A gardener feels it is taking too long to water a garden with a 0.40-in.-diameter hose.
Part A
By what factor will the time be cut using a 0.60-in.-diameter hose instead? Assume nothing else is changed.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
2. Suppose we have two pieces of same type of wood that are obviously different lengths. We then place both in water. It is observed that both piece floats. Explain how you can prove that density of wood is an intensive property
Goodmorning Maam/Sir, I hope you can help me with this.......
The water supply for a city is often provided from reservoirs built on high ground. Water flows from the reservoir, through pipes, and into your home when you turn the tap on your faucet. Why does water flow more rapidly out of a faucet on the first floor of a building than in an apartment on a higher floor?

Which statement below is true? Density of wood is larger than the density of water. A) Buoyant force acting on the wood is less than the weight of the piece of wood. B) The buoyant force acting on wood piece would be larger if this object was submerged 3.0 m below the surface of the lake. C) To know whether buoyant force is larger than the weight, one needs to know the specific value of atmospheric pressure. D) All of these statements are false.arrow_forwardPufferfish, also known as blowfish, can quickly expand by gulping water (or air) into their elastic stomachs. Almost all pufferfish contain tetrodotoxin, a deadly toxin that is up to 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide. Will the buoyant force on a pufferfish increase or decrease when it suddenly 'blows up with air' in the ocean and doubles its size?... Use the Rationale section below to EXPLAIN your choice ... (include calculations where needed) A. Not enough information is supplied to answer this question. B. The buoyant force will certainly stay the same since it is independent of the size of the fish! C. The buoyant force will certainly increase. D. The buoyant force will certainly decrease.arrow_forward
