A stream moving with a speed of 7.1 m/s reaches a point where the cross-sectional area of the stream decreases to one half of th

e original area. What is the speed of the water in this narrowed portion of the stream?

Answer:

14.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Speed of the stream, v₁ = 7.1 m/s

let the cross section area at initial point be A₁

now area at the second point, A₂ = (1/2)A₁ = 0.5A₁

now, from the continuity equation, we have

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where, v₂ is the velocity at the narrowed portion

thus, on substituting the values, we get

A₁ × 7.1 = 0.5A₁ × v₂

or

v₂ = 14.2 m/s

In a 350-m race, runner A starts from rest and accelerates at 1.6 m/s^2 for the first 30 m and then runs at constant speed. Runn
kifflom [539]

Answer:

B can take 0.64 sec for the longest nap .

Explanation:

Given that,

Total distance = 350 m

Acceleration of A = 1.6 m/s²

Distance = 30 m

Acceleration of B = 2.0 m/s²

We need to calculate the time for A

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at_{A}^2

Put the value in the equation

30=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.6\times t_{A}^2

t_{A}=\sqrt{\dfrac{30\times2}{1.6}}

t_{A}=6.12\ sec

We need to calculate the time for B

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at_{B}^2

Put the value in the equation

30=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times2.0\times t_{B}^2

t_{B}=\sqrt{\dfrac{30\times2}{2.0}}

t_{B}=5.48\ sec

We need to calculate the time for longest nap

Using formula for difference of time

t'=t_{A}-t_{B}

t'=6.12-5.48

t'=0.64\ s

Hence, B can take 0.64 sec for the longest nap .

Maslowich

Answer:

mass of box 1 = 2.20 kg

mass of box 2 = 5.93 kg

Explanation:

Let the mass of box 1 and box 2 is respectively

m_1 and m_2

so we will have

Force applied on box 1 then acceleration

a = \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2}

1.50 = \frac{12.2}{m_1 + m_2}

m_1 + m_2 = 8.13

Now we know that contact force between them in above case is given as

F_n = m_2a

8.90 = m_2(1.5)

m_2 = 5.93 kg

now we have

m_1 = 2.20 kg
