Fed [463]

Answer:

7.11x10^-3

Explanation:

We are to get the volume rate of flows

1/2pv1² + pl = 1/2pv2²

Such that A1V1 = A2V2

V1 = A2V2/A1

From the attachment I uploaded, we have a formula named equation 1 from which I have plugged in these values

P2 = 33000

P2 = 24000

P = 1000

r2 = 2.25

r1 = 4

When we put these values into the equation,

V2 = 4.47

A2V2 = pi(0.0225)²x4.47

= 7.7x19^-3m³/s

Which type of heat transfer can happen even if there are no particles of matter? A. Conduction B. Radiation C. Convection D. Ins
Naddik [55]

Heat can travel as<em> radiation</em>, even if there are no particles of matter
along the way.  Which is really lucky, because that's how we get
heat from the sun.  And light too.

Which of the following is NOT an argument for showing that the Earth must be round: a. during an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The correct option is option E (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year.

Explanation:

The earth, which is one of the planets of the solar system that supports life, is shperical in shape. The spherical ( round) shape of the earth is marked by the intervening highlands and oceans on its surface.

Evidence to show that the earth is shperical are:

--> The Lunar eclipse: During an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round.

--> Ships Visibility: When ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last.

-->Altitude of Polaris (North Star): The height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes. That is ,increases as you move toward the North pole, or decreases as you move toward the equator.

--> Aerial photographs: Photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body.

The statement that doesn't prove that the earth is spherical in shape is (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year). The sun is seen in front of stars blocking different constellation in a year because the earth orbits round the sun in a year and not that it is shperical in shape.

A drag racer starts her car from rest and accelerates at 5.5 m/s2 for the entire distance of 523 m. How long did it take the car
ANEK [815]

Answer:

t = 13.7 s or t = 14 s with proper significant figures

Explanation:

The initial speed is 0 m/s since the car starts from rest, acceleration is 5.5 m/s2 and distance is 523 m.

Since we have initial speed, acceleration and distance we can use the following formula to find the time. We can now use algebra to work out our answer.

d = vt + \frac{1}{2}at²

523 = (0)t + (\frac{1}{2})(5.5)t²

523 = 2.8t²

186.8 = t²

13.7 s = t

(t = 14 s with proper significant figures)

Planet a and planet b are in circular orbits around a distant star. planet a is 7.8 times farther from the star than is planet
gogolik [260]
To find the ratio of planetary speeds Va/Vb we need the orbital velocity formula: 

V=√({G*M}/R), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the distant star and R is the distance of the planet from the star it is orbiting. 

So Va/Vb=[√( {G*M}/Ra) ] / [√( {G*M}/Rb) ], in our case Ra = 7.8*Rb 

Va/Vb=[ √( {G*M}/{7.8*Rb} ) ]  / [√( {G*M}/Rb )], we put everything under one square root by the rule: (√a) / (√b) = √(a/b) 

Va/Vb=√ [ { (G*M)/(7.8*Rb) } / { (G*M)/(Rb) } ], when we cancel out G, M and Rb we get:

Va/Vb=√(1/7.8)/(1/1)=√(1/7.8)=0.358 so the ratio of Va/Vb = 0.358.
