Answer:

f something happens to go wrong at a nuclear reactor, anyone living in a 10-mile radius of the plant may have to evacuate. This map also shows a 50-mile evacuation zone, the safe distance that the U.S. government recommended to Americans who were near

Water exits straight down from a faucet with a 1.96-cm diameter at a speed of 0.55 m/s. The volume flow rate of the water as it
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Q = 165.95 cm³ / s,  1)    v = \sqrt{0.55^2 + 19.6 y},  2)  v = 2.05 m / s,

3)  d₂ = 1.014 cm

Explanation:

This is a fluid mechanics exercise

1) the continuity equation is

         Q = v A

where Q is the flow rate, A is area and v is the velocity

         

the area of ​​a circle is

        A = π r²

radius and diameter are related

        r = d / 2

substituting

       A = π d²/4

       Q = π/4   v d²

let's reduce the magnitudes

       v = 0.55 m / s = 55 cm / s

let's calculate

       Q = π/4   55   1.96²

       Q = 165.95 cm³ / s

If we focus on a water particle and apply the zimematics equations

        v² = v₀² + 2 g y

where the initial velocity is v₀ = 0.55 m / s

        v = \sqrt{0.55^2 + 2  \ 9.8\  y}

        v = \sqrt{0.55^2 + 19.6 y}

2) ask to calculate the velocity for y = 0.2 m

        v = \sqrt{0.55^2 + 19.6 \ 0.2}

        v = 2.05 m / s

3) We write the continuous equation for this point 2

        Q = v₂ A₂

        A₂ = Q / v₂

let us reduce to the same units of the SI system

        Q = 165.95 cm³ s (1 m / 10² cm) ³ = 165.95 10⁻⁶ m³ / s

        A₂ = 165.95 10⁻⁶ / 2.05

        A₂ = 80,759 10⁻⁶ m²

area is

        A₂ = π/4   d₂²

        d₂ = \sqrt{4  A_2 / \pi }

        d₂ = \sqrt{ \frac{4 \ 80.759 \ 10^{-6} }{\pi } }

        d₂ = 10.14 10⁻³ m

        d₂ = 1.014 cm

A vertical wire carries a current straight up in a region where the magnetic field vector points due north. What is the directio
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

Explanation:

Given;

direction of the magnetic field to be due north

Applying right hand rule which states that: to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a positive moving charge point the thumb of the right hand in the direction of velocity v, the fingers in the direction of magnetic field B, and a perpendicular to the palm points in the direction of magnetic force.

Since the magnetic force must be perpendicular to the magnetic field, and direction of the magnetic field is due north, then the magnetic force must be due East.

Therefore, the direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

3 Draw energy transfer diagrams
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The outline of the energy transfer are;

a) Kinetic energy → Clockwork spring → Potential energy

b) Potential energy in clockwork car → Clockwork spring coil unwound → Clockwork car run

c) Chemical potential energy → Batteries in the car → Electric motors → Kinetic energy

Please find attached the drawings of the energy transfer created with MS Visio

Explanation:

The energy transfer diagrams are diagrams that can be used to indicate the part of a system where energy is stored and the form and location to which the energy is transferred

a) The energy transfer diagram for the winding up a clockwork car is given as follows;

Mechanical kinetic energy is used to wind up (turn) the clockwork car such that the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy and stored in the wound up clockwork as follows;

Kinetic energy → Clockwork spring → Potential energy

b) Letting a wound up clockwork car run results in the conversion of mechanical potential energy into kinetic (energy due tom motion) energy as follows;

Potential energy in clockwork car → Clockwork spring coil unwound → Clockwork car run

c) The energy stored in the battery of a battery powered car is chemical potential energy. When the battery powered car runs, the chemical potential energy produces an electromotive force which is converted into kinetic energy as electric current flows from the batteries

Therefore, we have;

Chemical potential energy → Batteries in the car → Electric motors → Kinetic energy

In the aftermath of an intense earthquake, the earth as a whole "rings" with a period of 54 minutes.
lawyer [7]

The frequency of the oscillation in hertz is calculated to be 0.00031 Hz.

The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of cycles completed per second while the period refers to the time taken to complete a cycle. The frequency is the inverse of period.

So;

Period(T) = 54 minutes or 3240 seconds

Frequency (f) = T-1 = 1/T = 1/3240 seconds = 0.00031 Hz
