Water flows without friction vertically downward through a pipe and enters a section where the cross sectional area is larger. T

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$v_{2}$ will be less than $v_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ will be greater than $P_{1}$ .

Explanation:

As we know from the conservation of mass, the rate at which any amount of fluid mass ( $m_{1}$ ) is entering in a system is equal to the rate at which the same amount of fluid mass ( $m_{2}$ ) is leaving the system.

Rate of mass flow can be written as,

$m = \rho A v$

where $\rho$ is the density of the fluid, $A$ is the area through which the fluid is flowing and $v$ is the velocity of the fluid.

Now, according to the problem, as the density of the fluid does not change, we can write

$&& m_{1} = m_{2}\\&or,& \rho A_{1} v_{1} = \rho A_{2} v_{2}\\&or,& \dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}$

where $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ are the cross-sectional areas through which the fluid is passing and $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ are the velocities of the fluid through the respective cross-sectional areas.

As according to the problem, $A_{2} > A_{1}$ , so from the above formula $v_{2} < v_{1}$ .

Also we know that fluid pressure is created by the motion of the fluid through any area. When the fluid gains speed, some of its energy is used to move faster in the fluid’s direction of motion. It causes in a lower pressure.

So, as in this case $v_{2} < v_{1}$ the pressure in the large cross-sectional area $P_{2}$ will be greater than the pressure $P_{1}$ in the small cross sectional area, i.e.,

$P_{2} > P_{1}$ .

An electric field of 1.27 kV/m and a magnetic field of 0.490 T act on a moving electron to produce no net force. If the fields a

lesantik [10]

Answer:

v = 2591.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The electric field is 1.27 kV/m and the magnetic field is 0.49 T. We need to find the electron's speed if the fields are perpendicular to each other. The magnetic force is balanced by the electric force such that,

$qE=qvB\\\\v=\dfrac{E}{B}\\\\v=\dfrac{1.27\times 10^3}{0.49}\\\\v=2591.83\ m/s$

So, the speed of the electron is 2591.83 m/s.

A 0.11 N m torque is applied to a fan that was initially at rest. The fan has moment of inertia of 0.034 kg m2. Determine the ki

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

2.72*10-3 Joules

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

$\tau=I*\alpha$

given

$\tau= 0.11Nm\\\\I=0.034kgm^2\\\\t= 8s\\\\\alpha=?$

$\alpha =0.11/0.034\\\\\alpha=3.23 rad/s^2$

the angular velocity is

$\omega = \alpha/t\\\\\omega =3.23/8\\\\\omega =0.4 rad/s$

$KE= 1/2*I* \omega^2$

$KE=1/2*0.034*0.4^2\\\\KE=1/2*0.034*0.16\\\\KE=0.00272\\\\KE=2.72*10^-3J$

Newton’s third law in football?

trapecia [35]

Newtons third law of motion applies to football as when the ball is thrown, force is applied to the football thrown forward and also force back to the player. Therefore it states that every action has a reaction. The player does not get a huge force back from throwing the football due to the player having a bigger mass than the football being thrown.

In short, when the football is throw, there is a reaction with the ball and the player accordingly with the force put into the ball.
