Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Pressure is always inversely proportional to the cross section area

This can be proven from the equation P = F/A

Where P = Pressure, F = Force and A = Cross-sectional area

This can also be similarly proven from the continuity equation given as

A₁V₁ = A₂V₂

Where A₁ = Area in first part of pipe (point A)

A₂ = Area in second part of pipe (point B)

V₁ = Velocity of water in first part of pipe (point A)

V₂ = Velocity of water in second part of pipe (point B)

From the continuity equation we can have that

V₁/V₂ = A₂/A₁

Thus the velocity of the liquid at any point in the pipe is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the pipe. The liquid will be moving  slowly where the area is large and will be moving rapidly where the area  is small, and since the velocity is directly proportional to the force (F = m × v/t)which id in turn directly proportional to the pressure (P = F/A), this proves my answer to be True!

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet
nevsk [136]
The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

<em>Thus, the answer is D.</em>

A stone dropped from the top of a building reaches the ground with a velocity of 49ms¹. If the acceleration due to gravity is 9.
bezimeni [28]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 49 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

49 m/s = (9.8 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 5 s
