Answer 1

(a) 102 cm/s

(b) 0.490 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Use Bernoulli equation.

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂

0 + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = 0 + ½ ρ v₂² + 0

½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = ½ ρ v₂²

½ v₁² + gh₁ = ½ v₂²

½ (25.0 cm/s)² + (980 cm/s²) (5.00 cm) = ½ v²

v = 102 cm/s

(b) The flow rate is constant.

v₁ A₁ = v₂ A₂

(25.0 cm/s) (2.00 cm²) = (102 cm/s) A

A = 0.490 cm²
