A gallon of milk in a full plastic jug is sitting on the edge of your kitchen table. Estimate the vertical distance between the top surface of the milk and the bottom of the jug. Also estimate the distance from the tabletop to the floor. You punch a small hole in the side of the jug just above the bottom of the jug, and milk flows out the hole. When the milk first starts to flow out the hole, what horizontal distance does it travel before reaching the floor? Assume the milk is in free fall after it has passed through the hole, and neglect the viscosity of the milk.

Water rushes out of a pipe which is 11m vertically below the top of a
reservoir. What is the maximum speed of the water leaving the pipe? (g
= 9.81 ms-2)

On the Earth water gushes from a pipe at 12 ms-!. At what speed would
the water travel on the Moon, the height being the same? (g on the Moon
is 1.6 ms-2)?
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

- 83. Blood Flow As blood moves through a vein or an artery, its velocity v is greatest along the central axis and decreases as the distance r from the central axis increases (see the figure). The formula that gives v as a function of r is called the law of laminar flow. For an artery with radius 0.5 cm, the rela- tionship between v (in cm/s) and r (in cm) is given by the function u(r) = 18,500(0.25 – r2) 0srs 0.5 %3D (a) Find v(0.1) and (0.4).

A projectile is accelerated through the barrel of a gas gun by gas at high pressure. The acceleration of the projectile is given by a=c/s (m/s) where s (m) is the position of the projectile in the barrel and c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure. The projectile starts from rest at s = 1 m and accelerates until it reaches the end of the barrel at s = 2.5 m. a) Determine the value of c for the projectile to leave the barrel with a velocity of 125 m/s. b) (Python) Plot s vs t, v vs t.arrow_forward
