Answer:

17.78 m/s

Explanation:

Average speed is found by simply dividing the distance travelled by the time that it took to finish the trip. It's measured in meters per second (m/s), so first convert the quantities.

1 km = 1000 m, so 16 km is 16000 m

0.25 hours is 15 minutes. Since 1 minute is 60 seconds, then 15 minutes must be 900 seconds.

Thus:

average speed = total distance/total time = 16000 m / 900 s = 17.78 m/s

Hope this helps!

A thin plate 6 ft long and 3 ft wide is submerged and held stationary in a stream of water (T = 60°F) that has a velocity of 17

VashaNatasha [74]

A) In the case of the Boundary Thickness Layer we use the given formula,

$\delta = \frac{4.91x}{\sqrt{Re}}$

We know as well that,

Re = Número de Reynolds = $\frac{U*x}{\upsilon}$

Where,

U = velocity

$\upsilon$ = kinematic viscosity

For water, kinematic viscosity, $\upsilon = 1.21*10^{-5} ft^2 /s$

So, $500,000 = \frac{ 17x}{(1.21*10^{-5})}$

$x = 0.355 ft$

$d = \frac{4.91*0.355}{\sqrt {500000}}$

$d = 0.002465 ft = 0.029in$

B) For flat plate boundary layer. Given the Critical Reynolds Number.= 5*10^5 we know that is equal to Re above.

Thus, $x = 0.355 ft$

C. Wall shear stress,

$\tau = \mu*\sqrt{ U^3 / (2*\nu*x) }$

For water, dynamic viscosity, $\nu$ = 2.344*10^-5 lbf-s/ft^2

$\tau = 2.344*10^-5 \sqrt {17^3 / (2*1.21*10^{-5}*0.355)}$

$\tau = 0.5605 lbf/ft^2$

If a projectile fired beneath the water, straight up, breaks through the surface at a speed of 13m/s, to what height above the w

OlgaM077 [116]

Well if you had either the velocity or distance traveled i could tell you. But since you haven't all i can say for sure is that the water slowed the bullet down to 13m/s so lets say you knew the distance you would calculate how many meters it traveled and you would have your answer because in this situation, meters (height) =how many seconds spent going into the air.
