Answer:

26.9 Pa

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the continuity equation, which states that the volume flow rate of a fluid in a pipe must be constant; mathematically:

A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2 (1)

where

A_1 is the cross-sectional area of the 1st section of the pipe

A_2 is the cross-sectional area of the 2nd section of the pipe

v_1 is the velocity of the 1st section of the pipe

v_2 is the velocity of the 2nd section of the pipe

In this problem we have:

v_1=0.15 m/s is the velocity of blood in the 1st section

The diameter of the 2nd section is 74% of that of the 1st section, so

d_2=0.74d_1

The cross-sectional area is proportional to the square of the diameter, so:

A_2=(0.74)^2 A_1=0.548 A_1

And solving eq.(1) for v2, we find the final velocity:

v_2=\frac{A_1 v_1}{A_2}=\frac{A_1 (0.15)}{0.548 A_1}=0.274 m/s

Now we can use Bernoulli's equation to find the pressure drop:

p_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2

where

\rho=1025 kg/m^3 is the blood density

p_1,p_2 are the initial and final pressure

So the pressure drop is:

p_1 - p_2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)=\frac{1}{2}(1025)(0.274^2-0.15^2)=26.9 Pa

Under the influence of its drive force, a snowmobile is moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal patch of snow. When the
balandron [24]

Answer:

a) Δx = 11.6 m

b) t = 3.9 s

Explanation:

a)

  • Since the snowmobile is moving at constant speed, and the drive force is 195 N, this means that thereis another force equal and opposite acting on it, according to Newton's 2nd Law, due to there is no acceleration present in the horizontal direction .
  • This force is just the force of kinetic friction, and is equal to -195 N (assuming the positive direction as the direction of the movement).
  • Once the drive force is shut off, the only force acting on the snowmobile remains the friction force.
  • According Newton's 2nd Law, this force is causing a negative acceleration (actually slowing down the snowmobile) that can be found as follows:

       a = \frac{F_{fr} }{m} = \frac{-195N}{128kg} = -1.5 m/s2 (1)

  • Assuming the friction force keeps constant, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the distance traveled under this acceleration before coming to an stop, as follows:

       v_{f} ^{2}  -v_{o} ^{2} = 2* a* \Delta x (2)

  • Taking into account that vf=0, replacing by the given (v₀) and a from (1), we can solve for Δx, as follows:

       \Delta x =- \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2*a} =- \frac{(5.90m/s)^{2}}{2*(-1.5m/s2)} = 11.6 m (3)

b)

  • We can find the time needed to come to an stop, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

       v_{f} = v_{o} + a*\Delta t (4)

  • Since we have already said that the snowmobile comes to an stop, this means that vf = 0.
  • Replacing a and v₀ as we did in (3), we can solve for Δt as follows:

       \Delta t = \frac{-v_{o} }{a} = \frac{-5.9m/s}{-1.5m/s2} = 3.9 s   (5)

A rectangular tank is filled to a depth of 10m with freshwater and open to air at atmospheric pressure.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<em>1.</em> <em>39068.07 N</em>

<em>2. 19534.036 N</em>

Explanation:

depth of water h = 10 m

atmospheric pressure Patm = 101325 Pa

density of water p = 1000 kg/m^3

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s^2

pressure due to depth of water = pgh

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 10 = 98100 Pa

total pressure on the bottom of the tank is Patm + p = 101325 + 98100 = 199425 Pa

Left plug has diameter = 50 cm = 0.5 m

radius = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

height = 1 cm = 0.01 m

<em>height below tank surface = 10 - 0.01 = 9.99</em>

pressure at this depth =  1000 x 9.81 x 9.99 = 98001.9 Pa

<em>total pressure = Patm + P = 101325 + 98001.9 = 199326.9 Pa</em>

surface area of plug = πr^{2} = 3.142 x 0.25^{2} = 0.196 m^{2}

<em>force required to lift left plug = pressure x area</em>

F =  199326.9 x 0.196 = <em>39068.07 N</em>

<em>The right side is a hemisphere with the same diameter, therefore surface area is half of the left plug</em>

A = 0.196/2 = 0.098 m^{2}

force F required to lift right plug =  199326.9  x 0.098 =<em> 19534.036 N</em>

A 23 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 130 m/s when, due to an internal exp
babymother [125]

Answer:

a) Vx = 1088m/s

b) Vy = -162.93m/s

c) 5246745J

Explanation:

Mass of unbroken body = 23kg

Its velocity along +ve X-axis = 130m/s

Mass of first broken body, m1= 9.4kg

Its velocity along +ve X-axis = 130m/s

Nass of 2nd broken body, m2 = 6.1kg

Its velocity long-lived X - axis = -550m/s

Mass of 3rd broken body = ?

m3 = (23 - 9.4 - 6.1)kg

m3 = 7.5kg

Let velocity along the x-axis = Vx

Let the velocity along the x-axis = Vy

Applying law of conservation of momentum along x-axis

a) m1×0 + m2×(-550) + m3×(Vx) =M × 130

9.4 × 0 + 6.1× (-550) + 7.5(Vx) = 23 ×130

0 + (-5170) + 7.5Vx = 2990

2990 + 5170 = 7.5Vx

8160 = 7.5Vx

Vx = 8160/7.5

Vx = 1088m/s

b) Aplying conservation of momentum along the x-axis

(m1×130) + (m2 × 0) + (m3× Vy) = 0

(9.4 × 130) + (6.1 ×550) + 7.5Vy = 0

1222 + 0 + 7.5Vy = 0

1222 = -7.5Vy

Vy = 1222/(-7.5)

Vy = -262.93m/s

c) The energy released or change in KE is given by:

1/2[(m1v1^2) + (m2v2^2) +(m3Vx^2) ]= MV^2

Change in KE = 1/2[ 9.4× 130^2 + 6.1 × 550^2 + 7.5 × 1088^2 ] - 1/2(23 × 130^2)

Change in KE = 1/2[158860 + 1845250 + 8878080] - 1/2[388700]

Change in KE = 5441095 - 194350

Change in KE = 5246745J

A 5.00-A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5 * 1028 free ele
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a)n= 3.125 x 10^{19 electrons.

b)J= 1.515 x 10^{6 A/m²

c)V_{d =1.114 x 10^{4m/s

d) see explanation

Explanation:

Current 'I' = 5A =>5C/s

diameter 'd'= 2.05 x 10^{-3 m

radius 'r' = d/2 => 1.025 x 10^{-3 m

no. of electrons 'n'= 8.5 x 10^{28}

a) the amount of electrons pass through the light bulb each second can be determined by:

I= Q/t

Q= I x t => 5 x 1

Q= 5C

As we know that: Q= ne

where e is the charge of electron i.e 1.6 x 10^{-19C

n= Q/e => 5/ 1.6 x 10^{-19

n= 3.125 x 10^{19 electrons.

b)  the current density 'J' in the wire is given by

J= I/A => I/πr²

J= 5 / (3.14 x (1.025x 10^{-3)²)

J= 1.515 x 10^{6 A/m²

c) The typical speed'V_{d' of an electron is given by:

V_{d = \frac{J}{n|q|}

    =1.515 x 10^{6 / 8.5 x 10^{28} x |-1.6 x 10^{-19|

V_{d =1.114 x 10^{4m/s

d) According to these equations,

J= I/A

V_{d = \frac{J}{n|q|} =\frac{I}{nA|q|}

If you were to use wire of twice the diameter, the current density and drift speed will change

Increase in the diameter increase the cross sectional area and decreases the current density as it has inverse relation.

Also drift velocity will decrease as it is inversely proportional to the area
