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.

A graph that shows how position depends on time is a?
AfilCa [17]

Hello!

A graph that shows how position is depending on time is known as a Position Time Graph.

This is a graph used in Physics to help us understand how motion (positive/negative velocity) changes over a period of time. Motion can be seen in two ways on this graph: constant velocity and changing velocity, otherwise known as acceleration.

Hopes this help you answer your question!

Name human body organs where magnetism is significant
ser-zykov [4K]
It has been hypothesized, and some studies have supported the conjecture,
that certain species of insects and birds are able to sense the direction of external
magnetic fields.

I don't think there is any such notion where human beings are concerned.

Starting from zero, the electric current takes 2 seconds to reach half its maximum possible value in an RL circuit with a resist
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

time=4s

Explanation:

we know that in a RL circuit with a resistance R, an inductance L and a battery of emf E, the current (i) will vary in following fashion

i(t)=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}), where imax=\frac{E}{R}

Given that, at i(2)=\frac{imax}{2} =\frac{E}{2R}

⇒\frac{E}{2R}=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}})

⇒\frac{1}{2}=1-e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒\frac{1}{2}=e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}

Applying logarithm on both sides,

⇒log(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒log(2)=\frac{2}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒\frac{L}{R}=\frac{2}{log2}

Now substitute i(t)=\frac{3}{4}imax=\frac{3E}{4R}

⇒\frac{3E}{4R}=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}})

⇒\frac{3}{4}=1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒\frac{1}{4}=e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}

Applying logarithm on both sides,

⇒log(\frac{1}{4})=\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒log(4)=\frac{t}{\frac{L}{R}}

⇒t=log4\frac{L}{R}

now subs. \frac{L}{R}=\frac{2}{log2}

⇒t=log4\frac{2}{log2}

also log4=log2^{2}=2log2

⇒t=2log2\frac{2}{log2}

⇒t=4
