Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every object attracts every other object with a force. For any two objects, this force is directly proportional to the mass of each object. The greater the masses, the greater the force of attraction between them. Newton also deduced that this force decreases as the square of the distance between the centers of the objects increases. The farther away the objects are from each other, the less the force of attraction between them.

What is the pressure drop due to the bernoulli effect as water goes into a 3.00-cm-diameter nozzle from a 9.00-cm-diameter fire

Paul [167]

Answer:

$\Delta P=1581357.92\ Pa$

Explanation:

Given:

diameter of hose pipe, $D=0.09\ m$

diameter of nozzle, $d=0.03\ m$

volume flow rate, $\dot{V}=40\ L.s^{-1}=0.04\ m^3.s^{-1}$

Now, flow velocity in hose:

$v_h=\frac{\dot V}{\pi.D^2\div 4}$

$v_h=\frac{0.04\times 4}{\pi\times 0.09^2}$

$v_h=6.2876\ m.s^{-1}$

Now, flow velocity in nozzle:

$v_n=\frac{\dot V}{\pi.d^2\div 4}$

$v_n=\frac{0.04\times 4}{\pi\times 0.03^2}$

$v_n=56.5884\ m.s^{-1}$

We know the Bernoulli's equation:

$\frac{P_1}{\rho.g}+\frac{v_1^2}{2g}+Z_1=\frac{P_2}{\rho.g}+\frac{v_2^2}{2g}+Z_2$

when the two points are at same height then the eq. becomes

$\frac{P_1}{\rho.g}+\frac{v_1^2}{2g}=\frac{P_2}{\rho.g}+\frac{v_2^2}{2g}$

$\Delta P=\frac{\rho(v_n^2-v_h^2)}{2}$

$\Delta P=\frac{1000(56.5884^2-6.2876^2)}{2}$

$\Delta P=1581357.92\ Pa$

A circuit has a 10 Ω resistor connected to a 1.5 V dry cell. What is the current that can flow in the circuit?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Here is the highly detailed, arcane, complex, technical form of Ohm's Law that is needed in order to answer this question ===> I = V / R .

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Current = (1.5 V) / (10 Ω)

Current = 0.15 Ampere

1. A 2m-long and 3m-wide horizontal rectangular plate is submerged in water. The distance of the top surface from the free surfa

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

864 KN

Explanation:

(Absolute pressure) = (Atmospheric pressure) + (Gauge Pressure)

Atmospheric pressure = 95 KPa = 95000 Pa

Gauge Pressure = ρgh

ρ = density of the fluid = 1000 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = depth below the fluid level that the object is at = 5 m

Gauge Pressure = 1000 × 9.8 × 5 = 49000 Pa

Absolute pressure = 95000 + 49000 = 144000 Pa.

Pressure = (Hydrostatic force)/(Area perpendicular to the force)

Hydrostatic force = (Pressure) × (Area perpendicular to the force)

Area perpendicular to the force = 2 × 3 = 6 m²

Hydrostatic force on the top of the plate = 144000 × 6 = 864000 N = 864 KN

Hope this Helps!!!
