An underground tunnel has two openings, with one opening a few meters higher than the other. If air moves past the higher openin

g at a greater speed than it moves past the lower opening, what happens inside the tunnel?

Answer:

There would be a pressure drop in the direction of the higher opening. This will force air to move in from the lower opening and force it to leave through the higher opening. This will create a convectional movement of air, cooling and ventilating the tunnel.

Explanation:

This is in accordance with bernoulli's law of fluid flow which states that the pressure exerted by a moving fluid is lesser than it would exert if it were at rest.

A baseball of mass m = 0.49 kg is dropped from a height h1 = 2.25 m. It bounces from the concrete below and returns to a final h
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum

mv - mu , v and u are final and initial velocity during impact at surface

For downward motion of baseball

v² = u² + 2gh₁

= 2 x 9.8 x 2.25

v = 6.64 m / s

It becomes initial velocity during impact .

For body going upwards

v² = u² - 2gh₂

u² = 2 x 9.8 x 1.38

u = 5.2 m / s

This becomes final velocity after impact

change in momentum

m ( final velocity - initial velocity )

.49 ( 5.2 - 6.64 )

= .7056 N.s.

Impulse by floor in upward direction

= .7056 N.s

An initially neutral glass rod is rubbed with silk. It becomes positively charged by_____.a) electrons are created on the rod.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

e) electrons are transferred from the rod to the silk.

Explanation:

An initially neutral glass rod contains equal number of electron and proton.

If the rod becomes positively charged  after being rubbed with silk, then the rod must have lost some its electron to the silk since electrons are more mobile than protons, leaving the rod with excess positive charge (protons), and the silk will be negatively charged (excess electron).

Thus, the rod becomes positively charged by transfer of electrons from rod to the silk.

e) electrons are transferred from the rod to the silk.

g A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobb
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

total weight acting downwards

= 3g + 10g

13 g

volume of lead = 10 / 11.3 = .885 cm³

Let the volume of bobber submerged in water be v in floating position . buoyant force on bobber  = v x 1 x g

Buoyant force on lead =  .885 x 1 x g

total buoyant force = vg + .885 g

For floating

vg + .885 g  = 13 g

v = 12.115 cm³

total volume of bobber

= 4/3 x 3.14 x 2³

= 33.5 cm³

fraction of volume submerged

= 12.115  / 33.5

= .36  

= 36 %

A windowpane is half a centimeter thick and has an area of 1.0 m2. The temperature difference between the inside and outside sur
polet [3.4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the heat flux rate expressed in energetic terms. The rate of heat flow is the amount of heat that is transferred per unit of time in some material. Mathematically it can be expressed as:

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA}{L} (T_H - T_C)

Where

k = 0.84 J/s⋅m⋅°C (The thermal conductivity of the material)

A = 1m^2 Area

L = 5*10^{-3}m Length

T_H= Temperature of the "hot"reservoir

T_C= Temperature of the "cold"reservoir

Replacing with our values we have that,

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA}{L} (T_H - T_C)

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{(0.84)(1)}{0.005} (15)

\frac{Q}{t} = 2520J/s

Therefore the correct answer is B.

Sketch a position-time graph for a bear starting
Dmitrij [34]

Explanation:

hopefully that makes sense. the position doesn't change over the 5 seconds, meaning it's stopped but time still continues. then when the slope is negative this shows the bear's position becoming negative (backing up, changing direction).
