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 -->

Using the change in the pressure you can find the change in the velocity by using the equation:

A1*v1=A2*v2

pluging in the original pressure and the new pressure into the equation and then change v1 to the original velocity. Solve for v2.

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

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

** 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). **

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 -->

the really isn't that big of a differance, only about 40 by my calculations. I had 550.76 for my KEx and KEy was 511.37. The differance is there but they get closer with the more time passes.

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

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

17:43:53

** 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. **

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

RESPONSE -->

I didn't go into percentages but that goes with my information I collected.

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

17:47:26

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 average velocity of the red particle is about 4.5 or so. The blu particle is usually around 2. I think that the blue particle has a heaver mass and larger radius.

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

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

17:48:15

** 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 got the part about the ble being heavier. I also noted that the red was faster.

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

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

17:49:15

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

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

RESPONSE -->

i think it is twice that of the blue and as I stated before, it was traveling around 4cm/s when in hta fast mode.

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

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

17:49:52

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

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

RESPONSE -->

That is what I also got as the answer using the velocity on the screen.

17:51:36

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 think it would be quite awhile with the sporatic movement.

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

17:52:16

** 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. **

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

That was my thinking though I didn't go into calculations

17:53:17

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

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

RESPONSE -->

i believe is is a graph of how many times in the 149 seconds that the particle collided with another.

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

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

17:54:04

** 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. **

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

RESPONSE -->

I can see that now, after running it again but I would never had thought about that.

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 -->

9.2*5.0*4.5=207m

16min*60seconds=960 seconds

area of duct= pi*r^2=pi*.15m^2=.071m^2

velocity=207mm/960s=.216 m/s

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

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

09:19:59

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 see how to find the speed. I was a little lost in what to do after but I understand now.

** 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 -->

sqrt(2*9.8m/s^2*15m)=17.15m/s

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

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

09:54:34

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?

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

RESPONSE -->

P1+.5*rho*v1^2+rho*g*h1=P2+.5*rho*v2^2+rho*g*h2

The amount of pressure remains the same. That would cancel P1 and P2.

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

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

09:56:18

** 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 **

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

RESPONSE -->

I understand that now. That means that the height doesn't change because the water in the hose is moving at 0 and the water removing is higher.

** 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.
