Two identical wooden barrels are fitted with long pipes extending out their tops. The pipe on the first barrel is 1 foot in diam

eter, and the pipe on the second barrel is only 1/2 inch in diameter. When the larger pipe is filled with water to a height of 20 feet, the barrel bursts. To burst the second barrel, will water have to be added to a height less than, equal to, or greater than 20 feet? Explain.

Answer:

<em>The 1/2 inch barrel will burst at the same height of 20 ft</em>

Explanation:

The pressure on a column of fluid increases with depth, and decreases with height. This means that if you increase the height of the fluid in the column, the pressure at the bottom will increase.

From the equation of fluid pressure,

P = ρgh

where

P is the pressure at the bottom of the fluid due to its height

ρ is the density of the fluid in question

h is the height to which the water stand.

You notice how apart from the height 'h' in the equation, all the other parts of the right hand side of the equation cannot be varied; they are a fixed property of the fluid and gravity. And there is no consideration for the horizontal diameter of the water's cross section area.

We can also think of the pressure at the bottom of the fluid to be as a result of an incremental weight of an infinitesimally small vertical section of the water down.

That been said, we can then say that if the barrel with the 1 ft diameter dimension bursts when filled with water up to 20 ft, then, the barrel with the reduced diameter will still burst at the same height as the former pipe.

NB: The only way to stop the pipe from bursting is to increase the thickness of the barrel wall to counteract the pressure forces due to the height.

If a particle undergoes shm with amplitude 0.21 m, what is the total distance it travels in one period?
Ymorist [56]
If a particle undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 0.21 meters, this means that the maximum displacement of the particle from its resting position is 0.21. For one period, it traveled from its starting position which is twice the amplitude and then back to its original position which is another distance that is twice the amplitude as well. Therefore, the total distance it traveled is 2*amplitude + 2*amplitude = 2*0.21 + 2*0.21 = 0.42 + 0.42 = 0.84 meters.

PHYSICS CIRCUIT QUESTION PLEASE HELP!! 20 Points!
dimulka [17.4K]
This really calls for a blackboard and a hunk of chalk, but
I'm going to try and do without.

If you want to understand what's going on, then PLEASE
keep drawing visible as you go through this answer, either
on the paper or else on a separate screen.

The energy dissipated by the circuit is the energy delivered by
the battery.  We'd know what that is if we knew  I₁ .  Everything that
flows in this circuit has to go through  R₁ , so let's find  I₁  first.

-- R₃ and R₄ in series make 6Ω.
-- That 6Ω in parallel with R₂ makes 3Ω.
-- That 3Ω in series with R₁ makes 10Ω across the battery.
--  I₁ is  10volts/10Ω  =  1 Ampere.

-- R1:  1 ampere through 7Ω ... V₁ = I₁ · R₁ = 7 volts .

-- The battery is 10 volts. 
    7 of the 10 appear across R₁ .
   So the other 3 volts appear across all the business at the bottom.

-- R₂:  3 volts across it = V₂. 
           Current through it is  I₂ = V₂/R₂ = 3volts/6Ω = 1/2 Amp.

-- R3 + R4:  6Ω in the series combination
                     3 volts across it
                     Current through it is I = V₂/R = 3volts/6Ω = 1/2 Ampere

--  Remember that the current is the same at every point in
a series circuit.  I₃  and  I₄  must be the same 1/2 Ampere,
because there's no place in the branch where electrons can
be temporarily stored, no place for them to leak out, and no
supply of additional electrons.

-- R₃:  1/2 Ampere through it = I₃ .
           1/2 Ampere through 2Ω ... V₃ = I₃ · R₃ = 1 volt

-- R₄:  1/2 Ampere through it = I₄
           1/2 Ampere through 4Ω ... V₄ = I₄ · R₄ = 2 volts

Notice that  I₂  is 1/2 Amp, and (I₃ , I₄) is also 1/2 Amp.
So the sum of currents through the two horizontal branches is 1 Amp,
which exactly matches  I₁  coming down the side, just as it should.
That means that at the left side, at the point where R₁, R₂, and R₃ all
meet, the amount of current flowing into that point is the same as the
amount flowing out ... electrons are not piling up there.

Concerning energy, we could go through and calculate the energy
dissipated by each resistor and then addum up.  But why bother ?
The energy dissipated by the resistors has to come from the battery,
so we only need to calculate how much the battery is supplying, and
we'll have it.

The power supplied by the battery  = (voltage) · (current)

                                                         =  (10 volts) · (1 Amp) = 10 watts .

"Watt" means "joule per second".
The resistors are dissipating 10 joules per second,
and the joules are coming from the battery.

             (30 minutes) · (60 sec/minute)  =  1,800 seconds

             (10 joules/second) · (1,800 seconds)  =  18,000 joules  in 30 min

The power (joules per second) dissipated by each individual resistor is

                       P  =  V² / R
             or
                       P  =  I² · R ,

whichever one you prefer.  They're both true.

If you go through the 4 resistors, calculate each one, and addum up, you'll
come out with the same 10 watts / 18,000 joules total. 

They're not asking for that.  But if you did it and you actually got the same
numbers as the battery is supplying, that would be a really nice confirmation
that all of your voltages and currents are correct.

Water flows through a garden hose which is attached to a nozzle. The water flows through hose with a speed of 1.81 m/s and throu
Serggg [28]

Answer:

a) 17.086m

b) 0.1671 m

Explanation:

Given data: speed of water through the hose  = 1.81 m/s

through the nozzle = 18.3 m/s

We know that maximum height of an object with upward velocity v is given by,

a) H = v^2/2g

where H is the maximum height water emerges  

= 18.3^2/(2×9.8) = 17.086 m answer

b) Again,  

H = v^2/2g

= 1.81^2/(2×9.8) = 0.1671 m

What is static electricity? explain how electrons are involved <br>please answer asap ​
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Electricity produced via friction is a development of electric charges on articles. Energizes construct when negative electrons are moved starting with one article then onto the next. The article that surrenders electrons turns out to be decidedly charged, and the item that acknowledges the electrons turns out to be contrarily charged. This can occur in a few different ways.
