Answer: B. Scientists perform experiments and investigations to gather data and evidence prior to making conclusions.

Explanation:

A scientific objectivity can be define as methods, claims and results obtain by the scientists after implementing the appropriate methodology. The objectivity of the outcome can also be influenced by personal interests, community bias and manipulations. But it should be completely based upon the outcomes of scientific procedures.

On the basis of the above explanation, B. Scientists perform experiments and investigations to gather data and evidence prior to making conclusions. is the correct option. As the procedures and results are liable to be questioned by the scientific community.

Derive the equation of motion of the block of mass m1 in terms of its displacement x. The friction between the block and the sur

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

the equivalent mass : $m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$

the equation of the motion of the block of mass $m_1$ in terms of its displacement is = $(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

Explanation:

Let use m₁ to represent the mass of the block and m₂ to represent the mass of the cylinder

The radius of the cylinder be = R

The distance between the center of the pulley to center of the block to be = x

Also, the angles of inclinations of the cylinder and the block with respect to the ground to be $\phi$ and $\beta$ respectively.

The velocity of the block to be = v

The equivalent mass of the system = $m_e$

In the terms of the equivalent mass, the kinetic energy of the system can be written as:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} m_ev^2$ --------------- equation (1)

The angular velocity of the cylinder = $\omega$ : &

The inertia of the cylinder about its center to be = I

The angular velocity of the cylinder can be written as:

$v = \omega R$

$\omega =\frac{v}{R}$

The kinetic energy of the system in terms of individual mass can be written as:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

By replacing $\omega$ with $\frac{v}{R}$ ; we have:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I(\frac{v}{R})^2$

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+ m_2+ \frac{I}{R} )v^2$ ------------------ equation (2)

Equating both equation (1) and (2); we have:

$m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$

Therefore, the equivalent mass : $m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}$ which is read as;

The equivalent mass is equal to the mass of the block plus the mass of the cylinder plus the inertia by the square of the radius.

The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the block is as follows:

$f_{block }=m_1gsin \beta$

Also; The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the cylinder is as follows:

$f_{cylinder} = m_2gsin \phi$

Equating the above both equations; we have the equation of motion of the equivalent system to be

$m_e \bar x = f_{cylinder}-f_{block}$

which can be written as follows from the previous derivations

$(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

Finally; the equation of the motion of the block of mass $m_1$ in terms of its displacement is = $(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)$

A fireboat is to fight fires at coastal areas by drawing seawater with a density of 1030 kg/m3 through a 10-cm-diameter pipe at

GaryK [48]

Answer:

50.93 m/s

199.5 kW

Explanation:

From the question, the nozzle exit diameter = 5 cm, Radius= diameter/2= 5cm/2= 2.5cm. we can convert it to metre for unit consistency= (2.5×0.01)=

0.025m

We can calculate the The cross sectional area of the nozzle as

A= πr^2

A= π ×0.025^2

= 1.9635 ×10^- ³ m²

From the question, the water is moving through the pipe at a rate of 0.1 m /s , then for the water to move through it at a seconds, it must move at

(0.1 / 1.9635 ×10^- ³ m²)

= 50.93 m/s

During the Operation of the pump, the Dynamic energy of the water= potential energy provided there is no loss during the Operation

mgh = 1/2mv²

We can make "h" subject of the formula, which is the height of required head of water

h = (1/2mv²)/mg

h= v² / 2g

h = 50.93² / (2 ×9.81)

h = 132.21m

From the question;

The total irreversible head loss of the system = 3 m,

the given position of nozzle = 3 m

the total head the pump needed=(The total irreversible head loss of the system + the position of the nozzle + required head of water )

=(3 + 3 + 132.21m)

=138.21m

mass of water pumped in a seconds can be calculated since we know that mass is a product of volume and density

Volume= 0.1m³

Density of sea water=1030 kg/m

(0.1 m^3× 1030)

= 103kg

We can calculate the Potential enegry, which is = mgh

= (103 ×9.81 × 138.21)

= 139651.5 Watts

= 139.65kW

To determine required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity

Energy= efficiency × power

But we are given efficiency of 70 percent, then

139651.5 Watts = 0.7P

=199502.18 Watts

P=199.5 kW

Therefore, the required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity is 199.5 kW
