An engine pumps water continuously through a hose. Water leaves the hose with a velocity v and m is the mass per unit length of the water jet. What is the rate which kinetic energy is imparted to water ?
Options
- A1 2 m^2 v^2
- B1 2 mv ^3
- Cmv ^3
- D1 2 mv ^2
Correct answer
B. 1 2 mv ^3
Step-by-step solution
mv = dm du du dt = dm dt = Rate of flowing mass aligned & F _ av = dm dt v 2 = ( mv ) v 2 = mv ^2 2 & p = dK dt = mv ^2 2 v = mv ^3 3 aligned
