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

what is the potential energy of the ball when it gets to its maximum height just before falling back to the ground​
love history [14]

Answer:

I will say that the the potential energy will be at its maximum.

Explanation:

potential energy deals with gravity and gravity deals with height, so when a object is in its maximum height it will have the maximum potential energy.

We see a full moon by reflected sunlight. how much earlier did the light that enters our eye leave the sun
galina1969 [7]
We know that the source of light in the universe is the Sun. Hence, the light we see as moonlight travels from the Sun's surface, to the moon, then to Earth. So, before being able to solve this problem, we have to know the distance between the Sun and the moon, and the distance between the moon and Earth. In literature, these values are 3.8×10⁵ km (Sun to moon) and 384,400 km (moon to Earth). Knowing that the speed of light is 300,000 km per second, then the total time would be

Time = distance/speed
Time = (3.8×10⁵ km + 384,400 km)/300,000 km/s
Time = 2.548 seconds

Thus, it only takes 2.548 for the light from the Sun to reach to the Earth as perceived to be what we call moonlight.

The helicopter was deformed and destroyed in the __?___ collision.
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The helicopter was deformed and destroyed in the inelastic collision.

Explanation:

  • When two object collide there exist two way of colliding: elastic collision and inelastic collision.
  • Two terms are considered during the collision: kinetic energy and momentum.
  • If both of these terms are conserved in any collision then there is no significant loss of property, this is called as elastic collision.
  • If only momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is converted into other forms then it is inelastic collision. In inelastic collision, the energy is lost in the form of vibration, sound etc. causing the damage to colliding object.
  • Hence the deformation of helicopter was due to inelastic collision.

How can you make your motor run in reverse? make sure to try it?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
We are asked in what manner can one make the motor run in reverse. One way to do so is to flip the magnet on the other side so that the opposite charge faces to the motor. The magnetic field induced by the magnet to the motor results to a reactive force opposite to the induced motion.
