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).

Answer:

6.060606...

Explanation:

To figure out velocity, you divide the distance by the time it takes to travel that same distance, then you add your direction to it. So the distance would be 1000m and the time would be 2 minutes and 45 seconds and if you convert the minutes into fractions you would get 165 seconds than you would divide 1000m by 165 seconds and you would get 6.060606... seconds as her average velocity

A large box slides across a frictionless surface with a velocity of 12 m/s and a mass of 4
denpristay [2]
Answer= 8m/s

Because total Momentum before= total momentum after

Momentum before (p=mu)
p=(4)(12)= 48
p=2(0)=0
So total momentum before=48

Momentum after (p=mu)
Masses combined —2+4=6kg
p=6u


Mb=Ma
48=6u
u=8m/s

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The first graph is showing the constant acceleration (1 m/s)

Explanation:

The second graph showing the flexible velocity therefore a in the graph is different at t1, t2, t3, t4

The last graph is showing constant velocity therefore there is no acceleration (a = 0)

The energy efficiency of a car is approximately 20%. If you put 10 gallons of gas into the car, how many gallons are “wasted”?
podryga [215]
First, you find what 20% of 10 gallons of gas would be. This will show how many gallons the car actually uses.
10 gallons x 20% =
10 x 0.20 =
2 gallons used

Then you subtract that number from the total 10 gallons to get how many gallons of gas would be wasted.
10 gallons - 2 gallons = 
8 gallons of gas wasted
