A student team is to design a human powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is

2.24 m, and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.560 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at T = 15°C. The design team builds a one-eighth scale model to test in their university’s wind tunnel. A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. The air in the wind tunnel is at 25°C and at one standard atmosphere pressure. At what air speed do they need to run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity?
The students from the previous problem measure the aerodynamic drag on their model submarine in the wind tunnel. They are careful to run the wind tunnel at conditions that ensure similarity with the prototype submarine. Their measured drag force is 2.3 N. Estimate the drag force on the prototype submarine at the conditions given in Problem #3

Answer:

a) The speed is 61.42 m/s

b) The drag force is 10.32 N

Explanation:

a) The Reynold´s number for the model and prototype is:

Re_{m} =\frac{p_{m}V_{m}L_{m}   }{u_{m} }

Re_{p} =\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p}   }{u_{p} }

Equaling both Reynold's number:

\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p}   }{u_{p} }=\frac{p_{m}V_{m}L_{m}   }{u_{m} }

Clearing Vm:

V_{m} =\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p} u_{m}   }{u_{p} p_{m} L_{m} }=\frac{999.1*0.56*8*1.849x10^{-5} }{1.138x10^{-3}*1.184*1 } =61.42m/s

b) The drag force is:

\frac{F_{Dm} }{p_{m}V_{m}^{2}L_{m}^{2}     } =\frac{F_{Dp} }{p_{p}V_{p}^{2}L_{p}^{2}     } \\F_{Dp} =\frac{F_{Dp}p_{p}V_{p}^{2}L_{p}^{2} }{p_{m}V_{m}^{2}L_{m}^{2}     } \\F_{Dp}=\frac{2.3*999.1*0.56^{2} *8^{2} }{1.184*61.42^{2}*1^{2}  } =10.32N

Answer:

1. The air speed at which wind tunnel should be ran in order to achieve similarity = 61.423 m/s

2. The drag force on the prototype submarine at the conditions given above = 10.325 N.

Explanation:

1. Here we have

Density of water at 15 °C = 999.1 kg/m³

Density of air at 25 °C = 1.184 kg/m³

\mu_{Water} at 15 °C = 1.138 × 10⁻³ kg/(m·s)

\mu_{Air} at 25 °C = 1.849 × 10⁻⁵ kg/(m·s)    

The formula is

\frac{V_m\times \rho_m \times L_m}{\mu_m} = \frac{V_p\times \rho_p \times L_p}{\mu_p}

Where:

V_m = Velocity of the model =

\rho_m = Density of the model medium at the medium temperature = 1.184 kg/m³

L_m = Length of the model = 1/8 × L_p = 0.28 m

\mu_m = Dynamic viscosity of model medium at the model medium temperature = 1.849 × 10⁻⁵ kg/(m·s)

V_p = Velocity of the prototype = 0.560 m/s

\rho_p = Density of the prototype medium at the medium temperature = 999.1 kg/m³

L_p = Length of the prototype = 2.24 m

\mu_p = Dynamic viscosity of prototype medium at the prototype medium temperature 1.138 × 10⁻³ kg/(m·s)

Therefore

{V_m}{} = \frac{V_p\times \rho_p \times L_p \times \mu_m}{\mu_p\times \rho_m \times L_m}

{V_m}{} = \frac{0.560\times 999.1  \times 2.24 \times 1.849 \times 10^{-5}}{1.138 \times 10^{-3}\times 1.184 \times 0.28} =  61.423 m/s

The air speed at which wind tunnel should be ran in order to achieve similarity = 61.423 m/s

2. The drag force on the prototype is given by    

F_{D.p} = F_{D.m}(\frac{\rho_p}{\rho_m} )( \frac{V_p}{V_m})^2  ( \frac{L_p}{L_m})^2\\

Where:

F_{D.p} = Drag force of the prototype

F_{D.m} = Drag force of the model

F_{D.p} =2.3(\frac{999.1 }{1.184} )( \frac{0.560 }{61.423 })^2  ( \frac{2.24 }{0.28})^2\\ =   10.325 N

The drag force on the prototype submarine at the conditions given above = 10.325 N.

A 125 N box is being raised from the ground floor and accelerating due to a 175 N force. Identify all the forces and find the Ne
Finger [1]

Answer:

<em>Fn = 50 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

The net force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object.

When all the forces act in a single line, the direction of the forces is given by their signs. Positive signs are assumed to be up and left on both axes.

The box being raised by a force has a weight of W=-125 N. The negative sign indicates the weight points down. The accelerating force goes up and its value is F=175 N. The positive sign indicates this force pushes the box up.

The forces acting on the box are:

The weight W=-125 N

The accelerating force F=175 N

The net force is

Fn = W + F = -125N + 175 N

Fn = 50 N

An empty plate capacitor is connected between the terminals ofa 9.0 V battery and charged up. The capacitor is then disconnected
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The new voltage between the parallel plates of the capacitor is 18V, because for a constant electric field, doubling the space between the parallel capacitor plates, will also double the potential difference (voltage) between the plates.

Explanation:

ΔV = E*Δd

Where;

ΔV is the change in potential difference

Δd is the change in the distance between the parallel plates

E is the electric field potential.

Assuming a constant electric field; E = \frac{v}{d} , then; \frac{v_1}{d_1} =\frac{v_2}{d_2}

when the spacing between the capacitor plates is doubled, d₂ = 2d₁

v₂ = (v₁*d₂)/(d₁)

v₂ = (v₁*2d₁)/(d₁)

v₂ = 2v₁

v₂  = 2(9) = 18 V

Therefore, for a constant electric field, doubling the space between the parallel capacitor plates, will also double the potential difference (voltage).

A race is held between a sports car and a motorcycle. The sports car can accelerate at 5.0 m/s^2 and the motorcycle can accelera
user100 [1]

Answer:

Vf₁ = 30 m/s

s₂ = 90 m

car wins the race.

Explanation:

To find the speed of car after 5 s, we use 1st equation of motion:

Vf₁ = Vi₁ + a₁t₁

where,

Vf₁ = Final Speed of Car = ?

Vi₁ = Initial Speed of Car = 0 m/s

a₁ = acceleration of car = 5 m/s²

t₁ = time = 5 s

Therefore,

Vf₁ = 0 m/s + (5 m/s²)(5 s)

<u>Vf₁ = 25 m/s</u>

<u></u>

To find the distance of motorcycle after 6 s, we use 2nd equation of motion:

s₂ = Vi₂ t₂ + (1/2)a₂t₂²

where,

s₂ = distance covered by the motorcycle = ?

Vi₁ = Initial Speed of motorcycle = 0 m/s

a₂ = acceleration of motorcycle = 8 m/s²

t₂ = time = 6 s

Therefore,

s₂ = (0 m/s)(6 s) + (1/2)(5 m/s²)(6 s)²

<u>s₂ = 90 m</u>

<u></u>

We can use 2nd equation of motion to find time taken by each car and motorcycle to reach the finish point:

For Car:

s₁ = Vi₁ t₁ + (1/2)a₁t₁²

where,

s₁ = 200 m - 50 m = 150 m (since, car starts 50 m ahead)

Therefore.

150 m = (0 m/s)(t₁) + (1/2)(5 m/s²)t₁²

t₁ = √60 s²

t₁ = 7.74 s

For Motorcycle:

s₂ = Vi₂ t₂ + (1/2)a₂t₂²

where,

s₁ = 200 m

Therefore.

200 m = (0 m/s)(t₂) + (1/2)(5 m/s²)t₂²

t₂ = √80 s²

t₂ = 8.94 s

Since, the car takes less time to reach finish line.

Therefore, car wins the race.
