One of the greatest difficulties with setting up the baby bouncer is determining the right height above the floor so that the ch

ild can push off and bounce. Knowledge of physics can be really helpful here. If the spring constant k=5.0×102N/m, the baby has a mass m=11kg, and the baby's legs reach a distance d=0.15m from the bouncer, what should be the height h of the "empty" bouncer above the floor?

Answer:36.56 cm

Explanation:

Given

Spring constant of spring $(k)=5\times 10^2 N/m$

mass of baby=11 kg

d= baby leg from bouncer to ground

At Equilibrium

mg=kx

where x= compression

$x=\frac{11\times 9.8}{500}=21.56 cm$

So we need to set bouncer height =21.56+15=36.56 cm such that during equilibrium baby legs are just on ground

Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour. What is her typing speed in words per minute?

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

60words/minute

Explanation:

If Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour, this can be expressed as;

1800 words = 30 minutes

To get her typing speed per minute, we will use the formula

Speed = Number of words/Time used

Typing speed = 1800/30

Typing speed = 60words/minute

Hence her typing speed in words per minute is 60words/minute

If the humidity in a room of volume 450 m3 at 30 ∘C is 75%, what mass of water can still evaporate from an open pan?

Yuliya22 [10]

From tables,

SVP at 30°C = 4.24 kPa

From ideal gas expressions;
n = PV/RT = (4.24*1000*450)/(8.314*303) = 757.4 moles

Now, 75% of 757.4 moles will evaporate leaving 20%. Then, 25% of 757.5 moles...
25% of 757.4 moles = 25/100*757.4 = 189.35 moles
Mass of 189.35 moles = 189.35 moles*18 g/mol = 3408.3 g ≈ 3.4 kg

The capacitors in each circuit are fully charged before the switch is closed. Rank, from longest to shortest, the length of time

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

C has the greatest capacitance and the lightest load. It will provide current to the load for the longest.

A & E are the same

B is next, and finally

D has the smallest equivalent capacitance and the heaviest load. it will run out of juice the quickest.

Curious that the pictures are out of alphabetic order A B C E D.

In a certain clock, a pendulum of length L1 has a period T1 = 0.95s. The length of the pendulum

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Ratio of length will be $\frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108$

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum when length is $L_1$ is $T_1=0.95sec$

And when length is $L_2$ time period $T_2=1sec$

We know that time period is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

So $0.95=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_1}{g}}$ ----eqn 1

And $1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_2}{g}}$ -------eqn 2

Dividing eqn 2 by eqn 1

$\frac{1}{0.95}=\sqrt{\frac{L_2}{L_1}}$

Squaring both side

$\frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108$

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 $0.158\frac{Ib_m}{s}$
