The acceleration due to gravity changes as we move away from Earth, and the expression for gravitational potential energy must reflect this change. The total energy of a system is the sum of kinetic and gravitational potential energy, and this total energy is conserved in orbital motion.

A student fills a tank of radius r with water to a height of h1 and pokes a small, 1.0 cm diameter hole at a distance h2 from th
Alik [6]

when a hole is made at the bottom of the container then water will flow out of it

The speed of ejected water can be calculated by help of Bernuolli's equation and Equation of continuity.

By Bernoulli's equation we can write

Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h = Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g *0

Now by equation of continuity

A_1v_1 = A_2v_2

\pi (0.2)^2 v_1 = \pi (0.01)^2 v_2

from above equation we can say that speed at the top layer is almost negligible.

v_1 = 0

now again by equation of continuity

\rho g h = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2

v = \sqrt{2 g h}

here we have

h = h_1 - h_2

h = 0.50 - 0.03 = 0.47m

now speed is given by

v = \sqrt{2* 9.8 * 0.47}

v = 3.03 m/s

What is the dimensional formula of thermal conductivity?​
Inga [223]

Answer:

The dimension of thermal conductivity is M1L1T−3Θ−1, expressed in terms of the dimensions mass (M), length (L), time (T), and temperature (Θ). Other units which are closely related to the thermal conductivity are in common use in the construction and textile industries.

In an eslastic ,the momentum is_______and the mechanical energy is​
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

In an elastic collision, the momentum is conserved and the mechanical energy is conserved too.

Explanation:

There are two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, the total momentum before and after the collision is conserved; also, the total mechanical energy before and after the collision is conserved.

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum before and after the colllision is conserved, while the total mechanical energy is not conserved (in fact, part of the energy is converted into other forms of energy such that thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces)
