An engine pumps water continuously through a hose. Water leaves the hose with a velocity y and m is the mass per unit length of the water jet. What is the rate at which kinetic energy is imparted to water ?
Options
- A1 2 mv ^3
- Bmv ^3
- C1 2 mv ^2
- D1 2 m^2 v^2
Correct answer
A. 1 2 mv ^3
Step-by-step solution
Velocity of water is (v ), mass flowing per unit length is (m ). Mass flowing per second (= mv ) ( ) Rate of kinetic energy or K.E. per second (=1 / 2(m v) v^2=1 / 2 m v^3 )
