Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a xed sphere of radius R. If the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it

begins to slide down, through what vertical height will it descend before it leaves the surface of the sphere?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the vertical height by which it descends be h . Let it acquire velocity of v .

1/2 mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

As it leaves the surface of sphere , reaction force of surface  R = 0 , so

centripetal force = mg cosθ where θ is the angular displacement from the vertex .  

mv² / r = mg cosθ

(m/r )x 2gh = mg cosθ

2h / r = cosθ

cosθ = (r-h) / r

2h / r =  r-h / r

2h = r-h

3h = r

h = r / 3

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}.

a car traveling at 24 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 6 seconds what is its acceleration?
Irina18 [472]
We can solve for the acceleration by using a kinematic equation. First we should identify what we know so we can choose the  correct equation.

We are given an original velocity of 24 m/s, a final velocity of 0 m/s, and a time  of 6 s. We and looking for acceleration (a) in m/s^2.

The following equation has everything we need:

v_f=v_i + at

So plug in the known values and solve for a:

0 = 24 + 6a

-24 = 6a

a = -4 m/s^2
