2013 Indianapolis 500 champion Tony Kanaan holds his hand out of his IndyCar while driving through still air with standard atmos

pheric conditions. (a) For safety, the pit lane speed limit is 60 mph. At this speed, what is the maximum pressure on his hand? (b) Back on the race track, what is the maximum pressure when he is driving his IndyCar at 225 mph? (c) On the straightaways, the IndyCar reaches speeds in excess of 235 mph. For this speed, is your solution method for parts (a and (b) reasonable? Explain.

Answer:

(a). The pressure is 14.76 psi.

(b). The pressure is 15.59 psi.

(c). The pressure is 15.68 psi.

All answer are reasonable.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed v₁= 60 mph

Speed v₂ = 225 mph

Speed v₃ = 235 mph

(a). We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

P_{1}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v^2+\rho gh

there, no vertical movement

So, on neglect of height term

P_{1}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2

Where, P= atmospheric pressure

\rho = air density

v = speed

Put the value in the equation

P_{1}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(60\times1.4667)^2)

P_{1}=2126.0\ lb/ft^2

P_{1}=\dfrac{2126.0}{144}

P_{1}= 14.76\ psi

(b). Speed v₂ = 225 mph

We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

P_{2}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2

Put the value in the equation

P_{2}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(225\times1.4667)^2)

P_{2}=2246.17\ lb/ft^2

P_{2}=\dfrac{2246.17}{144}

P_{2}= 15.59\ psi

(c).  Speed v₃ = 235 mph

We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

P_{3}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{3}^2

Put the value in the equation

P_{3}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(235\times1.4667)^2)

P_{3}=2257.93\ lb/ft^2

P_{3}=\dfrac{2257.93}{144}

P_{3}= 15.68\ psi

According to bernoulli's equation,

If the car increases the velocity the the pressure on the surface of the driver's hand increases.

The pressure from P₁ to P₃ are all near the value of one atmosphere.

So, the pressure difference of one atmosphere is not enough to break the driver's hand.

Hence, (a). The pressure is 14.76 psi.

(b). The pressure is 15.59 psi.

(c). The pressure is 15.68 psi.

All answer are reasonable.

At the very end of Wagner's series of operas The Ring of Nibelung, Brunnhilde takes the golden ring form the finger of the dead
Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) 404 m² b) apparent height = 7.5 m

Explanation:

This question is about refraction and total internal refraction.

Here I will take refractive index of air and water

n_{air}=1\\ n_{water}=1.33=4/3

Now let's look at the diagram I have attached here

At some angle A, the light from the ring (yellow point) under water will be totally internally refracted (B = 90°), which means that rays of light (yellow arrow) that make large enough angle A will not be able to escape from the water. Since we assumed that the ring is a point, there will be a critical cone of angle A with the ring at its apex which traces a circle of radius R on the surface of water, which, beyond this radius, no light could escape.

According to snell's law

\frac{sin(B)}{sin(A)} = \frac{n_{water}}{n_{air}} = 4/3

At critical angle B = 90°

\frac{3)}{4}sin(B) = [tex]\frac{3}{4} sin(90^\circ ) = 0.75 = sin(A)

Therefore

A = 48.6^\circ

With this, we can find the radius of the circle (refer to my diagram)

h* tan (A) = R\\R =11.3 m

And with that we can find the area

A = \pi R^2=404\ m^2

Additional Problem

For apparent depth from above, we can think that, since we are accustomed to seeing light at the speed of c in air, our brain interpret light from <em>any</em> source to be traveling at c. This causes light that originated under water, which has the speed of

v_{water} = \frac{c}{n_{water}} = 0.75c

to appear as if it has traveled with the same duration as light with speed c

In order for this to happen our brain perceive shortened length  which is the apparent depth.

To put it in mathematical term

t_{travel}=\frac{h_{apparent}}{v_{water}} =\frac{h}{c}

So we get apparent depth

h_{apparent}=0.75h = 7.5\ m

Smaller mammals use proportionately more energy than larger mammals; that is, it takes more energy per gram to power a mouse tha
timama [110]

Answer:

10,200 Cal. per day

Explanation:

The mouse consumes 3.0 Cal each day, and has a mass of 20 grams. We can use this data to obtain a ratio of energy consumption per mass

\frac{3.0 \ Cal}{20 g} = 0.15 \frac{Cal}{g}.

For the human, we need to convert the 68 kilograms to grams. We can do this with a conversion factor. We know that:

1 \ kg = 1000 \ g,

Now, we can divide by 1 kg on each side

\frac{1 \ kg}{1 \ kg} = \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg},

1 = \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg}.

Using this conversion factor, we can obtain the mass of the human in grams, instead of kilograms. First, lets take:

mass_{human} = 68 \ kg

We can multiply this mass for the conversion factor, we are allowed to do this, cause the conversion factor equals 1, and its adimensional

mass_{human} = 68 \ kg * \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg}

mass_{human} = 68,000 g

Now that we know the mass of the human on grams, we can multiply for our ratio of energy consumption

68,000 \ g * 0.15 \frac{Cal}{g} = 10,200 \ Cal

So, we would need 10,200  Cal per day.
