Answer:

Option B. They use thermal updrafts to stay aloft

Explanation:

The sunlight warms the surface of the earth during noon and morning time and when this warming of the Earth's surface is not evenly done or uniform then this gives rise to the thermals. These are the rising air columns and rises when the air nearest to the earth heats up.

This is how some birds like vultures make use of the thermal updrafts to maintain flight.

Water enters a student's house 10.0 m above the ground through a pipe with a cross section area of 1.00 x 10-4m2 at ground. Insi

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

(a). V₁ = 10m/s (velocity inside the house), V₂ = 5m/s (velocity at ground level)

(b). P₂ = 236500 Pa

Explanation:

This is quite straight-forward so let us begin by defining the terms given.

Given that;

The cross-section area inside the student's house A₁ = 0.50 0.50 x 10-4m2.

Let us make the velocity of water inside the house be V₁

such that the Volume of water entering the per second is = A₁V₁

Therefore, in 90sec:

45 L = 90 A₁V₁

V₁ = 45 * 10⁻³m³ / 90*0.5*10⁻⁴

V₁ = 10m/s (velocity of water inside the house)

From the continuity equation we have that;

A₁V₁ = A₂V₂

0.5*10⁻⁴ * 10 = 1*10⁻⁴ V₂

V₂ = 5m/s (velocity at ground level)

(b). We are told to calculate the water pressure in the pipeline at the ground level.

Using Bernoulli's equation;

P₁ + pgh₁ + 1/2PV₁² (inside) = P₂ + pgh₂ + 1/2PV₂² (ground level)

1.01*10⁵ + 1000*9.8*10 + 1/2*1000*(10)² = P₂ + 0 + 1/2*1000*(5)²

P₂ (pressure) = 1.01*10⁵Pa

Therefore we have;

101000 + 98000 + 50000 = P₂ + 12500

P₂ = 236500 Pa

Solar system help please!

Kobotan [32]

When one body(sun) exerts a force on a second body(planet), the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the first body. Which makes the planet orbit in path C.

Hope this helps!!
