Answer:

31.6 m/s

Explanation:

Mass is conserved, so the mass flow at the outlet of the pump equals the mass flow at the nozzle.

m₁ = m₂

ρQ₁ = ρQ₂

Q₁ = Q₂

v₁A₁ = v₂A₂

v₁ πd₁²/4 = v₂ πd₂²/4

v₁ d₁² = v₂ d₂²

Now use Bernoulli equation:

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂

Since h₁ = 0 and P₂ = 0:

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² = ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂

Writing v₁ in terms of v₂:

P₁ + ½ ρ (v₂ d₂²/d₁²)² = ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂

P₁ + ½ ρ (d₂/d₁)⁴ v₂² = ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂

P₁ − ρgh₂ = ½ ρ (1 − (d₂/d₁)⁴) v₂²

Plugging in values:

579,160 Pa − (1000 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(15 m) = ½ (1000 kg/m³) (1 − (1.99 in / 3.28 in)⁴) v₂²

v₂ = 31.6 m/s

how do i.... Find the angle between each pair of vectors below. (1 point each) a. a = 2x + 3y a = 4x + 2y

Shalnov [3]

Recall that the dot product between two vectors $\mathbf a$ and $\mathbf b$ satisfies

$\mathbf a\cdot\mathbf b=\|\mathbf a\|\|\mathbf b\|\cos\theta$

where $\|\mathbf x\|$ denotes the norm of a vector $\mathbf x$ , and $\theta$ is the angle between the two vectors.

So if $\mathbf a=(2,3)$ and $\mathbf b=(4,2)$ , then

$(2,3)\cdot(4,2)=\|(2,3)\|\|(4,2)\|\cos\theta$

$\implies2\cdot4+3\cdot2=\sqrt{2^2+3^2}\sqrt{4^2+2^2}\cos\theta$

$\implies\cos\theta=\dfrac{14}{\sqrt{13}\sqrt{20}}$

$\implies\theta\approx29.7^\circ$

Find the statement about Fusion that is false.

stiks02 [169]

Fusion occurs when low mass nuclei, such as hydrogen collide and combine to form nuclei with greater masses.

Fusion could be the world's answer to clean unlimited amounts of energy.

Fusion is extremely difficult to contain and maintain here on earth.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of light atomic nuclei to form nuclei with greater mass.

The sun is powered by chain reaction involving fusion of light hydrogen nuclei to produce a more massive atom of helium.

As with all nuclear reaction, mass is equivalent to energy. These reactions takes place place in the nucleus of an atom where nuclear forces are broken .
it is known that nuclear fusion produces far more energy than fission reaction.
It produces less radioactive wastes and could be the world's clean source of unlimited amount of energy.
The major problem with fusion is that it is difficult to start and requires a a lot of energy to initiate.
