Answer:

The distance covered is 40 m and the displacement is 31,6m.

Explanation:

The distance covered is the sum of the two distances (10+30). The displacement is equal to the distance of the hipotenusa of the triangle that the two distances (10 m to north and 30m to east) create. Using the Pythagoras theorem the displacent is equal to the Square root of (30^2 +10^2) .

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 4 m/s to 13 m/s in a period of 3 s. What is your acceleration?

The acceleration formula goes like this: a= (vf-vi)/t so it would be (13-4)/3 Thus the answer is 3m/s^2

What is the gauge pressure of the water right at the point p, where the needle meets the wider chamber of the syringe? neglect t

Helen [10]

Missing details: figure of the problem is attached.

We can solve the exercise by using Poiseuille's law. It says that, for a fluid in laminar flow inside a closed pipe,

$\Delta P = \frac{8 \mu L Q}{\pi r^4}$

where:

$\Delta P$ is the pressure difference between the two ends

$\mu$ is viscosity of the fluid

L is the length of the pipe

$Q=Av$ is the volumetric flow rate, with $A=\pi r^2$ being the section of the tube and $v$ the velocity of the fluid

r is the radius of the pipe.

We can apply this law to the needle, and then calculating the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. For our problem, we have:

$\mu=0.001 Pa/s$ is the dynamic water viscosity at $20^{\circ}$

L=4.0 cm=0.04 m

$Q=Av=\pi r^2 v= \pi (1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 \cdot 10 m/s =3.14 \cdot 10^{-5} m^3/s$

and r=1 mm=0.001 m

Using these data in the formula, we get:

$\Delta P = 3200 Pa$

However, this is the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. But the end of the needle is at atmosphere pressure, and therefore the gauge pressure (which has zero-reference against atmosphere pressure) at point P is exactly 3200 Pa.
