The height is proportional to the kinetic energy of the projectile. So the ratio of the two KEs is 5.4/2.2 = 2.45.

KE is proportional to velocity squared, so velocity is proportional to the square root of the KE, which is √2.45 = 1.57, which is the answer. 


To explain it more in detailed: 


KE = PE = mgh, which displays you the KE and height proportionality. 


KE = ½mV² or 


V = √(2KE/m) which shows you the other proportionality 


combining 


V = √(2mgh/m) = √(2gh) 


V₁/V₂ = √(2gh₁) / √(2gh₂) = √(h₁/h₂) = √(5.4/2.2) = 1.57

Water flows at 0.65 m/s through a 3.0 cm diameter hose that terminates in a 0.3 cm diameter nozzle. (Recall, the density of wate
xeze [42]

Answer:

v2 = 65 m/s

the speed of the water leaving the nozzle is 65 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

Water flows at 0.65 m/s through a 3.0 cm diameter hose that terminates in a 0.3 cm diameter nozzle

Initial speed v1 = 0.65 m/s

diameter d1 = 3.0 cm

diameter (nozzle) d2 = 0.3 cm

The volumetric flow rates in both the hose and the nozzle are the same.

V1 = V2 ........1

Volumetric flow rate V = cross sectional area × speed of flow

V = Av

Area = (πd^2)/4

V = v(πd^2)/4 ....2

Substituting equation 2 to 1;

v1(πd1^2)/4 = v2(πd2^2)/4

v1d1^2 = v2d2^2

v2 = (v1d1^2)/d2^2

Substituting the given values;

v2 = (0.65 × 3^2)/0.3^2

v2 = 65 m/s

the speed of the water leaving the nozzle is 65 m/s

Mass is conserved in a reaction if the of the initial reactant masses equals the of the masses of
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

mass of the products

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the <u>mass of the products </u>in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.
