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 car starts from rest and undergoes an acceleration of 4.0 m/s/s for a time of 5.0 s. What is the final velocity of the car?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

20m/s

Explanation:

acceleration=final velocity-initial velocity/time

4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s/5.0sec

5.0sec×4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s×5.0m/s/5.0m/s

20m/s=v

Explain two reasons why astronomers are continually building larger and larger telescopes. Explain two reasons why astronomers a
Sergio [31]

Answer:

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* arger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

Explanation:

Refracting telescopes get bigger every day for two main reasons.

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* the diffraction process for circular apertures is given by

               θ = 1.22 λ / D

where d is the diameter of the mirror, therefore having larger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

9.58 A spring of equilibrium length L1 and spring constant k1 hangs from the ceiling. Mass m1 is suspended from its lower end. T
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The distance of m2 from the ceiling is L1 +L2 + m1g/k1 + m2g/k1 + m2g/k2.

See attachment below for full solution

Explanation:

This is so because the the attached mass m1 on the spring causes the first spring to stretch by a distance of m1g/k1 (hookes law). This plus the equilibrium lengtb of the spring gives the position of the mass m1 from the ceiling. The second mass mass m2 causes both springs 1 and 2 to stretch by an amout proportional to its weight just like above. The respective stretchings are m2g/k1 for spring 1 and m2g/k2 for spring 2. These plus the position of m1 and the equilibrium length of spring 2 L2 gives the distance of L2 from the ceiling.

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

a = 0.1962 m/s^2

Explanation:

The magnitude of kinetic friction exerted is given by

F_k=\mu_kN

Where, μ_k= coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.02 and N = reaction force = mg

Where m= mass = 30 Kg and, g is acceleration due to gravity =9.81 m/s^2

F_k=0.02×30×9.81 =5.886 N

Now, since, there is no applied force this kinetic friction force will cause acceleration of the child

⇒ ma = F_k

here, a is the acceleration

⇒30a = 5.886

⇒ a = 0.1962 m/s^2
