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.

X-rays are used instead of visible light because X-rays have shorter ______________ than visible light, allowing them to produce
Novay_Z [31]
X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu
ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}

     1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight  and the above equation will be as follows.

   (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}

         v = sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}

           = 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.
