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

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

The Young’s modulus of nickel is Y = 2 × 1011 N/m2 . Its molar mass is Mmolar = 0.059 kg and its density is rho = 8900 kg/m3 . G
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Atomic Size and Mass:

convert given density to kg/m^3 = 8900kg/m^3 2) convert to moles/m^3 (kg/m^3 * mol/kg) = 150847 mol/m^3 (not rounding in my actual calculations) 3) convert to atoms/m^3 (6.022^23 atoms/mol) = 9.084e28 atoms/m^3 4) take the cube root to get the number of atoms per meter, = 4495309334 atoms/m 5) take the reciprocal to get the diameter of an atom, = 2.2245e-10 m/atom 6) find the mass of one atom (kg/mol * mol/atoms) = 9.7974e-26 kg/atom Young's Modulus: Y=(F/A)/(dL/L) 1) F=mg = (45kg)(9.8N/kg) = 441 N 2) A = (0.0018m)^2 = 3.5344e-6 m^2 3) dL = 0.0016m 4) L = 2.44m 5) Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 Interatomic Spring Stiffness: Ks,i = dY 1) From above, diameter of one atom = 2.2245e-10 m 2) From above, Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 3) Ks,i = 40.799 N/m (not rounding in my actual calculations) Speed of Sound: v = ωd 1) ω = √(Ks,i / m,a) 2) From above, Ks,i = 40.799 N/m 3) From above, m,a = 9.7974e-26 kg 4) ω=2.0406e13 N/m*kg 5) From above, d=2.2245e-10 m 6) v=ωd = 4539 m/s (not rounding in actual calculations) Time Elapsed: 1) length sound traveled = L+dL = 2.44166 m 2) From above, speed of sound = 4539 m/s 3) T = (L+dL)/v = 0.000537505 s

LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a 1.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

143 kW

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the beam, d = 1 mm

Wavelength of the beam, λ = 193 nm

Time used by the pulse, t = 14 ns

Energy of the pulse, U = 2 mJ

Recall that Power can be mathematically calculated using the relation,

Power = Work Done / Time,

To solve this, we apply the formula

P = U / Δt

P = 2*10^-3 J / 14*10^-9 s

P = 142857 W

P = 143 kW

Consider three scenarios in which a particular box moves downward under the pull of gravity :
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1. True  WA > WB > WC

Explanation:

In this exercise they give work for several different configurations and ask that we show the relationship between them, the best way to do this is to calculate each work separately.

A) Work is the product of force by distance and the cosine of the angle between them

    WA = W h cos 0

   WA = mg h

B) On a ramp without rubbing

     Sin30 = h / L

     L = h / sin 30

     WB = F d cos θ  

     WB = F L cos 30

     WB = mf (h / sin30) cos 30

     WB = mg h ctan 30

C) Ramp with rubbing

    W sin 30 - fr = ma

   N- Wcos30 = 0

   W sin 30 - μ W cos 30 = ma

    F = W (sin30 - μ cos30)

   WC = mg (sin30 - μ cos30) h / sin30

   Wc = mg (1 - μ ctan30) h

When we review the affirmation it is the work where there is rubbing is the smallest and the work where it comes in free fall at the maximum

Let's review the claims

1. True The work of gravity is the greatest and the work where there is friction is the least

2 False. The job where there is friction is the least

3 False work with rubbing is the least

4 False work with rubbing is the least

Why would it be cooler if you climb to a higher elevation in a desert
Arturiano [62]
Because cool air rises and warm air falls, so if you wanted the cooler air, you would need to go to higher elevation
