Answer:

630.93 kN of force.

Explanation:

Pressure inside the tank is 150 kPa

The acceleration due to gravity on Mars g is 3.71 m/s^2.

The depth of water h is 13.6 m.

Pressure due to air outside tank is 93 kPa

The density of water p is 1000 kg/m^3

Pressure of the water on the tank bottom will be equal to pgh

Pressure of water = pgh

= 1000 x 3.71 x 13.6 = 50456 Pa

= 50.456 kPa.

Total pressure at the bottom of the tank will be pressure within tank and pressure due to water and pressure outside tank.

Pt = (150 + 50.456 + 93) = 293.456 kPa

Force at the bottom of the tank will be pressure times area of tank bottom.

F = Pt x A

F = 293.456 x 2.15 m^2 = 630.93 kN

A Venturi tube may be used as a fluid flowmeter. Suppose the device is used at a service station to measure the flow rate of gas
leonid [27]

Answer

given,

flow rate = p = 660 kg/m³

outer radius = 2.8 cm

P₁ - P₂ = 1.20 k Pa

inlet radius = 1.40 cm

using continuity equation

 A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

 π r₁² v₁ = π r₁² v₂

 v_1= \dfrac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} v_2

 v_1= \dfrac{1.4^2}{2.8^2} v_2

 v_1= 0.25 v_2

Applying Bernoulli's equation

 \Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)

 \Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-(0.25 v_2)^2)

 \Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 (1 - 0.0625)

 v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\Delta P}{\rho(1 - 0.0625)}}

 v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1200}{660 \times(1 - 0.0625)}}

       v₂ = 1.97 m/s

b) fluid flow rate

Q = A₂ V₂

Q = π (0.014)²  x 1.97

Q = 1.21 x 10⁻³ m³/s

A parallel circuit has three branches. Each branch has a resistance of 37.5 ohms. The total current is 7.5 amps. What is the cur
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Current in each branch will be 2.5 A

Explanation:

We have given that a circuit has three branch each has a resistance of 37.5 ohm

We have also given that a total current of 7.5 A is flows through the circuit

As we know that in parallel circuit total current is the sum of current flowing through each branch

As the resistances of each branch is same so current will also be same

As there is 3 branches in circuit so current in each branch will be \frac{7.5}{3}=2.5A

Student measures the weight of a bag of bananas with a spring balance.
sergiy2304 [10]

A spring balance measures the weight of an object by opposing the force of gravity acting with force of an extending spring. May be used to determine mass as well as weight by recalibrating the scale. Some spring balances are available in gram or kilogram markings and are used to measure the mass of an object. Spring balances consist of a cylindrical tube with a spring inside. One end (at the top) is fixed to an adjuster which can be used to calibrate the device. The other end is attached to a hook on which you can hang masses etc.

A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 37.6 m/s at an angle of 43.6° above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. P
Olenka [21]

Answer:

A) The maximum height reached by the projectile is 34.3 m.

B) The total time in the air is 5.29 s.

C) The range of the projectile is 144 m.

D) The speed of the projectile 1.80 s after firing is 28.4 m/s.

Explanation:

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

The position and velocity vectors of the projectile at time "t" are as follows:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0 · cos α, v0 · sin α + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector at time "t"

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

α = launching angle.

y0 = initial vertical position.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = vector position at time t

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the launching point so that x0 and y0 = 0.

A) At the maximum height, the vertical component of the velocity is 0 (see figure). Then, using the equation for the y-component of the velocity vector, we can obtain the time at which the projectile is at its maximum height:

vy = v0 · sin α + g · t

0 = 37.6 m/s · sin 43.6° - 9.8 m/s² · t

- 37.6 m/s · sin 43.6° / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 2.65 s

The height of the projectile at this time will be the maximum height. Then, using the equation of the y-component of the vector position:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²               (y0 = 0)

y = 37.6 m/s · 2.65 s · sin 43.6° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.65)²

y = 34.3 m

The maximum height reached by the projectile is 34.3 m.

B) When the projectile reaches the ground, the y-component of the position vector is 0 (see vector "r final" in the figure). Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = 37.6 m/s · t · sin 43.6° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = t · (37.6 m/s · sin 43.6° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t)          (t = 0, the initial point)

0 = 37.6 m/s · sin 43.6° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t

- 37.6 m/s · sin 43.6° /- 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² = t

t = 5.29 s

The total time in the air is 5.29 s.

C) Having the total time in the air, we can calculate the x-component of the vector "r final" (see figure) to obtain the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 37.6 m/s · 5.29 s · cos 43.6°

x = 144 m

The range of the projectile is 144 m.

D) Let´s find the velocity vector at that time:

v = (v0 · cos α, v0 · sin α + g · t)

vx = v0 · cos α

vx = 37.6 m/s · cos 43.6°

vx = 27.2 m/s

vy = v0 · sin α + g · t

vy = 37.6 m/s · sin 43.6° - 9.8 m/s² · 1.80 s

vy = 8.29 m/s

Then, the vector velocity at  t =  1.80 s will be:

v = (27.2 m/s, 8.29 m/s)

The speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector:

|v| =\sqrt{(27.2 m/s)^{2} +(8.29 m/s)^{2}} = 28.4 m/s

The speed of the projectile 1.80 s after firing is 28.4 m/s.
