Answer:

a=4\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a body, u = 0

Final speed of the body, v = 20 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the acceleration of the body. We know that the acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity divided by time taken. So,

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{20-0}{5}\\\\a=4\ m/s^2

So, the body's acceleration is equal to 4\ m/s^2.

The Reynolds number, rho VD/mu, is a very important parameter in fluid mechanics. Verify that the Reynolds number is dimensionle
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Re = 1 10⁴

Explanation:

Reynolds number is

         Re = ρ v D /μ

The units of each term are

       ρ = [kg / m³]

       v = [m / s]

      D = [m]

      μ = [Pa s]

The pressure

      Pa = [N / m²] = [Kg m / s²] 1 / [m²] = [kg / m s²]

      μ = [Pa s] = [kg / m s²] [s] = [kg / m s]

We substitute the units in the equation

      Re = [kg / m³] [m / s] [m] / [kg / m s]

      Re = [kg / m s] / [m s / kg]

      RE = [ ]

Reynolds number is a scalar

Let's evaluate for the given point

Where the data for methane are:

viscosity       μ = 11.2 10⁻⁶ Pa s

the density  ρ = 0.656 kg / m³

       D = 2 in (2.54 10⁻² m / 1 in) = 5.08 10⁻² m

       Re = 0.656 4 2 5.08 10⁻² /11.2 10⁻⁶

       Re = 1.19 10⁴

Which method of measurement would be accurate but lack precision?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

reading the volume of water in a graduated cylinder which can be read to the nearest mL is accurate, it lacks precision due to the bottom meniscus formed.

the bottom meniscus may cause a wrong reading due to refraction of light

Answer:

Explanation:

An insulator. You can see ceramic insulators on telephone poles and power poles if you look carefully. If you live in a city, somewhere in that city is a power station. The insulators are huge. They have to be. The currents are very large in many cases.
