When an object is dropped, tossed, or kicked, as long as it is not laying on the ground, it accelerates downward, because of the force of gravity acting on it.

Water enters a typical garden hose of diameter 0.016 m with a velocity of 3 m/s. Calculate the exit velocity of water from the g
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

v₂ = 306.12 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the volume flow rate of the water or any in-compressible liquid remains constant throughout motion. Therefore, from continuity equation, we know that:

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where,

A₁ = Area of entrance pipe = πd₁²/4 = π(0.016 m)²/4 = 0.0002 m²

v₁ = entrance velocity = 3 m/s

A₂ = Area of nozzle = πd₂²/4 = π(0.005 m)²/4 = 0.0000196 m²

v₂ = exit velocity = ?

Therefore,

(0.0002 m²)(3 m/s) = (0.0000196 m²)v₂

v₂ = (0.006 m³/s)/(0.0000196 m²)

<u>v₂ = 306.12 m/s</u>

When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a 5.0 mA current flows through it. If this metal wire is now repl
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

I = 21.13 mA ≈ 21 mA

Explanation:

If

I₁ = 5 mA

L₁ = L₂ = L

V₁ = V₂ = V

ρ₁ = 1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

ρ₂ = 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

D₁ = D

D₂ = 2D

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

If we apply the equation

R = ρ*L / S

where (using Ohm's Law):

R = V / I

we have

V / I = ρ*L / S

If V and L are the same

V / L =  ρ*I / S

then

(V / L)₁ = (V / L)₂  ⇒     ρ₁*I₁ / S₁ = ρ₂*I₂ / S₂

If

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²   and

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

we have

ρ₁*I₁ / (0.25*π*D²) = ρ₂*I₂ / (π*D²)

⇒    I₂ = 4*ρ₁*I₁ / ρ₂

⇒     I₂ = 4*1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m*5 mA / 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

⇒     I₂ = 21.13 mA

Starting from rest, a 2.1x10^-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exert
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

a) The flea's speed when it leaves the ground is v=1.88m/s

b) The flea move 18cm upward while it is pushing off

Explanation:

Hi

<u>Knwons</u>

Mass m=2.1\times 10^{-4} kg, Work W=3.7\times 10^{-4} J and Force F=0.41N

a) Here we are going to use W=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}, so v=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m} }= \sqrt{\frac{2(3.7\times 10^{-4} J)}{2.1\times 10^{-4} kg} }=1.88m/s

a) Here we are going to use W=mgh, so h=\frac{W}{mg}= \frac{3.7\times 10^{-4} J}{(2.1\times 10^{-4} kg)(9.8m/s^{2})} =0,1797m or 18cm approx.

If tides occur twice a day in most places. How much time is there between a morning high tide and the next high tide?
algol13

About 12 hours is the time between a morning high tide and the next high tide

Explanation:

The Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal bulges  

The “periodic rise and fall” of the surface water levels of the ocean is called tides. The gravitational action and interaction on the earth by the sun and the moon causes these tides. Different regions of the World experiences different patterns of tides like the diurnal, semi-diurnal etc.

When there is one high and one low tide occurring on a lunar day, then it is diurnal pattern. Semi-diurnal pattern occurs when there are two equal high and low tides on a single lunar day.

Since the Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal “bulges” on each lunar day, the coastal areas can experience two high and two low tides in every 24 hours plus 50 minutes.

Accordingly the time between two high tides would be 12 hours plus 25 minutes. Similarly, the time gap between a high to low tide would be 6 hours plus 12.5 minutes.

Put the following words in order from smallest to largest: atoms, matter, elements
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Matter, atoms, elements.

Explanation:

Matter is just a name for anything that has mass and takes up space. Therefore, atoms are larger than matter. Atoms are the smallest bits of an element that <em>are</em><em> </em><em>still</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>element</em>, so, elements would be bigger than the atoms that come together to create them!

Hope this helps!
