Answer:

mechanical advantage!

Explanation:

The Mechanical advantage of a machine is the factor by which the machine changes the input force.

When a a machine multiplies an input force, that's called a mechanical advantage.

Water is pumped steadily out of a flooded basement at a speed of 5.4 m/s through a uniform hose of radius 0.83 cm. The hose pass

Gala2k [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the flow as a function of the volume in a certain time, as well as the potential and kinetic energy that act on the pump and the fluid.

The work done would be defined as

$\Delta W = \Delta PE + \Delta KE$

Where,

PE = Potential Energy

KE = Kinetic Energy

$\Delta W = (\Delta m)gh+\frac{1}{2}(\Delta m)v^2$

Where,

m = Mass

g = Gravitational energy

h = Height

v = Velocity

Considering power as the change of energy as a function of time we will then have to

$P = \frac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}$

$P = \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}(gh+\frac{1}{2}v^2)$

The rate of mass flow is,

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \rho_w Av$

Where,

$\rho_w$ = Density of water

A = Area of the hose $\rightarrow A=\pi r^2$

The given radius is 0.83cm or $0.83 * 10^{-2}$ m, so the Area would be

$A = \pi (0.83*10^{-2})^2$

$A = 0.0002164m^2$

We have then that,

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \rho_w Av$

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = (1000)(0.0002164)(5.4)$

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 1.16856kg/s$

Final the power of the pump would be,

$P = \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}(gh+\frac{1}{2}v^2)$

$P = (1.16856)((9.8)(3.5)+\frac{1}{2}5.4^2)$

$P = 57.1192W$

Therefore the power of the pump is 57.11W

A gymnast is swinging on a high bar. The distance between his waist and the bar is 0.905 m, as the drawing shows. At the top of

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

5.959 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of gymnast

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

$h_i$ = Initial height

$h_f$ = Final height

From conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh_f=\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mg0=\frac{1}{2}m0^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh_i\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh_i}$

$h_i=2r$

$v=\sqrt{4gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{4\times 9.81\times 0.905}\\\Rightarrow v=5.959\ m/s$

Velocity of gymnast at bottom of swing is 5.959 m/s

Which statement describes a scientific theory?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A theory changes based on new observations and testing.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a product of multiple trials and repeated experiments. It usually follows after carefully conducting and testing the validity of the hypothesis.

A scientific theory provides an explanation into how something behaves.

A law just states a finding will not explain it.

Most theories are tenable and can be improved upon when new observations and testing are carried out.
