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.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

.75 km = 750 m

acceleration a = 5 m/s²

distance s = 750 m

initial velocity u = 0

Final velocity v = ?

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2 x 5 x 750

v = 86.60 m /s.

A closed system consisting of 2 lb of a gas undergoes a process during which the relation between pressure and volume is pVn = c
vazorg [7]

Answer:

V1=<u>2.5ft3</u>

<u>V2=1ft3</u>

n=1.51

Explanation:

PART A:

the volume of each state is obtained by multiplying the mass by the specific volume in each state

V=volume

v=especific volume

m=mass

V=mv

state 1

V1=m.v1

V1=2lb*1.25ft3/lb=<u>2.5ft3</u>

state 2

V2=m.v2

V2=2lb*0.5ft3/lb=  <u> 1ft3</u>

PART B:

since the PV ^ n is constant we can equal the equations of state 1 and state 2

P1V1^n=P2V2^n

P1/P2=(V2/V1)^n

ln(P1/P2)=n . ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(P1/P2)/ ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(15/60)/ ln (1/2.5)

n=1.51

A. make an argument for halting the advances of technology? b. make an argument for continuing advances in technology
Naddik [55]
<span>Halting advances in tech could be useful because the automation in many tasks has rendered the human touch obsolete in many lower-level positions. They can be done by machines without the need for stoppage time for breaks. Continuing technology can be useful because it can increase output and make it easier for people to get what they're wanting or needing without spending extravagant amounts of resources.</span>

KE 1/2mv^2 is a for kinetic energy (KE) in terms of mass, m, and the velocity, v, of a moving object. Which choice shows a corre
aivan3 [116]

Answer:Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
