Water (rhoH20 = 1000.0 kg/m3 ) flows through a garden hose that goes up a step 20.0 cm high. The cross-sectional area of the hos

e on the top of the step is half that at the bottom of the step. The speed of the water at the bottom of the step is 1.20 m/s. If the water pressure is 143 kPa at the bottom of the step, what is the water pressure at the top of the step?

Answer:

 P₂ = 138.88 10³ Pa

Explanation:

This is a problem of fluid mechanics, we must use the continuity and Bernoulli equation

Let's start by looking for the top speed

        Q = A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

We will use index 1 for the lower part and index 2 for the upper part, let's look for the speed in the upper part (v2)

         v₂ = A₁ / A₂ v₁

They indicate that A₂ = ½ A₁ and give the speed at the bottom (v₁ = 1.20 m/s)

         v₂ = 2  1.20

         v₂ = 2.40 m / s

Now let's write the Bernoulli equation

        P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P2 + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

Let's clear the pressure at point 2

       P₂ = P₁ + ½ ρ (v₁² - v₂²) + ρ g (y₁-y₂)

we put our reference system at the lowest point

        y₁ - y₂ = -20 cm

Let's calculate

       P₂ = 143 10³ + ½ 1000 (1.20² - 2.40²) + 1000 9.8 (-0.200)

       P₂ = 143 103 - 2,160 103 - 1,960 103

       P₂ = 138.88 10³ Pa

A stone is dropped from a bridge 45 meters above the surface river. It takes the stone 4.6 seconds to reach the water surface. F
Hunter-Best [27]
The most interesting thing about this problem is that in order to use all of the given information, you need to ignore the laws of Physics, and never mind what the stone would really do if dropped from a real bridge in the real world.

Average velocity = (displacement) / (time for the displacement)

Displacement =
        Straight path from the start point to the finish point  =  45 meters down .
Time = 4.6 seconds

Average velocity  =  45/4.6 = <em>9.783 meters/second down</em>

==================================

In the real world, a dropped stone would only take  3.03  seconds
to fall 45 meters.

Alternatively, a stone that fell for  4.6 seconds from rest would fall
103.7 meters, with an average velocity of  22.5 meters/second down.

But we accepted the given information, and did the best we could do
with it.

A rocket explodes into two fragments, one 25 times heavier than the other. The magnitude of the momentum change of the lighter f
V125BC [204]

Answer:

B) The same as the momentum change of the heavier fragment.

Explanation:

Since the initial momentum of the system is zero, we have

0 = p + p' where p = momentum of lighter fragment = mv where m = mass of lighter fragment, v = velocity of lighter fragment, and p' = momentum of heavier fragment = m'v' where m = mass of heavier fragment = 25m and v = velocity of heavier fragment.

0 = p + p'

p = -p'

Since the initial momentum of each fragment is zero, the momentum change of lighter fragment Δp = final momentum - initial momentum = p - 0  = p

The momentum change of heavier fragment Δp' = final momentum - initial momentum = p' - 0 = p' - 0 = p'

Since p = -p' and Δp = p and Δp' = -p = p ⇒ Δp = Δp'

<u>So, the magnitude of the momentum change of the lighter fragment is the same as that of the heavier fragment.  </u>

So, option B is the answer

Question If a force of 2N is used to move a box 1 meter, how much work was done to move the box?​
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

I assume that the force of 2N is applied along the direction of motion and was applied for the whole 1 meter, the formula of work is this; Work = force * distance * cosθ where θ is zero degrees. Plugging in the data to the formula;

Explanation:

Work = 2N * 1m * cos 0º.

Work = 2N * 1m * 1

Work = 2Nm

Work = 2 joules

A circuit contains two resistors in series. The voltage drop across the first is 10 V. The voltage drop across the second is als
Norma-Jean [14]

Hi there!

Voltage in a series can be expressed by the following:

V_T = V_1 + V_2

In words, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops in a SERIES circuit.

We can solve for the total voltage:

V_T = 10 + 10 = \boxed{\text{ D. 20 V}}
