = 9.30777 * 10^-8 J/m^3

A reservoir delivers water to a horizontal pipeline 39 long The first 15 m has a diameter of 50 mm, after which it suddenly beco

allsm [11]

Answer:

The difference of head in the level of reservoir is 0.23 m.

Explanation:

For pipe 1

$d_1=50 mm,f_1=0.0048$

For pipe 2

$d_2=75 mm,f_2=0.0058$

Q=2.8 l/s

$Q=2.8\times 10^{-3]$

We know that Q=AV

$Q=A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

$A_1=1.95\times 10^{-3}m^2$

$A_2=4.38\times 10^{-3} m^2$

$So V_2=0.63 m/s,V_1=1.43 m/s$

head loss (h)

$h=\dfrac{f_1L_1V_1^2}{2gd_1}+\dfrac{f_2L_2V_2^2}{2gd_2}+0.5\dfrac{V_1^2}{2g}$

Now putting the all values

$h=\dfrac{0.0048\times 15\times 1.43^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.05}+\dfrac{0.0058\times 24\times 0.63^2}{2\times 9.81\times 0.075}+0.5\dfrac{1.43^2}{2\times 9.81}$

So h=0.23 m

So the difference of head in the level of reservoir is 0.23 m.
