Answer:

972 J

Explanation:

At the bottom, all the gravitational potential energy was converted into kinetic energy. If you calculate the GPE, its value will be the same that the KE at the bottom. The GPE can be calculated this way:

GPE = mass×gravity×heigth

GPE = 2.2×9.8×45.08 ≈ 972

A 3.7-kg object is acted on by two forces. One of the forces is 11 N acting toward the

vitfil [10]

Answer:

F₂ = -7.3 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of an object, m₁ = 3.7 kg

First force, F₁ = 11 N

The net acceleration of the object is 1 m/s².

We know that,

F₁+F₂ = ma

11+F₂ = (3.7)(1)

F₂ = 3.7-11

F₂ = -7.3 N

so, the other force is 7.3 N and it is acting in west direction.

Water flows without friction vertically downward through a pipe and enters a section where the cross sectional area is larger. T

Answer:

$v_{2}$ will be less than $v_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ will be greater than $P_{1}$ .

Explanation:

As we know from the conservation of mass, the rate at which any amount of fluid mass ( $m_{1}$ ) is entering in a system is equal to the rate at which the same amount of fluid mass ( $m_{2}$ ) is leaving the system.

Rate of mass flow can be written as,

$m = \rho A v$

where $\rho$ is the density of the fluid, $A$ is the area through which the fluid is flowing and $v$ is the velocity of the fluid.

Now, according to the problem, as the density of the fluid does not change, we can write

$&& m_{1} = m_{2}\\&or,& \rho A_{1} v_{1} = \rho A_{2} v_{2}\\&or,& \dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}$

where $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ are the cross-sectional areas through which the fluid is passing and $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ are the velocities of the fluid through the respective cross-sectional areas.

As according to the problem, $A_{2} > A_{1}$ , so from the above formula $v_{2} < v_{1}$ .

Also we know that fluid pressure is created by the motion of the fluid through any area. When the fluid gains speed, some of its energy is used to move faster in the fluid’s direction of motion. It causes in a lower pressure.

So, as in this case $v_{2} < v_{1}$ the pressure in the large cross-sectional area $P_{2}$ will be greater than the pressure $P_{1}$ in the small cross sectional area, i.e.,

$P_{2} > P_{1}$ .
