A golf course sprinkler system discharges water from a horizontal pipe at the rate of 7200 cm3/s. At one point in the pipe, wher

e the radius is 4.00 cm, the water's absolute pressure is 2.40×105Pa. At a second point in the pipe, the water passes through a constriction where the radius is 2.00 cm. What is the water’s absolute pressure as it flows through this constriction?

Answer: $P_2=2.246\times 10^5 Pa$

Explanation:

Details provided include:

Flow rate $Q=7200 cm^3/s$

At one section $r_1=4 cm$

$A_1=\frac{\pi d_1^2}{4}$

$A_1=\frac{\pi 64}{4}=16\pi cm^2$

$P_1=2.4\times 10^5 Pa$

At the second segment

$r_2=2 cm$

$A_2=\frac{\pi d_2^2}{4}$

$A_2=4\pi cm^2$

Water density $\rho =10^3 kg/m^3$

Since the flow rate is constant, we have:

$Q=A_1v_1=A_2v_2$

$v_1=\frac{Q}{A_1}=\frac{7200}{16\pi }=143.22 cm/s\approx =1.43 m/s$

$v_2=\frac{Q}{A_2}=\frac{7200}{4\pi }=572.88 cm/s\approx 5.72 m/s$

Applying Bernoulli's equation, we write:

$P_1+\frac{\rho v_1^2}{2}+\rho gh_1=P_2+\frac{\rho v_2^2}{2}+\rho gh_2$

As the pipe is horizontal, it follows that $h_1-h_2=0$

Thus, $P_2=P_1+\frac{\rho }{2}\left [ v_1^2-v_2^2\right ]$

$P_2=2.40\times 10^5+\frac{10^3}{2}\left [ 1.43^2-5.72^2\right ]$

$P_2=2.40\times 10^5-0.1533\times 10^5$

$P_2=2.246\times 10^5 Pa$

On its own, a certain tow-truck has a maximum acceleration of 3.0 m/s2. what would be the maximum acceleration when this truck w

inna [3103]

Let us denote $a_1=3 m/s^2$ as the highest acceleration of the truck by itself. The force generated by the engine to propel the truck in this scenario is
$F= ma_1$
where m is the mass of the truck alone.

Upon attaching a bus that has double the mass of the truck, the total mass of the entire system (truck+bus) becomes (m+2m)=3m. In this situation, the force generated by the engine is
$F=3m a_2$
where a2 represents the new acceleration.
Since the engine remains unchanged, the force generated stays the same, allowing us to set the force equations equal to each other:
$m a_1 = 3 m a_2$
and solving for a2 gives us:
$a_2 = \frac{m a_1}{3 m}= \frac{a_1}{3}= \frac{3 m/s^2}{3}=1 m/s^2$

An infinite charged wire with charge per unit length lambda lies along the central axis of a cylindrical surface of radius r and

inna [3103]

The electric flux through the cylindrical surface surrounding the infinite charged wire is given by the formula ∅E = E x 2πrl. To analyze this, we consider an infinitely long straight wire with a uniform linear charge density of λ Cm⁻¹. The electric field at a distance r from this charge can be evaluated using a cylindrical Gaussian surface of radius r and length l, oriented along the wire. Only the curved surface of the cylinder contributes to the total flux since the other surfaces are perpendicular to E.

Water, of density 1000 kg/m3, is flowing in a drainage channel of rectangular cross-section. The width of the channel is 15 m, t

ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

The flow rate of water is (300000kg/s) = (300000l/s)

Explanation:

To compute the volume of moving fluid per second in the channel, we consider the channel's section, the water depth, and the fluid velocity:

Volume flow rate = 15m × 8m × (2.5m/s) = 300 m³/s

To find the mass or liters of water flowing per second, multiply the volume of circulating fluid by the water's density:

Flow rate of water = (300m³/s) × (1000kg/m³) = (300000kg/s) = (300000l/s)

It is important to note that 1kg of water is approximately equivalent to 1 liter.

At a given point on a horizontal streamline in flowing air, the static pressure is â2.0 psi (i.e., a vacuum) and the velocity is

Softa [3030]

Bernoulli's equation at a point on the streamline is
p/ρ + v²/(2g) = constant
where
p = pressure
v = velocity
ρ = air density, 0.075 lb/ft³ (under standard conditions)
g = 32 ft/s²

Point 1:
p₁ = 2.0 lb/in² = 2*144 = 288 lb/ft²
v₁ = 150 ft/s

Point 2 (stagnation):
The velocity at the stagnation point is zero.

The density stays constant.
Let p₂ denote the pressure at the stagnation location.
Then,
p₂ = ρ(p₁/ρ + v₁²/(2g))
p₂ = (288 lb/ft²) + [(0.075 lb/ft³)*(150 ft/s)²]/[2*(32 ft/s²)
= 314.37 lb/ft²
= 314.37/144 = 2.18 lb/in²

Thus, the answer is 2.2 psi

Jade and her roommate Jari commute to work each morning, traveling west on I-10. One morning Jade left for work at 6:45 A.M., bu

Maru [3345]

Answer:

Jari

Explanation:

To determine who is traveling faster, we need to evaluate their gradients. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed.

For Jari's path, starting point is (0, 0) and (6, 7) is another point.

The gradient is the difference in y divided by the difference in x:

Change in y=7-0=7

Change in x=6-0=6

Thus, the slope equals 7/6.

For Jade, her first point is (0, 10) and another is (6, 16).

Change in y=16-10=6

Change in x=6-0=6

Thus, the slope equals 6/6=1.

It's evident that 7/6 exceeds 6/6 or 1, proving Jari is quicker than Jade.
