Given Solution: 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). ** Your Self-Critique: Okay. Your Self-Critique Rating: 3 ********************************************* 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. ********************************************* Your Solution: No, the affect gravity is very small on particles and they are moving very fast randomly bouncing off walls and colliding with other particles. This affect causes there to be no real significant difference between KE in the x or the y direction. Confidence Rating: 3
.............................................
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. This difference is not statistically significant, so we conclude that the total KE is statistically the same in bot directions. ** Your Self-Critique: Okay. Your Self-Critique Rating: 3 ********************************************* 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? ********************************************* Your Solution: The average velocity of the red particle of the red particle is about 4 or 5 and the blue particle has an average velocity of about 1 or 2. I think this is so because the blue particle has a larger mass. Confidence Rating: 3
.............................................
Given Solution: ** 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) ** Your Self-Critique: Okay Your Self-Critique Rating: 3 ********************************************* Question: What do you think is the most likely velocity of the 'red' particle? ********************************************* Your Solution: From looking I would estimate it is about 4 to5. Confidence Rating:
.............................................
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: Okay Your Self-Critique Rating: 3 ********************************************* 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? ********************************************* Your Solution: It theoretically could happen, but it is statistically impossible. I would probably have to watch for thousands of years. 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. In practical terms, then, you just wouldn't expect to see it, ever. ** Your Self-Critique: Okay Your Self-Critique Rating: 3 ********************************************* Question: What do you think the graphs at the right of the screen might represent? ********************************************* Your Solution: It appears to be a graph showing the number of balls at different velocities. Confidence Rating:3
.............................................
Given Solution: ** 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. ** Your Self-Critique: Okay.

Confidence Rating: 3
.............................................
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.

Confidence Rating: 3
.............................................
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: Okay. Your Self-Critique Rating: ********************************************* 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? ********************************************* Your Solution: I am not in that class. Confidence Rating: 3
.............................................
Given Solution: ** 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 ** Your Self-Critique: Okay. Your Self-Critique Rating: 3 ********************************************* 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? ********************************************* Your Solution: I am not in that class. Confidence Rating: 3
.............................................
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. ** Your Self-Critique: Okay Your Self-Critique Rating: 3 ********************************************* Question: gen phy which term cancels out of Bernoulli's equation and why? ********************************************* Your Solution: I am not in that class. Confidence Rating: 3
.............................................
Given Solution: ** because of the small density of air and the small change in y, `rho g y exhibits practically no change. ** Your Self-Critique: Okay. Your Self-Critique Rating: 3 ********************************************* Question: univ phy problem 14.67: prove that if weight in water if f w then density of gold is 1 / (1-f). Meaning as f -> 0, 1, infinity. Weight of gold in water if 12.9 N in air. What if nearly all lead and 12.9 N in air? ********************************************* Your Solution: Part A) We know that T+B=W. We also know that T=fW and B=RHOwater*Volume. fW+RHOwater*volume=W Divide by volume. fRHOcrown+RHOwater=RHOcrown. We then solve for RHOcrown know that RHOwater is1. Rho=1/(1-f) If f is zero, it has the same density as water and should float. If f is 1, the crown has infinite density and would be a blackhole, not something anyone would want to wear on their heads.
.............................................
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). ** Your Self-Critique: Okay. Your Self-Critique Rating: 3 ********************************************* Question: univ phy What are the meanings of the limits as f approaches 0 and 1? ********************************************* Your Solution: As f approaches 0, the crown floats because the crown then has the same density as the water. If f approaches 1, the density of the crown goes to infinity, which is the density of a black hole. That crown would not be something anyone would want to wear. Confidence Rating: 3
.............................................
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. ** "
