Given:

The masses of the balls, m₁=1 kg

m₂=2 kg

The height of 1 kg ball, h₁=6 m

The height of 2 kg ball, h₂=3 m

To find:

Which of the given statements are true?

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. As the air resistance is negligible, the initial potential energy of the balls will be equal to their kinetic energy when they reach the ground.

Thus, the kinetic energy of the balls when they reach the ground is given by,

KE=PE=mgh

Where m is the mass of the balls, h is their respective height, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus the kinetic energy of mass m₁ is,

\begin{gathered} KE_1=1\times9.8\times6 \\ =58.8\text{ J} \end{gathered}

The kinetic energy of mass m₂ is,

\begin{gathered} KE_1=2\times9.8\times3 \\ =58.8\text{ J} \end{gathered}

The velocities of the balls will be given by the equation of kinetic energy.

Thus,

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where v is the respective velocities of the balls when they reach the ground.

On rearranging the above equation, the velocities will be given by,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times KE}{m}}

On substituting the known values, the velocity of the mass m₁ is

\begin{gathered} v_1=\sqrt{\frac{2\times58.8}{1}} \\ =10.84\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

The velocity of the mass m₂ is,

\begin{gathered} v_2=\sqrt{\frac{2\times58.8}{2}} \\ =7.7\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus the balls will have the same kinetic energies when they reach the ground. But the 1 kg ball will have a greater velocity than the 2-kg ball.

The time interval the ball takes is dependent on the height only and not on the mass. Thus the balls will not reach the ground at the same time.

Final answer:

Thus the correct answer is options are option B and option D.

Water (density = 1 ´ 103 kg/m3) flows at 10 m/s through a pipe with radius 0.030 m. the pipe goes up to the second floor of the
Hatshy [7]

density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

velocity of flow = 10 m/s

radius of pipe = 0.030 m

Height of second floor = 2 m

Now we can use here Bernuoli's Equation to find the speed of water flow at second floor

P_1 + 1/2\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h_1= P_2 + 1/2 \rho v_2^2 + \rho g h_2

P + 1/2 * 1000 * 10^2 + 1000* 9.8 * 0 = P + 1/2 * 1000 * v^2 + 1000*9.8*2

v = 7.8 m/s

Now in order to find the radius of pipe we can use equation of continuity

A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2

\pi *0.030^2 * 10 = \pi * r^2 * 7.8

r = 0.034 m

So radius of pipe at second floor is 0.034 meter

6. Draw a velocity-time graph for an object originally traveling at -3 m/s. The object
faltersainse [42]

See the graph in attachment

Explanation:

In this problem we have to draw a velocity-time graph for an object travelling initially at -3 m/s, then slowing down and turning around.

In the graph, we see that the initial velocity at time t = 0 is

v_0 = -3 m/s

and it is negative, so below the x-axis.

Later, the object slows down: this means that the magnitude of its velocity increases, therefore (since the velocity is negative) the curve must go upward, approaching and reaching the x-axis (which corresponds to zero velocity).

After that, the object's velocity keep increasing, but now it is positive: this means that the object is travelling in a direction opposite to the initial direction, so it has turned around.
