Calculate the speed of a car that travels 250 miles in 4.0 hours. (remember your unit)

1 answer:

6 0

250/4= 62.5 mph

to find the mph of a car, you need to divide the number of miles traveled by the hours that it took to travel that many miles

A Venturi tube may be used as a fluid flowmeter. Suppose the device is used at a service station to measure the flow rate of gas

leonid [27]

Answer

given,

flow rate = p = 660 kg/m³

outer radius = 2.8 cm

P₁ - P₂ = 1.20 k Pa

inlet radius = 1.40 cm

using continuity equation

A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

π r₁² v₁ = π r₁² v₂

$v_1= \dfrac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} v_2$

$v_1= \dfrac{1.4^2}{2.8^2} v_2$

$v_1= 0.25 v_2$

Applying Bernoulli's equation

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)$

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-(0.25 v_2)^2)$

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 (1 - 0.0625)$

$v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\Delta P}{\rho(1 - 0.0625)}}$

$v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1200}{660 \times(1 - 0.0625)}}$

v₂ = 1.97 m/s

b) fluid flow rate

Q = A₂ V₂

Q = π (0.014)² x 1.97

Q = 1.21 x 10⁻³ m³/s

1. I drop a penny from the top of the tower at the front of Fort Collins High School and it takes 1.85 seconds to hit the ground

Svetradugi [14.3K]

You have three known variables:

Acceleration - $9.8m/s^2$
Time - $1.85s$
Initial Velocity - $0m/s$

For the first part of your question:

$v = u + at

v = (0)+(9.8)(1.1)

v = 10.78 m/s v=11 m/s (2 significant figures)$

For the second part of your question:

$v=u+at

v=(0)+(9.8)(1.85)
v=18.13 m/s

$

This still needs to be converted to m/h:

$18.13m/s = 18.13\times 3600 metres/h=65628 metres/hour

65628 metres/hour = 65628\div1600 mi/h = 40.7925 mi/h

= 41 mi/hr (2 significant figures)
$

The figure below shows a man in a boat on a lake. The man's mass is 74 kg, and the boat's is 135 kg. The man and boat are initia

vazorg [7]

The velocity of the boat after the package is thrown is 0.36 m/s.

<h3>Final velocity of the boat</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Pi = Pf

where;

Pi is initial momentum
Pf is final momentum

v(74 + 135) = 15 x 5

v(209) = 75

v = 75/209

v = 0.36 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown is 0.36 m/s.

At speeds over 30 mph, you should maintain a following distance of at least ________ behind the vehicle ahead of you.

ICE Princess25 [194]

At speeds over 30 mph, you should maintain a following distance of at least <u>three full seconds</u> behind the vehicle ahead of you.

As a general rule and common sense at a speed of 30 mph you can leave three full seconds so that you can achieve a prudent distance between the car you are driving and the car in front in order to be able to perform some kind of maneuver if an accident or unforeseen event occurs.

To count the full three seconds you can use the technique of counting the Mississippis as follows: Mississippi one, Mississippi two, Mississippi three.

<h3>What is an accident?</h3>

An accident is an unexpected event that generally causes damage, injury or negative consequences.
