Water from a vertical pipe emerges as a 10-cm-diameter cylinder and falls straight down 7.5 m into a bucket. The water exits the

The diameter of the column of the water as it hits the bucket is 4.04 cm

The equation of continuity occurs in the fluid system and it asserts that the inflow and the outflow of the volume rate at the inlet and at the outlet of the system are equal.

By using the kinematics equation to determine the speed of the water in the bucket and applying the equation of continuity to estimate the diameter of the column, we have the following;

Using the kinematics equation:

\mathbf{v_f ^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =(2.0)^2 + 2\times 9.8 \times 7.5}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =151 m/s}

\mathbf{v_f  =\sqrt{151 m/s}}

\mathbf{v_f  =12.29 \ m/s}  

From the equation of continuity:

\mathbf{A_iV_i = A_fV_f}

\mathbf{\pi r^2_iV_i = \pi r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ r^2_iV_i =  r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ (\dfrac{10}{2})^2\times 2.0 =  r_f^2 \times 12.29}

\mathbf{ 50 = 12.29 \times r_f^2}

\mathbf{ r_f=  \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{12.29} }}

\mathbf{ V_f= 2.02 \ cm }

Since diameter = 2r;

∴

The diameter of the column of the water is:

= 2(2.02) cm

= 4.04 cm

Why is the Earth generally warmer at the equator than at the poles?
Elenna [48]
Because of the earths curve and temperature. The temperature in an area depends on the amount of the Sun's energy reaching the surface in that area. The equator tilts closer to the sun than the poles do. I hope this helps!

Which of the following states that absolute zero cannot be reached?
olganol [36]
The second and third laws of thermodynamics states that absolute zero cannot be reached. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". Both the laws actually deal with the relations that exist between heat and other forms of energy. I hope the answer helps you.

If a 70-kg swimmer pushes off a pool wall with a force of 250 N what is her acceleration
jek_recluse [69]
F= MA 
force equals mass time acceleration 
250 N = (70 kg ) (A)
250/70 = 3.5 which is about 4 m/s 
Hope this helps
