A cylindrical bucket, open at the top, is 28.0 cm high and 11.0 cm in diameter. A circular hole with a cross-sectional area 1.55
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

so height is 0.1283 m

Explanation:

given data

height = 28 cm

diameter = 11 cm

cross-sectional area = 1.55 cm2

water flow rate  =  2.46×10^−4 m3/s

to find out

How high will the water in the bucket rise

solution

we know that here

potential energy = kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2 mv²

multiply both sides by the 2 and we get

2mgh=mv²

solve it we get

√(2gh) = v    ....................1

h = v²/2g   ...............2

and

flow rate = A V

2.46×10^−4 = V 1.55×10^−4

V = 1.5870 m/s

so from 2

h = v²/2g

h = 1.5870²/ 2(9.81)

h = 0.1283 m

so height is 0.1283 m

First, you will investigate purely vertical motion. The kinematics equation for vertical motion (ignoring air resistance) is giv
AlladinOne [14]

Answer: It takes 2.85 seconds.

Explanation: according to the question, the kinematics equation for vertical motion is

y(t) = y_{0} + v_{0} .t - \frac{1}{2} .gt^{2}

y₀ is the initial postion and equals 0 because it is fired at ground level;

v₀ is the initial speed and eqauls 14m/s;

g is gravity and it is 9.8m/s²;

y(t) is the final position and equals 0 because it is when the pumpkin hits the ground;

Rewriting the equation, we have:

0 + 14t - \frac{1}{2}.9.8.t^{2} = 0

14t - 4.9t² = 0

t(14 - 4.9t) = 0

For this equation to be zero,

t = 0 or

14 - 4.9t = 0

- 4.9t = - 14

t = \frac{14}{4.9}

t = 2.86

It takes 2.86 seconds for the pumpkin to hit the ground.

a nonrelativistic proton is confined to a length of 2.0 pm on the x-axis. what is the kinetic energy of the proton if its speed
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

K = 1.29eV

Explanation:

In order to calculate the kinetic energy of the proton you first take into account the uncertainty principle, which is given by:

\Delta x \Delta p\geq \frac{h}{4\pi}      (1)

Δx : uncertainty of position = 2.0pm = 2.0*10^-12m

Δp: uncertainty of momentum = ?

h: Planck's constant = 6.626*10^-34 J.s

You calculate the minimum possible value of Δp from the equation (1):

\Delta p=\frac{h}{4\pi \Delta x}=\frac{6.626*10^{-34}J.s}{4\pi(2.0*10^{-12}m)}\\\\\Delta p=2.63*10^{-23}kg.\frac{m}{s}

The minimum kinetic energy is calculated by using the following formula:

k=\frac{(\Delta p)^2}{2m}       (2)

m: mass of the proton = 1.67*10^{-27}kg

k=\frac{(2.63*10^{-23}kgm/s)^2}{2(1.67*10^{-27}kg)}=2.08*10^{-19}J

in eV you have:

2.08*10^{-19}J*\frac{6.242*10^{18}eV}{1J}=1.29eV

The kinetic energy of the proton is 1.29eV
