A force causes a mass of 4 kg to have an acceleration of 8 m/s2. Suppose something causes the mass to be one-quarter of its orig

inal amount. What will happen to the acceleration if the amount of force used remains the same?

Explanation:

From Newton's second law:

F = ma

Given that m = 4 kg and a = 8 m/s²:

F = (4 kg) (8 m/s²)

F = 32 N

If m is reduced to 1 kg and F stays at 32 N:

32 N = (1 kg) a

a = 32 m/s²

So the acceleration increases by a factor of 4.

According to Oxford Dictionaries, a spit take is an act of suddenly spitting out liquid one is drinking in response to something

Tasya [4]

Answer:

The pressure is $p_1 = 4051.4 \ Pa$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The gauge pressure at the mouth is $p_1$

The radius of the column is $r_2 = 4 \ mm = 0.004 \ m$

The speed of the liquid outside the body is $v_2 = 3.1 \ m/s$

The area of the column is $A_2$

The area inside the mouth $A_1 = 10 A_2$

Generally according to continuity equation

$v_1 A_1 = v_2 A_2$

=> $v_ 1 = v_2 * \frac{A_2}{A_1}$

=> $v_ 1 = 3.1 * \frac{1}{10}$

=> $v_ 1 = 0.31 \ m/s$

So

$A_1 = 10A_2$

=> $\pi * r_1^2 = 10(\pi * r_2^2)$

=> $r_1 = 10 * r_2$

substituting values

$r_1 = 10 * 0.004$

$r_1 =0.04 \ m$

Now the height of inside the mouth is $h_1 = d = 2r_1 = 2* 0.04 = 0.08\ m$

Now the height of the column is $h_2 = d = 2r_2 = 2* 0.004 = 0.008\ m$

Generally according to Bernoulli's equation

$p_1 = [\frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2 + h_2 \rho g +p_2] -[\frac{1}{2} \rho * v_1^2 + h_1 \rho g ]$

Now $\rho = 1000 \ kg m^{-3}$ which is the density of water

$p_2$ is the gauge pressure of the atmosphere which is zero

So

$p_1 = [(0.5 * 1000 * (3.1)^2) +(0.008 * 1000 * 9.8) + 0]-$

$[(0.5 * 1000 * 0.31^2) + (0.08*1000 * 9.8)]$

$p_1 = 4051.4 \ Pa$
