A fluid is flowing through a rubber hose.

If you squeeze the hose in one place to half its original diameter,what happens to the speed of the fluid at that place?
V new/ V old = ?

What would you have to do to the hose's cross-sectional area tomake the fluid's speed five times slower than at the rest of thehose?
A new/ A old = ?

What would you have to do to the diameter of the hose to make thefluid's speed five times faster than at the rest of the hose?
d new/ d old = ?

A space habitat for a long space voyage consists of two cabins eachconnected by a cable to a central hub as shown in the figure below.The cabins are set spinning around the hub axis, which is connectedto the rest of the spacecraft to generate artificial gravity.
(a) What forces are acting on an astronaut in one of thecabins?

(b) Write Newton's second law for an astronaut lying on the "floor"of one of the habitats, relating the astronaut's mass m, hisvelocity v, his radial distance from the hub r, and the normalforce n. (Use any variable or symbol stated above asnecessary.)

(c) What would n have to equal if the 49.4-kg astronaut is toexperience half his normal Earth weight?

(d) Calculate the necessary tangential speed of the habitat fromNewton's second law.
tangential speed=?

(e) Calculate the angular speed from the tangential speed.

(f) Calculate the period of rotation from the angular speed.

(g) If the astronaut stands up, will his head be moving faster,slower, or at the same speed as his feet? Why?


(i) Calculate the tangential speed at the top of his head if he is2.08 m tall.

The dominant form of drag experienced by vehicles (bikes, cars, planes, etc.) at operating speeds is called form drag. It increases quadratically with velocity (essentially because the amount of air you run into increases with v and so does the amount of force you must exert on each small volume of air). Thus Ā ,where A is the cross-sectional area of the vehicle and Cd is called the coefficient of drag.

Consider a vehicle moving with constant velocity
a)Find the power dissipated by form drag.

Ā 

b) A certain car has an engine that provides a maximum power P0. Suppose that the maximum speed of the car, v0, is limited by a drag force proportional to the square of the speed (as in the previous part). The car engine is now modified, so that the new power P1 is 10 percent greater than the original power (P1=110%P0).

Assume the following:

The top speed is limited by air drag.
The magnitude of the force of air drag at these speeds is proportional to the square of the speed.

By what percentage, (v1āˆ’v0)/v0, is the top speed of the car increased?

On planet X, you drop a 25.0 kg stone from rest and measure itsspeed at various times. Then you use the data you obtained toconstruct a graph of its speed v as a function of time t. (Thegraph shows a velocity of 15m/s at time 1s and 30 m/s at time2s)
a) What is g on Planet X
b) An astronaut drops a piece of equipment from rest out of thelanding module, 8.5 m above the surface of Planet X. How long willit take this equipment to reach the ground?
c) How fast will this equipment be moving when it reaches theground?
d) How fast would an astronaut have to project an object straightupward to reach a height of 25.4 m ?
How long would it take the object to reach a height of 15 m? For anobject thrown upward there are two times it would be at any height.Give the going up answer and the going down answer.
