Normally, the water pressure inside a pump is higher than the vapor pressure: in this case, at the interface between the liquid and the vapor, molecules from the liquid escapes into vapour form. Instead, when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure, molecules of vapour can go inside the water forming bubbles: this phenomenon is called
cavitation.
So, cavitation occurs when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure. In our problem, vapour pressure at
is 1.706 kPa. Therefore, the lowest pressure that can exist in the pump without cavitation, at this temperature, is exactly this value: 1.706 kPa.
Given that,
Mass of a tribble, m = 2.5 kg
Radius, r = 1.4 m
The force on the tribble from the bucket does not exceed 10 times its weight.
To find,
The maximum tangential speed.
Solution,
The force acting on the tribble is equal to the centripetal force.
F = 10mg
The formula for the centripetal force is given by :
v is maximum tangential speed
So, the maximum tangential speed is 11.7 m/s.
Answer:
2 seconds
Explanation:
The frequency of a wave is related to its wavelength and speed by the equation
where
f is the frequency
v is the speed of the wave
is the wavelength
For the wave in this problem,
v = 2 m/s
So the frequency is
The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency, so for this wave:
This means that the wave takes 4 seconds to complete one full cycle.
Therefore, the time taken for the wave to go from a point with displacement +A to a point with displacement -A is half the period, therefore for this wave:
Answer:
The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4°C to 0°C, and it becomes less dense. The density becomes less and less as it freezes because molecules of water normally form open crystal structures when in solid form.
