Answer:d

Explanation:

Given

First car is moving  towards east with velocity 20 m/s

\vec{v_1}=20\hat{i}

then it turns towards north then velocity is  

\vec{v_2}=10\hat{j}

suppose car takes t sec to change its path so average acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t}

a=\frac{1}{t}(10\hat{j}-20\hat{i})

So average  acceleration is towards North of west.

Planetary Nebula are the outer layers of a star that are lost when the star changes from a red giant to a white dwarf. A star is a luminous globe of gas producing its own heat and light by nuclear reactions (nuclear fusion). They are born from nebulae and consist mostly of hydrogen and helium gas.

Which telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation?.
son4ous [18]

Space telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation.

<h3>What is telescope?</h3>

A telescope is an optical instrument that uses lenses, curved mirrors, or a combination of both to watch distant objects.

When atoms in a gas reach this temperature, they travel so quickly that when they collide, they release X-ray photons with wavelengths smaller than 10 nanometers.

Because the Earth's atmosphere prevents all X-rays from space, these wavelengths must be seen using space telescopes.

To study short-wavelength radiation, space telescopes must be put in orbit around the Earth.

Hence, space telescope is the correct answer.

How is it possible for a person watching a baseball game on TV to hear sounds before someone who is actually watching the same g
Andreyy89

Answer:

It is possible because, the TV broadcast audio and video signals in radio frequency which travels at the speed of light while the audio signals travel to those present in the stadium at the speed of sound which is over eight hundred thousand times slower than the speed of light

Explanation:

It is possible because of the following;

1. TV signals from the camera (including the captured sound) very close to the field of play are transmitted through the radio frequency bands and as such are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels at the speed of light which is about 300,000 km/second

It will therefore, take 1 second for a sound of the game to reach someone located at 300,000,000 meters watching a live televised game

2. The speed of sound is about 343 m/second and it therefore takes up to 2 seconds for a sound to reach someone 686 meters away from the ball in the stadium.

. Water is flowing at 12m/s in a horizontal pipe under a pressure of 600kpa radius 2cm. a. What is the speed of the water on the
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Outlet Velocity = 192 m/s

Outlet Pressure = 510 kPa

Explanation:

Givens:

Inlet Velocity, V₁ = 12 m/s

Inlet Pressure, P₁ = 600 kPa = 600,000 Pa

Inlet Radius r₁ = 0.5 cm

Outlet Velocity, V₂ = not given (we are asked to find this)

Outlet Pressure,  P₂ = not given (we are asked to find this)

Outlet Radius, r₂ = 0.5 cm

From these, we can find the following:

Inlet Area, A₁ = π (r₁)² = π(2)² = 4π cm²

Outlet Area, A₂ = π (r₂)² = π(0.5)² = 0.25π cm²

<u>Part A :</u>

Assuming that water is incompressible, we can reason that within the same given time, the amount of volume of water entering the inlet must equal the volume of water exiting the outlet. Hence by the continuity equation (i.e. conservation of mass)

Inlet Volume flow rate = Outlet Volume flow rate

(recall that Volume flow rate in a pipe is given by Velocity x Cross Section Area), Hence the equation becomes

V₁ x A₁ = V₂ x A₂  (substituting the values that we know from above)

12 x 4π = V₂ x 0.25π  (we don't have to change all to SI units because the conversion factors on the left will cancel out the conversion factors on the right).

V₂ = (12 x 4π) / (0.25π)

V₂ = 192 m/s  (Answer)

<u>Part B:</u>

For Part B, if we assume a closed ideal system (control volume method), we can simply apply the energy equation (i.e Bernoulli's equation)

P₁ + (1/2)ρV₁ + ρgh₁ = P₂ + (1/2)ρV₂ + ρgh₂

Because the pipe is horizontal, there is no difference between h₁ and h₂, hence we can neglet this term:

P₁ + (1/2)ρV₁ = P₂ + (1/2)ρV₂  (rearranging)

P₂ = P₁ + (1/2)ρV₁ - (1/2)ρV₂

= P₁  + (1/2)ρ (V₁-V₂)

Assuming that the density of water is approx, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

P₂ = 600,000  + (1/2)(1000) (12-192)

= 600,000  + ( -90,000)

= 510,000 Pa

= 510 kPa (Answer)
