During a hailstorm, hailstones with an average mass of 2g and a speed of 15 m/s strike a window pane at a 45o angle. The area of the window is 0.5 m2 and the hailstones hit it at a rate of 30 per second. What average pressure do they exert on the window? How does this compare to the pressure of the atmosphere?


Short Answer

Expert verified

Pressure exerted on the window is 2.54 N/m2.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Average mass of hail = 2g

speed of 15 m/s

Angle of fall = 45o

Area of the window = 0.5 m2 a

Rate of hail strike = 30 per second.

02

Explanation

From the pressure force relationship we can calculate average force on window by

Fx=Pxt.....................................(1)

Change in momentum can be defined as

螖Px = m螖Vx

So we get

role="math" localid="1650443757487" Fx=mvxt..............................(2)

We can calculate average pressure as

role="math" localid="1650443764918" P=FxA.................................(3)

As the hail strikes at an angle of 45o. So we have to find the horizontal component as it will only add to pressure

vx=vcos-(-vcos)=2vcos

Substitute the given values, we get

vx=2(15m/s)cos45vx=(30m/s)12vx=21.21m/s

Now calculate force by substituting values in equation (2)

Fx=(30210-3kg)(21.21m/s)1sFx=1.27N

Now calculate average pressure by substituting values in equation(3)

P=1.27N0.5m2P=2.54Nm-2

The value of atm pressure is 101325 N/m2

The pressure on the window is much less than that of atm. pressure.

Calculate the heat capacity of liquid water per molecule, in terms of K . Suppose (incorrectly) that all the thermal energy of water is stored in quadratic degrees of freedom. How many degrees of freedom would each molecule have to have?

The Rankine temperature scale(abbreviated R) uses the same scale size degrees as Fahrenheit, but measured up from absolute zero like Kelvin(so Rankine is to Fahrenheit as Kelvin is to Celsius). Find the conversion formula between Rankine and Fahrenheit and also between Rankine and Kelvin. What is the room temperature on the Rankine scale?

Estimate how long it should take to bring a cup of water to boiling temperature in a typical 600 -watt microwave oven, assuming that all the energy ends up in the water. (Assume any reasonable initial temperature for the water.) Explain why no heat is involved in this process.

If you poke a hole in a container full of gas, the gas will start leaking out. In this problem, you will make a rough estimate of the rate at which gas escapes through a hole. (This process is called effusion, at least when the hole is sufficiently small.)

  1. Consider a small portion (area = A) of the inside wall of a container full of gas. Show that the number of molecules colliding with this surface in a time interval tis role="math" localid="1651729685802" PAt/(2mvx), where width="12" height="19" role="math">Pis the pressure, is the average molecular mass, and vxis the average xvelocity of those molecules that collide with the wall.
  2. It's not easy to calculate vx, but a good enough approximation is (vx2)1/2, where the bar now represents an average overall molecule in the gas. Show that (vx2)1/2=kT/m.
  3. If we now take away this small part of the wall of the container, the molecules that would have collided with it will instead escape through the hole. Assuming that nothing enters through the hole, show that the number Nof molecules inside the container as a function of time is governed by the differential equation
    dNdt=A2VkTmN
    Solve this equation (assuming constant temperature) to obtain a formula of the form N(t)=N(0)et/r, where ris the 鈥渃haracteristic time鈥 for N(and P) to drop by a factor of e.
  4. Calculate the characteristic time for gas to escape from a 1-liter container punctured by a 1-mm2? hole.
  5. Your bicycle tire has a slow leak so that it goes flat within about an hour after being inflated. Roughly how big is the hole? (Use any reasonable estimate for the volume of the tire.)
  6. In Jules Verne鈥檚 Around the Moon, the space travelers dispose of a dog's corpse by quickly opening a window, tossing it out, and closing the window. Do you think they can do this quickly enough to prevent a significant amount of air from escaping? Justify your answer with some rough estimates and calculations.

In a Diesel engine, atmospheric air is quickly compressed to about 1/20 of its original volume. Estimate the temperature of the air after compression, and explain why a Diesel engine does not require spark plugs.
