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 2 kg object with a weight of 20 N is being pulled up by a rope with a tension of 12N what is the acceleration of the object
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 2 kg

weigh of the object, W = 20 N

tension on the rope, T = 12 N

The acceleration of the object is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

T = F + W

T = ma + W

ma = T - W

a = \frac{T-W}{m} \\\\a = \frac{12 - 20}{2} \\\\a = -4 \ m/s^2 (the negative sign indicates deceleration of the object)

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

The sum of all forces acting on an object
Zina [86]

Answer:

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces, taking into account the fact that a force is a vector and two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction will cancel each other out.

If an electromagnetic wave has components Ey = E0 sin(kx - ωt) and Bz = B0 sin(kx - ωt), in what direction is it traveling?
fomenos

Answer:

Its traveling in the +x direction

Explanation:

The E-field is in the +y-direction, and the B-field is in the +z-direction, so it must be moving along the +x-direction, since the E-field, B-field and the direction of moving are all at right angles to each other.
