Answer:
v = 12.4 [m/s]
Explanation:
With the speed and Area information, we can determine the volumetric flow.

where:
r = radius = 0.0120 [m]
v = 2.88 [m/s]
![A=\pi *(0.0120)^{2} \\A=4.523*10^{-4} [m]\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cpi%20%2A%280.0120%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%5C%5CA%3D4.523%2A10%5E%7B-4%7D%20%5Bm%5D%5C%5C)
Therefore the flow is:
![V=2.88*4.523*10^{-4} \\V=1.302*10^{-3} [m^{3}/s ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V%3D2.88%2A4.523%2A10%5E%7B-4%7D%20%5C%5CV%3D1.302%2A10%5E%7B-3%7D%20%5Bm%5E%7B3%7D%2Fs%20%5D)
Despite the fact that you cover the inlet with the finger, the volumetric flow rate is the same.
![v=V/A\\v=1.302*10^{-3} /1.05*10^{-4} \\v=12.4[m/s]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v%3DV%2FA%5C%5Cv%3D1.302%2A10%5E%7B-3%7D%20%2F1.05%2A10%5E%7B-4%7D%20%5C%5Cv%3D12.4%5Bm%2Fs%5D)
Something is reproducing.
Gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula <span>PE = m × g × h, where g is the gravitational acceleration and is constant hence the energy is dependent directly to mass and the height of the object. Hence more PE is registered when the object is heavier and/or at greater initial height. </span>
