Physics 2 - Advanced Practice exam 2008

Hey guys,

I am currently studying for my physics 2 exam and want to post up the exam and my answers and see whether you guys agree or disagree with them, since I cannot find solutions to it.

Anyway q1:

a) D

b) C

c) If bernoulli's equation states:



Then if I let point 1 be at the surface of the lake (i.e. 60m above C) and point 2 be at C, then this will mean p1 = p2, so I can cancel these out:



I can set h2 = 0 => h1 = 60m =>



By continuity:



so if A1 >> A2 => v2 >> v1 =>

=>

EDIT ERROR (v2 = vc = 24.25m/s), vc = 34.3m/s

By continuity:



=>

EDIT ERROR vB = 0.43m/s, vB = 0.61m/s

d) Pick point A and point B

bernoulli's equation states:



again let:

- vA = 0
- hB = 0
- pA = 1 atm = 101,325 Pa



pB = 689,139 Pa

pB(Gauge) = 587,814 Pa

e)

R = 2.694m3 /s => R = 2.694 L/s

f) Since I am considering the bottom to be at C, I can assume all mechanical energy is kinetic energy.



EDIT: After reviewing my answer to C all my answers matched up to the exam's answers

The answers should be up on the LMS...

Either:

Communities > First-Year Physics > Exam resources

Or

Subjects > 640172_2009_2: Physics 2: Life Sciences & Environment > Assessment information

Do u know if we need to learn about inductors? I've heard they won't be on the exam but they're in past exams :/

I don't know. I think they may be on our exam, it may be different for you.

Q2)

a) I'm finding this question really difficult. Now I know that the pressure from the water must equal the pressure of the air but I can't think of an expression for the air.

So by knowing that the density of air is 1.23kg/m3 I worked out the mass of air, which must be conserved so obviously the density of the air must increase as the volume is going to decrease.

So I know that:

Have you tried. pV=nRT.

the value of pV for the air in cylinder when d=0 is equal to the value of the cylinder when d=20 (I have assumed temperature stays constant). This means that

and can be calculated since you know the depth.

I don't know, I'm a complete noob at physics so correct me if I'm wrong :( But I think I should start studying for it to and give this most likely last experience with the subject a nice fairwell :P

Edit: If the temperature's were'nt equal, then I think the expression will be multiplied by some temperature ratio, which I cbf thinking if it can be worked out, (perhaps if you assume some kind of "room temperature" for the air above the water).

Once I realised how to solve it, it was easy and I felt stupid. Since it is an isothermal compression, this means:

p1*V1 = p2*V2

solve for V2 and the answer comes out.
