A man attaches a divider to an outdoor faucet so that water flows through a single pipe of radius 9.25 mm into four pipes, each

with a radius of 5.00 mm. If water flows through the single pipe at 1.45 m/s, calculate the speed (in m/s) of the water in the narrower pipes.

Answer:

1.24 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

9.25 mm = 0.00925 m

5 mm = 0.005 m

The volume rate that flow through the single pipe is

\dot{V} = vA = 1.45 * \pi * 0.00925^2 = 0.00039 m^3/s

This volume rate should be constant and divided into the 4 narrower pipes, each of them would have a volume rate of

\dot{V_n} = \dot{V} / 4 = 0.00039 / 4 = 9.74\times10^{-5} m^3/s

So the flow speed of each of the narrower pipe is:

v_n = \frac{\dot{V_n}}{A_n} = \frac{\dot{V_n}}{\pi r_n^2}

v_n = \frac{9.74\times10^{-5}}{\pi 0.005^2} = 1.24 m/s

A 56 kg diver runs and dives from the edge of a cliff into the water which is located 4.0 m below. If she is moving at 8.0 m/s t
Reil [10]

Answer:

1) 2197.44 J

2) 0 J

3) 2197.44 J = Constant

4) 2197.44 J

5) Approximately 8.86 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the diver, m = 56 kg

The height of the cliff, h = 4.0 m

The speed with which the diver is moving, vₓ = 8.0 m/s

The gravitational potential energy = Mass, m × Height of the cliff, h × Acceleration due to gravity, g

1) Her gravitational potential energy = 56 × 4.0 × 9.81 = 2197.44 J

2) The kinetic energy = 1/2·m·u²

Where;

u = Her initial velocity = 0 when she just leaves the cliff

Therefore;

Her kinetic energy when she just leaves the cliff = 1/2 × 56 × 0² = 0 J

3) The total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

The total mechanical energy is constant

Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface when she leaves the cliff = Her gravitational potential energy = 2197.44 J = Constant

4) Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface just before she enters the water = 2197.44 J

5) The speed with which she enters the water, v, is given from, v² = u² + 2·g·h

Where;

u = The initial velocity at the top of the cliff before she jumps= 0 m/s

∴ v² = 0² + 2 × 9.81 × 4 = 78.48

v = √78.48 ≈ 8.86 m/s

The speed with which she enters the water, v ≈ 8.86 m/s

You can look at groups in the same group (the columns), since they tend to have similar properties. For example, the alkali metals in group one react aggressively with water and form white compounds.

Calculate the speed of body moving a distance of 320km in 4h
ololo11 [35]
Convert km to m. -> 320km=320000 m
Convert hours to seconds -> 4 hrs=14400 s
Divide the distance by time because v=d/t
320000/14400=22.22 m/s
