Why are water storage tanks usually built on towers or hilltops??

1 answer:

8 0

Because when you open the faucet, you want the water to
rush out with pressure, not just dribble or ooze out. The
water has to be supplied to the user with pressure. Either
you supply it from a height, or else you'll need to use pumps
to make the pressure.

A certain electromagnetic wave traveling in seawater was observed to have an amplitude of 98.02 (V/m) at a depth of 10 m, and an

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The value is $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first amplitude of the wave is $E_{max}1 = 98.02 \ V/m$

The first depth is $D_1 = 10 \ m$

The second amplitude is $E_{max}2 = 81.87 \ (V/m)$

The second depth is $D_2 = 100 \ m$

Generally from the spatial wave equation we have

$v(x) = Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)$

=> $\frac{v(x)}{v(x)} =\frac{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}$

So considering the ratio of the equation for the two depth

$\frac{A}{A_S} = \frac{e^{-D_1 \alpha }}{e^{-D_2 \alpha }}$

=> $\frac{98.02}{81.87} = \frac{e^{-10 \alpha }}{e^{-100 \alpha }}$

=> $\alpha = \frac{0.18}{90}$

=> $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$

2. A truck speeds up from a velocity of 6 m/s to 14 m/s in 4 seconds. What is the trucks acceleration? SHOW YOUR WORK

zavuch27 [327]

As it is given here

initial speed is

$v_i = 6 m/s$

After 4 seconds the final speed is

$v_f = 14 m/s$

so here we can use the formula of acceleration using kinematics

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{14 - 6}{4}$

$a = 2 m/s^2$

so here it will accelerate at 2 m/s^2 rate.

As it is given here

initial it starts from rest

$v_i = 0 m/s$

After 2.5 seconds the final speed is

$v_f = 15 m/s$

so here we can use the formula of acceleration using kinematics

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{15 - 0}{2.5}$

$a = 6 m/s^2$

so here it will accelerate at 6 m/s^2 rate.

i think question is not correct as in first line it is saying about a bag of trash and then in next line it is asking for the position of Jumper and bridge.

A meter stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Find the speed of the other end when it

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.4 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Here we have to use conservation of energy. Initially when the stick is held vertical, its center of mass is at some height above the ground, hence the stick has some gravitational potential energy. As the stick is allowed to fall, its rotates about one. gravitational potential energy of the stick gets converted into rotational kinetic energy.

$L$ = length of the meter stick = 1 m

$m$ = mass of the meter stick

$w$ = angular speed of the meter stick as it hits the floor

$v$ = speed of the other end of the stick

we know that, linear speed and angular speed are related as

$v = r w\\w = \frac{v}{r}$

$h$ = height of center of mass of meter stick above the floor = $\frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 m$

$I$ = Moment of inertia of the stick about one end

For a stick, momentof inertia about one end has the formula as

$I = \frac{mL^{2} }{3}$

Using conservation of energy

Rotational kinetic energy of the stick = gravitational potential energy

$(0.5) I w^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{mL^{2} }{3}) (\frac{v}{L} )^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = gh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = (9.8)(0.5)\\v = 5.4 ms^{-1}$
