You use energy to heat your home. What ultimately happens to the energy that you pay for in your heating bill?
1. The energy escapes your home and heats
the outside.
2. The energy heats your home.
3. The energy disappears as it never exists.
4. The energy changes to mass.

A siphon pumps water from a large reservoir to a lower tank that is initially empty. The tank also has a rounded orifice 20 ft b

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

height of the water rise in tank is 10ft

Explanation:

Apply the bernoulli's equation between the reservoir surface (1) and siphon exit (2)

$\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{V^2_1}{2g} + z_1= \frac{P_2}{pg} + \frac{V_2^2}{2g} +z_2$

$\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{V^2_1}{2g} +( z_1-z_2)= \frac{P_2}{pg} + \frac{V_2^2}{2g}$ -------(1)

substitute $P_a_t_m for P_1, (P_a_t_m +pgh) for P_2$

0ft/s for V₁, 20ft for (z₁ - z₂) and 32.2ft/s² for g in eqn (1)

$\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{V^2_1}{2g} +( z_1-z_2)= \frac{P_2}{pg} + \frac{V_2^2}{2g}$

$\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{0^2_1}{2g} +( 20)= \frac{(P_a_t_m+pgh)}{pg} +\frac{V^2_2}{2\times32.2} \\\\V_2 = \sqrt{64.4(20-h)}$

Applying bernoulli's equation between tank surface (3) and orifice exit (4)

$\frac{P_3}{pg} + \frac{V^2_3}{2g} + z_3= \frac{P_4}{pg} + \frac{V_4^2}{2g} +z_4$

substitute

$P_a_t_m for P_3, P_a_t_m for P_4$

0ft/s for V₃, h for z₃, 0ft for z₄, 32,2ft/s² for g

$\frac{P_a_t_m}{pg} + \frac{0^2}{2g} +h=\frac{P_a_t_m}{pg} + \frac{V_4^2}{2\times32.2} +0\\\\V_4 =\sqrt{64.4h}$

At equillibrium Fow rate at point 2 is equal to flow rate at point 4

Q₂ = Q₄

A₂V₂ = A₃V₃

The diameter of the orifice and the siphon are equal , hence there area should be the same

substitute A₂ for A₃

$\sqrt{64.4(20-h)}$ for V₂

$\sqrt{64.4h}$ for V₄

A₂V₂ = A₃V₃

$A_2\sqrt{64.4(20-h)} = A_2\sqrt{64.4h}\\\\20-h=h\\\\h= 10ft$

Therefore ,height of the water rise in tank is 10ft

An airplane pilot wishes to fly directly westward. According to the weather bureau, a wind of 75.0 km/hour is blowing southward.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The speed of the plane relative to the ground is 300.79 km/h.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of wind = 75.0 km/hr

Speed of plane relative to the air = 310 km/hr

Suppose, determine the speed of the plane relative to the ground

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of angle

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{v'}{v}$

Where, v'=speed of wind

v= speed of plane

Put the value into the formula

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{75}{310}$

$\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{75}{310})$

$\theta=14.0^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the resultant speed

Using formula of resultant speed

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{v''}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$\cos14=\dfrac{v''}{310}$

$v''=\cos14\times310$

$v''=300.79\ km/h$

Hence, The speed of the plane relative to the ground is 300.79 km/h.

A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 n/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. a 3.5 kg box sliding across

Rina8888 [55]

k = spring constant of the spring = 85 N/m

m = mass of the box sliding towards the spring = 3.5 kg

v = speed of box just before colliding with the spring = ?

x = compression the spring = 6.5 cm = 6.5 cm (1 m /100 cm) = 0.065 m

the kinetic energy of box just before colliding with the spring converts into the spring energy of the spring when it is fully compressed.

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of spring before collision = spring energy of spring after compression

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

m v² = k x²

inserting the values

(3.5 kg) v² = (85 N/m) (0.065 m)²

v = 0.32 m/s
