A fluid flows along the x axis with a velocity given by V = ( x / t ) ˆ i , where x is in feet and t in seconds. (a) Plot the sp

eed for 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 ft and t = 3 s . (b) Plot the speed for x = 7 ft and 2 ≤ t ≤ 4 s . (c) Determine the local and convective acceleration. (d) Show that the acceleration of any fluid particle in the flow is zero. (e) Explain physically how the velocity of a particle in this unsteady flow remains constant throughout its motion.

Answer:

c)

 V_local = -x/t^2

 V_convec = x/t^2

d)

a =  V_local +  V_convec = 0

e) When a particle moves towards postive x direction its convective velocity increases, but at the same time the local velocity deacreases (at the same rate) when time increases

Explanation:

Hi!

You can see plots for a) and b) attached on this document

c)

The local acceleration is just teh aprtial derivative of the velocity with respect to t:

\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} \frac{x}{t}=- \frac{x}{t^2}

And the convective acceleration is given by the product of the velocity times the gradient of the velocity, that is:

\vec{v} \cdot \nabla \vec{v} = v ( \frac{dv}{dx} ) =\frac{x}{t} \frac{1}{t} = \frac{x}{t^2}

d)

Since the acceleration of any fluid particle is the sum of the local and convective accelerations, we can easily see that it is equal to zero, since they are equal but with opposit sign

e)

This is because of teh particular form of the velocity. A particle will move towards areas of higher velocities (convectice acceleration), but as time increases,  the velocity is also decreasing (local acceleration), and the sum of these quantities adds up to zero

Compare animal and plant cell
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

hope this helps :)

A 1,000 kg car is driving on a 15 m high bridge at 5 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the car?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

KE=12,500J

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

We can plug in the given values into the equation:

KE = \frac{1}{2}*1000kg*(5m/s)^2

KE = 500kg*25m^2/s^2

KE=12,500J

The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

Answer: The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground. The reason is as follows:

Reasoning:

The power lines are parallel to the ground hence, their electric field will be perpendicular to the ground and equipotential surface will be cylindrical.

Hence, if you will put fluorescent tube parallel to the ground then both the ends of the tube will lie on the same equipotential surface and the potential difference will be zero.

So, to maximize the potential the ends of the tube must be on different equipotential surfaces. The surface which is near to the power line has high potential value and the surface which is farther from the line has lower potential value.

hence, to maximize the potential difference, the tube must be placed perpendicular to the ground.
