Given: The drag characteristics of a torpedo are to be studied in a water tunnel using a 1:5 scale model. The tunnel operates wi

th fresh water at 20°C, whereas the prototype torpedo is to be used in seawater at 15.6°C. To correctly simulate the behavior of the prototype moving with the velocity of 30 m/s, what velocity (in m/s) is required in the water tunnel?

Answer:

The velocity in the water tunnel is 128.717m/s

Explanation:

To find the result we need to Apply dynamic symiliraty, that is,

\frac{V_m I_m}{\upsilon_m}= \frac{VI}{\upsilon}

Where \upsilon_i is the kinematic viscosity, V the velocity and I the lenght.

To find the kinematic viscosity it is necessary search in the table with this properties (I attached it)

To this kind of fluids, the properties to 15.6°c (Seawater) and 20°c (Water)are:

\upsilon_m= 1.17*10^{-6}m^2/s (Seawater)

\upsilon_m = 1.004*10^{-6}m^2/s (Water)

Replacing,

\frac{V_m I_m}{\upsilon_m}= \frac{VI}{\upsilon}

Solving to V_m

V_m = \frac{I}{I_m}\frac{\upsilon_m}{\upsilon}V

V_m= \frac{5}{1} * \frac {1.004*10^{-6}}{1.17*10^{-6}} 30

V_m = 128.717m/s

The velocity in the water tunnel is 128.717m/s

9. How much work is done when a 15kg box is lifted to a height of 2 meters?
torisob [31]

Answer: W = 294 J

Explanation: Solution:

Work is expressed as the product of force and the distance of the object.

W = Fd        where F = mg

W= Fd

   = mg d

   = 15 kg ( 9.8 m/s²) ( 2m )

   = 294 J

An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elect
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Speed of the alpha particle is v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec      

Explanation:

We have given charge on alpha particle q=3.2\times 10^{-19}C

Mass of the alpha particle m=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg

Potential difference V=-3.45\times 10^{-3}volt

We have to find the speed of the alpha particle

From energy conservation we know that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

\frac{1}{2}\times 6.68\times 10^{-27}\times v^2=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 3.45\times 10^{-3}

v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec
