A residential subdivision encompasses 1100 acres with a housing density of four houses per acre. Assume that a high-value reside

nce uses 800 g/day/house and has a fire flow requirement of 1000 gpm. If the water system has a daily peaking factor = 1.64 and an hourly peaking factor = 2.5, determine (a) the average daily demand of this subdivision and (b) the design-demand used to design the distribution system.

Answer:

(a). The average daily demand of this subdivision is 2444.44 gallon/min.

(b). The design-demand used to design the distribution system is 2444.44 gallon/min.

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 1100 acres

Number of house in 1 acres = 4

$\text{Number of house in 1100 acres} = 4\times1100$

$\text{Number of house in 1100 acres} = 4400$

Per house water demand = 800 g/day/house

(a). We need to calculate the average daily demand of this subdivision

Using formula for average daily demand

$\text{average daily demand}=house\times\text{Per house water demand}$

$\text{average daily demand}=4400\times800\ gallon/day$

$\text{average daily demand}=3520000\ gallon/day$

$\text{average daily demand}=\dfrac{3520000}{24\times60}\ gallon/min$

$\text{average daily demand}=2444.44\ gallon/min$

The average daily demand of this subdivision is 2444.44 gallon/min.

(b). We need to calculate the design-demand used to design the distribution system

Using formula for the design-demand

$\text{design demand}=(Q_{max})daily\times\text{fire flow}$

$\text{design demand}=1.64\times2444.4\times1000$

$\text{design demand}=4008816\ gallon/m$

Hence, (a). The average daily demand of this subdivision is 2444.44 gallon/min.

(b). The design-demand used to design the distribution system is 2444.44 gallon/min.

How much time will it take for a truck to travel 20 meters if it is traveling at 4 m/s?

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 5 s</h2>

Explanation:

The time taken can be found by using the formula

$t = \frac{d}{v} \\$

d is the distance

v is the velocity

From the question we have

$t = \frac{20}{4} \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>5 s</h3>

A charge q produces an electric field of strength 4E at a distance of d away. Determine the electric field strength at a distanc

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

c.) 36E

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field is given by the expression

$E=k \frac{q}{d^2}$ (1)

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q is the charge that generates the field, and d is the distance from the charge.

In this problem, we have that the magnitude of the field at a distance d is 4E, so we can rewrite the previous equation as

$4E = k\frac{q}{d^2}$

Now we want to determine the electric field at a distance of $d'=\frac{1}{3}d$ away. Substituting into (1), we find

$E' = k \frac{q}{d'^2}=k \frac{q}{(\frac{1}{3}d)^2}=9 k \frac{q}{d^2}$ (2)

We also know that

$4E = k\frac{q}{d^2}$ (3)

So combining (2) with (3), we find a relationship between the original field and the new field:

$E' = 9 \cdot (4E) = 36E$

Newton's Law of Gravitation says that the magnitude F of the force exerted by a body of mass m on a body of mass M is F = GmM r2

Nookie1986 [14]

<h2>Answers:</h2>

<h2>(a) </h2>

According to Newton's Law of Gravitation, the Gravity Force is:

$F=\frac{GMm}{{r}^{2}}$ (1)

This expression can also be written as:

$F=GMm{r}^{-2}$ (2)

If we derive this force $F$ respect to the distance $r$ between the two masses:

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=\frac{d}{dr}(GMm{r}^{-2})dr$ (3)

Taking into account $GMm$ are constants:

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2GMm{r}^{-3}$ (4)

Or

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2\frac{GMm}{{r}^{3}}$ (5)

<h2> (b) dF/dr represents the rate of change of the force with respect to the distance between the bodies. </h2><h2 />

In other words, this means how much does the Gravity Force changes with the distance between the two bodies.

More precisely this change is inversely proportional to the distance elevated to the cubic exponent.

As the distance increases, the Force decreases.

<h2>(c) The minus sign indicates that the bodies are being forced in the negative direction. </h2>

This is because Gravity is an attractive force, as well as, a central conservative force.

This means it does not depend on time, and both bodies are mutually attracted to each other.

<h2>(d) </h2>

In the first answer we already found the decrease rate of the Gravity force respect to the distance, being its unit $N/km$ :

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2\frac{GMm}{{r}^{3}}$ (5)

We have a force that decreases with a rate 1 $\frac{dF_{1}}{dr}dFdr=4N/km$ when $r=20000km$ :

$4N/km=-2\frac{GMm}{{(20000km)}^{3}}$ (6)

Isolating $-2GMm$ :

$-2GMm=(4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3})$ (7)

In addition, we have another force that decreases with a rate 2 $\frac{dF_{2}}{dr}dFdr=X$ when $r=10000km$ :

$XN/km=-2\frac{GMm}{{(10000km)}^{3}}$ (8)

Isolating $-2GMm$ :

$-2GMm=X({(10000km)}^{3})$ (9)

Making (7)=(9):

$(4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3})=X({(10000km)}^{3}$ (10)

Then isolating $X$ :

$X=\frac{4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3}}{{(10000km)}^{3}}$

Solving and taking into account the units, we finally have:

$X=-32N/km$ >>>>This is how fast this force changes when $r=10000 km$

Why is newton's first law of motion sometimes called the lae of inertia?

Masja [62]

Newton's 1st law of motion states that <span>an object at rest stays at rest and an object in uniform motion along a straight line stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
This law talks about the tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of rest or uniform motion, this is called Inertia. Thus Newton's 1st law of motion is also called the Law of Inertia</span>
