You wad up a piece of paper and throw it into the wastebasket. How far will
2 answers:
The range of the piece of paper is C) 1.4 m
Explanation:
The motion of the piece of paper is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:
- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant velocity
- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with constant acceleration (the acceleration of gravity, )
From the equation of motion, it is possible to find an expression for the range (the total horizontal distance covered) of a projectile, which is given by:
where
u is the initial velocity
is the angle of projection
g is the acceleration of gravity
For the piece of paper in this problem,
u = 4.3 m/s
Substituting,

Given,
The initial inside diameter of the pipe, d₁=4.50 cm=0.045 m
The initial speed of the water, v₁=12.5 m/s
The diameter of the pipe at a later position, d₂=6.25 cm=0.065 m
From the continuity equation,
Where A₁ is the area of the cross-section at the initial position, A₂ is the area of the cross-section of the pipe at a later position, and v₂ is the flow rate of the water at the later position.
On substituting the known values,
Thus, the flow rate of the water at the later position is 5.99 m/s
