Mashcka [7]

Answer:

A water strider can walk along the surface of earth due to the surface tension of water. 

Explanation:

Fluids have a tendency to shrink to minimum possible surface area and this is called surface tension. It usually occurs due to the greater force of cohesion between molecules of same substance when compared to adhesive force between molecules of different substances. Objects with greater densities can float along water surface due to the role played by surface tension. 

When insects walk along the water surface they are pulled down due to gravity. But the force of attraction between the legs of the insect and water molecules is minimal. Thus the surface tension would always tend to maintain the flatness of water overcoming the push by the legs of the strider.

When the insect’s weight pulls it down , the surface tension pushes it upwards overcoming this force of gravity. This is how water striders move along the surface of water.

yarga [219]

Answer:

197.263157895 m/s

169.491525424 m/s

Explanation:

x Denotes position

t Denotes time

Average velocity is given by

$v_a=\dfrac{x_2-x_1}{t_2}\\\Rightarrow v_a=\dfrac{1000-63}{4.75}\\\Rightarrow v_a=197.263157895\ m/s$

The average velocity is 197.263157895 m/s

$v_a=\dfrac{x_2-x_1}{t_2}\\\Rightarrow v_a=\dfrac{1000-0}{5.9}\\\Rightarrow v_a=169.491525424\ m/s$

The average velocity is 169.491525424 m/s

Water flows through a horizontal pipe of varying cross-section. In the first section, the cross-sectional area is 10 cm2 and flo

Stels [109]

Answer:

(a) the flow speed of the second section is 11 m/s

(b) the pressure of the second section is 6.33 x 10⁴ Pa

Explanation:

Given;

flow rate in the first section, Q₁ = 2750 cm³/sec

area of the first cross section, A₁ = 10 cm²

pressure in the first cross section, P₁ = 1.2 x 10⁵ Pa

area of the second section, A₂ = 2.5 cm²

(a) the flow speed of the second section (V₂)

Apply continuity equation;

Q₁ = Q₂

Q₁ = A₂V₂

V₂ = Q₁ / A₂

V₂ = (2750) / (2.5)

V₂ = 1100 cm/s = 11 m/s

(b) the pressure of the second section (P₂)

Apply Bernoulli's equation;

P₁ + ¹/₂ρV₁² = P₂ + ¹/₂ρV₂²

where;

ρ is density of water = 1000 kg/m³

V₁ is the speed of water in the first section;

Q₁ = A₁V₁

V₁ = Q₁ / A₁

V₁ = (2750) / (10)

V₁ = 275 cm/s = 2.75 m/s

P₂ = P₁ + ¹/₂ρV₁² - ¹/₂ρV₂²

P₂ = P₁ + ¹/₂ρ(V₁² - V₂²)

P₂ = 1.2 x 10⁵ Pa + ¹/₂ x 1000 (2.75² - 11²)

P₂ = 1.2 x 10⁵ Pa + 500(-113.438)

P₂ = 1.2 x 10⁵ Pa - 0.567 x 10⁵ Pa

P₂ = 0.633 x 10⁵ Pa

P₂ = 6.33 x 10⁴ Pa

Levart [38]

Answer:

the rate that the energy of a system is transformed

Explanation:

We can define energy as the capacity or ability to do work. Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate at which energy is transformed. It can also be regarded as the time rate of energy transfer. In older physics literature, power is sometimes referred to as activity.

Power is given by energy/time. Its unit is watt which is defined as joule per second. Another popular unit of power is horsepower. 1 horsepower = 746 watts.

Very large magnitude of power is measured in killowats and megawatts.
