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

The student soon loses his balance and falls backwards off the board at a velocity of 1.0 m/s. Assuming momentum is conserved in
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

v2 = 27.3m/s

Explanation:

Assuming forward as positive.

Mass = m1 = 64kg

Let v be the common velocity of the student and the skateboard.

mass of skateboard = m2 = 5.94kg

v = 1.4m/s

Since the skateboard and the student are initially moving together at the same velocity their momentum together is

(m1 + m2)v

Let the final velocity of the student be v1 and the final velocity of the skateboard be v2

v1 = – 1.0m/s (falls backwards that's why the velocity is negative since we are assuming forward as positive)

Then from conservation of momentum, momentum before is equal to momentum after.

(m1 + m2)v = m1v1 + m2v2

m2v2= (m1 + m2)v – m1v1

v2 = ( (m1 + m2)v – m1v1)/m2

v2 = ( (64 + 5.94)×1.4 – 64×(-1.0))/5.94

v2 = ( (64 + 5.94)×1.4 + 64×1.0)/5.94

v2 = 27.3m/s

A 50.0 kg object rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300 and
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

f=140\ N

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of the object on a horizontal surface, m=50\ kg
  • coefficient of static friction, \mu_s=0.3
  • coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k=0.2
  • horizontal force on the object, F=140\ N

<u>Now the value of limiting frictional force offered by the contact surface tending to have a relative motion under the effect of force:</u>

F_s=\mu_s.N

where:

N= normal force of reaction acting on the body= weight of the body

F_s=0.3\times (50\times 9.8)

F_s=147\ N

As we know that the frictional force acting on the body is always in the opposite direction:

So, the frictional force will not be at its maximum and will be equal in magnitude to the applied external force and hence the body will not move.

so, the frictional force will be:

f=140\ N
