Two children, Ferdinand and Isabella, are playing with a waterhose on a sunny summer day. Isabella is holding the hose in herhan

d 1.0 meters above the ground and is trying to spray Ferdinand,who is standing 10.0 meters away. To increase the range of the water, Isabella places her thumb on the hose hole and partially covers it. Assuming that the flow remains steady, what fraction f of the cross-sectional area of the hose hole does she have to cover to be able to spray her friend? Assume that the cross section of the hose opening is circular with a radius of 1.5 centimeters. Express your answer as a percentage to the nearest integer.

Answer:

84%

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

y_0=1\ m

x = 10 m

t = Time taken

v_0 = 3.5 m/s (assumed, as it is not given)

A_0=\pi 1.5^2

We have the equation

y=y_0+ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow 0=y_0-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2y_0}{g}}\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.45152\ s

x=x_0+vt\\\Rightarrow 10=0+v0.45152\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{10}{0.45152}\\\Rightarrow v=22.14741\ m/s

From continuity equation we have

Av=A_0v_0\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{A_0v_0}{v}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\pi 1.5^2\times 3.5}{22.14741}\\\Rightarrow A=1.11706\ cm^2

Fraction is given by

f=\dfrac{A_0-A}{A_0}\times 100\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{\pi 1.5^2-1.11706}{\pi 1.5^2}\times 100\\\Rightarrow f=84.196\ \%\approx 84\ \%

The fraction is 84%

Gretchen runs the first 4.0 km of a race at 5.0 m/s. Then a stiff wind comes up, so she runs the last 1.0 km at only 4.0 m/s.

Answer:

The velocity is v = 4.76 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The first distance is   d_1  =  4.0 \ km  =  4000 \ m

   The  first speed  is  v_1 =  5.0 \ m/s

    The  second distance is  d_2  =  1.0 \ km  =  1000 \ m

    The  second speed  is  v_2  =  4.0 \ m/s

Generally the time taken for first distance is  

      t_1 =  \frac{d_1 }{v_1 }

        t_1 =  \frac{4000}{5}

       t_1 =  800 \ s

The time taken for second  distance is

           t_1 =  \frac{d_2 }{v_2 }

        t_1 =  \frac{1000}{4}

       t_1 =  250 \ s

The total time is mathematically represented as

     t =  t_1 + t_2

=>   t =  800 + 250

=>    t =  1050 \ s

Generally the constant velocity that would let her finish at the same time is mathematically represented as

      v =  \frac{d_1 + d_2}{t }

=>    v =  \frac{4000 + 1000}{1050 }

=>    v = 4.76 \ m/s

How are volcanoes distributed
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Volcanic activity is widespread over the earth, but tends to be concentrated in specific locations. Volcanoes are most likely to occur along the margins of tectonic plates, especially in subduction zones where oceanic plates dive under continental plates. As the oceanic plate subducts beneath the surface, intense heat and pressure melts the rock. Molten rock material, magma, can then ooze its way toward the surface where it accumulates at the surface to create a volcano. Volcanic activity can be found along the Mid-ocean ridge system as well. Here, oceanic plates are diverging and magma spreads across the ocean floor, ultimately being exposed at the surface. Crustal spreading long the ridge is partly responsible for the volcanic activity of Iceland. It is also thought that a "hot spot" lies beneath the island that contributes to volcanism.
