While walking past a construction site, a person notices a pipe sticking out of a second floor window with water pouring out. As

the water flows to the ground, it speeds up due to the effect of gravity. How does the diameter of the flowing stream of water change as it descends? Assuming that the flow remains laminar, its diameter decreases. stays the same. increases.

Answer:

The flow diameter decreases.

Explanation:

From continuity equation,

Q = AV = constant

Where A is the area of the pipe which is proportional to its diameter.

V is the velocity of flow of fluid.

Q is the flow rate.

Let us consider the flow rate through the pipe. Assuming a steady state flow, if the velocity should increase, then the diameter will decrease.

For the flow leaving the pipe and descending to the floor, the flow is accelerated under gravity as it leaves the pipe. This acceleration causes its velocity to increase and consequently causing a reduction in the flow area. The result is the narrowing of the water that flows towards the floor (provided the flow remains laminar).

a microwave uses a 14 a of electricity if 120 v is run through it what is the resistance of the microwave
Airida [17]
Resistance = voltage / current.

That's. 120v / 14A = 8.57 ohms.

By the way, voltage doesn't "run through" anything. Current does. That would be the 14 Amps.

Lindsay is planning a flight from St. Catharines to Hamilton, which lies due west of St. Catharines. Her aircraft flies at a spe
olga nikolaevna [1]

Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction [W 12.5° S] to get to Hamilton.

From this question, the plane is still up in the air.

We have wind blowing in [W 60° N ]

To solve the problem we have to make use of the sine rule

\frac{SinA}{a}=\frac{SinB}{b} =\frac{SinC}{c}

We put the values in the equation, we have:

50/Sinθ = 200/sin60°

The next step is to cross multiply

50 x sin60° = 200Sinθ

50 x 0.8660 = 200sinθ

We make Sin θ the subject

Sine θ = 43.30/200

sine θ = 0.2165

we find the value of θ

θ = sine⁻¹(0.2165)

θ = 12.50

So Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction

[W 12.5° S]
