Explain how Pascal's principle can be used to design a fluid power system and describe how a fluid power system works.

1 answer:

4 0

Pascal's law of fluid transfer states that when there is an increase in fluid pressure, the rest of the extrinsic variables also increases. For example, in a flow of liquid in an orifice, there is a contraction of diameter in the orifice part. The fluid that will go in there increases in pressure and thereby an increase in velocity as well.

Recall from Chapter 1 that a watt is a unit of en- ergy per unit time, and one watt (W) is equal to one joule per second ( J·s–1

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the equation $E_p=h f$ , where h is the <em>Planck constant</em> and f the frequency of the photon. Thus, N photons of frequency f will give an energy of $E_N=N h f$ .

We also know that frequency and wavelength are related by $f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ , so we have $E_N=\frac{N h c}{\lambda}$ , where c is the <em>speed of light</em>.

We will want the number of photons, so we can write

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}$

We need to know then how much energy do we have to calculate N. The equation of power is $P=E/t$ , so for the power we have and considering 1 second we can calculate the total energy, and then only consider the 4% of it which will produce light, or better said, the N photons, which means it will be $E_N$ .

Putting this paragraph in equations:

$E_N=(\frac{4}{100})E=0.04Pt=(0.04)(100W)(1s)=4J$ .

And then we can substitute everything in our equation for number of photons, in S.I. and getting the values of constants from tables:

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}=\frac{(520 \times10^{-9}m) (4J)}{(6.626\times10^{-34}Js) (299792458m/s)}=1.047 \times10^{19}$

Does the air exert a buoyant force on all objects in air or only on objects such as balloons that are very light for their size?

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

Buoyancy is the force that causes objects to float. It is the force exerted on an object that is partly or wholly immersed in a fluid. Buoyancy is caused by the differences in pressure acting on opposite sides of an object immersed in a static fluid. It is also known as the buoyant force. Buoyancy is the phenomena due to Buoyant Force.

It is as an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object immersed in a fluid. As we know, the pressure in a fluid column increases with depth. Thus, the pressure at the bottom of an object submerged in the fluid is greater than that at the top. The difference in this pressure results in a net upward force on the object which we define as buoyancy.

- The formula for buoyant force (Fb) is given:

Fb = ρ*g*V

- The force acts on all objects. However, it depends on the fluid density and amount of volume displaced.

- The Buoyant force exerted by air with density = 1.225 kg/m^3 on an object with volume (V) is:

Fb = ρ*g*V = 1.225*9.81*V = 12.02*V

- For the similar object with mass (m), the downward weight would be:

W = m*g

- For the object to float the buoyant force (Fb) must be greater than weight of the object:

Fb > W

12.02*V > m*9.81

V / m > 0.816

- The ratio of V / m must be at-least = 0.816.

- Assuming the object is fully immersed in air, then the volume displaced V = ρ_material*V

ρ_material < 1 / 0.816

ρ_material < 1.225 or ( ρ_air )

- So the for an object to float in air its material density must always be less than that of air. That why in balloons lighter gas is used which have density less than that of air like Helium.

Mike is a runner. Mike runs 200m in 25s; what is his average velocity during the run? assume that units are in m/s. (asap, will

maw [93]

Velocity is displacement/time
(Displacement is the overall change in distance)

So you’ll want to divide 200 by 25, which should give you:

8 m/s

How can inclined planes change the amount of force to move an object? A. Increase height of the inclined plane B. Increase dista

mash [69]

Answer:

Option ( B ) is correct .

Explanation:

To lift a heavy weight , inclined plane is used . Use of inclined plane , makes the task easier because instead of force mg , force mg sinθ is to be used which is less than mg . Here θ is inclination of inclined plane.

If h be the height by which weight is to be lifted

potential energy acquired by weight = mgh

work done by force mg sinθ = mgsinθ x d where d is displacement required .

mg sinθ x d = mgh ( work done by force = potential energy stored in luggage )

d = h / sinθ

d will be more than h

Hence inclined plane increases the distance to be covered by force applied though it decreases the force itself.

Hence option ( B ) is correct .

Which best explains why sound travels faster through a solid

Masteriza [31]

Its because the molecules in the solid structures are very close to each other and rigidly packed, thus due to this quantum structure they have pretty awesome speed of sound in them
