Response:

$P_t=5066250.0696\ Pa=50\ atm$

Clarification:

Provided:

diameter of the pipe, $d=0.1\ m$

the throat's diameter, $d_t=0.02\ m$

flow velocity, $v=0.4\ m.s^{-1}$

The pressure in the pipe is twice the atmospheric pressure:

$P=2\times 101325=202650\ Pa$

To find the water's flow force:

$F=P\times A$

we now calculate the cross-sectional area of the pipe:

$A=\frac{\pi.d^2}{4}$

$A=\pi \times\frac{0.1}{4}$

$A=0.007854\ m^2$

Thus,

$F=202650\times 0.007854$

$F=1591.6094\ N$

Next, we determine the area at the throat:

$A_t=\frac{\pi.d_t^2}{4}$

$A_t=\frac{\pi\times 0.02^2}{4}$

$A_t=0.000314\ m^2$

So, the pressure at the throat becomes:

$P_t=\frac{F}{A_t}$

$P_t=\frac{1591.6094}{0.000314}$

$P_t=5066250.0696\ Pa=50\ atm$

Leading edge flaps can be used to decrease (or eliminate) the leading edge suction peak at a desired lift coefficient. When airf

kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

An examination is conducted to assess how basic thin airfoils perform in slightly supersonic flow conditions, utilizing the nonlinear transonic theory initially proposed by von Kármán[1]. Formulas for the pressure coefficient across an oblique shock and a Prandtl-Meyer expansion are devised based on a transonic similarity variable. Aerodynamic coefficients are computed in similarity form for flat plates and asymmetric wedge airfoils, and their graphical representations are created. Sample plots are provided for a flat plate and a particular asymmetric wedge, shown on conventional coordinate axes of Cl, Cd, and Cmc/4 in relation to angle of attack and Cl against Mach Number to showcase distinct characteristics of nonlinear flow.

A person who weighs 625 N is riding a 98-N mountain bike. Suppose that the entire weight of the rider and bike is supported equa

Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Explanation:

Given data:

Person's weight = 625 N

Bike's weight = 98 N

Pressure per tire = 7.60 x 10⁵ Pa

Find: Contact area per tire

Total system weight = 625 + 98 = 723 N

Let F represent the force supported by each tire

2F = 723 N

Therefore, F = 361.5 N

Using the formula F = P × A

$A = \dfrac{F}{P}$

$A = \dfrac{361.5}{7.60 \times 10^5}$

Contact area, A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

A container is filled with an ideal diatomic gas to a pressure and volume of P1 and V1, respectively. The gas is then warmed in

Maru [3345]

Answer:

Explanation:

The transitions occur as follows:

P₁ V₁ changes to 3P₁, V₁ (with constant volume) — first phase.

Subsequently, 3P₁,V₁ transitions to 3P₁, 5V₁ (with constant pressure) — second phase.

During the initial phase, the temperature must be escalated by a factor of 3. Therefore, if the starting temperature is T₁, then the ending temperature will be 3 T₁.

P₁V₁ = n R T₁, where n represents the number of moles of gas.

Thus, nRT₁ = P₁V₁.

The heat added at constant volume is given by n Cv (3T₁ - T₁),

= n x 5/3 R X 2T₁ (noting that for diatomic gas, Cv = 5/3 R).

= 10/3 x nRT₁

= 10/3 x P₁V₁.

In the second phase, the temperature must rise 5 times. Thus, if the initial temperature is 3T₁, then the final temperature will be 15 T₁.

The heat added at constant pressure in this scenario becomes:

= n Cp (15T₁ - 3T₁)

= n x 7/3 R X 12T₁ (for diatomic gases, Cp = 7/3 R).

= 28 x nRT₁

= 28 P₁V₁.

A 5 kg object near Earth's surface is released from rest such that it falls a distance of 10 m. After the object falls 10 m, it

Ostrovityanka [3204]

Response:D

Clarification:

Provided

mass of object $m=5 kg$

Distance traveled $h=10 m$

resulting velocity $v=12 m/s$

energy conservation occurs starting when the object begins its descent and reaches a speed of 12 m/s

Initial Energy $=mgh=5\times 9.8\times 10=490 J$

Final Energy $=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+W_{f}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 12^2+W_{f}$

where $W_{f}$ is the work done by friction, if any

$490=360+W_{f}$

$W_{f}=130 J$

As friction is present, this indicates an open system with a net external force of zero.

An open system allows for the exchange of energy and mass, and the presence of friction indicates that it is indeed an open system.
