A large storage tank, open to the atmosphere at the top and filled with water, develops a small hole in its side at a point 15.6

VladimirAG [237]

To solve this problem it is necessary to take into account the kinematic equations of motion and the change that exists in the volume flow.

By definition the change in speed is given by

$v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax$

Where,

x= distance

$v_f =$ final velocity

$v_i =$ initial velocity

a = acceleration

On the other hand we know that the flow of a fluid is given by

$\dot{V} = Av$

Where,

A = Area

v = Velocity

PART A )

Applying this equation to the previously given values we have to

$v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax$

$v_f^2-0 = 2*(9.8)(15.6)$

$v_f^2=305.76$

$v_f = 17.48$

Therefore the velocity of the water leaving the hole is 17.48m/s

PART B )

In the case of the hole we take the area of a circle, therefore replacing in the flow equation we have to,

$\dot{V} = \pi r^2 v$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{\dot{V}}{\pi v}}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{3*10^{-3}*\frac{1}{60}}{\pi (17.48)}$

$r = \sqrt{9.10*10^{-7}}$

$r = 0.54*10^{-4}$

The diameter is 2 times the radius, then is $1.91*10^{-3}$ m or 1.91mm

A 165-km-long high-voltage transmission line 2.00 cm in diameter carries a steady current of 1,015 A. If the conductor is copper

elena55 [62]

Answer:

22.1 years

Explanation:

Since the current in the wire is I = nevA where n = electron density = 8.50 × 10²⁸ electrons/cm³ × 10⁶ cm³/m³= 8.50 × 10³⁴ electrons/m³, e = electron charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C, v = drift velocity of electrons and A = cross-sectional area of wire = πd²/4 where d = diameter of wire = 2.00 cm = 2 × 10⁻² m

Making v subject of the formula, we have

v = I/neA

So, v = I/neπd²/4

v = 4I/neπd²

Since I = 1,015 A, substituting the values of the other variables into the equation, we have

v = 4I/neπd²

v = 4(1,015 A)/[8.50 × 10³⁴ electrons/m³ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × π ×(2 × 10⁻² m)²]

v = 4(1,015 A)/[8.50 × 10³⁴ electrons/m³ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × π × 4 × 10⁻⁴ m²]

v = (1,015 A)/[42.779 × 10¹¹ electronsC/m]

v = 23.73 × 10⁻¹¹ m/s

v = 2.373 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

Since distance d = speed, v × time, t

d = vt

So, the time it takes one electron to travel the full length of the cable is t = d/v

Since d = distance moved by free charge = length of transmission line = 165 km = 165 × 10³ m and v = drift velocity of charge = 2.373 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

t = 165 × 10³ m/2.373 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

t = 69.54 × 10⁷ s

t = 6.954 × 10⁸ s

Since we have 365 × 24 hr/day × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = 31536000 s in a year = 3.1536 × 10⁷ s

So, 6.954 × 10⁸ s = 6.954 × 10⁸ s × 1yr/3.1536 × 10⁷ s = 2.21 × 10 yrs = 22.1 years

It will take one electron 22.1 years to travel the full length of the cable

The sound level at a distance of 1.48 m from a source is 120 dB. At what distance will the sound level be 70.7 dB?

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The second distance of the sound from the source is 431.78 m..

Explanation:

Given;

first distance of the sound from the source, r₁ = 1.48 m

first sound intensity level, I₁ = 120 dB

second sound intensity level, I₂ = 70.7 dB

second distance of the sound from the source, r₂ = ?

The intensity of sound in W/m² is given as;

$dB = 10 Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\For \ 120 dB\\\\120 = 10Log[\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}]\\\\12 = Log[\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}]\\\\10^{12} = \frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}\\\\I = 10^{12} \ \times \ 10^{-12}\\\\I = 1 \ W/m^2$

$For \ 70.7 dB\\\\70.7 = 10Log[\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}]\\\\7.07 = Log[\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}]\\\\10^{7.07} = \frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}\\\\I = 10^{7.07} \ \times \ 10^{-12}\\\\I = 1 \times \ 10^{-4.93} \ W/m^2$

The second distance, r₂, can be determined from sound intensity formula given as;

$I = \frac{P}{A}\\\\I = \frac{P}{\pi r^2}\\\\Ir^2 = \frac{P}{\pi }\\\\I_1r_1^2 = I_2r_2^2\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{I_1r_1^2}{I_2} \\\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{I_1r_1^2}{I_2}} \\\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{(1)(1.48^2)}{(1 \times \ 10^{-4.93})}}\\\\r_2 = 431.78 \ m$

Therefore, the second distance of the sound from the source is 431.78 m.

What can you conclude about the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth?

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy of a pendulum is conserved neglecting the friction.

Explanation:

When a simple pendulum swings back and forth, it has some energy associated with its motion.
The total energy of a simple pendulum in harmonic motion at any instant of time is equal to the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.
The potential energy of the simple pendulum is given by P.E = mgh
The kinetic energy of the simple pendulum is given by, K.E = 1/2mv²
When the pendulum swings to one end, its velocity equals zero temporarily where the potential energy becomes maximum.
When the pendulum reaches the vertical line, its velocity and kinetic energy become maximum.
Hence, the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth is conserved neglecting the resistance.
