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 grasshopper leaps into the air at a 62° angle above the horizontal, and follows a parabolic arc in free fall after it leaves t
harina [27]

Answer:

d. None of the above.

Explanation:

In a parabolic motion, you have that in the complete trajectory the component velocity is constant and the vertical component changes in time. Then, the total velocity vector is not zero.

In the complete trajectory the gravitational acceleration is always present. Then, the grasshopper's acceleration vector is not zero.

At the top of the arc the grasshopper is not at equilibrium because the gravitational force is constantly acting on the grasshopper.

Then, the correct answer is:

d. None of the above.

3. The electric field of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave has an amplitude of 5.0 V/m. How much radiation energy passes through
True [87]

Answer:

e) 179 J

Explanation:

E_{o} = Magnitude of electric field = 5 V/m

A = Area of window = 1.5 m²

c = speed of electromagnetic wave = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

\Delta t = time interval = 1 h = 3600 sec

radiation energy is given as

U = (0.5)\epsilon _{o}E_{o}^{2}cA\Delta t

U = (0.5)(8.85\times 10^{-12})(5)^{2}(3\times 10^{8})(1.5)(3600)

U = 179 J

620 J of heat is added to the cylinder of an engine, which causes the gas inside to expand. As a result, the piston of the engin
Maru [420]

Answer:

<u>400</u> J work is done BY the engine.

The internal energy of the gas is <u>620</u> J

Explanation:

The given information are;

The heat added to the cylinder = 620 J

The force applied by the piston of the engine = 8.0 kN = 8,000 N

The distance over which the force moves (the piston) = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

The work done (by the engine) = Force × Distance = 8,000 N × 0.05 m = 400 J

The internal energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the system

Therefore, given that the internal energy, U, is the sum total of the energy in the system

∴ U = The heat supplied to the system = 620 J

Which gives;

<u>400</u> J work is done BY the engine.

The internal energy of the gas is <u>620</u> J.
