Water is pumped from a 200-ft-deep well into a 100-ft-high storage tank. Determine the power, in kW, that would be required to p

ump 310 gal/min. The density of water is taken to be 62.4 lbm/ft3.

Answer:

Explanation:

height raised, h = 200 + 100 = 300 ft

Q = 310 gal / min = 310 / 60 = 5.17 gal/sec

density of water, d = 62.4 lbm/ft^3 = 8.34 lbm/gal

Power = h d g x Q

P = h (dg) Q

P = 300 x 8.34 x 5.17

P = 12935.34 lbf - ft / s

P = 23.52 hp

How did Niels Bohr change the atomic model based on his experimental results?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: Find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Bohr postulated that :

1.) Electrons revolve in specific circular orbits around the nucleus and these orbits can be represented by the letters K, L, M, N.

2.) Electrons revolving in a particular orbit are in a stationary state. They can neither gain energy nor loose energy. 3.) But if an electron jumps from an higher orbit to a lower orbit it will emit energy in the form of radiations. Also if an electron jumps from lower orbit to a higher orbit it excites and absorbs energy in the form of radiations.

4.) Neil Bohr experimental findings about angular momentum of an electron shows more light on the stability of atom and the line spectrum of hydrogen atom

Which of the following best describes the difference between speed and acceleration?
Nataly_w [17]

The correct answer to the question is : C) Speed is the distance an object travels within a specific unit of time, whereas acceleration is the rate at which the speed or direction of an object is changing.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand speed and acceleration.

The speed of a body is defined as the rate of change of distance or the distance covered by the body per unit time. Speed is scalar quantity. Hence, it needs only magnitude for its complete specification.

The acceleration produced by a body is defined as the rate of change of velocity. We know that velocity is the speed in a particular direction. Hence, the acceleration is not only produced due to the change in magnitude of velocity as well as due to the change in direction. Hence, acceleration is a vector quantity which needs magnitude as well as direction for its complete specification.

Hence, the best difference between speed and acceleration is the third statement.

Four students measured the acceleration of gravity. The accepted value for
Ratling [72]
Answer: The student with the largest measurement of percentage error is student 4. Option A is correct.The percent error shows the disparity between the observed value and the actual value. It is given by the expression.

Therefore, we can conclude that the student's measurement that has the largest percent error is student 4.
