What allows a pump to raise fluids in pipes

Physics

1 answer:

erastova [34]3 years ago

Answer: The energy to move the fluid is provided by the pressure on the fluid surface.

Explanation: The frictional losses in the suction pipework and rises in the suction pipework system will reduce the fluid pressure at the pump inlet. If the pump inlet connection is removed the fluid will not flow out of the suction pipework. Hope this helps! :)

(a) What is the fluid speed in a fire hose with a 9.00-cm diameter carrying 80.0 L of water per second? (b) What is the flow rat

son4ous [18]

Answer:

12.5752053801 m/s

$80\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s$

No.

Explanation:

Q = Volume flow rate = $80\ L/s=80\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s$

d = Diameter of pipe = 9 cm

A = Area = $\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

Volume flow rate is given by

$Q=Av\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{Q}{A}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{80\times 10^{-3}}{\dfrac{\pi}{4} (9\times 10^{-2})^2}\\\Rightarrow v=12.5752053801\ m/s$

Velocity of fluid is 12.5752053801 m/s

The volume flow rate in m³/s is $80\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s$

The flow of fluid does not depend on the type of water used. Hence the answers would be same. If Q is constant v will be the same irrespective of the type of water used.

Two identical resistors are connected in parallel across a 26-V battery, which supplies them with a total power of 7.1 W. While

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A) R = 190.42 Ω

B) P = 5.325 W

Explanation:

We are given;

Total power;P_tot = 7.1 W

Voltage;V = 26 V

A)We are told that while the battery is still connected, one of the resistors is heated, so that its resistance doubles.

Thus, the power is doubled.

Now, formula for power is;

P = IV

Thus, since power is doubled, we have;

P = 2(IV)

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

So, P = 2V²/R

Making R the subject, we have;

R = 2V²/P

In this question, P is p_total = 7.1 W

Thus;

R = (2 × 26²)/7.1

R = 190.42 Ω

B) Now, the resistance of the resistors are R and 2R.

Formula for power in this context is;

P = V²/R

Thus,

Total power delivered to the resistors is;

P = V²/R + V²/2R

P = 3V²/2R

P = (3 × 26²)/(2 × 190.42)

P = 5.325 W

Explain why the shortening velocity became slower as the load became heavier in this experiment. how well did the results compar

valkas [14]

<span>The shortening velocity refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. Maximal shortening velocity is only attained with a minimal load. With a light load, the shortening velocity is at its Maximal shortening velocity. When the weight is heavy, the speed in which the muscle lifts the weight decreases in speed at a slower velocity.</span>

One of the most efficient engines built so far has the following characteristics: combustion chamber temperature = 1900°C, exhau

suter [353]

Answer:

actual efficiency is 47.78 %

Carnot efficiency is 67.65 %

power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 1900°C = 1900+ 273 K = 2173 K

exhaust temperature = 430°C = 430 + 273 K = 703 K

fuel = 7.0 × 10^9 cal

work = 1.4 × 10^10 J

to find out

actual efficiency and Carnot efficiency and power output of engine

solution

first we find actual efficiency that is = work / heat input

put the value and

input energy = 7.0 × 10^9 cal (4.184 J/1 cal) = 29.29 × 10^9 J

actual efficiency = 1.4 × 10^10 / ( 29.29 × 10^9 )

actual efficiency = 0.4778

actual efficiency is 47.78 %

and

Carnot efficiency is = 1 - ( 703 / 2173 )

so Carnot efficiency is = 0.67648

Carnot efficiency is 67.65 %

and

power output = work / time

power output = 1.4 × 10^10 / 3600 sec

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W / 746 hp

so power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp
