Water is flowing in a pipe with a circular cross section but with varying cross-sectional area, and at all points the water comp

letely fills the pipe.
(a) At one point in the pipe the radius is 0.260 m. What is the speed of the water at this point if water is flowing into this pipe at a steady rate of 1.20 m^3/s?
(b) At a second point in the pipe the water speed is 3.60 m/s. What is the radius of the pipe at this point?

(a) 5.66 m/s

The flow rate of the water in the pipe is given by

Q=Av

where

Q is the flow rate

A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe

v is the speed of the water

Here we have

Q=1.20 m^3/s

the radius of the pipe is

r = 0.260 m

So the cross-sectional area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.260 m)^2=0.212 m^2

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the water:

v=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{1.20 m^3/s}{0.212 m^2}=5.66 m/s

(b) 0.326 m

The flow rate along the pipe is conserved, so we can write:

Q_1 = Q_2\\A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2

where we have

A_1 = 0.212 m^2\\v_1 = 5.66 m/s\\v_2 = 3.60 m/s

and where A_2 is the cross-sectional area of the pipe at the second point.

Solving for A2,

A_2 = \frac{A_1 v_1}{v_2}=\frac{(0.212 m^2)(5.66 m/s)}{3.60 m/s}=0.333 m^2

And finally we can find the radius of the pipe at that point:

A_2 = \pi r_2^2\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{A_2}{\pi}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.333 m^2}{\pi}}=0.326 m

a person dives off the edge of aa cliff 33m above the surface of the sea. assuming that air resistance is negligible, how long d
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The time is t = 2.595 \  s

The speed is v = 25.43 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The height of the cliff is  h =  33 \  m

 Generally from kinematic equation we have that

       h  =  ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

before the jump the persons initial velocity is  u =  0 m/s

 So

        33   =  0 * t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 * t^2

=>      t = 2.595 \  s

Generally from kinematic equation

     v= u + gt

=>  v= 0 + 9.8 * 2.595

=>  v = 25.43 \ m/s

Two machines do thae same may have different power why
marissa [1.9K]

The quantity work has to do with a force causing a displacement. Work has nothing to do with the amount of time that this force acts to cause the displacement. Sometimes, the work is done very quickly and other times the work is done rather slowly. For example, a rock climber takes an abnormally long time to elevate her body up a few meters along the side of a cliff. On the other hand, a trail hiker (who selects the easier path up the mountain) might elevate her body a few meters in a short amount of time. The two people might do the same amount of work, yet the hiker does the work in considerably less time than the rock climber. The quantity that has to do with the rate at which a certain amount of work is done is known as the power. The hiker has a greater power rating than the rock climber.

Power is the rate at which work is done. It is the work/time ratio. Mathematically, it is computed using the following equation.


Power = Work / time


or


P = W / t

A 2.00-kg rock has a horizontal velocity of magnitude 12.0 m>s when it is at point P in Fig. E10.35. (a) At this instant, wha
zaharov [31]

Answer:

(A) L = 115.3kgm²/s

(B) dL/dt = 94.1kgm²/s²

Explanation:

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the rock is given by the foemula

L = mvrSinθ

We have been given θ = 36.9°, m = 2.0kg, v = 12.0m/s and r = 8.0m.

Therefore L = 2.00 × 12 × 8.0 × Sin 36.9° =

115.3 kgm²/s

(B) The magnitude of the rate of angular change in momentum is given by

dL /dt = d(mvrSinθ)/dt = mgrSinθ = 2.00 × 9.8 × 8.0× Sin36.9 = 94.1kgm²/s²
