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

How much current must flow through a wire to make a magnetic field as strong as Earth's field (5.00 x 10^-5 T) 1.00 m away from
torisob [31]

Answer:

250 A

Explanation:

B = 5 x 10^-5 T, r = 1 m

Let current be i.

the magnetic field due to a straight current carrying conductor is given by

B = μ0 / 4π x 2i / r

5 x 10^-5 = 10^-7 x 2 x i / 1

i = 250 A

1. An object on Earth and the same object on the Moon would have a difference in
Feliz [49]

Answers: (1) a. weight, (2)b. Force changes by 2/9, (3)b. movement, (4)a. 40,000 Joules, (5)c. the soil will be 5°C.

<h2>Answer 1: a. weight</h2>

Mass and weight are very different concepts.  

Mass is the amount of matter that exists in a body, which only depends on the quantity and type of particles within it. This means mass is an intrinsic property of each body and remains the same regardless of where the body is located.  

On the other hand, weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and is directly proportional to the product of the mass m of the body by the acceleration of gravity g:  

W=m.g  

Then, since the Earth and the Moon have different values ​​of gravity, t<u>he weight of an object in each place will vary</u>, but its mass will not.

<h2>Answer 2: b. Force changes by 2/9</h2>

According to the law of universal gravitation, which is a classical physical law that describes the gravitational interaction between different bodies with mass:  

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2} (1)

Where:  

F is the module of the force exerted between both bodies  

G is the universal gravitation constant

m_{1} and m_{2} are the masses of both bodies.

r is the distance between both bodies

If we double the mass of one object (for example 2m_{1}) and triple the distance between both (for example 3r). The equation (1) will be rewritten as:

F=G\frac{2m_{1}m_{2}}{(3r)^2} (2)

F=\frac{2}{9}G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2} (3)

If we compare (1) and (2) we will be able to see the force changes by 2/9.

<h2>Answer 3: b. movement</h2>

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is <u>moved</u> by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

When the applied force is constant and <u>the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel,</u> the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d)

Now, <u>when they are not parallel, both directions form an angle</u>, let's call it \alpha. In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:  

W=Fdcos{\alpha}

Therefore, pushing on a rock accomplishes no work unless there is movement (independently of the fact that movement is parallel to the applied force or not).

<h2>Answer 4: a. 40,000 Joules</h2>

The Kinetic Energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}   (4)

Where m is the mass of the body and V its velocity

For the first case (kinetic energy K_{1}=10000J  for a car at V_{1}=30 mph=13.4112m/s):

K_{1}=\frac{1}{2}mV_{1}^{2}   (5)

Finding m:

m=\frac{2K_{1}}{V_{1}^{2}}   (6)

m=\frac{2(10000J)}{(13.4112m/s)^{2}}   (7)

m=111.197kg   (8)

For the second case (unknown kinetic energy K_{2}  for a car with the same mass at V_{2}=60 mph=26.8224m/s):

K_{2}=\frac{1}{2}mV_{2}^{2}   (9)

K_{2}=\frac{1}{2}(111.197kg)(26.8224m/s)^{2}   (10)

K_{2}=40000J   (11)

<h2>Answer 5: c. the soil will be 5°C</h2>

The formula to calculate the amount of calories Q is:

Q=m. c. \Delta T   (12)

Where:

m  is the mass

c  is the specific heat of the element. For water is c_{w}=1 kcal/g\°C  and for soil is c_{s}=0.20 kcal/g\°C  

\Delta T  is the variation in temperature (the amount we want to find for both elements)

This means we have to clear \Delta T from (12) :

\Delta T=\frac{Q}{m.c}   (13)

For Water:

\Delta T_{w}=\frac{Q_{w}}{m_{w}.c_{w}}   (14)

\Delta T_{w}=\frac{1kcal}{(1kg)(1 kcal/g\°C)}   (15)

\Delta T_{w}=1\°C)}   (16)

For Soil:

\Delta T_{s}=\frac{Q_{s}}{m_{s.c_{s}}   (17)

\Delta T_{s}=\frac{1kcal}{(1kg)(0.20 kcal/g\°C)}   (18)

\Delta T_{s}=5\°C)}   (19)

Hence the correct option is c.

The directions of magnetic force and magnetic field lines are shown in the figure.

The direction to find out the magnetic field lines is given by right hand curl rule. If the thumb shows the direction of current, then the curling fingers show the direction of magnetic field lines.

The direction of force can be given by right hand thumb rule, where

Thumb - Direction of magnetic field lines
Forefinger - Magnetic force
Centre finger - Current  

Such that forefinger, centre finger and thumb must be at 90 degrees to each other.
