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.

At baseball practice, Mason and Alfredo both picked up the same bat and neither would let go until one of them had it for himsel
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Option B. O because the net force was 5 N in Alfredo's direction

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, we shall determine the net force acting on the bat. This can be obtained as follow:

Force of pull by Mason (Fₘ) = 15 N

Force of pull by Alfredo (Fₐ) = 20 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = 20 – 15

Fₙ = 5 N in Alfredo's direction

From the calculation made above, we can see that the net force is 5N in Alfredo's direction. This is the reason why Alfredo end up having the bat.

According to Kepler's Third Law, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about
NARA [144]

Answer:

Orbital period, T = 1.00074 years

Explanation:

It is given that,

Orbital radius of a solar system planet, r=4\ AU=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

The orbital period of the planet can be calculated using third law of Kepler's. It is as follows :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M is the mass of the sun

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times (1.496\times 10^{11})^3    

T^2=\sqrt{9.96\times 10^{14}}\ s

T = 31559467.6761 s

T = 1.00074 years

So, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about 1.00074 years.
