A student needs to use the metric system while measuring the length of a box. Which units should he use?

2 answers:

8 0

It depends on the size of the box.

-- If it's one of the boxes printed on a sheet of graph paper,
then he should report the measurement in millimeters.

-- If it's the box that his new smartphone arrived in, then
he should probably use centimeters.

-- If it's the box that the new tractor was shipped to his
grandfather's farm in, then meters is the best unit.

A vehicle has an initial velocity of v0 when a tree falls on the roadway a distance xf in front of the vehicle. The driver has a

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

$v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t)$

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the vehicle, $v_o$

distance between the car and the tree, $x_f$

time taken to respond to the situation, $t$

acceleration of the car after braking, $a$

Using equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a.s$ ..............(1)

where:

$v=$ final velocity of the car when it hits the tree

$u=$ initial velocity of the car when the tree falls

$a=$ acceleration after the brakes are applied

$s=$ distance between the tree and the car after the brakes are applied.

$s=v_o\times t$

Now for this situation the eq. (1) becomes:

$v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t)$ (negative sign is for the deceleration after the brake is applied to the car.)

When two resistors are wired in series with a 12 V battery, the current through the battery is 0.33 A. When they are wired in pa

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Explanation:

R₁ = Resistance of first resistor

R₂ = Resistance of second resistor

V = Voltage of battery = 12 V

I = Current = 0.33 A (series)

I = Current = 1.6 A (parallel)

In series

$\text{Equivalent resistance}=R_{eq}=R_1+R_2\\\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{0.33}\\\Rightarrow R_1+R_2=36.36\\ Also\ R_1=36.36-R_2$

In parallel

$\text{Equivalent resistance}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\Rightarrow {R_{eq}=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}$

$\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}=7.5\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{36.36}=7.5\\\Rightarrow R_1R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow(36.36-R_2)R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow R_2^2-36.36R_2+272.72=0$

Solving the above quadratic equation

$\Rightarrow R_2=\frac{36.36\pm \sqrt{36.36^2-4\times 272.72}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow R_2=25.78\ or\ 10.57\\ If\ R_2=25.78\ then\ R_1=36.36-25.78=10.58\ \Omega\\ If\ R_2=10.57\ then\ R_1=36.36-10.57=25.79\Omega$

∴ If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

100-ft-long horizontal pipeline transporting benzene develops a leak 43 ft from the high-pressure end. The diameter of the leak

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass flow rate of benzene from the leak in the pipeline containing benzene is:

$Q_m=AC_o\sqrt{2\rho g_cP_g}$

Here, $Q_m$ is the mass flow rate through the leak of the pipeline. $A$ is the area of the hole, $C_o$ is the discharge rate, $\rho$ is the fluid density, $g_c$ is the gravitational constant and $P_g$ is the constant gauge pressure within the process unit.

The diametre of the leak (d) is 0.1 in. Convert from in to ft.

$d=(0.1 in)(\frac{1ft}{12in})\\=8.33\times 10^{-3}ft$

Calculate the area (A) of the hole. The area of the hole is.

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

Substitute 3.14 for $\pi$ and $8.33\times 10^{-3}ft$ for d and calculate A.

$A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}\\\\\frac{(3.14)(8.33\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}\\\\5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2$

The specific gravity of benzene is 0.8794. Specific gravity is the ratio of th density of a substance to the density of a reference substance.

Specific gravity of benzene = density of benzenee/denity of reference substance

Rewrite the expression in terms of density of benzene.

Density of benzene = specific gravity of benzene x density of reference substance

Take the reference substance as water. Density of water is $62.4\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$ . Calculate density of benzene.

Density of benzene = specific gravity of benzene x density of reference substance

$=(0.8794)(62.4\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3})\\\\54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$

Calculate the pressure at the point of leak. The pressure is the average of the pressure of the high and low pressure end. Write the expression to calculate the average pressure.

Upstream x distance from upstream pressure end

$P_g$ =+DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE X DISTANCE FROM THE DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE END/ TOTAL LENGTH OF THE HORIZONTAL PIPELINE

Calculate the distance from the downstream pressure end. The distance from upstream pressure end is 43 ft. Total of the pipe is 100 ft.

Distance from the downstream pressure end = Total length of the pipe - Distance from the upstream pressure end

The distance from upstream pressure end is 43 ft. Total length of the pipe is 100 ft. Substitute the values in the equation.

Distance from the downstream pressure end = Total length of the pipe - Distance from the upstream pressure end

= 100ft - 43ft = 57 ft

Substitute 50 psig for upstream, 43 ft fr distance from the upstream pressure end, 40 psig for downstream pressure, 57 ft for distance from the downstream pressure end, and 100 ft for the total length of the horizontal pipeline and calculate $P_g$ .

Upstream x distance from upstream pressure end

$P_g$ =+DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE X DISTANCE FROM THE DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE END/ TOTAL LENGTH OF THE HORIZONTAL PIPELINE

$=\frac{(50psig\times 43ft)+(40psig \times 57ft)}{100ft}\\\\=44.3psig$

Convert the pressure from psig to $Ib_f/ft^2$

$P_g=(44.3psig)(\frac{1\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}}{1psig})(144\frac{in^2}{ft^2})\\\\=6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}$

The leak is like a sharp orifice. Take the value of the discharge coefficient as 0.61.

Substitute $5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2$ for A. 0.61 for $C_o$ , $54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$ for $\rho$ , $32.17\frac{ft.Ib_m}{Ib_f.s^2}$ for $g_c$ , and $6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}$ for $P_g$ and calculate $Q_m$

$Q_m=AC_o\sqrt{2\rho g_cP_g}\\\\=(5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2)(0.61)\sqrt{2(54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3})(32.17\frac{ft.Ib_m}{Ib_f.s^2})(6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2})}\\\\(3.3245\times 10^{-5}ft^2)\sqrt{22,533,031.21\frac{Ib^2_m}{ft^4.s^2}}\\\\=0.158\frac{Ib_m}{s}$

The mass flow rate of benzene through the leak in the pipeline is $0.158\frac{Ib_m}{s}$

You need to determine the density of an unknown liquid and decide to perform an experiment. You notice that a wooden block float

Allushta [10]

Answer:

pu = 1260.9kg/m^3

the density of the unknown liquid is 1260.9kg/m^3

Explanation:

The density of a liquid is inversely proportional to the volume (height) of object submerged in it.

High density liquid possess higher buoyant force preventing objects from submerging.

p ∝ 1/V ∝ 1/h

since V = Ah

pu/pw = hw/hu

pu = pwhw/hu

Where;

p = density

h = height submerged

pu and pw is the density of unknown liquid and water respectively

hu and hw is the height of object submerged in unknown liquid and water respectively

pw = 1000kg/m^3

hu = 4.6cm = 0.046m

hw = 5.8cm = 0.058m

Substituting the given values;

pu = 1000×0.058/0.046

pu = 1260.9kg/m^3

the density of the unknown liquid is 1260.9kg/m^3
