Two pipes are smoothly connected together without leaks. One has a diameter of 3 cm and the other has a diameter of 5 cm. Water

flows through the pipes. In which pipe is the flow speed the greatest? in which pipe is the volume flow rate the greatest?

Answer:

  1. The speed will be the greatest in the smaller pipe
  2. The volume flow rate is the same in both pipes

Explanation:

This question can be answered using the equation of continuity. Which is

V = A1v1 = A2v2

where V is the volume flow rate

           A is the cross sectional area of the pipe at that position

           v is the velocity of the flow at that point.

From the equation we can see the volume flow rate does not change even as the area and flow speed change. Which is consistent with the assumptions used in this equation which is that

  • The tube must one entry and one exit.
  • The fluid in question is non-viscous.
  • The fluid is incompressible.
  • The flow is steady.  

If the temperature does not change, meaning there is not expansion/contraction and it is incompressible then the volume flow rate does not change.

And the speed will be higher in the pipe with the smaller diameter because area and speed are inversely related.

Answer:

current, only

Explanation:

current:I

voltage:U

resistance:R

formula: I=U/R

Increasing the battery cause the increasing in the voltage. Resistance does not normally change. And the current would increase.

Heat will always flow from High temperature to low temperature

here we know that the temperature inside the room is 60 degree while out side temperature is 80 degree

so the flow of heat is from outside to inside the room as heat flow is always from higher temperature to lower temperature

So after some time due to heat flow from outside the temperature of room will increase

And after long time the temperature of room and outside will be same and heat transfer will become in equilibrium

The barometer of a mountain hiker reads 930 mbars at the beginning of a hiking trip and 780 mbars at the end. Neglecting the eff
lara31 [8.8K]
We could use the change of pressure to calculate for the height climbed by the mountain hiker. The change of pressure is given by

p = rho * g * h, where p is the change of pressure, rho is the air density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

Using the conversion 1 mbar = 100 Pa,

(930 - 780)(100) = (1.20)(9.80)h
15000 = 1.20*9.80*h

h = 1.28 km

Why does a magnet attract a steel nail
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The nail will stick to the bar magnet because it will become magnetized, and it's metal. The presence of the nearby north pole rearranges the magnetic domains inside the steel so that their south poles all point toward the north pole of the permanent magnet. As a result, the other end of the nail becomes a north pole.Magnets attract iron due to the influence of their magnetic field upon the iron. ... When exposed to the magnetic field, the atoms begin to align their electrons with the flow of the magnetic field, which makes the iron magnetized as well. This, in turn, creates an attraction between the two magnetized objects.
