A 100 ft3 /s water jet (density 62.4 lbm/ft3 ) is moving in the positive x-direction with velocity 20 ft/s. The stream hits a st

ationary splitter, such that half of the flow is diverted upward at 45° and the other half is directed downward at 45°, and both streams have a final speed of 18 ft/s. Disregarding gravitational and viscous effects, determine the force required to hold the splitter in place against the water force.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial Flow of water=100 ft^3/s

density \rho =62.4 lbm/ft^3

Initial velocity(v_i)=20 ft/s

Final velocity (v_f)=18 ft/s

Initial mass flow rate=\rho Av=\rho Q

m_i=62.4\times 100=62.4\times 10^2 lbm/s

Let area of cross section of Two streams after striking be A

Conserving Flow

Q_i=Q_1+Q_2

100=A\times 18+A\times 18

A=\frac{50}{18} ft^2

or Flow rate after splitter splits in to half

Q_i=2Q_f

conserving momentum in x direction

Final momentum in x direction =m\times v

P_f=2\times \rho \frac{Q}{2}\times 18\times \cos 45

P_i=\rho Q\times 20

Change in momentum=P_i-P_f

=20\rho \times Q-\frac{18\rho Q}{\sqrt{2}}

=7.28\times 62.4\times 100

=45,427.2 lbm-ft/s^2

F=1409.24 lbf

change of momentum in Y direction is  zero as the two flows oppose thier motion after striking with splitter.

Pls help ASAP. This is astronomy but there isn't an option :)
marin [14]

From largest to smallest they are: Universe, galaxy, solar system, star, planet, moon and asteroid.

Explanation:Let's describe them from smallest to largest. In fact the size order is not exact as there are exceptions.An asteroid is a rocky body which lies in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They are typically quite small object. The largest asteroid Ceres has been reclassified as a dwarf planet.A moon is typically a rocky body which is in orbit around a planet. Some moons such as our Moon are quite large and are typically bigger than asteroid. Some moons can actually be smaller than some asteroids.A planet is a nearly spherical body which is in orbit around the Sun. Planets are larger than moons.A star is what planets orbit around. It is the source of light and heat. Our Sun is a star which is many times bigger than all of the planets.A solar system is a star and all of its planets, asteroids, comets and other bodies. It is significantly bigger than a star.A galaxy, such as our Milky Way Galaxy, is a collection of solar systems orbiting around a central core. Most galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their centres.Galaxies also form clusters which are large scale structures.The universe is everything. It contains billions of galaxies. Lots of information RIGHT!!!!

Chord progressions that move to resting points that release tension are called
Sav [38]

Cadences.

These cadences are the resulting tensions that chords release from their resting points. This movement is classified from a unstable chord progression to a stable one.  Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in Brainly your queries.

A motorcycle traveling at a speed of 44.0 mi/h needs a minimum of 44.0 ft to stop. If the same motorcycle is traveling 79.0 mi/h
Tasya [4]

Answer:

141.78 ft

Explanation:

When speed, u = 44mi/h, minimum stopping distance, s = 44 ft = 0.00833 mi.

Calculating the acceleration using one of Newton's equations of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v = 0 mi/h\\\\u = 44 mi/h\\\\s = 0.00833 mi\\\\=> 0^2 = 44^2 + 2 * a * 0.00833\\\\=> 1936 = -0.01666a\\\\a = -116206.48 mi/h^2 or -14.43 m/s^2

Note: The negative sign denotes deceleration.

When speed, v = 79mi/h, the acceleration is equal to when it is 44mi/h i.e. -116206.48 mi/h^2

Hence, we can find the minimum stopping distance using:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v = 0 mi/h\\\\u = 79 mi/h\\\\a = -116206.48 mi/h\\\\=> 0^2 = 79^2 + (2 * -116206.48 * s)\\\\6241 = 232412.96s\\\\s = \frac{6241}{232412.96} \\\\s = 0.0268531 mi = 141.78 ft

The minimum stopping distance is 141.78 ft.

If two different theories describe experimental observations equally well, can one be said to be more valid than the other (assu
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

In such situations we cannot determine which one is more valid as both serves the purpose well.

Two theories are carried out in different environment and circumstance keeping different parameters and one can opt for any number of ways to carry out that experiment but what matter at the end is the accuracy they bring.

Each of the theory is a new discovery and follows all the possible logical rules hence it is not possible to decide which one is more valid.
