<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. 3.43 kPa

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = Force / Area

Force is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. 

 Thus;  Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Substituting;

               Force = (350 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

               Force = 3430 N

Then, using the first equation;

                Pressure = 3430 N / 1m² or Pa

<h3>                             <u>= 3.43 kPa</u></h3>

If a car was cruising down the highway at 80 km/hr, how fast would the people inside the car be traveling?
wolverine [178]
Because the people in the car are attached to the vehicle, the people inside the vehicle are going the same speed as the vehicle.

Hope this helps! :)

Water, which we can treat as ideal and incompressible, flows at 12 m/s in a horizontal pipe with a pressure of 3.0 × 10^4 Pa.
Triss [41]

Answer:

9.8 × 10⁴Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity V₁ = 12m/s

Pressure P₁ = 3 × 10⁴ Pa

From continuity equation we have

                              ρA₁V₁ = ρA₂V₂

                                 A₁V₁ = A₂V₂

making V₂ the subject of the equation;

                               V_{2} = \frac{A_{1}V_{1}}{A_{2}}

the pipe is widened to twice its original radius,

                                r₂ = 2r₁          

then the cross-sectional area A₂ = 4A₁

                           ⇒  V_{2}= \frac{A_{1}V_{1}}{4A_{1}}

                                  V_{2}= \frac{V_{1}}{4}

This implies that the water speed will drop by a factor of  \frac{1}{4} because of the increase the pipe cross-sectional area.  

 The Bernoulli Equation;

     Energy per unit volume before = Energy per unit volume after    

        p₁ + \frac{1}{2}ρV₁²  + ρgh₁ = p₂ + \frac{1}{2}ρV₂²  + ρgh₂  

Total pressure is constant and P_{T} = P = \frac{1}{2}ρV₂²ρV²  

        p₁ + \frac{1}{2}ρV₁²  = p₂ + \frac{1}{2}ρV₂²

Making p₂ the subject of the equation above;

        p₂ = p₁ + \frac{1}{2}ρV₁² - \frac{1}{2}ρV₂²

But V_{2}  = \frac{V_{1}}{4} so,

        p₂ = p₁ + \frac{1}{2}ρV₁² - \frac{1}{2}ρ\frac{V_{1}^{2}}{4^{2}}      

       p₂ = 3.0 x 10⁴ + (\frac{1}{2} × 1000 × 12²) - ( \frac{1}{2} × 1000 × 12²/4² )

      P₂ = 3.0 x 10⁴ + 7.2 × 10⁴ - 4.05 x 10³    

       P₂ = 9.79 × 10⁴Pa      

      P₂ = 9.8 × 10⁴Pa
