Answer:

155fts

Explanation:

We apply the bernoulli's equation to get the depth of water.

We have the following information

P1 = pressure at top water surface = 0

V1 = velocity at too water surface = 0

X1 = height of water surface = h

Hf = friction loss = 0

P2 = pressure at exit = 0

V2 = velocity at exit if penstock = 100ft/s

X2 = height of penstock = 0

g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2ft/s²

Applying these values to the equation

0 + 0 + h = 0 + v2²/2g +0 + 0

= h = 100²/2x32.2

= 10000/64.4

= 155.28ft

= 155

Answer: c. Centre of pressure​

Explanation:

Pressure is applied on a surface when a force is exerted on a particular point on that surface by another object when the two come into contact with each other.

The point where the pressure is applied is known as the centre of the pressure with the force then spreading out from this point much like an epicentre in an earthquake.

What's the monomer? Show the structure.
ivolga24 [154]

In order to understand a monomer let´s first see the structure of a polymer. As an example, in the first figure polyethylene (or polyethene) is shown. This polymer, like every other one, is composed of many repeated subunits, these subunits are called monomer. In the second figure, polyethylene's monomer is shown.

1. Calculate the battery life in years when a pacemaker has the following characteristics: Battery Ampere-hours = 1.5 Pulse volt
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

battery life in year = 9 years and 48 days

Explanation:

given data

Battery Ampere-hours = 1.5

Pulse voltage = 2 V

Pulse width = 1.5 m sec

Pulse time period = 1 sec

Electrode heart resistance = 150 Ω

Current drain on the battery = 1.25 µA

to find out

battery life in years

solution

we get first here duty cycle that is express as

duty cycle = \frac{width}{period}      ...............1

duty cycle = 1.5 × 10^{-3}

and applied voltage will be

applied voltage = duty energy × voltage    ...........2

applied voltage = 1.5 × 10^{-3} × 2

applied voltage = 3 mV

so current will be

current = \frac{applied\ voltage}{resistance}   ................3

current = \frac{3}{150}

current = 20 µA

so net current will be

net current = 20 - 1.25

net current = 18.75 µA

so battery life will be

battery life = \frac{1.5}{18.75*10^{-6}}

battery life = 80000 hours

battery life in year = \frac{80000}{8760}

battery life in year = 9.13 years

battery life in year = 9 years and 48 days
