A person who weighs 625 N is riding a 98-N mountain bike. Suppose that the entire weight of the rider and bike is supported equa

lly by the two tires. If the pressure in each tire is 7.60 x 10^5 Pa, what is the area of contact between each tire and the ground?

Answer:

A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Explanation:

given,

weight of the person = 625 N

weight of the bike = 98 N

Pressure on each Tyre = 7.60 x 10⁵ Pa

Area of contact on each Tyre = ?

total weight of the system = 625 + 98

= 723 N

Let F be the force on both the Tyre

F + F = W

2 F = 723

F = 361.5 N

F = P A

$A = \dfrac{F}{P}$

$A = \dfrac{361.5}{7.60 \times 10^5}$

A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

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

Suppose 1 kg of Hydrogen is converted into Helium. a) What is the mass of the He produced? b) How much energy is released in thi

morpeh [17]

Answer:

a) m = 993 g

b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

Explanation:

atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794

4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176

we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602

difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158

fraction of mass lost = $\dfrac{0.029158}{4.03176}$ = 0.00723

loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23

a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)

b) energy released in the process

E = m c²

E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²

E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

Lilli suggests that they explore the simulation starting with varying only a single parameter in order to understand the role of

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

One of the ways to address this issue is through the options given by the statement. The concepts related to the continuity equation and the Bernoulli equation.

Through these two equations it is possible to observe the behavior of the fluid, specifically the velocity at a constant height.

By definition the equation of continuity is,

$A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

In the problem $A_2$ is $2A_1$ , then

$A_1V_1=2A_1V_2$

$V_2 = \frac{V_1}{2}$

<em>Here we can conclude that by means of the continuity when increasing the Area, a decrease will be obtained - in the diminished times in the area - in the speed.</em>

For the particular case of Bernoulli we have to

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_1^2 = P_2 +\frac{1}{2}\rho V_2^2$

$P_2-P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2-V_2^2)$

For the previous definition we can now replace,

$P_2-P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2-(\frac{V_1}{2})^2)$

$\Delta P = \frac{3}{8} \rho V_1^2$

<em>Expressed from Bernoulli's equation we can identify that the greater the change that exists in pressure, fluid velocity will tend to decrease</em>

The correct answer is B: "If we increase A2 then by the continuity equation the speed of the fluid should decrease. Bernoulli's equation then shows that if the velocity of the fluid decreases (at constant height conditions) then the pressure of the fluid should increase"
