Is the force of gravity that attracts my body to the Earth related to the force of gravity between the planets and the Sun

Certainly gravity is a force that exists between the Earth and the objects that are near it. As you stand upon the Earth, you experience this force.

What is the pressure drop due to the bernoulli effect as water goes into a 3.00-cm-diameter nozzle from a 9.00-cm-diameter fire

Paul [167]

Answer:

$\Delta P=1581357.92\ Pa$

Explanation:

Given:

diameter of hose pipe, $D=0.09\ m$

diameter of nozzle, $d=0.03\ m$

volume flow rate, $\dot{V}=40\ L.s^{-1}=0.04\ m^3.s^{-1}$

<u>Now, flow velocity in hose:</u>

$v_h=\frac{\dot V}{\pi.D^2\div 4}$

$v_h=\frac{0.04\times 4}{\pi\times 0.09^2}$

$v_h=6.2876\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Now, flow velocity in nozzle:</u>

$v_n=\frac{\dot V}{\pi.d^2\div 4}$

$v_n=\frac{0.04\times 4}{\pi\times 0.03^2}$

$v_n=56.5884\ m.s^{-1}$

We know the Bernoulli's equation:

$\frac{P_1}{\rho.g}+\frac{v_1^2}{2g}+Z_1=\frac{P_2}{\rho.g}+\frac{v_2^2}{2g}+Z_2$

when the two points are at same height then the eq. becomes

$\frac{P_1}{\rho.g}+\frac{v_1^2}{2g}=\frac{P_2}{\rho.g}+\frac{v_2^2}{2g}$

$\Delta P=\frac{\rho(v_n^2-v_h^2)}{2}$

$\Delta P=\frac{1000(56.5884^2-6.2876^2)}{2}$

$\Delta P=1581357.92\ Pa$

Which describes an object in projectile motion? Check all that apply.A.Gravity acts to pull the object downB.The object moves in

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

A.Gravity acts to pull the object down

D.The object’s inertia carries it forward.

E.The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant horizontal speed

- A vertical motion with constant acceleration of g = 9.8 m/s^2 downward (acceleration due to gravity), due to the presence of the force of gravity, so the vertical velocity changes (increases in the downward direction)

As a result, the combined motion of the projectile has a curved trajectory (parabolic, more specifically). So the following options are correct:

A.Gravity acts to pull the object down --> gravity acts along the vertical direction

D.The object’s inertia carries it forward. --> there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the horizontal motion continues with constant speed

E.The path of the object is curved
