Water is pumped from a reservoir to a tank suspended 12 m above the reservoir. The water flows through the same size pipe throug
hout the process. Both the reservoir and the tank are open to the atmosphere. If friction in the pipes consumes 20% of the pump energy, determine the mass flow of water if a 2 hp pump is used. Assume the liquid water has a density of 1 g/cm3
The competition between the three quarterbacks is with respect to how far the ball would be thrown by each person, which is the distance covered by the ball. The thrown ball is an example of projectile, which would move over a certain distance.
With respect to the measure to be used in the competition, the appropriate SI unit is meter. This is the measure of length or distance covered.
Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.
The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR
For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6
Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s
