A wagon is accelerating down a hill. Which statement is true?

1 answer:

3 0

Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.

Potential energy is related to the height, since the wagon is going downhill, height decreases and potential energy decreases.

Kinetic energy is related to the speed, since the wagon is speeding up, kinetic energy increases.

Water flows straight down from an open faucet. The cross-sectional area of the faucet is 2.4 × 10-4m2 and the speed of the water

Ksenya-84 [330]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the continuity equations in the fluid and the kinematic equation for the description of the displacement, velocity and acceleration.

By definition the movement of the Fluid under the terms of Speed, acceleration and displacement is,

$v_2^2 = v_1^2 + 2gh$

Where,

$V_i =$ Velocity in each state

g= Gravity

h = Height

Our values are given as,

$A_1 = 2.4*10^{-4} m^2$

$v_1 = 0.8 m/s$

$h = 0.11m$

Replacing at the kinetic equation to find $V_2$ we have,

$v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 + 2gh}$

$v_2 = \sqrt{(0.8 m/s)^2 + 2(9.80 m/s2)(0.11 m)}$

$v_2= 1.67 m/s$

Applying the concepts of continuity,

$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

We need to find A_2 then,

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

So the cross sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

$A_2= \frac{(2.4*10^{-4})(0.8)}{(1.67)}$

$A_2= 1.14*10^{-4} m2$

Therefore the cross-sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is $1.14*10^{-4} m2$

Tom is sitting facing forward in the train as it is getting ready to leave the station. He puts a smooth ball on the train floor

Vesnalui [34]

According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to the ball is the ball rolls backward.

<h3>What is the first law?</h3>

This means that an object at rest or in motion will remain uniformly rectilinear and tend to be in that state if the net force on it is zero.

In this case, we have to think that the ball is at rest and the train is moving with a velocity that way, the reaction of the ball will be to go in the opposite direction to the motion.
