<span>If the swimmer is swimming perpendicular to the current, it will take her 66m / 0.42 m/s = 157.14 seconds to cross the river. At the same time, the current will be taking her downstream at a rate of 0.32 m/s. So, when she reaches the opposite bank, her total downstream distance traveled will have been 0.32*157.14 = 50.28 meters.</span>

(a) What is the fluid speed in a fire hose with a 9.00-cm diameter carrying 80.0 L of water per second? (b) What is the flow rat
son4ous [18]

Answer:

12.5752053801 m/s

80\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s

No.

Explanation:

Q = Volume flow rate = 80\ L/s=80\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s

d = Diameter of pipe = 9 cm

A = Area = \dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

Volume flow rate is given by

Q=Av\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{Q}{A}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{80\times 10^{-3}}{\dfrac{\pi}{4} (9\times 10^{-2})^2}\\\Rightarrow v=12.5752053801\ m/s

Velocity of fluid is 12.5752053801 m/s

The volume flow rate in m³/s is 80\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s

The flow of fluid does not depend on the type of water used. Hence the answers would be same. If Q is constant v will be the same irrespective of the type of water used.

A coin mass 0.005 kg is dropped from a height of 3 m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground ?
lesya692 [45]
Mechanical energy equals the sum of potential and kinetic energy. During the process, all PE converts into KE, assuming air resistance is neglected. So, the mechanical energy does not change and is equal to the initial potential energy.

=mgh
=0.005 x 9.81 x 3
=0.147J
