Answer: D

Explanation:

Use equation for work:

W=F*s

W=40J

s=4m

-------------

W=F*s

F=W/s

F=40J/4m

F=10N

Natalia lifts a bag of groceries 0.50 m by exerting a force of 36 N. How much work did she do on the bag?

Kruka [31]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

18 Joules

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Work is the measures the transfer of energy when an object moves over a given distance.</u></em>

Work is therefore given by; Force × distance

Force =36 Newtons

Distance = 0.5 meters

Hence; <em>work = 36 N × 0.5 N</em>

<em> = 18 Joules </em>

Find p1, the gauge pressure at the bottom of tube 1. (Gauge pressure is the pressure in excess of outside atmospheric pressure.)

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

(a). The gauge pressure at the bottom of tube 1 is $P_{1}=\rho g h_{1}$

(b). The speed of the fluid in the left end of the main pipe $\sqrt{\dfrac{2g(h_{2}-h_{1})}{(1-(\gamma)^2)}}$

Explanation:

Given that,

Gauge pressure at bottom = p₁

Suppose, an arrangement with a horizontal pipe carrying fluid of density p . The fluid rises to heights h1 and h2 in the two open-ended tubes (see figure). The cross-sectional area of the pipe is A1 at the position of tube 1, and A2 at the position of tube 2.

Find the speed of the fluid in the left end of the main pipe.

(a). We need to calculate the gauge pressure at the bottom of tube 1

Using bernoulli equation

$P_{1}=\rho g h_{1}$

(b). We need to calculate the speed of the fluid in the left end of the main pipe

Using bernoulli equation

Pressure for first pipe,

$P_{1}=\rho gh_{1}$ .....(I)

Pressure for second pipe,

$P_{2}=\rho gh_{2}$ .....(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

$P_{2}-P_{1}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho(v_{1}^2-v_{2}^2)$

Put the value of P₁ and P₂

$\rho g h_{2}-\rho g h_{1}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho(v_{1}^2-v_{2}^2)$

$gh_{2}-gh_{1}=\dfrac{1}{2}(v_{1}^2-v_{2}^2)$

$2g(h_{2}-h_{1})=v_{1}^2-v_{2}^2$ ....(III)

We know that,

The continuity equation

$v_{1}A_{1}=v_{2}A_{2}$

$v_{2}=v_{1}(\dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}})$

Put the value of v₂ in equation (III)

$2g(h_{2}-h_{1})=v_{1}^2-(v_{1}(\dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}))^2$

$2g(h_{2}-h_{1})=v_{1}^2(1-(\dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}))^2$

Here, $\dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=\gamma$

So, $2g(h_{2}-h_{1})=v_{1}^2(1-(\gamma)^2)$

$v_{1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2g(h_{2}-h_{1})}{(1-(\gamma)^2)}}$

Hence, (a). The gauge pressure at the bottom of tube 1 is $P_{1}=\rho g h_{1}$

(b). The speed of the fluid in the left end of the main pipe $\sqrt{\dfrac{2g(h_{2}-h_{1})}{(1-(\gamma)^2)}}$

Mutt and Jeff are running along a path each pushing a cart loaded with rocks. If Mutt's wagon has a mass two times greater than

maria [59]

Force is directly proportional to mass according to the second law of Newton, meaning that the greater the mass is, bigger the force should be in order to move the object. In this case, Mutt's wagon has a mass two times greater than Jeff's and they have to be equal. So either Jeff must slow down twice as much or Mutt has to speed up twice as much. The only option we can choose according to our reasoning is that Mutt must use twice as much force to push his cart, because his mass is two times bigger. According to me the answer is C).
