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

$f_p = 5000 N$

If the particle has mass m, how fast must it be moving away from the Sun's center of mass to escape the gravitational influence

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Explanation:

M = 1.989 x 10^30 kg

R = 6.96 x 10^8 m

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm²/kg²

Let the velocity is v.

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}{6.96\times 10^{8}}}$

v = 6.17 x 10^5 m/s

Neon signs require about 12,000 V for their operation. Consider a neon-sign transformer that operates off 120- V lines. How many

Ugo [173]

I can't give you the actual number of turns, because it's the RATIO
that counts.

However many turns the primary has, the secondary should have
about TEN TIMES that number. Then the transformer will multiply
the primary voltage by 10 ... 120 volts of AC at the primary will
become 1,200 volts of AC at the secondary.

Note that it HAS TO be AC. If the transformer is supplied with DC,
then 120 volts at the primary becomes zero volts at the secondary
and a big cloud of stinky smoke in the room.

A coil is wrapped with 300 turns of wire on the perimeter of a circular frame (radius = 8.0 cm). Each turn has the same area, eq

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Approximately 18 volts when the magnetic field strength increases from $\rm 20\; mT$ to $\rm 80\;mT$ at a constant rate.

Explanation:

By the Faraday's Law of Induction, the EMF $\epsilon$ that a changing magnetic flux induces in a coil is:

$\displaystyle \epsilon = N \cdot \frac{d\phi}{dt}$ ,

where

$N$ is the number of turns in the coil, and
$\displaystyle \frac{d\phi}{dt}$ is the rate of change in magnetic flux through this coil.

However, for a coil the magnetic flux $\phi$ is equal to

$\phi = B \cdot A\cdot \cos{\theta}$ ,

where

$B$ is the magnetic field strength at the coil, and
$A\cdot \cos{\theta}$ is the area of the coil perpendicular to the magnetic field.

For this coil, the magnetic field is perpendicular to coil, so $\theta = 0$ and $A\cdot \cos{\theta} = A$ . The area of this circular coil is equal to $\pi\cdot r^{2} = \pi\times 8.0\times 10^{-2}\approx \rm 0.0201062\; m^{2}$ .

$A\cdot \cos{\theta} = A$ doesn't change, so the rate of change in the magnetic flux $\phi$ through the coil depends only on the rate of change in the magnetic field strength $B$ . The size of the magnetic field at the instant that $B = \rm 50\; mT$ will not matter as long as the rate of change in $B$ is constant.

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{d\phi}{dt} &= \frac{\Delta B}{\Delta t}\times A \\&= \rm \frac{80\times 10^{-3}\; T- 20\times 10^{-3}\; T}{20\times 10^{-3}\; s}\times 0.0201062\;m^{2}\\&= \rm 0.0603186\; T\cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

As a result,

$\displaystyle \epsilon = N \cdot \frac{d\phi}{dt} = \rm 300 \times 0.0603186\; T\cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-1} \approx 18\; V$ .

On his way to deliver presents Santa has a minor accident. If the sleigh (1200 kg) was traveling at 322 m/s and the jet(4800 kg)

laiz [17]

Answer:

608.4m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of Sleigh,M=1200 kg

Speed of Sleigh,u=322 m/s

Speed of jet,u'=680 m/s

Mass of jet,m=4800 kg

Total mass=M+m=1200+4800=6000 kg

We have to find the final velocity of the two objects after the collision.

The collision is inelastic .

By using law of conservation of momentum

$Mu+mu'=(m+M)v$

Using the formula

$1200\times 322+4800\times 680=6000v$

$6000v=3650400$

$v=\frac{3650400}{6000}$

$v=608.4m/s$

Hence, the final velocity of two objects after the collision=608.4m/s
