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 hot-water bottle contains 787 g of water at 75∘C. If the liquid water cools to body temperature (37 ∘C), how many kilojoules o
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Q = 787 gr * 1 \frac{cal}{gr C} *(37-75)C = -29906 cal

So then the answer for this case would be 29906 cal but we need to convert this into KJ and we know that 1 cal = 4.184 J and if we convert we got:

29906 cal *\frac{4.184 J}{1 cal}* \frac{1KJ}{1000 J}= 125.127 KJ

Explanation:

For this case we know the mass of the water given :

m = 787 gr

And we know that the initial temperature for this water is T_i =75 C.

We want to cool this water to the human body temperature T_f = 37 C

Since the temperatures given are not near to 0C (fusion point) or 100C (the boling point) we don't need to use latent heat, then the only heat involved for this case is the sensible heat given by:

Q= m c_p \Delta T

Where c_p represent the specific heat for the water and this value from tables we know that c_p =1 \frac{cal}{gr C} for the water.

So then we have everything in order to replace into the formula of sensible heat and we got:

Q = 787 gr * 1 \frac{cal}{gr C} *(37-75)C = -29906 cal

So then the answer for this case would be 29906 cal but we need to convert this into KJ and we know that 1 cal = 4.184 J and if we convert we got:

29906 cal *\frac{4.184 J}{1 cal}* \frac{1KJ}{1000 J}= 125.127 KJ

If you increase the force on an item without changing the mass you increase acceleration? true or false?
rusak2 [61]
(F)(M)=A
Force times Mass equals Acceleration.
The answer is TRUE. 
If the mass increases the number on the left side of the equation increases, thus increasing the right side as well.

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the
GaryK [48]

We will determine the wavelength through the relationship given by the distance between slits, this relationship is given under the function

y = \frac{m\lambda}{d}

Here,

m = Number of order bright fringe

\lambda = Wavelength

d = Distance between slits

Both distance are the same, then

y_1 = y_2

\frac{m_1\lambda_1 r}{d} = \frac{m_2\lambda_2 r}{d}

\frac{m_1\lambda_1}{m_2\lambda_2} =1

 Rearranging to find the second wavelength

m_1 \lambda_1 = m_2 \lambda _2

\lambda_2 = \frac{m_1\lambda_1}{m_2}

\lambda_2 = \frac{7(629)}{8}

\lambda_2 = 550.3nm

Therefore the wavelength of the light coming from the second monochromatic light source is 550.3nm
