River Pascal with a volume flow rate of 5.0 x105 L/s joins with River Archimedes, whichcarries...
Estimate the volume flow rate (in units of m'/s) of the air that fills your lungs as you take a deep breath. volume flow rate: 1 x 10 m3/s
The Huka Falls on the Waikato River is one of New Zealand’s most visited natural tourist attractions. On average, the river has a flow rate of about 200,000 L/s. (a) In the canyon upstream of the falls, the river narrows to 15 m wide and is about 1 m deep. What is the average speed of the river in the canyon? Could an olympic swimmer manage to fight the current? (b) Downstream of the falls, it widens to 65 m...
A 0.20-km wide river has a uniform flow speed of 4.054 m/s toward the east. A boat with a speed of 80 m/s relative to the water leaves the south bank and heads in such a way that it crosses to a point directly north of its departure point. How long does it take the boat to cross the river? 29s 23s 25s 27s 17s
A 260 -m-wide river has a uniform flow speed of 1.5 m/s through a jungle and toward the east. An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 3.6 m/s with respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north bank 66 m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (a) At what angle, measured relative...
A 210 -m-wide river has a uniform flow speed of 0.72 m/s through a jungle and toward the east. An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 6.0 m/s with respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north bank 71 m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (a) At what angle, measured relative...
A 130 -m-wide river has a uniform flow speed of 1.1 m/s through a jungle and toward the east. An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 3.1 m/s with respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north bank 42 m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (a) At what angle, measured relative...
A 330-m-wide river has a uniform flow speed of 1.1 m/s through a jungle and toward the east. An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 7.1 m/s with respect to the water. There isa clearing on the north bank 45 m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (a) At what angle, measured relative to the...
A 380-m-wide river has a uniform flow speed of 0.59 m/s through a jungle and toward the east.An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of 3.4 m/s with respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north bank 28 m upstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (a) At what angle, measured relative to the...

5. A river with 20 ppm of a non-conservative (reactive) substance and an upstream flow of 25 m/s receives an agricultural discharge of 5 m/s carrying 2000 ppm of the same reactive substance. The chemical in the agricultural stream mix instantaneously with the main river flow. The reactive substance has a first-order decay rate of 0.25/day and the river has a cross sectional area of 20 mperpendicular to the direction of flow. A municipality located 40 km downstream of the...
