An underground tunnel has two openings, with one opening a few meters higher than the other. If air moves past the higher openin

g at a greater speed than it moves past the lower opening, what happens inside the tunnel?
Physics

Answer:

There would be a pressure drop in the direction of the higher opening. This will force air to move in from the lower opening and force it to leave through the higher opening. This will create a convectional movement of air, cooling and ventilating the tunnel.

Explanation:

This is in accordance with bernoulli's law of fluid flow which states that the pressure exerted by a moving fluid is lesser than it would exert if it were at rest.

An electric iron operating at 120 volts draws 10. amperes of current. how much heat energy
faltersainse [42]
The complete question is how much heat energy is delivered by the iron in 30 seconds.
Heat is given by IVt, Where I is the current in Amperes, V is the voltage, and t is the time in seconds,
Therefore; 
Heat energy = 120 × 10 ×30
                     = 36000 joules or 36 kJ
Heat energy is measured in joules.

During a circus performance, a 72-kg humancannonball is shot out of an 18-m-long cannon. If thehuman cannonball spends 0.95 s in
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

2872.8 N

Explanation:

We have the following information

m =n72kg

Δy = 18m

t = 0.95s.

From here we use the equation

Δy=1/2at2 in order to solve for the acceleration.

So a

=( 2x 18m)/(0.95s²)

= 36/0.9025

= 39.9m/s2.

From there we use the equation

F = ma

F=(72kg) x (39.9)

= 2872.8N.

2872.8N is the average net force exerted on him in the barrel of the cannon.

Thank you!

The doctor writes a prescription for na heparin 20,000 units in 500 ml n.s. infuse over 8 hours. what is the flow rate in ml/hr?
Ne4ueva [31]
I think this type of equation could be conducted in simple division equation since it does not involve drop rate.

we know that there is 500 ml of substance and should be infused within 8 hours period.

So the flow rate in ml/hr would be: 

500/8 = 62.5 ml/hr
