Water flowing through a garden hose of diameter 2.76 cm fills a 20.0-L bucket in 1.45 min. (a) What is the speed of the water leaving the end of the hose

v = 31.84 cm/s or 0.318 m/s

the speed of the water leaving the end of the hose is 31.84 cm/s or 0.318 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

Diameter of hose d = 2.76 cm

Volume filled V = 20.0 L = 20,000 cm^3

Time t = 1.45 min = 105 seconds

The volumetric flow rate of water is;

F = V/t = 20,000cm^3 ÷ 105 seconds

F = 190.48 cm^3/s

The volumetric flow rate is equal the cross sectional area of pipe multiply by the speed of flow.

F = Av

v = F/A

Area A = πd^2/4

Speed v = F/(πd^2/4)

v = 4F/πd^2 1

Substituting the given values;

v = (4×190.48)/(π×2.76^2)

v = 31.83767439628 cm/s

v = 31.84 cm/s or 0.318 m/s

the speed of the water leaving the end of the hose is 31.84 cm/s or 0.318 m/s
