You wash the dishes. when you let the water down the drain, where is the water flowing the fastest?

1 answer:

3 0

The water flows the fastest at the center.

This is due to the friction between the water and the sink/drain. The outer parts of the water that are in contact with the kitchen sink/drain experience a greater frictional force and slow down. Their slowing down also affects the layers of water molecules adjacent to them, thereby reducing their speed as well. The layer of water molecules least affected by the friction with the sink/drain is at the center, and so they are the ones that move the fastest.

A weightlifter completes a series of lifts with a 700 N weight. In one lift, he raises the weight to a height of 2.5 m off the g

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The output power the weightlifter is 2916.67 W.

Explanation:

Given;

weight lifted, W = 700 N

height the weight is lifted, h = 2.5 m

time taken to lift the weight, t = 0.60 s

The output power the weightlifter is calculated as;

Power = Energy applied / time taken

Energy applied = weight lifted x height the weight is lifted

Energy applied = 700 x 2.5

Energy applied = 1750 J

Power = 1750 / 0.6

Power = 2916.67 J/s = 2916.67 W.

Therefore, the output power the weightlifter is 2916.67 W.

6. An earthquake releases two types of traveling seismic waves, called transverse and longitudinal waves. The average speed of t

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of transverse wave = 9.1\ km/s

Speed of longitudinal wave = 5.7 km/s

Time = 71 sec

We need to calculate the distance of transverse wave

Using formula of distance

$d=v\times t$

$d=9.1\times t$ ....(I)

The distance of longitudinal wave

$d=5.7\times (t+71)$ ....(II)

From the first equation

$t=\dfrac{d}{9.1}$

Put the value of t in equation (II)

$d =5.7\times(\dfrac{d}{9.1}+71)$

$\dfrac{9.1d-5.7d}{9.1}=71\times5.7$

$d0.3736=404.7$

$d =1083.24\ km$

Hence, The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.

A car travels 100 m while decelerating to 8 m/s in 5 s.<br> a) What was its initial speed?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Vi = 32 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the following the two following kinematics equations.

$v_{f} =v_{i} - (a*t)\\$

The negative sign of the second term of the equation means that the velocity decreases, as indicated in the problem.

where:

Vf = final velocity = 8[m/s]

Vi = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration = [m/s^2]

t = time = 5 [s]

Now replacing:

8 = Vi - 5*a

Vi = (8 + 5*a)

As we can see we have two unknowns the initial velocity and the acceleration, so we must use a second kinematics equation.

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} - (2*a*d)$

where:

d = distance = 100[m]

(8^2) = (8 + 5*a)^2 - (2*a*100)

64 = (64 + 80*a + 25*a^2) - 200*a

0 = 80*a - 200*a + 25*a^2

0 = - 120*a + 25*a^2

0 = 25*a(a - 4.8)

therefore:

a = 0 or a = 4.8 [m/s^2]

We choose the value of 4.8 as the acceleration value, since the zero value would not apply.

Returning to the first equation:

8 = Vi - (4.8*5)

Vi = 32 [m/s]

Can some answer 7 a and b please

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a.After $15$ second Mr Comer's speed $=$ $1.7 m/s$

b.Distance travelled by Mr.Comer in $15$ seconds $=$ $18.75\ m$

Explanation:

a. Lets recall our first equation of motion $V_{f} =V_{i} + at$

Now we know that $V_{i} = 0.8m/s$ , $a = 0.06\ m/s^2$ and

$t = 15 \ sec$

Plugging the values we have.

$V_{f} =V_{i} + at$

$V_{f} =0.8 + 0.06 \times 15$

$V_{f} =0.8+ 0.9$

$V_{f} =1.7 m/s$

Then Mr.Comer's speed after $15$ sec $=$ $1.7ms^-1$

Lets find the distance and recall our third equation of motion.

$V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2 = 2as$

So $s =$ distance covered.

Dividing both sides with 2a we have.

$\frac{V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2}{2a} = 2as$

Plugging the values.

$\frac{(1.7)^2-(0.8)^2}{2\times0.06} = 2as$

$s= 18.75\ m$

So Mr.Comer will travel a distance of $s= 18.75\ m$ .
