Homework Statement
What is the resulting PSI when the kinetic energy of 100 kg at 7 m/s is used to compress air into a 15cm x 15cm x 60cm tank?
Homework Equations
Kinetic energy K = 0.5mv^2
Boyle's Law PV = K
The Attempt at a Solution
.5 x 100 x 7^2
50 x 49 = 2450 joules...
w = x = y = z ,
If this were a pump system with water, I think the pressure and flow would be much higher at reading #2, because water has momentum? What about electricity, would the current be higher at #2?
