Torricelli’s Law Torricelli’s Law states that water will flow from an opening at the bottom of a tank with the same speed that it would attain falling from the surface of the water to the opening. One of the forms of Torricelli’s Law is
where h is the height of the water in the tank, k is the area of the opening at the bottom of the tank, A(h) is the horizontal cross-sectional area at height h, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (

- The kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardBreast Cancer It has been observed that the following formula accurately models the relationship between the size of a breast tumor and the amount of time that it has been growing. Vt=11001023e-0.02415t+1-4, where t is in months and Vt is measures in cubic centimeters. Source: Cancer. a. Find the tumor volume at 240 months. b. Assuming that the shape of a tumor is spherical, find the radius of the tumor from part a. Hint: The volume of a sphere is given by the formula V=4/3r3. c. If a tumor of size 0.5 cm3 is detected, according to the formula, how long has it been growing? What does this imply? d. Find limtVt and interpret this value. Explain whether this makes sense. e. Calculate the rate of change of tumor volume at 240 months and interpret.arrow_forwardIf you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.arrow_forward
