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

Kinetic vs potential energy
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy obtained from movement while potential energy is the energy in something when it is at a height or has been manipulated in some way; it has work done to it.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is, like I said, energy gained through movement or action. When an object stops moving, it converts into a different type of energy. Energy cannot be destroyed or created. An object with potential energy has a reference. A reference determines how high it is. The higher and heavier an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Hope this helps!

Ideal gases are often studied at standard ambient temperature and pressure (satp). The international union of pure and applied c
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

This problem provides information about the pressure and temperature ideal gases are studied at. The answer to the questions are that all molecules have the same density, 2.43x10²⁵ mol/m³ and 2.43x10¹⁹ mol/cm³.

<h3>Idela gases</h3>

In science, we can start studying gases with the concept of ideal gas, as they do not collide one to another and are assumed to be perfect spheres with no relevant interactions.

In such a way, one can conclude that the <u>number density of all ideal gasses at SATP is the same</u>, as they are assumed to be perfect spheres with equal volumes per molecule.

Moreover, when calculating the number of molecules per cubic meter, one must use the ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT\\\\\frac{N}{V}= \frac{P*N_A}{RT}

And plug in the numbers we are given:

\frac{N}{V}= \frac{100kPa*\frac{1000Pa}{1kPa}*6.022x10^{23}molec/mol}{8.314\frac{Pa*m^3}{mol*K}*298K}=2.43x10^{25}molec/m^3

Lastly, we can calculate the molecules per cubic centimeter by performing the following conversion:

2.43x10^{25}\frac{molec}{m^3}*(\frac{1m}{100cm} )^3\\ \\=2.43x10^{19}\frac{molec}{cm^3}

During an ultrasound, sound waves are sent by a transducer through muscle tissue at a speed of 1300 m/s. Some of the sound waves
alina1380 [7]

2.3 \times 10^{-5} \text { seconds } is the time taken by the transducer to detect the reflected waves from the metal fragment after they were first emitted

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data:

speed, v = 1300 m/s

distance, d = 3.0 cm = 3.00 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{m}

We need to calculate the time taken by the transducer to detect the reflected waves from the metal fragment after they were first emitted.

As we know, the velocity is the ratio of distance and the time travelled by an object. The equation form is given by,

              \text {velocity, } v=\frac{\text {distance }(d)}{\text {time}(t)}

By applying the given values to the above equation, we get

              1300=\frac{3.00 \times 10^{-2}}{t}

              t=\frac{3.00 \times 10^{-2}}{1300}=0.002307 \times 10^{-2}=2.3 \times 10^{-5} \text { seconds }
