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

The energy required to dislodge electrons from cesium metal via the photoelectric effect is 207 kJ/mol . What wavelength (in nm)
ki77a [65]

Answer:

So wavelength in nm will be \lambda =0.956\times 10^{-19}nm    

Explanation:

We have given that the energy = 207 KJ/mol =207\times 10^3j/mol

Speed of light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

Plank's constant h=6.6\times 10^{-34}J-s

According to plank's rule energy of the photon is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

207\times 10^3=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda }

\lambda =0.956\times 10^{-28}m

So wavelength in nm will be \lambda =0.956\times 10^{-19}nm

10. A tennis ball rolled off the edge of a table that has a height of 1,00 m.
Maslowich

Answer:

The answer is "1.6\  \frac{m}{s}"

Explanation:

Distance= 0.72 meter

time= 0.45 second

The formula for horizontal velocity:

horizontal \ velocity = \frac{distance}{time}\\\\

                               =\frac{0.72}{ 0.45}\\\\= 1.6 \ \frac{m}{s}\\\\
