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.

A horizontal compass is placed 21 cm due south from a straight vertical wire carrying a 36 a current downward. in what direction
Anit [1.1K]

 <span>
The needle of a compass will always lies along the magnetic field lines of the earth. 
A magnetic declination at a point on the earth’s surface equal to zero implies that 
the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field line at that specific point lies along 
the line of the north-south magnetic poles. </span>

The presence of a current-carrying wire creates an additional <span>
magnetic field that combines with the earth’s magnetic field. Since magnetic 
<span>fields are vector quantities, therefore the magnetic field of the earth and the magnetic field of the vertical wire must be combined vectorially. </span></span>

<span>
Where:</span>

B1 = magnetic field of the earth along the x-axis = 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T

B2 = magnetic field due to the straight vertical wire along the y-axis

We can calculate for B2 using Amperes Law:

B2 = μ₀ i / [ 2 π R ]

B2 = [ 4π × 10 ⁻ ⁷ T • m / A ] ( 36 A ) / [ 2 π (0.21 m ) ] <span>
B2 = 5.97 × 10 ⁻ ⁵ T = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T </span>

The angle can be calculated using tan function:<span>
tan θ = y / x = B₂ / B₁ = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T / 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T <span>
tan θ = 1.326</span></span>

θ = 53°

<span>
<span>The compass needle points along the direction of 53° west of north.</span></span>

A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result
Over [174]
B) law of conservation of momentum

It states that the total momentum of a system before impact is the same as the total momentum of the system after impact.

In this case total momentum before impact:

10kg*5m/s  + 5kg * 0m/s = 50 kg m/s

After Impact:

10kg*0m/s + 5kg*10m/s = 50 kg m/s

You can see the momentum before and after impact is same as 50 kg m/s  

Of course we assumed that the first cart stopped after the impact, and there are no energy losses.

Tâm ống dẫn đặt dưới đường phân giới giữa nước và thuỷ ngân h1 = 820mm, chênh lệch chiều cao cột thuỷ ngân h2 = 880mm (Hg = 13,
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

P = 79993.43245

Explanation:

Được -

Vị trí tâm ống dẫn dưới đường thuỷ ngân h1 = 820 mm

Chênh lệch chiều cao của cột thủy ngân h2 = 880mm

Tỷ trọng của thủy ngân = 13,5951 g / cm3

P = mật độ * gia tốc do trọng lực a * h

Thay thế các giá trị đã cho, chúng ta nhận được -

P = 13,5951 g / cm3 * 980,665 cm / s2 * (88-82) cm

P = 79993.43245
