Answer:

Zero because the applied force is perpendicular to the motion of the object.

No work is done on an object moving is a circular path about a central attractive force.

Any work done in such a case would result in a change in the orbit.

A water pipe is inclined 40.0° below the horizontal. The radius of the pipe at the upper end is 2.00 cm. If the gauge pressure a

Answer:

$P_2 = -1.9 \times 10^8 Pa$

Explanation:

As it is given that flow rate in the pipe is 20 cm^3/s

so we have

$Q = A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

at the upper end the area is given as

$A_1 = \pi r_1^2$

$A_1 = \pi(0.02)^2 = 1.26 \times 10^{-3} cm^2$

Also at the other end

$A_2 = \pi r_2^2$

$A_2 = \pi(0.01)^2 = 0.314 \times 10^{-3} cm^2$

now the speed at two ends is given as

$v_1 = \frac{20}{1.26 \times 10^{-3}}$

$v_1 = 159.15 m/s$

$v_2 = \frac{20}{0.314 \times 10^{-3}}$

$v_2 = 637 m/s$

now by Bernoulli's theorem we have

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g h_2$

now we have

$0.112(1.013 \times 10^5) + \frac{1}{2}1000(159.15)^2 + 1000(9.81)(2.65sin40) = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}(1000)(637)^2 + 0$

Now we have

$P_2 = -1.9 \times 10^8 Pa$

Which phrase describes an atom?

kiruha [24]

You haven't included the list of choices that goes with the question, so it's
impossible for me to choose the correct one, or to help you choose it.

Regarding my ability to answer the question and collect the 5-point bounty,
I'm free to make up any phrase of my own that correctly describes an atom.

-- very very very very very very very tiny

-- includes even tinier particles, with electric charges
both positive and negative

-- smaller than the wavelength of visible light
