query introset change in pressure from velocity change.

Explain how to get the change in fluid pressure given the change in fluid velocity, assuming constant altitude

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Bernoulli's Equation = P + (.5 * rho * v^2) + (rho* g * h)

If altitude (h) is constant then the only things that can change is P and the (.5 * rho * v^2), and these two are inversely proportional to eachother.

So I am assuming you can find the change in fluid pressure by using the fact that the P and the (.5* rho * v^2) are inversely related. So whatever (.5 * rho * v^2) equals the pressure will be equal and opposite of that.

** 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 dissapear.

(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). **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Okay, so you can use P2 - P1 = 1/2 rho (v2^2-v1^2) to see that as well.

Right. Pressure isn't equal and opposite to 1/2 rho v^2, but change in pressure is equal and opposite to change in 1/2 rho v^2. Key concept is 'change in'.

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.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I do not think there is a significant difference between the total KE in the x and y direction because the differences between the x and y directions where not all that different. The differences sort of cancelled eachother out, so their differences were not significant, they were the same in both directions.

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:01:40

** 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. This difference is not statistically significant, so we conclude that the total KE is statistically the same in bot directions. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

ok

22:04:54

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?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The red balls had a much faster velocity than the blue balls, and the blue balls were much bigger than the blue balls. I think the size of the ball had a lot to do with the effect of the impact. If the object is bigger, it takes more energy (or a harder impact) to make a difference in the change in velocity of the bigger object.

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:05:16

** Student answer with good analogy: I did not actually measure the velocities. the red were much faster. 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) **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I like the Mack Truck analogy. It really helps set the picture in my mind.

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:06:17

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The average velocity of the red ball is probably somewhere around 5ish.

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:06:28

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

I agree with that.

22:08:42

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?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I don't think that would ever happen. And if it did and you told someone it happened, they probably wouldn't believe you.

But if you think that every single particle hits another particle in a different way and it causes the hit particles to go in so many different directions the chances of them all hitting over to the left side of the screen would be soooooooooooooooooooo slim!!

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:09:12

** 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.

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Yeah...see!?!

yup

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:15:35

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I think the graphs at the right are probably a measure of the velocities. Like every time a ball gets hit by another ball a new line starts and the height of the line represents the velocity. The higher the line, the faster the velocity.

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:15:52

** One graph is a histogram showing the relative occurrences of different velocities. Highest and lowest velocities are least likely, midrange tending toward the low end most likely. Another shows the same thing but for energies rather than velocities. **

Oh, okay.

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?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I used the formula velocity = Volume / Area * time = 207 m^3 / 9 m^2 * 960 sec = 22080 m/s

To find the area I assumed the air duct was square and figured out that the diameter of the duct would be about 30 cm (2* radius = diameter). And since the duct is square then we know that the length and width are the same number, so we know that the area is length times width, which will be 30 cm * 30 cm = 900 cm^2 ( 9 m^2).

I probably did the area finding wrong, because that seems like some awfully fast air.

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:37:53

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.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I did find the area wrong. Soooooooooo, assuming the duct is round you use pi * r^2 to get the area which would .071 m^2. Other than that I understood.

prin phy and gen phy problem 10.40 gauge pressure to maintain firehose stream altitude 15 m ......!!!!!!!!...................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

It makes sense that you can find the velocity necessary to make the water go that high .

sqrt (2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (y2 - y1)) = 17 m/s

But I am not sure what to do to find the gauge pressure.

** 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. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Oh, that's right. Because they are equal and opposite to eachother if the velocity is zero at both points.

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?

** Velocity is 0 at top and bottom; pressure at top is atmospheric, and if pressure in the hose was the same the water wouldn't experience any net force and would therefore remain in the hose **

** 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. **

** 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). **

** 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. **
