An irrigation channel has a rectangular cross section of 1.5 ft deep x 11 ft wide on the input side. On the far end of the chann

el, the channel expands to 6 ft wide while maintaining the same depth. If the water flowing into the channel has a speed of 30 ft/sec, calculate the velocity of the water flow on the far end of the channel.

Answer:

55 ft/s

Explanation:

A₁ = Area of rectangular cross-section at input side = 1.5 x 11 = 16.5 ft²

A₂ = Area of rectangular cross-section at far end = 1.5 x 6 = 9 ft²

v₁ = speed of water at the input side of channel = 30 ft/s

v₂ = speed of water at the input side of channel = ?

Using equation of continuity

A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

(16.5) (30) = (9) v₂

v₂ = 55 ft/s

In which of the following conditions would there be the most resistance?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

A) A warm wire

Explanation:

A warm wire has the most resistance. Heating the metal wire causes atoms to vibrate more, which in turn makes it more difficult for the electrons to flow, increasing resistance. Heating the wire increases resistivity.

Which Moon position in the lunar cycle would provide the largest difference in ocean tides?
nlexa [21]

The greatest difference between high and low tide is around New Moon and Full Moon. During these Moon phases, the solar tide coincides with the lunar tide because the Sun and the Moon are aligned with Earth, and their gravitational forces combine to pull the ocean's water in the same direction.

Your answer is B Full moon

Why do some astronomers object to the new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

A. New space missions show that Pluto is much larger than originally thought.

Explanation:

The new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006, defined planet as  an object that orbits the sun, with sufficient mass to be round, not a satellite of another object, and has removed debris and small objects from the area around its orbit.

This new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006, classified Pluto as "dwarf planet", because Pluto meets planetary criteria except that it has not cleared debris from its orbital neighborhood.

However, new Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto in 2015, revealed that Pluto is much larger than originally thought

Therefore, the correct option is "A"

A. New space missions show that Pluto is much larger than originally thought.
