As a summer intern assigned to the Olympics Kayaking committee, you need to determine the speed of water flowing through a rapids section of the river in order to classify the rapids. For the purposes of your calculation, you assume the river has a rectangular cross section. You determine that for the region of interest, the river narrows from a width of 14 m to a width of 5.0 m and the depth of the river decreases from 2.0 m to 0.76 m. You also know that the speed of the river before the rapids is 2.7 m/s. Determine the speed of the river through the section of rapids.

Ogle–2013–blg–0723 is an exoplanet that is similar to earth in size and proximity to its star. this exoplanet has mass m=4.18×1024kg and radius r=5.66×106m. an astronaut whose weight on earth is w=735n lands on the planet. a. calculate m, the mass of the astronaut. b. calculate gp? , the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of ogle–2013–blg–0723. c. calculate wp? , the weight of the astronaut on the surface of ogle–2013–blg–0723. d. calculate v, the minimum velocity required to put an object into orbit above ogle–2013–blg–0723. e. calculate t, the time required to complete an orbit around ogle–2013–blg–0723.

We want to calculate the total metabolic heat generated by a singing canary taking into account heat transfer by radiation, convection and exhaling air. the air temperature is 20 oc, canary’s body internal and surface temperature is 33oc, external body surface convective heat transfer coefficient is 25.2 w/m2 .k, temperature difference between the inhaled and exhaled air is 4.3 oc, the ventilation rate is 0.74 cc of air per second, specific heat of air is 1.0066 kj/kg.k and density of air is 1.16 kg/m3 . assume the canary’s body to be a cylinder with 7 cm diameter and 9 cm length, and heat exchange is from the side as well as the top and bottom of cylinder. calculate 1) the net rate of heat lost by radiation, assuming heat gained by the bird through radiation from the surroundings is 11.5 w; 2) rate of heat transferred by convection to the surrounding air; 3) rate of heat transferred in the exhaling air without considering any internal evaporation; 4) total metabolic power.

Science and technology are interdependent. advances in one lead to advances in the other. give an example of this phenomenon.
