Question
Air is pushed steadily through a forced-air furnace pipe at a steady speed of 4.0 m/s. The pipe measures 56 cm by 22 cm. How fast will air move through a narrower portion of the pipe that is also rectangular and measures 32 cm by 22 cm?

- A 0.458 kg metal cylinder is placed inside the top of a plastic tube, the lower end of which is sealed off by an adjustable plunger. The cylinder comes to rest some distance above the plunger. The plastic tube has an inner radius of 6.56 mm and is frictionless. Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 1.59, what is the initial acceleration a of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atm and that the top of the tube is open to the air. a = m/s?arrow_forwardPrairie dogs are burrowing rodents. They do not suffocate in their burrows, because the effect of air speed on pressure creates sufficient air circulation. The animals maintain a difference in the shapes of two entrances to the burrow, and because of this difference, the air (ρ = 1.29 kg/m3) blows past the openings at different speeds, as the drawing indicates. Assuming that the openings are at the same vertical level, find the difference in air pressure between the openings.arrow_forwardA garden hose with an internal diameter of 3.5 cm is connected to a (stationary) lawn sprinkler that consists merely of a container with 27 holes, each 0.27 cm in diameter.

The animals maintain a difference in the shapes of two entrances to the burrow, and because of this difference, the air blows past the openings at different speeds, as the drawing indicates.

Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 2.31, what is the initial acceleration ? of the metal cylinder?

One end of the snorkel attaches to the snorkeler's mouth while the other end protrudes above the water's surface. Unfortunately, snorkels cannot support breathing to any great depth: it is said that a typical snorkeler below a water depth of only about 30 cm cannot draw a breath through a snorkel. Part A Based on this claim, what is the approximate fractional change in a typical person's lung volume when drawing a breath? Assume, in equilibrium, the air pressure in a snorkeler's lungs matches that of the surrounding water pressure. Express your answer using two significant figures.
