Water flowing through a 1.6-cm-diameter pipe can fill a 500 L bathtub in 6.5 min. What is the speed of the water in the pipe?

The speed of the water is "12.95 m/s".

According to the question,

Volume,

           =

Time,

          =

          =

Diameter,

           = 0.016 m

As we know,

Area of cross-section of pipe will be:

→

Flow rate is:

→

Thus the above approach is right.

v = 6.38 m/s

Explanation:

discharge Q = 500 L / 6.5 min

flow through pipe is 1.6 cm x (1 m/100 cm ) = 0.016 m

using the flow rate formula Q = A * v

where A = area, v = velocity

the speed of water in the pipe = v = Q / A

      500 L        1 m³          1 min           π (0.016 m)²

v =   x    x    ÷  

      6.5 min       10³ L       60 sec                 4

v = 6.38 m/s

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
