Water, which we can treat as ideal and incompressible, flows at 12 m/s in a horizontal pipe with a pressure of 3.0 x 10^4 Pa. If

the pipe widens to twice its original radius, what is the pressure in the wider section?

Answer:

p2 = 9.8×10^4 Pa

Explanation:

Total pressure is constant and PT = P = 1/2×ρ×v^2  

So p1 + 1/2×ρ×(v1)^2 = p2 + 1/2×ρ×(v2)^2

from continuity we have ρ×A1×v1 = ρ×A2×v2  

v2 = v1×A1/A2  

and  

r2 = 2×r1

then:

A2 = 4×A1  

so,

v2 = (v1)/4  

then:

p2 = p1 + 1/2×ρ×(v1)^2 - 1/2×ρ×(v2)^2 = p1 + 1/2×ρ×(v1)^2 - 1/2×ρ×(v1/4)^2  

p2 = 3.0×10^4 Pa + 1/2×(1000 kg/m^3)×(12m/s)^2 - 1/2×(1000kg/m^3)×(12^2/16)  

     = 9.75×10^4 Pa

    = 9.8×10^4 Pa

Therefore, the pressure in the wider section is 9.8×10^4 Pa

pashok25 [27]
I think the correct answer would be that the temperature of the clouds that made the very first stars where thought to be higher since the clouds are made up of hydrogen and helium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

How was the gravitational constant G first determined
Oliga [24]
<span>In equation form, this is often expressed as follows: The constant of proportionality in this equation is G - the universal gravitation constant. The value of G was not experimentally determined until nearly a century later (1798) by Lord Henry Cavendish using a torsion balance.</span>

Because it increases cardiorespiratory fitness and means that one has a strong heart and circulatory system. This results in being able to avoid heart disease and other dangerous diseases or disorders. Additionally, exercise can help our mental health along with maintaining weight and staying physically healthy.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum to know velocity after collision . Let it be v .

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

15 x 1.5 - 12 x .75 = ( 15 + 12 ) v

v = .5 m /s

kinetic energy before collision

1/2 x 15 x 1.5² + 1/2 x 12 x .75²

= 16.875 + 3.375

= 20.25 J

kinetic energy after collision

= 1/2 x ( 15 + 12 ) x .5²

= 3.375 J

Loss of energy = 16.875 J

This energy appear as heat and sound energy that is produced during collision .
