How was w (weight) eliminated from this equation? how is 1/2wv^2/g equal to v^2/2g?
bernoulli’s equation
z + p/ρg + v^2/2g = constant
v2/2g term has square of velocity in numerator which hints of the kinetic energy. but as we know kinetic energy is ½ mv^2 so the third term in the bernoulli’s equation is the kinetic energy per unit weight. mass ‘m’ can be written as w/g so ½ mv^2 is equal to ½ wv^2/g or v^2/2g. it has the dimensions of nm/n or m, the kinetic energy per unit weight of fluid particle, which is also called velocity head.

You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. car a weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. car b weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 44.0 mph. the cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 22.5 ft before stopping. you have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750 . how fast (in miles per hour) was car a traveling just before the collision? (this problem uses english units because they would be used in a u.s. legal proceeding.)

Porque crees que el agua no podia subir mas de 10 m de altura con ese tipo de bomba

30 points - when can a theory be modified if a new type of technology allows for new observations that raise new questions? a. immediately, while the questions about the theory are being asked b. after new hypotheses related to the theory are tested in experiments c. only after the new observations disprove all parts of the theory d. while scientists begin to think about how the theory could improve
