Selena uses a garden hose to fill a bucket of water. The water enters the hose through a faucet with a 6.0 cm diameter.
The speed of the water at the faucet is 5/ms.

If the faucet and nozzlw are at the same height, and the water leaves the nozzle with a speed of 20 m/s, what is the diameter of the nozzle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 cm

Explanation:

To answer this question the equation of continuity can be used

For us to use the equaition of continuity, we will make a few assumptions:

  • That the temperature of the water does not change, therefore there is not expansion or contraction (change in volume)
  • That  the flow is non-viscous
  • That there is a single entry and a single exit
  • That the water is incompressible

[tex]A_{1}v_{1} = A_{2} v_{2} \\\pi (3cm)^{2} * 5m/s = \pi r^{2} *20m/s\\\\r = 1.5 cm\\D = 2r = 2*1.5cm=3 cm[/tex]
