Chapter 1: Q4-33DQ (page 123)

If your hands are wet and no towel is handy, you can remove some of the excess water by shaking them. Why does this work?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Water gets removed from hands when shaken due to inertia of rest.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Water can be removed from hands by shaking them.

02

Inertia of rest

A body in rest tends to be in rest unless an external force act on it.

03

Step 3:Reason for water dropping from hands on shaking

When hands shook, they start moving suddenly. The water on the hands don't start moving immediately due to inertia of rest. Hence the water falls off.

A physics professor leaves her house and walks along the sidewalk toward campus. After 5 min, it starts to rain, and she returns home. Her distance from her house as a function of time is shown in Fig. E2.10 At which of the labeled points is her velocity (a) zero? (b) constant and positive? (c) constant and negative? (d) increasing in magnitude? (e) decreasing in magnitude?

While driving in an exotic foreign land, you see a speed limit sign that reads 180,000 furlongs per fortnight. How many miles per hour is this? (One furlong is 1/8 mile, and a fortnight is 14 days. A furlong originally referred to the length of a plowed furrow.)

A swimming pool is 5.0 m long, 4.0 m wide, and 3.0 m deep. Compute the force exerted by the water against (a) the bottom and (b) either end. (Hint: Calculate the force on a thin, horizontal strip at a depth h, and integrate this over the end of the pool.) Do not include the force due to air pressure.

Given two vectorsA鈫�=鈭�2.00i^+3.00j^+4.00k^andB鈫�=3.00i^+1.00j^鈭�3.00k^, (a) find the magnitude of each vector; (b) use unit vectors to write an expression for the vector differenceA鈫�鈭�B鈫�; and (c) find the magnitude of the vector differenceA鈫�鈭�B鈫�. Is this the same as the magnitude ofB鈫�鈭�A鈫�? Explain.

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli鈥檚 equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.
