The force exerted on a bridge pier in a river is to be tested in a 1:10 scale model using water as the working fluid. In the pro

totype the depth of water is 2.0 m, the velocity of flow is 1.5 m/s and the width of the river is 20 m. If the hydrodynamic force on the model bridge pier is 5 N, what would it be on the prototype? (hint: pressure ratio is equal to the length-scale ratio) (5 points; Ans: 5000 N)

Answer:

f_p = 5000 N

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

pressure ratio = length ratio

force = 5 N

scale = 1:10

velocity = 1.5 m/s

B_p = 20 m

h_p = 2m

As pressure ratio = length ratio so we have

\frac{p_m}{p_p} =\frac{l_m}{l_p} =\frac{1}{10}

\frac{f_m *A_m}{f_p *A_p} ==\frac{1}{10}

\frac{f_m}{f_p} * \frac{A_p}{A_m} = \frac{1}{10}

\frac{f_m}{f_p} * \frac{b_p*h_p}{b_m*h_m} =\frac{1}{10}

5 * \frac{1}{\frac{1}{10}} *\frac{1}{\frac{1}{10}} = \frac{f_p}{10}

solving F_p

f_p = 5000 N

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i
Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Two resistors, R1 and R2, are
dlinn [17]

The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the component resistances:

1/(120.7 Ω) = 1/<em>R₁</em> + 1/(221.0 Ω)

1/<em>R₁</em> = 1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)

<em>R₁</em> = 1 / (1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)) ≈ 265.9 Ω

A person is lying on a diving board 3.50 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

1.995 m

Explanation:

Distance of penny as seen by the person = 5 m

Height of person from water surface = 3.50 m

Apparent depth of penny = 5 - 3.50 = 1.5 m

refractive index of water, n = 1.33

real depth / apparent depth = n

real depth = 1.33 x 1.5 = 1.995 m

Thus, the actual depth of water at that point is 1.995 m.

Metal sphere having an excess of +5 elementary charges has a net electric charge of
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

q=+8.01\cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs

Explanation:

<u>Elementary charge</u>

The elementary charge, denoted by the symbol e is the electric charge carried by a proton or, equivalently, the magnitude of a negative electric charge carried by an electron, which has charge −e.

The value of the elementary charge is a fundamental constant in physics:

\mathbf{e}=1.60217662 \cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs

If a metal sphere has an excess of +5 elementary charge, then it has a net charge of:

q=5*\mathbf{e}=+5*1.60217662 \cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs

\boxed{q=+8.01\cdot 10^{-19}\ coulombs}
