Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

1) Water leaves the end of a faucet that is .35 m above the bottom of the sink, with a speed of 1.25 m/s. The radius of the stream of water is 1 cm, when it leaves the faucet. As the water falls down toward the sink, the diameter of the stream deceases, as shown. Vb = Vb = Ytop = .35 m m/s Tb = Ybot = 0 m NAME a) Using the continuity equation, find the speed of the water at the bottom, in terms of the radius of the stream at the bottom, r. This will be in terms of the variable T- cm Vtop= 1.25 m/s Itop b) Now use Bernoulli's equation to find the speed of the water when it hits the bottom of the sink. When the water leaves the end of the faucet, the pressure is atmospheric pressure, the same as it will be when it hits the bottom of the sink. You will get a number for this. <= 1 cm For this problem, keep the radius units in cm but keep ytop in m, Vtop in m/s c) Using the speed you just calculated and your answer to part a, find the radius of the stream at the bottom, rb, when it hits the…

A fire truck raises its bucket so that a firefighter can spray water on the fire from above. The building sits on a large property. The truck must park far away 33.0 meters. The bucket carrying the firefighter holding the hose can be raised to a height of 9.00 meters. Water leaves the hose T 20.0 m/s. If the hose is held so that it sprays water horizontally from this height is the water able to reach the house?
