Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

This problem can be better understood graphically, so in the attached image we will use a diagram of a positive displacement air pump.

We can see that when she pushes the plunger, we see that the volume decreases.

A student fills a tank of radius r with water to a height of h1 and pokes a small, 1.0 cm diameter hole at a distance h2 from th
Alik [6]

when a hole is made at the bottom of the container then water will flow out of it

The speed of ejected water can be calculated by help of Bernuolli's equation and Equation of continuity.

By Bernoulli's equation we can write

Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h = Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g *0

Now by equation of continuity

A_1v_1 = A_2v_2

\pi (0.2)^2 v_1 = \pi (0.01)^2 v_2

from above equation we can say that speed at the top layer is almost negligible.

v_1 = 0

now again by equation of continuity

\rho g h = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2

v = \sqrt{2 g h}

here we have

h = h_1 - h_2

h = 0.50 - 0.03 = 0.47m

now speed is given by

v = \sqrt{2* 9.8 * 0.47}

v = 3.03 m/s

A new planet is discovered beyond Pluto at a mean distance to the sun of 4004 million miles. Using Kepler's third law, determine
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

103239.89 days

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

                               a³ / T² = 7.496 × 10⁻⁶  (a.u.³/days²)

where,

a is the distance of the semi-major axis in a.u

T is the orbit time in days

Converting the mean distance of the new planet to astronomical unit (a.u.)

                       1 a.u = 9.296 × 10⁷ miles        

                                      \frac{4004 * 10^{6}}{9.296 * 10^{7}}  =  43.07\ a.u.

Substituting the values into Kepler's third law equation;

                                    \frac{(43.07)^{3}}{T^{2}}  =  7.496 * 10^{-6}  

                                    T^{2} = \frac{(43.07)^{3}}{7.496 * 10^{-6}} (days)²

                                    T^{2} = \sqrt{\frac{(43.07)^{3}}{7.496 * 10^{-6}}}

                                    T = 103239.89 days

An estimate time T for the new planet to travel around the sun in an orbit is 103239.89 days

Describe how pieces of rope move as waves pass
MaRussiya [10]
Well, as the waves move it moves the rope as if its trying to take shape of it. Since the rope it light it will move along the ocean and the ocean will keep pushing up on the rope. (even without the waves the water is pushing the rope up so it can take its shape)

Maybe that'll help
