The volume of liquid flowing per second is called the volume flow rate Q and has the dimensions of [L]3/[T]. The flow rate of li

quid through a hypodermic needle during an injection can be estimated with the following equation. Q = πRn P2 − P1 8ηL The length and radius of the needle are L and R, respectively, both of which have the dimension [L]. The pressures at opposite ends of the needle are P2 and P1, both of which have the dimensions of [M]/{[L][T]2}. The symbol η represents the viscosity of the liquid and has the dimensions of [M]/{[L][T]}. The symbol π stands for pi and, like the number 8 and the exponent n, has no dimensions. Using dimensional analysis, determine the value of n in the expression for Q.

Answer: n=4

Explanation:

We have the following expression for the volume flow rate Q of a hypodermic needle:

Q=\frac{\pi R^{n}(P_{2}-P_{1})}{8\eta L}  (1)

Where the dimensions of each one is:

Volume flow rate Q=\frac{L^{3}}{T}

Radius of the needle R=L

Length of the needle L=L

Pressures at opposite ends of the needle P_{2} and P_{1}=\frac{M}{LT^{2}}

Viscosity of the liquid \eta=\frac{M}{LT}

We need to find the value of n whicha has no dimensions, and in order to do this, we have to rewritte (1) with its dimensions:

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi L^{n}(\frac{M}{LT^{2}})}{8(\frac{M}{LT}) L}  (2)

We need the right side of the equation to be equal to the left side of the equation (in dimensions):

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{n}}{LT}  (3)

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{n-1}}{T}  (4)

As we can see n must be 4 if we want the exponent to be 3:

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{4-1}}{T}  (5)

Finally:

\frac{L^{3}}{T}=\frac{\pi}{8} \frac{ L^{3}}{T}  (6)

The fatty layer contains many nerves and blood vessels. True or False
mylen [45]

Answer:

False , The fatty layer do not contains many nerves and blood vessels. The fatty layer is related to skin layers.

Explanation:

The fatty layer is the most under a layer of skin. It made up of a system of collagen and fat cells. It helps maintain the body's temperature and shields the body from harm by serving as a shock absorber.

The dermis is the central layer of the skin. The dermis is maintained collectively by a protein termed collagen. This layer gives skin elasticity and power. The dermis also holds shock and feel receptors.

Vector A has a magnitude of 30 units. Vector B is perpendicular to vector Aand has a magnitude of 40 units. What would the magni
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units

Explanation:

As we know that magnitude of two vectors is given as

|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB cos\theta}

here we know that

A = magnitude of vector A

B = magnitude of vector B

\theta = angle between two vectors

so here we know that

A = 30 units

B = 40 units

angle = 90 degree

so we have

|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2 + 2(30)(40)cos90}

|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}

|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units

A ball is shot from the ground into the air. At a height of 8.8 m, the velocity is observed to be
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

h = 10.4 m

R = 22.48 m

v= 16,2 m/s , α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

Explanation:

The ball describes a parabolic path, and the equations of the movement are:

Equation of the uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) :

x = vx*t  :

Equations of the uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward   (vertical ).

y = (v₀y)*t - (1/2)*g*t² Equation (2)

vfy² = v₀y² -2gy Equation (3)

vfy = v₀y -gt Equation (4)

Where:  

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity  in m  

y: vertical position in meters (m)  

v₀y: initial  vertical velocity  in m/s  

vfy: final  vertical velocity  in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Known data

y= 8.8 m

v = ( (7.7)i + (5.7)j  ) m/s : vx= 7.7 m/s , vy= 5.7 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Calculation of the  initial  vertical velocity ( v₀y)

We apply Equation (3) with the known data

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

(5.7)² = (v₀y)²- (2)*(9.8)*(8.8)

(5.7)²+ 172.48 =  (v₀y)²

v_{oy} = \sqrt{(5.7)^{2}+ 172.48 }

v₀y = 14.3 m/s

Calculation of the maximum height  the ball rise (h)

In the maximum height vfy=0

We apply the Equation (3) :

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

0 = (14.3)² - 2*98*h

h = (14.3)² / 19.6

h = 10.4 m

Calculation of the time it takes for the ball to the maximum height

We apply the Equation (4) :

vfy = v₀y -gt

0 = v₀y -gt

gt = v₀y

t = v₀y/g

t = 14.3/9.8

t= 1.46 s

Flight time = 2t = 2.92 s

Total horizontal distance traveled by the ball  (R)

We replace data in the equation (1)

x =vx*t    vx= 7.7 m/s , t =2.92 s  (Flight time)

R = (7.7)* (2.92) = 22.48 m

Velocity of the ball (magnitude (v) and direction (α)) the instant before it hits the ground

vx = 7.7 m/s

vy = v₀y -gt = 14.3 - 9.8* (2.92) = -14.3 m/s

v= \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}  }

v= \sqrt{(7.7)^{2}+ (-14.3)^{2}  }

v= 16,2 m/s

\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x} })

\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{-14.3 }{7.7 })

α = -61.7°

α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

i- j components of the v

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

An 4.0-kg fish pulled upward by a fisherman rises 1.9 m in 2.4 s, starting
mina [271]

Answer:

2.64N  

Explanation:

Force = mass * acceleration

Given

mass = 4kg

distance = 1.9m

Time t = 2.4s

Get the acceleration using the equation of motion

S = ut + 1/2at²

1.9 = 0 + 1/2a(2.4)²

1.9 = 5.76a/2

1.9 = 2.88a

a = 1.9/2.88

a = 0.66m/s²

Get the magnitude of the force

Force = 4 * 0.66

Force = 2.64N

Hence the net force acting on the fish is 2.64N
