An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problems is the Froude number defined as V/√g.l where V is a
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.24611

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 10 ft/s

L = Length = 2 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

Froude number is given by

Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{32.2\times 2}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611

Converting to SI units

10\ ft/s=10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

32.2\ ft/s^2=32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

2\ ft=2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}{\sqrt{32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}\times 2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611

The Froude number is 1.24611

The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.

Karen claps her hand and hears the echo from
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

89 m

Explanation:

Applying

v = 2d/t................... Equation 1

Where v = velocity of sound in air, d = distance of the wall from Karen, t = time taken to hear the echo.

make d the subject of equation 1

d = vt/2..................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: v = 343 m/s, t = 0.519 s

Substitute these values into equation 2

d = (343×0.519)/2

d = 89.01 m.

d ≈ 89 m

Particle A of charge 2.70 10-4 C is at the origin, particle B of charge -6.36 10-4 C is at (4.00 m, 0), and particle C of charge
Serhud [2]

Answer:

FC vector representation

F_{C} =(19.03i+13.78j)N

Magnitude of FC

F_{C}=23.495N

Vector direction FC

\beta=35.91 degrees: angle that forms FC with the horizontal

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Because the particle C is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

The directions of the individual forces exerted by qA and qB on qC are shown in the attached figure; The force (FAC) of qA over qC is repulsive because they have equal signs and the force (FBC) of qB over qC is attractive because they have opposite signs.

The FAC force is up in the positive direction and the FBC force forms an α angle with respect to the x axis.

\alpha = tan^{-1}(\frac{3}{4}) = 36.86 degrees

To calculate the magnitudes of the forces we apply Coulomb's law:

F_{AC} = \frac{k*q_{A}*q_{C}}{r_{AC}^2} Equation (1): Magnitude of the electric force of the charge qA over the charge qC

F_{BC} = \frac{k*q_{B}*q_{C}}{r_{BC}^2} Equation (2) : Magnitude of the electric force of the charge qB over the charge qC

Known data

k=8.99*10^9 \frac{N*m^2}{C^2}

q_{A}=2.70*10^{-4} C

q_{B}=-6.36*10^{-4} C

q_{C}=1.04*10^{-4} C

r_{AC} =3

r_{BC}=\sqrt{4^2+3^2} = 5

Problem development

In the equations (1) and (2) to calculate FAC Y FBC:

F_{AC} =8.99*10^9*(2.70*10^{-4}* 1.04*10^{-4})/(3)^2=28.05N

F_{BC} =8.99*10^9*(6.36*10^{-4}* 1.04*10^{-4})/(5)^2=23.785N

Components of the FBC force at x and y:

F_{BCx}=23.785 *Cos(36.86)=19.03N

F_{BCy}=23.785 *Sin(36.86)=14.27N

Components of the resulting force acting on qC:

F_{Cx} = F_{ACx}+ F_{BCx}=0+19.03=19.03N

F_{Cy} = F_{ACy}+ F_{BCy}=28.05-14.27=13.78N

FC vector representation

F_{C} =(19.03i+13.78j)N

Magnitude of FC

F_{C}= \sqrt{19.03^2+13.78^2} =23.495N

Vector direction FC

\beta = tan^{-1} (\frac{13.78}{19.03})=35.91 degrees: angle that forms FC with the horizontal

the mass of a large car is 1000 kg. how much force would be required to accelerate the car at a rate of 3 m/sec²​
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

3000  N

Explanation:

<em>Newton's second law of motion</em> describes the relationship between an object's mass and the amount of force needed to accelerate it.  

This law can be expresses as F=ma,

where  

  • F -  force acting on an object
  • m-  the mass of an object  
  • a -  its acceleration

The more mass an object has, the more force you need to accelerate it. And the greater the force, the greater the object's acceleration.

<em>F = ma</em>

<em>F = 1000×3 </em>

<em>   = 3000  N</em>
