A horizontal pipe of inner diameter 2.2 cm carries water with a density of 1000.0 kg/m3 flowing at a rate of 1.5 kg/s. If the pi

EleoNora [17]

The speed of the water in the wider part will be 1.194 m/sec. Speed is a time-based quantity. Its SI unit is m/sec.

<h3> What is speed?</h3>

Speed is defined as the rate of change of the distance or the height attained.

The given data in the problem is;

The initial diameter is, $\rm d_1 = 2.2 \ cm$

initial radius,

$r_1 = \frac{d_1}{2} \\\\ r_1 = \frac{2.2}{2} \\\\ r_1 = 1.1\ cm$

The initial crossection area;

$\rm A_1 = \pi r_1^2 \\\\ \rm A_1 = 3.14 \times (1.1\times 10^{-2})^2 \\\\ \rm A_1 =3.8 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$

The final crossection area;

$\rm A_2 = \pi r_2^2 \\\\ \rm A_2 = 3.14 \times ( 2 \times 10^{-2})^2 \\\\ \rm A_2 = 12.56 \ m^2$

The initial flow rate is;

R = density ×velocity ×area

$\rm R = \rho A V \\\\ 1.5 = 1000 \times V_1 \times 3.8 \times 10^{-4} \\\\ V_1 = 3.947 \ m/sec$

The speed of the water in the wider part will be;

From the continuity equation;

$\rm A_1 V_1 = A_2V_2 \\\\\ 3.8 \times 10^{-4} \times 3.947 = 12.56 \times 10^{-4} \times V_2 \\\\ V_2= 1.194 \ m/sec$

Hence, the speed of the water in the wider part will be 1.194 m/sec.

Distance in scientific notation

n200080 [17]

Answer:

(See explanation for further information)

Explanation:

a) The distances of each planet with respect to the Sun is:

Mercury - $57.909 \times 10^{6}\,mi$

Venus - $67.240\times 10^{6}\,mi$

Earth - $92.960\times 10^{6}\,mi$

Mars - $141.600\times 10^{6}\,mi$

Jupiter - $483.800\times 10^{6}\,mi$

Saturn - $888.200\times 10^{6}\,mi$

Uranus - $1,787\times 10^{6}\,mi$

Neptune - $2,795\times 10^{6}\,mi$

b) The solutions are presented below:

A. The distance between Venus and Jupiter is:

$\Delta s = 483.800\times 10^{6}\,mi-67.240\times 10^{6}\,mi$

$\Delta s = 416.560\times 10^{6}\,mi$

B. The combined distance from the Sun is:

$\Delta s = 57.909\times 10^{6}\,mi + 67.240\times 10^{6}\,mi +92.960\times 10^{6}\,mi$

$\Delta s = 218.109\times 10^{6}\,mi$

Which is less than the distance from the Sun to Neptune ( $2,795\times 10^{6}\,mi$ ).

C. The new distance of Earth is $929.60 \times 10^{6}\,mi$ ( $929,600,000\,mi$ ). Saturn would be the closest planet to Earth, whose distance:

Scientific notation:

$\Delta s = 929.600\times 10^{6}\,mi-888.200\,\times 10^{6}\,mi$

$\Delta s = 41.4\times 10^{6}\,mi$

Standard notation:

$\Delta s = 929,600,000\,mi - 888,200,000\,mi$

$\Delta s = 41,400.000\,mi$

18. Two objects, X and Y. accelerate from rest with the same constant acceleration. Object X accelerates for

zvonat [6]

Answer:

e. Object X has traveled four times as far as object Y.

Explanation:

The distance covered by an object in uniform accelerated motion is given by:

$d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

The two objects in the problem have same initial velocity, u = 0 (since they start from rest), so we can rewrite the equation as

$d=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

We see that the distance covered is proportional to the square of the time. In this problem, the two objects X and Y have same acceleration, but object X accelerates for twice the time: since $d \propto t^2$ , this means that the distance covered by X will be $2^2 = 4$ times higher that the distance covered by object Y.
