Answer:

1.114 kg/m³

Explanation:

The total mass of the air in the balloon and the balloon + cargo will be the mass of the displaced air. If d is the density of the air in the balloon, then we have ...

2910d +308 = 2910×1.22

Solving for d, we find ...

2910d = 2919(1.22) -308

d = 1.22 -308/2910

d ≈ 1.114 . . . kg/m³

The density of the hot air is about 1.114 kg/m³.

Water flows into a horizontal, cylindrical pipe at 1.4 m/s. the pipe then narrows until its diameter is halved. what is the pres

inna [77]

According to the Bernoulli's equation,the pressure difference between the wide and narrow ends of the pipe is given by

$\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )$

Here, $v_{1}$ is the velocity of water through wide ends of cylindrical pipe and $v_{2}$ is the velocity of water through narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

Given, $v_{1} =1.4 m/s$

Now from equation continuity,

$v_{1} A_{1} = v_{2} A_{2}$ .

Here, $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ are cross- sectional areas of wide and narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

As pipe is circular, so

$v_{1} \pi r^2_{1} = v_{2} \pi r^2_{2}$ .

At the second point, the diameter is halved, which means the radius is also halved. Therefore,

$v_{1} r^2_{1} = v_{2}(\frac{1}{2} r_{1})^2 \\\\ v_{2} = 4 v_{1}$

$v_{2} = 4 \times 1.4 = 5.6 m/s$

Substituting these values with the density of water is $1000 \ kg/m^3$ in pressure difference formula we get.

$\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 kg/m^3(5.6^2-1.4^2)\\\\ \Delta P = 14700\ Pa$

A package of mass m is released from rest at a warehouse loading dock and slides down a 3.0-m-high frictionless chute to a waiti

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The speed of the package of mass m right before the collision $= 7.668\ ms^-1$

Their common speed after the collision $= 2.56\ ms^-1$

Height achieved by the package of mass m when it rebounds $= 0.33\ m$

Explanation:

Have a look to the diagrams attached below.

a.To find the speed of the package of mass m right before collision we have to use law of conservation of energy.

$K_{initial} + U_{initial} = K_{final}+U_{final}$

where $K$ is Kinetic energy and $U$ is Potential energy.

$K= \frac{mv^2}{2}$ and $U= mgh$

Considering the fact $K_{initial} = 0\ and U_{final} =0$ we will plug out he values of the given terms.

So $V_{1}{(initial)} =\sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2\times9.8\times3} = 7.668\ ms^-1$

Keypoints:

Sum of energies and momentum are conserved in all collisions.
Sum of KE and PE is also known as Mechanical energy.
Only KE is conserved for elastic collision.
for elastic collison we have $e=1$ that is co-efficient of restitution.

<u>KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy</u>

b.Now when the package stick together there momentum is conserved.

Using law of conservation of momentum.

$m_1V_1(i) = (m_1+m_2)V_f$ where $V_1{i} =7.668\ ms^-1$ .

Plugging the values we have

$m\times 7.668 = (3m)\times V_{f}$

Cancelling m from both sides and dividing 3 on both sides.

$V_f = 2.56\ ms^-1$

Law of conservation of energy will be followed over here.

c.Now the collision is perfectly elastic $e=1$

We have to find the value of $V_{f}$ for m mass.

As here $V_{f}=-2.56\ ms^-1$ we can use that if both are moving in right ward with $2.56$ then there is a $-2.56$ velocity when they have to move leftward.

The best option is to use the formulas given in third slide to calculate final velocity of object $1$ .

So

$V_{1f} = \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} \times V_{1i}= \frac{m-2m}{3m} \times7.668=\frac{-7.668}{3} = -2.56\ ms^-1$

Now using law of conservation of energy.

$K_{initial} + U_{initial} = K_{final}+U_{final}$

$\frac{m\times V(f1)^2}{2} + 0 = 0 +mgh$

$\frac{v(f1)^2}{2g} = h$

$h= \frac{(-2.56)^2}{9.8\times 3} =0.33\ m$

The linear momentum is conserved before and after this perfectly elastic collision.

So for part a we have the speed $=7.668\ ms^-1$ for part b we have their common speed $=2.56\ ms^-1$ and for part c we have the rebound height $=0.33\ m$ .

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field given by E =-2.30 x 10-10 N/Cj. After the electron has traveled a ver

Goshia [24]

Explanation:

It is given that,

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field of, $E=2.3\times 10^{-10}\ N/C$

Vertical distance covered, $s=1\ \mu m=10^{-6}\ m$

We need to find the speed of the electron. Let its speed is v. Using third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$v^2=2as$ .............(1)

Electric force is $F_e$ and force of gravity is $F_g$ . As both forces are acting in downward direction. So, total force is:

$F=mg+qE$

$F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8+1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2.3\times 10^{-10}$

$F=4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N$

Acceleration of the electron, $a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}$

$a=50.21\ m/s^2$

Put the value of a in equation (1) as :

$v=\sqrt{2as}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 50.21\times 10^{-6}}$

v = 0.010 m/s

So, the speed of the electron is 0.010 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
