Answer:

v₂ = 16 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the continuity equation, which is as follows:

A_1v_1 = A_2v_2\\

where,

A₁ = Area of inlet = πd²/4

A₂ = Area of outlet = π(d/2)²/4 = πd²/16

v₁ = velocity at inlet = 4 m/s

v₂ = velocity at outlet = ?

Therefore,

(\frac{\pi d^2}{4})(4\ m/s)=(\frac{\pi d^2}{16})v_2\\\\

<u>v₂ = 16 m/s</u>

It is difficult to observe 1-nanometer, 1 millimeter, and 100 meter radiation with ground-based telescopes. What are the reasons
Paul [167]

Explanation:

1 nano-meter radiations are very difficult to observe from the ground based telescope because most of this range of radiation is absorbed through ozone layer. A very small amount of this range escape out of the ozone layer. This remaining few radiations are very difficult to track from the ground base telescope.

1 millimeter range of radiation comprises of infrared. It has range from 710 nano-meter to 1 millimeter. Infrared radiation can be easily absorbed from water and carbon di oxide molecules present in the atmosphere. So, it is absorbed by water and carbon di oxide molecules in the atmosphere. Thus, it is difficult to observe from the ground based telescope.

100 meter radiations are are radio-waves. The charged particle present in the uppermost layer of atmosphere absorbs these radio waves. So, these waves are absorbed by charged particle in the upper atmosphere. Thus, it is difficult to observe from the ground based telescope.

Many people believe that a vacuum created inside a
pashok25 [27]

Answer:Due to the pressure difference created by rotating fans.

Explanation:

In most of the  vacuum cleaners, there is an area which is of disc shape and it is in right next to the motor. There are several fans within the disc that spin at a very high velocity.

The blades will push the air outside of the disk.There is no air in inside of the disc and  air pressure creates which  pushes air inside the disk to replace the missing air.

So motor is pushing the air outside and to maintain this pressure the air is pushing toward inside with dirt.

Atoms in a solid are in continuous vibrational motion due to thermal energy. At room temperature, the amplitude of these atomic
Bingel [31]

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Amplitude of atomic vibrations (λ) = 10⁻⁹ cm = 10⁻⁹ × 10⁻² m = 10⁻¹¹ m [1 cm = 10⁻² m]

Frequency of the vibrations (f) = 10¹² Hz

In order to find the atom's maximum speed, we need to make use of the formula that relates speed, frequency and wavelength of the vibration.

Therefore, the formula for maximum speed is given as:

v=f\lambda

Now, plug in the values given and solve for speed 'v'. This gives,

v=(10^{12}\ Hz)(10^{-11}\ m)\\\\v=10^{12-11}\ m/s\\v=10\ m/s

Therefore, the atom's maximum speed due to thermal energy provided is 10 m/s.

How much work is done if a 50N weight is lifted to a height of 10m? ​
borishaifa [10]

500J  

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the body = 50N

Height = 10m

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Solution;

Work done is the force that moves a body through a particular distance in the direction of the force.

In this problem, we can solve the problem by relating work done to the potential energy used in lifting the mass.

  The weight on a body, a force in the presence of gravity

         weight(weight) = mg

  where m = mass of body

              g = acceleration due to gravity

  Work done = Fxd

   Where F = force on the body

               d = distance moved

Potential energy = mgh

    where h is the height

     P.E = work done =  Weight x height = 50 x 10 = 500J
