An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problems is the Froude number defined as V/√g.l where V is a

velocity, the acceleration of gravity g, and a length l. Determine the value of the Froude number for v=10ft/s, g=32.2ft/s2, l=2 ft and Recalculate the Froude number using SI units for and Explain the significance of the results of these calculations.

Answer:

1.24611

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 10 ft/s

L = Length = 2 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

Froude number is given by

Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{32.2\times 2}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611

Converting to SI units

10\ ft/s=10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

32.2\ ft/s^2=32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

2\ ft=2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}{\sqrt{32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}\times 2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611

The Froude number is 1.24611

The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.

One speaker generates sound waves with amplitude A.
raketka [301]

Answer:

iv) It is 9x bigger than before

Explanation:

As the amplitudes of the new speakers add directly with the original one, taking into account the phase that they have, the composed amplitude of the sound wave is as follows:

At = A + 4A -2A = 3 A

The intensity of the wave, assuming it propagates evenly in all directions, is constant at a given distance from the source, and can be expressed as follows:

I = P/A

where P= Power of the wave source, A= Area (for a point source, is equal to the surface area of a sphere of radius r, where is r is the distance to the source along a straight line)

For a sinusoidal wave, the power is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so the intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude also.

If the amplitude changes increasing three times, the change in intensity will be proportional to the square of the change in amplitude, i.e., it will be 9 times bigger.

So, the statement iv) is the right one.

Which type of telescope does not require darkness in order to be able to use it?
exis [7]

Answer:

A type of telescope that does not require darkness in order to be able to use it is the refracting telescope

Explanation:

A refracting telescope consists of  a lens and an eyepiece collects light which is then focused to present a magnified, bright and clear  image.

The incident light on a refracting telescope is bent by refraction such that the light is focused to the focal point.

In refracting telescopes, the image is formed by bending light, that is by refraction.

The refracting telescope technology has been applied to binoculars and camera zoom lenses.

You are doing x-ray diffraction on a crystal that has a cubic structure, using 0.340-nm x rays. Part A If the lattice spacing is
Mrac [35]

Answer:

∅ = 0.26°

Explanation:

Bragg's law states that:

n×λ = 2×d×sin(∅)

<em>where:</em>

  • <em>d is the lattice spacing.</em>
  • <em>λ is the wavelength of the rays.</em>
  • <em>n is the order of the diffracted rays, n = 1.</em>

then:

sin(∅) = λ/2×d

    ∅ = sin^-1(λ/2×d)

    ∅ = 0.26°
