Answer:

Explanation:

The answer is simple: Gravity. Like all objects, a stream of water also accelerates as it falls. Since the density of water is a constant, and water tends to hold together (cohesion), the only thing that can happen is the narrowing of the stream -- which is exactly what happens.

Assuming no friction, how does the initial gravitational potential energy of

babymother [125]

Answer:

a) They are the same.

Explanation:

Assuming no friction, there should be no energy transfer and thus the Law of Conservation of Energy says:

$PE=KE,\\mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

These types of problems also disregard any air resistance the surface of the object may cause. Therefore, no energy is transferred and from the Law of Conservation of Energy, $100\%$ of energy is preserved.

What is the speed in km/min of a skater who travels a distance of 210 m in a time of 30 seconds

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: 0.42 km/min

Explanation:

total distance traveled(in meters) = 210m

total distance traveled(in km) = 210 ÷ 1000 = 0.21 km

total time taken(in seconds) = 30 s

total time taken(in minutes) = 30 ÷ 60 = 0.5 s

speed =(distance traveled)÷(time taken)[in km/min] = 0.21 ÷ 0.5 = 0.42km/min
