Question: query introset change in pressure from velocity change.

Explain how to get the change in fluid pressure given the initial and final fluid velocities, assuming constant altitude

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution:

- SOLUTION: For constant temperature, Pressure:Vertical:Initial + (.5 * density * [(Velocity:Initial)^2]) + (density * gravity * Altitude:Initial) = Pressure:Vertical:Final + (.5 * density * [(Velocity:Final)^2]) + (density * gravity * Altitude:Final) ...

- - ... so when altitude is constant (i.e., initial = final), Pressure:Vertical:Initial + (.5 * density * [(Velocity:Initial)^2]) = Pressure:Vertical:Final + (.5 * density * [(Velocity:Final)^2]).

- - Difference in pressure = Pressure:Vertical:Final - Pressure:Vertical:Initial = (.5 * density * [(Velocity:Initial)^2]) - (.5 * density * [(Velocity:Initial)^2]) = (.5 * density * [(Velocity:Final^2) - (Velocity:Final^2)])

.............................................

Given Solution:

Bernoulli's Equation can be written

* 1/2 rho v1^2 + rho g y1 + P1 = 1/2 rho v2^2 + rho g y2 + P2

If altitude is constant then y1 = y2, so that rho g y1 is the same as rho g y2. Subtracting this quantity from both sides, these terms disappear, leaving us

* 1/2 rho v1^2 + P1 = 1/2 rho v2^2 + P2.

The difference in pressure is P2 - P1. If we subtract P1 from both sides, as well as 1/2 rho v2^2, we get

* 1/2 rho v1^2 - 1/2 rho v2^2 = P2 - P1.

Thus

* change in pressure = P2 - P1 = 1/2 rho ( v1^2 - v2^2 ).

Caution: (v1^2 - v2^2) is not the same as (v1 - v2)^2. Convince yourself of that by just picking two unequal and nonzero numbers for v1 and v2, and evaluating both sides.

ALTERNATIVE FORMULATION

Assuming constant rho, Bernoulli's Equation can be written

1/2 rho `d(v^2) + rho g `dy + `dP = 0.

If altitude is constant, then `dy = 0 so that

1/2 rho `d(v^2) + `dP = 0

so that

`dP = - 1/2 rho `d(v^2).

Caution: `d(v^2) means change in v^2, not the square of the change in v. So `d(v^2) = v2^2 - v1^2, not (v2 - v1)^2.

STUDENT SOLUTION: The equation for this situation is Bernoulli's Equation, which as you note is a modified KE+PE equation. Considering ideal conditions with no losses

(rho*gy)+(0.5*rho*v^2)+(P) = 0

g= acceleration due to gravity

y=altitude

rho=density of fluid

v=velocity

P= pressure

Constant altitude causes the first term to go to 0 and disappear.

(0.5*rho*v^2)+(P) = constant

So here is where we are:

Since the altitude h is constant, the two quantities .5 rho v^2 and P are the only things that can change. The sum 1/2 `rho v^2 + P must remain constant. Since fluid velocity v changes, it therefore follows that P must change by a quantity equal and opposite to the change in 1/2 `rho v^2.

MORE FORMAL SOLUTION:

More formally we could write

· 1/2 `rho v1^2 + P1 = 1/2 `rho v2^2 + P2

and rearrange to see that the change in pressure, P2 - P1, must be equal to the change 1/2 `rho v2^2 - 1/2 `rho v1^2 in .5 rho v^2:

· P2 - P1 = 1/2 `rho v2^2 - 1/2 `rho v1^2 = 1/2 rho (v2^2 - v1^2). **

Question: query billiard experiment

Do you think that on the average there is a significant difference between the total KE in the x direction and that in the y direction? Support your answer.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution: ???? Are we asking about the KinModel program's objects or the ""real-world"" situation that they represent? If the latter, are the x and y directions both horizontal (""bird's-eye view"") or vertical? My guess is that they'd both be horizontal because we don't see any projectile motion (even slight), but I don't know. ????

- SOLUTION: Assuming that we're asking about the model alone, there appear to be stretches of time over which KE in the x direction dominates and stretches of time over which KE in the y direction dominates. (In other words, if one samples at fairly frequent intervals, there will be large groups of consecutive readings where the x-value is greater and large groups where the y-value is greater.) These stretches appear to be approximately equal in length, such that everything would balance out over time. In other words, when one graphs absval(Value:X - Value:Y) over time and calculates its mean value when measured at consistent intervals, the difference will be present and significant, but when one graphs (Value:X - ValueY) or (Value:Y - Value:X) over time, although the value will be highly volatile, its mean will be near zero.

@&

If the total KE in one direction exceeds that in the other for equal times, it's a pretty good indication that the two means will be the same. If it's also known that the energies are normally distributed, the conclusion is certain.

I hadn't actually thought to look at that aspect of the system's behavior. I'm glad you did.

*@

- - In the real world, if the ""billiards"" represent atoms of a gas, likely a noble gas (hence ""monatomic""):

- - - If both axes are horizontal, then the answer should be the same as above because the effects of gravity are perpendicular to the viewing plane.

- - - If the y-direction is vertical instead of horizontal outward/inward, then because of the effects of gravity, there is more pressure perpendicular to motion in the horizontal direction than there is to motion in the vertical direction. If Pressure:Vertical + (.5 * density * (Velocity:Horizontal)^2) + (density * gravity * height) = Pressure:Horizontal + (5 * density * (Velocity:Horizontal)^2) + 0 (because density * gravity * height affects only vertical pressure), especially when Pressure:Vertical = Pressure:Horizontal as they are for a fluid that exerts it equally on all sides, higher pressure perpendicular to the horizontal direction of motion will make for lower velocity in the horizontal direction, leaving vertical direction higher.

- - - Re: this part, I'm not sure about the magnitude of the difference or whether it qualifies as significant.

@&

If the y direction is vertical and gravity is present, then the result will be a decrease in average velocity with increasing altitude, an accompanying decrease in pressure, as well as a decrease in density.

The effect on average velocity isn't difficult to understand. A particle which rises after a collision loses KE as its gravitational PE increases, whereas one the descends gains KE while as its gravitational PE decreases.

These effects would be insignificant at the level of this simulation, which would have dimensions of a few nanometers, but would accumulate over larger vertical distances.

confidence rating #$&*:This rating may be depressed by my questions regarding what type of scenario the model is meant to represent; I think that I got all of them individually, but for some reason the whole feels like less than the sum of its parts.)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** In almost every case the average of 30 KE readings in the x and in the y direction differs between the two directions by less than 10% of either KE. ???? Do you mean that the sum of the x-values over 30 readings and the sum of the y-values over 30 readings are less than 10% different from each other, or do you mean that over 30 readings the average of the respective readings' differences between x- and y-values will be less than 10%? ???? This difference is not statistically significant, so we conclude that the total KE is statistically the same in both directions. **

@&

If the differences are signed then the two interpretations would give the same result. If KEx and KEy are statistically equal, the standard deviation of the 30-trial means will be about equal to 1 / sqrt(30) times the individual means.

If we consider the magnitude of the percent differences then we would tend to get a result which is dictated by just the individual means.

Your Self-Critique: OK (I think that at least one of the possible interpretations that I envisioned, namely the second part of my ""model-alone"" response, captures this statement.)

*********************************************

Question: What do you think are the average velocities of the 'red' and the 'blue' particles and what do you think it is about the 'blue' particle that makes is so?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution: ???? Do you mean to include the cyan/aqua particles as ""blue,"" and if so, are you talking about the cyan ones only, the ""screen-of-death blue"" ones only, or both? ?????

- SOLUTION: ???? My system will not run the kinmodel.exe program because at some point (either Windows XP or Windows Vista) Microsoft disabled native support (is that the right term?) for MS-DOS mode; for example, the ""Restart in MS-DOS mode"" available in Win95 and Win98 and ""hackable"" in WinME is no longer available. On my Vista machine, when I try to run it, it responds with an error window reading ""This system does not support full-screen mode. Click 'Close' to terminate the application."" As a result, I have to do everything using the billiard simulation, and not everything (e.g., particle color and default settings) matches those that kinmodel.exe uses and that some of these questions assume. ????

- - Overall, the different groups of particles seem to have different average velocities that correspond roughly to 1 / sqrt(relative differences in mass). For example, the green particles, which have mass of 1 amu or 1/64 the mass of the red particle(s), have an average velocity that is about 8 times that of the average velocity of the red particles. The ""screen-of-death blue"" ones have 1/16 the red particles' mass and 4 times their average velocity, and the cyan ones have 1/4 the red particles' mass and twice their average velocity. Note that this is just an ""eyeball"" estimate crudely ""regularized"" in an effort to make some sense out of it.

@&

The average kinetic energies of all particles are expected to be the same. Since KE is proportional to v^2, your speculation that the velocity ratio is inverse to the square root of the mass ratio is completely supported.

*@

- - ???? I don't know what you mean when you ask what it is about the blue particle that makes it so. Is this question about a blue particle specific to kinmodel.exe, or is it something that at least one of the blue particles in the billiard simulation also exhibits? If the latter, which blue particle are you talking about -- some specific one, all of them, and in any event which shade(s) of blue? And when you say ""what makes it so,"" are you referring to what makes the blue particle(s) have its/their average velocity, what makes the blue particle blue, or something else? ????

@&

This question is just getting at the effect of the mass, which you've already nailed.

*@

confidence rating #$&*:rox. 2 (this is an educated but pretty much ""armchair"" guess)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** Student answer with good analogy: I did not actually measure the velocities. the red were much faster. ???? Using the Windows version [billiard_simulation_0006b.exe] and your default settings, the green ones are the fast, low-mass ones; the red ones are the slow, high-mass ones. ????? I would assume that the blue particle has much more mass a high velocity impact from the other particles made very little change in the blue particles velocity. Similar to a bycycle running into a Mack Truck.

INSTRUCTOR NOTE: : It turns out that average kinetic energies of red and blue particles are equal, but the greater mass of the blue particle implies that it needs less v to get the same KE (which is .5 mv^2) **

Your Self-Critique: 3 to the extent that I was able to find something that matches your description; indeterminate otherwise ???? When trying to remember what if anything I'd learned about Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions in previous courses, the visual similarity with Graham's Law reminded me of it, and upon looking it up, I realized that my above guess is basically a (mis)application of Graham's Law having to do with velocities in a mixture rather than effusion rates. ????

@&

The inverse-square-root property in Graham's Law is a direct result of the nature of the energy distribution.

Years ago I used yeast in a soft-drink bottle to achieve pressures of around 10 atmospheres. I put a small partially-inflated balloon into the bottle when I mixed the solution, then capped the bottle, expecting the balloon to collapse as the pressure in the bottle increases. To my surprise the balloon expanded. It took me awhile to realize that the balloon was slightly porous, so that the more dense CO_2 molecules produced by the yeast effused into the balloon more slowly than the nitrogen and oxygen molecules in the air ...

*********************************************

Question: What do you think is the most likely velocity of the 'red' particle?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution:

- SOLUTION (or explanation of why I can't reach one): Because the kinmodel.exe program doesn't work on my program, I'm answering with respect to the billiard_simulation_0006b.exe program, in which the red particle is the slow and heavy one rather than the lighter and faster one as your Instructor Solution in the above Question appears to suggest. See above Solution re: my estimates of the particles' relative velocities.

confidence rating #$&*:tly indeterminate; 2.5 to 2.75 range for the rest

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** If you watch the velocity display you will see that the red particles seem to average somewhere around 4 or 5 **

Your Self-Critique: Indeterminate: ???? The billiard_simulation_0006b.exe program does not have a velocity display. ????

Your Self-Critique Rating: Indeterminate

*********************************************

Question: If the simulation had 100 particles, how long do you think you would have to watch the simulation before a screen with all the particles on the left-hand side of the screen would occur?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution: ???? Again, I'm answering with respect to the billiard_simulation_0006b.exe program and its default settings. ????

- SOLUTION: There's a slight chance that I would see such a screen before the Sun swells up into a red giant and burns the computer to a crisp. In other words, pretty [expletive] long. If the left-hand side of the screen is about 15 ""billiards"" wide and the screen is square, then the left-hand side of the screen is big enough for only 2(15*15) = 450 billiards anyway, so it will be incredibly rare that all of them make it over there without bumping into each other and sending at least one back to the right side of the screen.

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** STUDENT ANSWER: Considering the random motion at various angles of impact.It would likely be a very rare event.

INSTRUCTOR COMMENT

This question requires a little fundamental probability but isn't too difficult to understand:

If particle position is regarded as random the probability of a particle being on one given side of the screen is 1/2. The probability of 2 particles both being on a given side is 1/2 * 1/2. For 3 particles the probability is 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8. For 100 particlles the probability is 1 / 2^100, meaning that you would expect to see this phenomenon once in 2^100 screens. If you saw 10 screens per second this would take about 4 * 10^21 years, or just about a trillion times the age of the Earth. ????? Doesn't this estimate assume that each 50/50 probability re: a given particle is independent of all the others, i.e., that the particles neither gravitationally attract each other (negligible here) nor get in each other's way (nonnegligible here). Because the billiards can get in each other's way (they make contact at their edges, not their centers), the presence of a billiard on the left side of the screen reduces by a nonzero factor the chances of the next billiard making it over there. Therefore, I think that the odds would be even less than this. ?????

In practical terms, then, you just wouldn't expect to see it, ever. **

Your Self-Critique: OK/3 (it didn't occur to me to do a formal probabilistic analysis, but I did go beyond the given solution [I think] by considering an additional factor that's important at least in this model, so we'll call it a wash or close.)

Your Self-Critique Rating: OK

The given analysis doesn't take account of the volume occupied by the particles, but the overall conclusion still holds..

Question: What do you think the graphs at the right of the screen might represent?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution: ???? These graphs are not present in the display for the the billiard-model program. ????

- SOLUTION (or, rather, explanation of lack thereof): [Unable to answer due to incompatibility of kinmodel program with system]

- - When looking up Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions I found the following graph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MaxwellBoltzmann-en.svg / http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/MaxwellBoltzmann-en.svg. Would it look something like this?

Question: prin phy and gen phy problem 10.36 15 cm radius duct replentishes air in 9.2 m x 5.0 m x 4.5 m room every 16 minutes; how fast is air flowing in the duct?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution: ???? I get the point of this question in terms of calculating volume flow, but isn't the premise of this problem a bit off, at least with respect to ducts of the usual design? Wouldn't the duct replace X%:X<100 of the air in a given time interval, such that the amount of the original air would decrease in an inverse-exponential (cf. half-life) way? ????

- SOLUTION: Assuming that the duct does somehow completely replenish the air, air speed through duct = approx. 3.05 meters per second (see calculations below):

- - Volume of air = 207 cubic meters; cross-sectional area of radius duct = approx. 0.0707 square meters; cylinder of this cross-sectional area will have length/height of approx. 2928.45 m; this length in 16 minutes (= 960 seconds) = approx. 3.05 meters per second.

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

The volume of the room is 9.2 m * 5.0 m * 4.5 m = 210 m^3.

This air is replentished every 16 minutes, or at a rate of 210 m^3 / (16 min * 60 sec/min) = 210 m^3 / (960 sec) = .22 m^3 / second.

The cross-sectional area of the duct is pi r^2 = pi * (.15 m)^2 = .071 m^2.

The speed of the air flow and the velocity of the air flow are related by

rate of volume flow = cross-sectional area * speed of flow, so

speed of flow = rate of volume flow / cross-sectional area = .22 m^3 / s / (.071 m^2) = 3.1 m/s, approx.

Question: prin phy and gen phy problem 10.40 What gauge pressure is necessary to maintain a firehose stream at an altitude of 15 m?

`.......................................

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution:

- SOLUTION: Pressure differential = +147,000 Pa, i.e., approx. 1.47 ""bars"" or just over 1.45 ""standard atmospheres"" in excess of atmospheric pressure

- - Gauge pressure = difference in pressure between ""cis"" (hose) and ""trans"" (air) sides of nozzle = pressure in excess of atmospheric pressure

- - Pressure = fluid density * gravity * fluid column height = 1000 (kg [m^-3]) * 9.8 (m [s^-2]) * 15 m = 147,000 Pa

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** We use Bernoulli's equation. Between the water in the hose before it narrows to the nozzle and the 15m altitude there is a vertical change in position of 15 m.

Between the water in the hose before it narrows to the nozzle and the 15 m altitude there is a vertical change in position of 15 m.

Assuming the water doesn't move all that fast before the nozzle narrows the flow, and noting that the water at the top of the stream has finally stopped moving for an instant before falling back down, we see that we know the two vertical positions and the velocities (both zero, or very nearly so) at the two points.

All that is left is to calculate the pressure difference. The pressure of the water after its exit is simply atmospheric pressure, so it is fairly straightforward to calculate the pressure inside the hose using Bernoulli's equation.

Assuming negligible velocity inside the hose we have

change in rho g h from inside the hose to 15 m height: `d(rho g h) = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 15 m = 147,000 N / m^2, approx.

Noting that the velocity term .5 `rho v^2 is zero at both points, the change in pressure is `dP = - `d(rho g h) = -147,000 N/m^2.

Since the pressure at the 15 m height is atmospheric, the pressure inside the hose must be 147,000 N/m^2 higher than atmospheric. **

Your Self-Critique: OK/3 (I used only Pascal's simpler equation re: density * gravity * height, in part because the absence of other data didn't prompt me to think of Bernoulli's full equation, but in context it was good enough, and in any event this simplified version of the equation is the one that I used in the lab experiments re: raising water and measuring atmospheric pressure.)

Either is applicable here.

Question: Gen phy: Assuming that the water in the hose is moving much more slowly than the exiting water, so that the water in the hose is essentially moving at 0 velocity, what quantity is constant between the inside of the hose and the top of the stream? what term therefore cancels out of Bernoulli's equation?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution:

- SOLUTION: The middle term of Bernoulli's equation (.5 * density * [velocity^2]) cancels out because both its initial and its final values are 0. (Disclosure: This answer is mentioned, although phrased a bit differently, in the instructor's explanation to the Given Solution of the previous Problem, so I can't stake all that much claim to its originality.)

Question: query gen phy problem 10.43 net force on 240m^2 roof from 35 m/s wind.

What is the net force on the roof?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution:

- SOLUTION: If ""net force"" in this problem = net effect of wind alone, then net force = 191,100 N; if ""net force"" means force from wind - force due to atmospheric pressure, then treating upward direction as positive (such that atmospheric pressure = -101,325 Pa) and assuming height of flowing air mass to be negligible:

- - Assuming net pressure to involve offsetting of atmospheric pressure, net pressure = (.5 * air density * velocity^2) + [-](atmospheric pressure) = .5 * (1.3 kg [m^-3]) * ([35 m/s]^2) - 101,325 Pa = 796.25 Pa - ' ' ' = -100,528.75 Pa

- - - Therefore, force = pressure * area = (796.25 Pa * 240 [m^2]) - (100,528.75 Pa * 240 [m^2]) = 191,100 N - 24,126,900 N = -23,935,800 N

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** air with density around 1.29 kg/m^3 moves with one velocity above the roof and essentially of 0 velocity below the roof. Thus there is a difference between the two sides of Bernoulli's equation in the quantity 1/2 `rho v^2. At the density of air `rho g h isn't going to amount to anything significant between the inside and outside of the roof. So the difference in pressure is equal and opposite to the change in 1/2 `rho v^2.

On one side v = 0, on the other v = 35 m/s, so the difference in .5 rho v^2 from inside to out is

`d(.5 rho v^2) = 0.5(1.29kg/m^3)*(35m/s)^2 - 0 = 790 N/m^2.

The difference in the altitude term is, as mentioned above, negligible so the difference in pressure from inside to out is

`dP = - `d(.5 rho v^2) = -790 N/m^2.

The associated force is 790 N/m^2 * 240 m^2 = 190,000 N, approx. **

Question: gen phy which term 'cancels out' of Bernoulli's equation and why?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution: There may actually be two terms that ""cancel out"" of the equation: In any event, because the airstream is of negligible thickness, the ""density * gravity * height"" term cancels out; moreover, assuming from the previous Given Solution that net force does *not* include accounting for ambient vertical (atmospheric) pressure, there are actually two terms that ""cancel out"" of Bernoulli's equation here: Because ambient vertical pressure (here, atmospheric pressure) is the same before and after the wind blows, ambient vertical pressure (generally notated as the first term with symbol ""P-sub-0"" [Pinitial] or ""P-sub-1"" [Pfinal]) cancels out of the equation.

Given Solution:

** The tension in the rope supporting the crown in water is T = f w.

Tension and buoyant force are equal and opposite to the force of gravity so

T + dw * vol = w or f * dg * vol + dw * vol = dg * vol.

Dividing through by vol we have

f * dg + dw = dg, which we solve for dg to obtain

dg = dw / (1 - f).

Relative density is density as a proportion of density of water, so

relative density is 1 / (1-f).

For gold relative density is 19.3 so we have

1 / (1-f) = 19.3, which we solve for f to obtain

f = 18.3 / 19.3.

The weight of the 12.9 N gold crown in water will thus be

T = f w = 18.3 / 19.3 * 12.9 N = 12.2 N.

STUDENT SOLUTION:

After drawing a free body diagram we can see that these equations are true:

Sum of Fy =m*ay ,

T+B-w=0,

T=fw,

B=(density of water)(Volume of crown)(gravity).

Then

fw+(density of water)(Volume of crown)(gravity)-w=0.

(1-f)w=(density of water)(Volume of crown)(gravity).

Use

w==(density of crown)(Volume of crown)(gravity).

(1-f)(density of crown)(Volume of crown)(gravity) =(density of water)(Volume of crown)(gravity).

Thus, (density of crown)/(density of water)=1/(1-f). **

Given Solution:

** GOOD STUDENT ANSWER: f-> 0 gives (density of crown)/(density of water) = 1 and T=0. If the density of the crown equals the density of the water, the crown just floats, fully submerged, and the tension should be zero. When f-> 1, density of crown >> density of water and T=w. If density of crown >> density of water then B is negligible relative to the weight w of the crown and T should equal w. **"
