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

A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force due to Earth's magnetic field on the wire?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: The correct option is A ( horizontally towards the east)

Explanation:

Magnetic field is a region around a magnet or a current- carrying conductor, where a magnetic force is experienced. The magnetic effect of electric current was first discovered in the early 1820 by Oersted. Using a wire that had current flowing through it and a pivoted magnetic needle, he discovered that the direction of deflection depended on the direction of the current and whether the wire was above or below the needle.

From the way the needle turns when current when current carrying wire is held parallel to it, he therefore concluded that:

--> a current has magnetic field all round it,

--> the magnetic field is in a direction perpendicular to the current.

The above discovery was now modified in Fleming's left hand rule which states that when conductor carrying current is placed in a magnetic field, the conductor will experience a force perpendicular to both the field and the flow of current.

Therefore from the question, a vertical wire carrying current in DOWNWARD direction is placed in a HORIZONTAL magnetic field directed to the NORTH. The direction of the force on the wire is to the EAST.

The 5-kg block A has an initial speed of 5 m/s as it slides down the smooth ramp, after which it collides with the stationary bl
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The coupled velocity of both the blocks is 1.92 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block A, m_1=5\ kg

Initial speed of block A, u_1=5\ m/s

Mass of block B, m_2=8\ kg

Initial speed of block B, u_2=0

It is mentioned that if the two blocks couple together after collision. We need to find the common velocity immediately after collision. We know that due to coupling, it becomes the case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum. Let V is the coupled velocity of both the blocks. So,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{5\times 5+0}{(5+8)}\\\\V=1.92\ m/s

So, the coupled velocity of both the blocks is 1.92 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
