Answer:

0.01 m/s^2.

Explanation:

The formula for acceleration is Δ velocity/ Δ time or change in velocity/change in time. We can see find the change in velocity by subtracting v0 (initial velocity) from v (current velocity). v - v0 = 80.3 m/s - 80.1 m/s = 0.2 m/s. The change in time is already given, 20 seconds, so all you have to do is divide 0.2 m/s by 20 seconds to get 0.01 m/s^2.

Explain why glucose is important to a cell

ELEN [110]

Glucose is important to plants because it is a source of energy that can be converted into other components like starch or cellulose; these components are necessary forcell structures such as the cell walls and for the plant's development.Glucose is also necessary for respiration in plants.

marusya05 [52]

An electromagnet is a device which uses a current and passes this through a conductor. The current induces a magnetic field in the conductor, making the conductor a magnet. In order to remove the effects of this magnetism, the device may have its electrical power cut off. Therefore, the way to drop the staples in the bin would be to remove the battery.

The continuity equation shows that the ratio of fluid velocities within different openings is inversely proportional to the cros

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

A typical example of where the continuity equation can be applied, is in finding the cross sectional area of a laminar falling stream of water from a pipe at an elevation, at the point where it hits the ground.

The speed of the water through the discharge opening of the pipe can be measured with a flow-meter, and the cross sectional opening of the pipe is known.

As the water leaves the pipe, and falls towards the ground, the water stream is accelerated under gravity, and the speed of the water stream increase. The increase in the speed of the water stream causes the cross sectional area to decrease in obedience of the continuity law and equation. If the speed of can be measured, then the area of the water stream just before the water touches the ground can be calculated from the continuity equation.

If the speed of the water stream can not be measured, then it can be calculated using Newton' equation of motion

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2gz$

$v = \sqrt{u^{2} + 2gz}$

where

v = the velocity of the water stream at the point where it hits the ground

u = the velocity of the water at the pipe discharge (measured with a flow meter in the pipe)

g = acceleration due to gravity

z = the elevation of the pipe above the ground.

After calculating the speed of the water stream at the point where it hits the ground, the cross sectional area of the the stream can be calculated from the continuity equation.

$uA = va$

where

u and v are the velocities of the water stream at the pipe discharge and at the ground respectively.

A = the cross sectional area of the pipe

a = the area of the water stream before it hits the ground.

the equation is simplified as

$a = \frac{uA}{v}$
