A reservoir located in the mountain 250 m above sea level flows through a pipe to a hydroelectric plant in a town at sea level.

Assuming the pressure in both locations are the same and the density of water is 1000 kg/m3. How fast will the water flow into the plant?

Answer:

     v₂ = 70 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Bernoulli's equation

where subscript 1 is for the top of the mountain and subscript 2 is for Tuesday's level

 

          P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ +1/2 ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

indicate that the pressure in the two points is the same, y₁ = 250 m, y₂ = 0 m, the water in the upper part, because it is a reservoir, is very large for which the velocity is very small, we will approximate it to 0 (v₁ = 0), we substitute

         ρ g y₁ = ½ ρ v₂²

         v₂ = \sqrt {2g \ y_1}

let's calculate

         v₂ = √( 2 9.8 250)

         v₂ = 70 m / s

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!! Indicate the reasons why the centripetal acceleration (and centripetal force) always point to the center
maxonik [38]
Well we know the correct answer cannot be "a" bcause velocity is tangent to the circlular path of an object experienting centripical motion. Velocity DOES NOT point inward in centripical motion.

we know the correct answer cannot be "b" because "t" stands for "time" which cannot point in any direction. so, time cannot point toward the center of a circle and therefore this answer must be incorrect.

I would choose answer choice "c" because both force and centripical acceleration point toward the center of the circle.

I do not think answer choice "d" can be correct because the velocity of the mass moves tangent to the circle. velocity = (change in position) / time. Therefore, by definition the mass is moving in the direction of the velocity which does not point to the center of the circle.

does this make sense? any questions?
