While walking past a construction site, a person notices a pipe sticking out of a second floor window with water pouring out. As

the water flows to the ground, it speeds up due to the effect of gravity. How does the diameter of the flowing stream of water change as it descends? Assuming that the flow remains laminar, its diameter

Answer:

Its diameter increases as it flows down from the pipe. Assuming laminar flow for the water, then Bernoulli's equation can be applied.

P1-P2 + (rho)g(h1 - h2) + 1/2(rho)(v1² - v2²) = 0

Explanation:

P1 = P2 = atmospheric pressure so, P1 - P2 = 0

h1 is greater than h2 so h1-h2 is positive. Rearranging the equation above 2{ (rho)g(h1-h2) + 1/2(rho)v1²}/rho = v2²

From the continuity equation for fluids

A1v1 = A2v2

v2 = A1v1/A2

Substituting into the equation above

(A1v1/A2)² = 2{ (rho)g(h1-h2) + 1/2(rho)v1²}/rho

Making A2² the subject of the formula,

A2² = (A1v1)²× rho/(2{ (rho)g(h1-h2) + 1/2(rho)v1²}

The denominator will be greater than the numerator and as a result the diameter of the flowing stream decreases.

Thank you for reading.

Which statement is true of all matter?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

D. It must have mass and volume

Explanation:

In science, matter is referred to as any substance that has weight and occupies space. This means that the substance must have a MASS of its own when weighed and also a VOLUME.

Matter include elements, molecules, humans, etc. In fact, almost every substance on Earth is considered MATTER. Therefore, the fact that a substance must "have mass and volume" is true for all matter.

What is the result of two displacement vectors having opposite directions?
jonny [76]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Resultant of two vectors having opposite direction is the difference of the two displacements having the same direction as the larger vector. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

Resultant of two vectors is obtained by performing the vector addition operation. When the directions of both vectors are same the resultant’s direction will also be the same as the inputs. When two vectors have opposite directions, one direction will be taken positive making one vector positive and the other negative.

By performing addition of a positive and negative number we are actually taking the difference between both. Thus performing vector addition of two vectors with opposite directions is equivalent to finding the difference between the vectors. Consider a system consisting of a solid block, on which two forces F1 and F2 act in the opposite direction.

One force will be considered positive and the other is considered negative. The resultant is given by the difference of two force vectors. Displacement of the block will be in the direction of the greater force.

Sheila uses a 45N force on her bowling ball across a 15m lane. What work did she do on the bowling ball? Show your work.​
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

675J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 45N

Distance  = 15m

Unknown:

Work done by Sheila  = ?

Solution:

Work done by a body is the amount of force applied to make a body move through a distance;

         Work done  = Force x distance

 Now;

          Work done  = 45 x 15  = 675J

In an LC circuit at one time the charge stored by the capacitor is 10 mC and the current is 3.0 A. If the frequency of the circu
Ronch [10]

Answer:

i_2=3.61\ A

Explanation:

<u>LC Circuit</u>

It's a special circuit made of three basic elements: The AC source, a capacitor, and an inductor. The charge, current, and voltage are oscillating when there is an interaction between the electric and magnetic fields of the elements. The following variables will be used for the formulas:

q, q_1, q_2 = charge of the capacitor in any time t, t_1, t_2

q_o = initial charge of the capacitor

\omega=angular frequency of the circuit

i, i_1, i_2 = current through the circuit in any time t, t_1, t_2

The charge in an LC circuit is given by

q(t) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t )

The current is the derivative of the charge

\displaystyle i(t) = \frac{dq(t)}{dt} = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t).

We are given

q_1=10\ mc=0.01\ c, i_1=3\ A,\ q_2=6\ mc=0.006\ c\ ,\ f=\frac{1000}{4\pi}

It means that

q(t_1) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t_1 )=q_1\ .......[eq 1]

i(t_1) = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t_1)=i_1.........[eq 2]

From eq 1:

\displaystyle cos (\omega t_1 )=\frac{q_1}{q_0}

From eq 2:

\displaystyle sin(\omega t_1)=-\frac{i_1}{\omega q_0}

Squaring and adding the last two equations, and knowing that

sin^2x+cos^2x=1

\displaystyle \left ( \frac{q_1}{q_0} \right )^2+\left ( \frac{i_1}{\omega q_0} \right )^2=1

Operating

\displaystyle \omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2=\omega^2q_o^2

Solving for q_o

\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{\omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2}}{\omega}

Now we know the value of q_0, we repeat the procedure of eq 1 and eq 2, but now at the second time t_2, and solve for i_2

\displaystyle \omega^2q_2^2+i_2^2=\omega^2q_o^2

Solving for i_2

\displaystyle i_2=w\sqrt{q_o^2-q_2^2}

Now we replace the given values. We'll assume that the placeholder is a pi for the frequency, i.e.

\displaystyle f=\frac{1}{4\pi}\ KHz

w=2\pi f=500\ rad/s

\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{(500)^2(0.01)^2+3^2}}{500}

q_0=0.01166\ c

Finally

\displaystyle i_2=500\sqrt{0.01166^2-.006^2}

i_2=5\ A
