Area decreases, so speed increases (A1V1 = A2V2). Speed increase causes pressure to decrease. The change in pressure is not good for the heart
Why are deposits in the aorta bad? Explain using Bernoulli's principle.
40% from melting glaciers, 60% from expansion as ocean temperatures rise
Why are sea levels rising?
Airplane wings aren't flat in order to ensure that the air speed above the wing is greater than the speed below. This makes it so that the air pressure above the wing is less than the air pressure below, which provides a 'lift' force to keep the airplane up. (Net force in the upward direction) In order for a plane to be in level flight, lift on both wings has to support the weight of the plane, so the larger the plane, the larger the area of the wings
Why aren't airplane wings flat? How do we ensure level flight? What is the lift force?
Pressure = Force/Area Force = Area*pressure So to make the net upward force as large as possible, you want the greatest area of the wings
Why do giant planes have giant wings?
Because of the unusual behavior of water! Water at and below 4C starts to exand, so it rises to the top before it freezes. At 0, when it begins to freeze it stays on top, and ice begins to form
Why do lakes freeze from the top down?
If a car is going REALLY fast, the speed of the air above is way faster than the speed of the air below. That means that pressure below >> pressure above, so the car is in danger of flipping. Spoilers prevent the car from flipping by slowing the speed of the air above the car without having too much drag (reduce the speed above to push the car down)
Why do some cars have spoilers?
2 reasons: 1. Need to reduce speed as landing 2. Reducing speed also reduces the lift! So trying to increase the area to keep up lift while slowing down
Why do the flaps come up when an airplane is trying to land?
Convection! The sun delivers the same amount of heat per unit mass to both sand and water. But! The specific heat of sand << specific heat of water. Sand transfers heat to air above sand, either by radiation or conduction. Water transfers heat to air above water, either by radiation or conduction. The air above the water, though, won't be as hot as the air above the sand, because of the specific heat differential, so convection begins. Colder air moves towards the shore to replace hot air... feels like a breeze coming off of the water.
Why do you feel a breeze on a hot day at the beach?
Air is moving inside of the shower, so speed increase causes pressure to decrease. This causes net force from outside pushing in, which pushes the curtain towards you
Why does a shower curtain pull in when you shower?
Water is in free fall, so speeding up. If v is increasing, cross-sectional area, and therefore width, must decrease (volume per unit time can't change!) This is equation of continuity
Why does a stream of water narrow as it falls from the faucet?
Metal is actually in thermal eq. with the rest of the room (at the same temperature), as is the book, so they're likely the same temperature. Heat is transferred from your hand to the objects when you touch them. Therefore, the sensation of "coldness" is related to how fast heat is leaving your hand. Metal feels colder because energy is larger - energy is faster to leave your hand. Rate of transfer of conduction depends on the characteristics of the substance.
Why does metal feel colder to the touch than a book?
By blowing above, we create a 'lift' force. Can be explained by Bernoulli's principle: P + 1/2pv^2 + pgy = constant Because speed of air above increases, pressure above must decrease. This means that there is a net force from the pressure below pushing up!
Why does paper flip up if you blow above it?
Because it's thermal conductivity value is relatively low (see: table, it's about 0.2 vs. 238 for aluminum, e.g.)
Why does rubber make a good insulator?
Rate at which heat enters the room depends on the thickness of the walls (so heat will enter the room slowly)
Why is it nice to be in a basement with thick walls on a hot day?
Because of the unusual behavior of water! Water at and below 4C starts to exand, so it rises to the top before it freezes. Water that isn't yet frozen sinks to the bottom, and allows marine life to live.
Why is it possible for fish to live at the bottom of a lake?
Due to high specific heat of water and convection! Water of the pacific ocean releases huge amount of heat into the air above the water. Why is this different than the east coast? Well, the same heat release is happening, but west is milder because the prevailing winds push air towards the land, while on the east coast, they push air away from the land
Why is the west-coast climate more mild during the winter?
Because of static equilibrium! If pressure wasn't the same, there would be a net force, and the fluid would be in motion
Why must all points at the same depth be at the same pressure?
If you sum the thermal resistance of those layers, including the air between, you will end up with a larger R value, and therefore smaller total heat transfer (heat leaves your body slower, cold enters your body slower)
Why should you layer on a cold day?
A. the liquid water
You have 1 kg of liquid water and 1 kg of steam. If you want to increase the temperature of both of them by 10 oC, which would require more added energy? A. the liquid water B. the steam C. They both require the same amount of energy to be warmed 10 oC. D. It cannot be determined because it depends on the actual temperature of the water and steam as well as the pressure.
