When you urinate, you increase pressure in your bladder to produce the flow. For an elephant, gravity does the work. An elephant

urinates at a remarkable rate of 0.0060 m3 (a bit over a gallon and a half) per second. Assume that the urine exits 1.0 m below the bladder and passes through the urethra, which we can model as a tube of diameter 8.0 cm and length 1.2 m. Assume that urine has the same density as water, and that viscosity can be ignored for this flow.
1) What is the speed of the flow?
2) If we assume that the liquid is at rest in the bladder (a reasonable assumption) and that the pressure where the urine exits is equal to atmospheric pressure, what does Bernoulli's equation give for the pressure in the bladder?

Answer:

a) v =  1.19 m / s , b)   P₁ = 0.922 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

1) Let's use the fluid continuity equation

       Q = A v

The area of ​​a circle is

      A = π r2 = π d²/4

     

     v = Q / A = Q 4 / pi d²

     v = 0.006 4/π 0.08²

     v =  1.19 m / s

2) write Bernoulli's equation, where point 1 is the bladder and point 2 is the urine exit point

     P₁ + ½ rho v₁² + rho g y₁ = P₂ + ½ rho v₂² + rho g y₂

The exercise tell us

P₂ = 1.0013 105 Pa

v₁ = 0

y₁ = 1 m

y₂=0  

Rho (water) = 1000 kg / m³

      P₁ + rho y₁ = P₂ + ½ rho v₂²

      P₁ = P₂ + ½ rho v₂² - rho g y₁

      P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ + ½ 1000 (1.19)² - 1000 9.8 1

      P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ +708.5  - 9800

      P₁ =  92208.5Pa

      P₁ = 0.922 10⁵ Pa

Taya2010 [7]
In a circular motion scenario, the force that pulls the revolving object towards the centre is the force that produces the centripetal acceleration. So, in this case, the tension on the string is the force that pulls the puck towards the centre.

Therefore, it is the tension in the string that causes the centripetal acceleration of the puck

Hope I helped!! xx

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

B or D but im pretty sure it is D

Explanation:

When molecules are left in the sun, it heats up. When molecules heat up, the begin to vibrate rapidly. The sun is not constant as it could get blocked by clouds, so it would, at times, slow down the movement of the molecules. The answer is most likely D.

A player kicks a football into the air. It slows to a stop at its highest point in the air before falling to the ground. Which s
vivado [14]

Answer:

The ball slows down in the air due to an unbalanced force

Explanation:

When player kicks the ball, there are mainly two foces acting on this object: the force made by the player and the opposite force of gravity (which acts with a direction always to the centre of the Earth)

The force applied by the player will be decreasing, while the force of gravity is always constant, this will make that both forces will unbalance, making the football´s speed slow down

sorry - late reply...just stumbled across tis...hope u can still use it :)


By the mirror equation: 1/di + 1/do = 1/f

<span>where di = distance to image = +12cm (+ for real image)</span>


and do = distance to object = +8cm


Substitute and solve for f, the focal length

<span><span>
1/12 + 1/8 = 1/f
</span><span>
1/f = (8 + 12) / 12 * 8 = 20/96

so f = 96/20 = 4.8 cm</span>
