Answer:

The force exerted is 318.86 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by such a stream is calculated by multiplying the mass flow rate of water by the velocity of the stream of water.

mass flow rate = 21.4 kg/s

velocity = 14.9 m/s

Force exerted = 21.4 kg/s × 14.9 m/s = 318.86 kgm/s^2 = 318.86 N

Given Information:

mass flow rate = 21.4 kg/s

change in velocity = 14.9 m/s

Required Information:

Force = ?

Answer:

Force = 318.86 N

Explanation:

We know that force is equal to change in momentum over time

F = Δp/t

Where change in momentum is

Δp = m(v₂² - v₁²)

so force becomes

F = m(v₂² - v₁²)/t

Where m/t is basically mass flow rate 21.4 kg/s

F = 21.4 kg/s*(v₂² - v₁²)

The change in velocity is given as

v₂² - v₁² = 14.9 m/s

F = 21.4 kg/s * 14.9 m/s

F = 318.86 kg.m/s²

1 kg.m/s² is equivalent to 1 Newton of force

F = 318.86 N

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Average speed is distance traveled over time taken to do so

home to station

d = 60 km

t = 60 km/60 km/hr = 1 hr

station to shop

d = 60 km

t = 60 km / 120 km/hr = ½ hr

speed

s = (60 + 60) / (1 + ½) = 120/1.5 = 80 km/h

A ball is tossed into the air from height of 8 feet with an initial velocity of 8 feet per second. find the time r(in seconds) i
-Dominant- [34]
For this case we have the following equation:
 -16t + 8t + 8 = 0
 The first thing we must do is rewrite the equation correctly.
 We have then:
 -16t ^ 2 + 8t + 8 = 0
 Solving the polynomial we have:
 t1 = -1/2
 t2 = 1
 We discard the negative root because we want to find the time.
 Answer:
 it takes for the object to reach the ground about:
 t = 1 second

Kinetic energy is: which one is the correct answer A,B,C,or D A.inversely proportional to mass and velocity B.directly proportio
raketka [301]

Answer: A

Explanation: because The kinetic energy of a moving object is directly proportional to its mass and directly proportional to the square of its velocity. The kinetic energy of an object can be changed by doing work on the object.
