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

Rest and motion are relative terms. write in brief​
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body.

Explanation With Example:

Imagine you are sitting inside a moving bus. When you look outside you will observe that you are moving. ... With respect to the roof of bus, you are at rest. Hence it is concluded that rest and motion are relative terms.

Time period of a simple pendulum is measured at Karachi. What change will occur in the time period, if it is measured on mount e
Reil [10]
The period of a pendulum is given by T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{l}{g} }
since Karachi is near sea level, g is larger than it is on Mt. Everest.  That means the pendulum will have a larger period on Mt. Everest than it would in Karachi.

The motorcycle travels with a constant speed v0 along the path that, for a short distance, takes the form of a sine curve. Deter
Alexandra [31]

Let at any instant of time the speed is vo and the angle made by the bike with the horizontal is given

now we have

component of speed in x direction given as

v_x = v_0cos\theta

component of speed in y direction will be

v_y = v_0sin\theta

now from above two equations we can say that here

\theta = angle with the horizontal at any instant

and since here it is a sine curve so we know that

y = sin(x)

so we have slope of graph

tan\theta = \frac{dy}{dx} = cos(x)

A 60 kg skier starts from rest at the top of a frictionless slope of height of 35 meters. The velocity at the bottom is v. If a
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of skier without parachute

= √ 2gh

= √ 2 x 9.8 x 35

= 26.2 m / s

Speed of skier with parachute

net force downwards

mg - 200

= 60 x 9.8 -200

= 388 N

acceleration = 388 / 60

a = 6.47 m / s

v = √ 2ah

= √ 2 x 6.47 x 35

= 21.28 m / s

Beryllium has a charge of 2, and bromine has a charge of –1. which is the best name for the ionic bond that forms between them?
Otrada [13]

The best name for the ionic bond that forms between them is Beryllium Bromide.

We have been provided with data,

Beryllium charge, q = 2

Bromine charge, q = -1

As we know the valance electron of Be is +2  and the valance electron of bromine is -1. Since one is metallic and the other is non-metallic.

Now, when they combine they exchange valance electron, and bromine change into bromide so they form Beryllium Bromide.

So, the best name for the ionic bond that forms between them is Beryllium Bromide.
