When you urinate, you increase pressure in your bladder to produce the flow. For an elephant, gravity does the work. An elephant

urinates at a remarkable rate of 0.0060 m3 (a bit over a gallon and a half) per second. Assume that the urine exits 1.0 m below the bladder and passes through the urethra, which we can model as a tube of diameter 8.0 cm and length 1.2 m. Assume that urine has the same density as water, and that viscosity can be ignored for this flow.
1) What is the speed of the flow?
2) If we assume that the liquid is at rest in the bladder (a reasonable assumption) and that the pressure where the urine exits is equal to atmospheric pressure, what does Bernoulli's equation give for the pressure in the bladder?

Answer:

a) v =  1.19 m / s , b)   P₁ = 0.922 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

1) Let's use the fluid continuity equation

       Q = A v

The area of ​​a circle is

      A = π r2 = π d²/4

     

     v = Q / A = Q 4 / pi d²

     v = 0.006 4/π 0.08²

     v =  1.19 m / s

2) write Bernoulli's equation, where point 1 is the bladder and point 2 is the urine exit point

     P₁ + ½ rho v₁² + rho g y₁ = P₂ + ½ rho v₂² + rho g y₂

The exercise tell us

P₂ = 1.0013 105 Pa

v₁ = 0

y₁ = 1 m

y₂=0  

Rho (water) = 1000 kg / m³

      P₁ + rho y₁ = P₂ + ½ rho v₂²

      P₁ = P₂ + ½ rho v₂² - rho g y₁

      P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ + ½ 1000 (1.19)² - 1000 9.8 1

      P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ +708.5  - 9800

      P₁ =  92208.5Pa

      P₁ = 0.922 10⁵ Pa

How does the loneliest whale relate to physics/waves.
Lelechka [254]
Answer: the loneliest whale relates to the communication that whales give to each other

Explanation: whales have different forms of communication , and the ‘loneliest’ whale can’t get any company by the other whales.


In other words: it may be a new and different way whales communicate, nobody knows much about the loneliest whale. It may be forming a new kind of communication

As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a p
kherson [118]

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of each of the electric forces between two point-at-rest charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

In this case we have an electron (-e) and a proton (e), so:

F=-\frac{ke^2}{d^2}\\F=-\frac{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{s^2}(1.6*10^{-19}C)^2}{(933*10^{-9}m)^2}\\F=-2.64*10^{-16}N

In this case, the electric force is negative, therefore, the force is repulsive and its magnitude is:

F=2.64*10^{-16}N

AIR MASSES!!
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A : hot and moist, maritime tropical

B: cold and dry, maritime polar

C: hot and moist , maritime tropical

D: cold and dry, continental polar

E: hot and moist , maritime tropical

F: cold and dry , maritime polar

Explanation:

Cold air is denser than warm air. The more water vapor that is in the air, the less dense the air becomes. That is why cold, dry air is much heavier than warm, humid air.

Maritime polar (mP) air masses are cool, moist, and unstable. Some maritime polar air masses originate as continental polar air masses over Asia and move westward over the Pacific, collecting warmth and moisture from the ocean. 

Maritime tropical (mT) air masses are warm, moist, and usually unstable.

They create a heat engine where the hot reservoir is filled with water and steam at equilibrium, and the cold reservoir is fille
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The efficiency of Carnot's heat engine is 26.8 %.

Explanation:

Temperature of hot reservoir, TH = 100 degree C = 373 K

temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 0 degree C = 273 K

The efficiency of Carnot's heat engine is

\eta = 1-\frac{Tc}{T_H}\\\\\eta = 1 -\frac{273}{373}\\\\\eta =  0.268 =26.8 %

The efficiency of Carnot's heat engine is 26.8 %.
