Answer: 2738.5 cubic metres

Explanation: Given that

Flow rate Q = 350m^3/s

Height h = 2m

Distance x = 100m

Using pythagorean theorem to find the length L of the pipe

L^2 = 100^2 + 2^2

L^2 = 10004

L = 100.02 m

Let assume that the pipe is uniform of same diameter at both ends and water flows through the pipe

Let also consider the atmospheric pressure at the upper channel

Using bernoulli equation

P1 = P2 + 1/2pV^2

Where P2 = phg

P1 = atmospheric pressure = 101325pa

V = velocity

p = density = 1000kg/m3

101325 = 1000×9.81×2 + (0.5×1000V^2)

101325 - 19620 = 500V^2

81705 = 500V^2

V^2 = 163.41

V = 12.8 m/s

Q = V × A

Where A = area of the pipe

A = Q/V

A = 350/12.8 = 27.4 square metre

The volume of the pipe = A × L

Volume = 27.4 × 100.02

Volume = 2738.5 cubic metres

The volume of the pipe determines how large a pipe is needed to carry the flow

Answer:

D ≈ 8.45 m

L ≈ 100.02 m

Explanation:

Given

Q = 350 m³/s (volumetric water flow rate passing through the stretch of channel, maximum capacity of the aqueduct)

y₁ - y₂ = h = 2.00 m (the height difference from the upper to the lower channels)

x = 100.00 m (distance between the upper and the lower channels)

We assume that:

  • the upper and the lower channels are at the same pressure (the atmospheric pressure).
  • the velocity of water in the upper channel is zero (v₁ = 0 m/s).
  • y₁ = 2.00 m  (height of the upper channel)
  • y₂ = 0.00 m  (height of the lower channel)
  • g = 9.81 m/s²
  • ρ = 1000 Kg/m³ (density of water)

We apply Bernoulli's equation as follows between the point 1 (the upper channel) and the point 2 (the lower channel):

P₁ + (ρ*v₁²/2) + ρ*g*y₁ = P₂ + (ρ*v₂²/2) + ρ*g*y₂

Plugging the known values into the equation and simplifying we get

Patm + (1000 Kg/m³*(0 m/s)²/2) + (1000 Kg/m³)*(9.81 m/s²)*(2 m) = Patm + (1000 Kg/m³*v₂²/2) + (1000 Kg/m³)*(9.81 m/s²)*(0 m)

⇒ v₂ = 6.264 m/s

then we apply the formula

Q = v*A  ⇒   A = Q/v ⇒   A = Q/v₂

⇒   A = (350 m³/s)/(6.264 m/s)

⇒   A = 55.873 m²

then, we get the diameter of the pipe as follows

A = π*D²/4   ⇒   D = 2*√(A/π)

⇒   D = 2*√(55.873 m²/π)

⇒   D = 8.434 m ≈ 8.45 m

Now, the length of the pipe can be obtained as follows

L² = x² + h²

⇒ L² = (100.00 m)² + (2.00 m)²

⇒ L ≈ 100.02 m

A 5 newton force and a 7 newton force act concurrently on a point. As the angle between the forces is increased from 0 to 180 th
Reika [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant decreases from A+B to A-B

Explanation:

The magnitude of the resultant of two vectors is given by

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2 +2AB cos \theta}

where

A is the magnitude of the first vector

B is the magnitude of the second vector

\theta is the angle between the directions of the two vectors

In the formula, A and B are constant, so the behaviour depends only on the function cos \theta. The value of cos \theta are:

- 1 (maximum) when the angle is 0, so the magnitude of the resultant in this case is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+2AB}=\sqrt{(A+B)^2}=A+B

- then it decreases, until it becomes 0 when the angle is 90 degrees, where the magnitude of the resultant is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+0}=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}

- then it becomes negative, and continues to decrease, until it reaches a value of -1 when the angle is 180 degrees, and the magnitude of the resultant is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2-2AB}=\sqrt{(A-B)^2}=A-B

What is force of gravity​
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects. At Earth's surface the acceleration of gravity is about 9.8 metres (32 feet) per second per second.

A cyclotron is to accelerate protons to an energy of 5.4 MeV. The superconduction electromagnet of the cyclotron produces a 2.9T
mart [117]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Radius = 0.0818 m

Angular velocity = 2.775 × 10^7 rad/sec

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The mass of proton m=1.6748 × 10^-27 kg;  

Charge of electron e= 1.602 × 10^-19 C;  

kinetic energy E= 2.7 MeV

                          = 2.7 × 10^6 × 1.602 × 10^-19 J;

                          = 4.32 × 10^-13 Joules

But; K.E =0.5m*v^2,

Hence v=√(2K.E/m)

Velocity = 2.27 × 10^7 m/s

Angular velocity, ω = v/r

Therefore; V = ωr

Hence; V = √(2K.E/m) = ωr

r= √(2E/m)/w = √E*√(2*m)/(eB)

  = √E * √(2×1.6748×10^-27)/(1.602×10^-19 ×2.9)

but E =  4.32 × 10^-13 Joules

  r = 0.0818 m

Angular speed

Angular velocity, ω = v/r , where r is the radius and v is the velocity

Therefore;

Angular velocity = 2.27 × 10^7 / 0.0818 m

                            = 2.775 × 10^7 rad /sec

A meter stick A hurtles through space at a speed v = 0.25c relative to you, with its length aligned with the direction of motion
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

L_0\approx1.0328\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • relativistic length of stick A, L=1\ m
  • relativistic velocity of stick A with respect to observer, v=0.25c=7.5\times 10^{7}\ m.s^{-1}

<em>Since the object is moving with a velocity comparable to the velocity of light  with respect to the observer therefore the length will appear shorter according to the theory of relativity.</em>

<u> Mathematical expression of the theory of relativity for length contraction:</u>

L=\frac{L_0}{\gamma}

where:

L = relativistic length

L_0= original length at rest

\gamma = Lorentz factor =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

\Rightarrow 1=\frac{L_0}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.25c)^2}{c^2} } }}

L_0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.25c)^2}{c^2} } }

L_0\approx1.0328\ m
