Answer:
A siphon is a tube that makes use of the potential energy of fluid at an elevated level to transfer the fluid to a lower level, due to pressure differences between the inlet and the outlet points of the tube, such that the pressure at the outlet is higher than the pressure at the inlet
The pressure energy is converted into velocity (kinetic) energy, and therefore, in other to increase the flow rate through the tube of a siphon, with constant diameter, the level of the fluid in the container at the inlet (supply) of the siphon is raised higher than the level at the outlet receiving) container or the outlet point of the siphon tube
The larger the difference between the inlet and outlet levels, the faster the transfer of fluid by the siphon
Explanation:
A) position time graph for both is shown
here one of the graph is of lesser slope which means it is moving with less speed while other have larger slope which shows larger speed
At one point they intersects which is the point where they both will meet
B) Let the two will meet after time "t"
now we can say that
if they both will meet after time "t"
then the total distance moved by you and other person will be same as the distance between you and home
so it is given as
so they will meet after t = 6 min
so from position time graph we can see that two will meet after t = 6 min where at this position two graphs will intersect
