How do the magnitudes of the inertial (the density times acceleration term), pressure, and viscous terms in the Navier-Stokes eq

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The general equation of movement in fluids is obtained from the application, at fluid volumes, of the principle of conservation of the amount of linear movement. This principle establishes that the variation over time of the amount of linear movement of a fluid volume is equal to that resulting from all forces (of volume and surface) acting on it. Expressed in This equation is called the Navier-Stokes equation.

The equation is shown in the attached file

Explanation:

The derivative of velocity with respect to time determines the change in the velocity of a particle of the fluid as it moves in space. It also includes convective acceleration, expressed by a nonlinear term that comes from convective inertia forces). With this equation, Stokes studied the motion of an infinite incompressible viscous fluid at rest at infinity, and in which a solid sphere of radius r makes a rectilinear and uniform translational motion of velocity v. It assumes that there are no external forces and that the movement of the fluid relative to a reference system on the sphere is stationary. Stokes' approach consists in neglecting the nonlinear term (associated with inertial forces due to convective acceleration).

Which statement about a pair of units is true? A yard is shorter than a meter. Amile is shorter than a kilometer. A foot is shor

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

A yard is shorter than a meter.

Explanation:

>>>1 yard is 0.914 m, so a yard is shorter than a meter.

>>>1 mile is 1.609 km, so a mile is longer than a kilometer

>>>1 foot is 30.48cm, so a foot longer than a centimeter

>>> 1 inch is 2.54cm, so an inch is longer than a centimeter

From the above relationships, only a yard is shorter than a meter is true. Others are wrong.

The orbital radius of the Earth (from Earth to Sun) is 1.496 x 10^11 m.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Explanation:

The orbital radius of the Earth is $r_1=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m$

The orbital radius of the Mercury is $r_2=5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m$

The orbital radius of the Pluto is $r_3=5.91 \times 10^{12}\ m$

We need to find the time required for light to travel from the Sun to each of the three planets.

(a) For Sun -Earth,

Kepler's third law :

$T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{GM}r_1^3$

M is mass of sun, $M=1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg$

So,

$T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 1.496\times 10^{11}\\\\T_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times1.496\times10^{11}}\\\\T_1=2\times 10^{-4}\ s$

(b) For Sun -Mercury,

$T_2^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m\\\\T_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}}\ m\\\\T_2=1.31\times 10^{-4}\ s$

$T_3^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}\\\\T_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}}\\\\T_3=1.32\times 10^{-3}\ s$
