Water is pumped through a pipe of diameter 15.0 cm, from the Colorado River up to Grand Canyon Village, located on the rim of th

e canyon. The river is at an elevation of 564 m, and the village is at an elevation of 2096 m. What is the minimum pressure at which the water must be pumped if it is to arrive at the village?

Answer:

p= 1.50289×10⁷ N/m²

Explanation:

Given

HA = (564 m)................(River Elevation)

HB = (2096 m).............(Village Elevation)

Area = A =(π/4){Diameter}² = (π/4){0.15 m}² = 0.017671 m²

ρ = (1 gram/cm³) = (1000 kg/m³)........(Water Density)

p(pressure)=?

Solution

p=PA - PB

p= ρ*g*HB - ρ*g*HA

p= (ρ*g)*(HB - HA)

p= (1000×9.81 )×{2096  - 564}  

p= 1.50289×10⁷ N/m²

a 2000 kg truck is traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s. What velocity must a 1000 kg car have in order to have the same momentum a
Molodets [167]

The car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is measured as the product of mass of object with the velocity attained by that object.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Mass × Velocity

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = 2000×30 = 60000 N

Similarly, the momentum of 1000 kg car will be 1000× velocity of the 1000 kg car.

Since, it is stated that momentum of 2000 kg truck is equal to the momentum of 1000 kg of car, then the velocity of 1000 kg of car can be determined by equating the momentum of car and truck.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Momentum of 1000 kg car

60000=1000×velocity of 1000 kg car

Velocity of 1000 kg car = 60000/1000=60 m/s

So, the car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.

Write a scientific explanation to describe where earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur and their relation to plate bound
vovangra [49]
Earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur around plate boundaries because of the movement from the plate boundaries. The interactions between the plates by moving under, upon, or sliding against other boundaries may cause earthquakes and volcanoes.
