This Cannot be hand-drawn, this physics solution must be typed out, and the explanation in the simplest manner.
The bottom of a car hits a sharp rock, which punctures a small hole on the bottom of its gas tank. If the height of the gasoline in the tank is 30 cm and the surface of the gas in the tank is exposed to atmospheric pressure (since the lid is not tightly sealed), determine the initial velocity of the gasoline pouring out of the hole. Answer in m/s.
A1.2-m wide cylindrical water tank is filled to the brim. The tank has a hole formed at 13.3 cm above the ground. Water initially leaks out of the hole at a speed 4.2 m.s-1. After some time, it is observed that speed at which water flows out reduces 2.7 m.s-1. During this interval, 3.1 how much water leaked out of the tank, and 3.2 by how much shall the point, at which water lands on

Such differences in arrival times are used as an analytical tool in gas chromatography.arrow_forwardA person has placed a large, open-topped container 10m high. They fill the container with water to the top. With a sharp needle, they poke a tiny hole near the bottom of the container.

How high above the hole is the top of the container?arrow_forwardA big container is full of water with height h.

- A 5 kg bag of sand is poured into a funnel and allowed to flow out the bottom of the funnel and onto a scale that is 2.8 m below, where the sand collects. If it takes 11 seconds for all of the sand to flow out of the funnel, what does the scale read 8 seconds after the sand begins collecting? State your answer to the nearest 0.1 N. (Let g= 10 m/s2)arrow_forwardA landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P4.22). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway?

The balls displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the ball is in flight, is given by r=00.3803vdt To perform the integral, you can use the calculus theorem [A+Bf(x)]dx=Adx+Bf(x)dx You can think of the units and unit vectors as constants, represented by A and B. Perform the integration to calculate the displacement of the ball from the edge of the table at 0.380 s.arrow_forwardThe small archerfish (length 20 to 25 cm) lives in brackish waters of Southeast Asia from India to the Philippines. This aptly named creature captures its prey by shooting a stream of water drops at an insect, either flying or at rest. The bug falls into the water and the fish gobbles it up. The archerfish has high accuracy at distances of 1.2 m to 1.5 m, and it sometimes makes hits at distances up to 3.5 m. A groove in the roof of its mouth, along with a curled tongue, forms a tube that enables the fish to impart high velocity to the water in its mouth when it suddenly closes its gill flaps. Suppose the archerfish shoots at a target that is 2.00 m away, measured along a line at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. With what velocity must the water stream be launched if it is not to drop more than 3.00 cm vertically on its path to the target?arrow_forward
