A water pipe having a 4.00 cm inside diameter carries water into the basement of a house at a speed of 1.00 m/s and a pressure o

f 167 kPa. The pipe tapers to 1.4 cm and rises to the second floor 7.8 m above the input point. What is the speed at the second floor

Answer:

$8.16\ \text{m/s}$

Explanation:

$d_1$ = Initial diameter = 4 cm

$v_1$ = Initial velocity = 1 m/s

$d_2$ = Final diameter = 7.8 m

$v_2$ = Final velocity

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

From the continuity equation we get

$A_1v_1=A_2v_2\\\Rightarrow \pi\dfrac{d_1^2}{4}v_1=\pi\dfrac{d_2^2}{4}v_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\dfrac{d_1^2}{d_2^2}v_1\\\Rightarrow v_2=\dfrac{4^2}{1.4^2}\times 1\\\Rightarrow v_2=8.16\ \text{m/s}$

The speed of water at the second floor is $8.16\ \text{m/s}$ .

The coefficients of static and kinetic frictions for plastic on wood are 0.50 and 0.40,respectively. How much horizontal force w

IrinaK [193]

The horizontal force needed to start the calculator moving from rest is 1.5 N

What is Kinetic friction?

It is defined as a force that acts between moving surfaces.

The magnitude of the force will depend on the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two materials.

Here,

weight of calculator, N = 3 N

The coefficients of static frictions, µ (static) = 0.50

The coefficients of kinetic frictions, µ (kinetic) = 0.40

Now,

The horizontal force required = The static friction force

F = µ (static) * weight of calculator

F = 0.50 * 3.0

F = 1.5 N

Hence,

The horizontal force needed to start the calculator moving from rest is 1.5 N

The half-life of Iodine-131 is 8.0252 days. If 14.2 grams of I-131 is released in Japan and takes 31.8 days to travel across the

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Half-life problems are modeled as exponential equations. The half-life formula is $P=P_o\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{k}}$ where $P_o$ is the initial amount, $k$ is the length of the half-life, $t$ is the amount of time that has elapsed since the initial measurement was taken, and $P$ is the amount that remains at time $t$ .

$P=14.2\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{8.0252}}$

<u>Deriving the half-life formula</u>

If one forgets the half-life formula, one can derive an equivalent equation by recalling the basic an exponential equation, $y=a b^{t}$ , where $t$ is still the amount of time, and $y$ is the amount remaining at time $t$ . The constants a and b can be solved for as follows:

Knowing that amount initially is 14.2g, we let this be time zero:

$y=a b^{t}$

$(14.2)=ab^{(0)}$

$14.2=a *1$

$14.2=a$

So, $a=14.2$ , which represents out initial amount of the substance, and our equation becomes: $y=14.2 b^{t}$

Knowing that the "half-life" is 8.0252 days (note that the unit here is "days", so times for all future uses of this equation must be in "days"), we know that the amount remaining after that time will be one-half of what we started with:

$\left(\frac{1}{2} *14.2 \right)=14.2 b^{(8.0252)}$

$\dfrac{7.1}{14.2}=\dfrac{14.2 b^{8.0252}}{14.2}$

$0.5=b^{8.0252}$

$\sqrt[8.0252]{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt[8.0252]{b^{8.0252}}$

$\sqrt[8.0252]{\frac{1}{2}}=b$

Recalling exponent properties, one could find that $\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{\frac{1}{8.0252}}=b$ , which will give the equation identical to the half-life formula. However, recalling this trivia about exponent properties is not necessary to solve this problem. One can just evaluate the radical in a calculator:

$b=0.9172535661...$

Using this decimal approximation has advantages (don't have to remember the half-life formula & don't have to remember as many exponent properties), but one minor disadvantage (need to keep more decimal places to reduce rounding error).

So, our general equation derived from the basic exponential function is:

$y=14.2* (0.9172535661)^t$ or $y=14.2*(0.5)^{\frac{t}{8.0252}}$ where y represents the amount remaining at time t.

<u>Solving for the amount remaining</u>

With the equation set up, substitute the amount of time it takes to cross the Pacific to solve for the amount remaining:

$y=14.2* (0.9172535661)^{(31.8)}$ $y=14.2*(0.5)^{\frac{(31.8)}{8.0252}}$

$y=14.2* 0.0641450581$ $y=14.2*(0.5)^{3.962518068}$

$y=0.9108598257$ $y=14.2* 0.0641450581$

$y=0.9108598257$

Since both the initial amount of Iodine, and the amount of time were given to 3 significant figures, the amount remaining after 31.8days is 0.911g.
