Properties Of Matter Ques 8

  1. If the piston is pushed at a speed of $5 \mathrm{mms}^{-1}$, the air comes out of the nozzle with a speed of

(a) $0.1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$

(b) $1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$

(c) $2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$

(d) $8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 8.( c )

Solution:

  1. From continuity equation,

$ A_1 v_1=A_2 v_2 $

Here, $ \quad A_1=400 A_2$

because $ \quad r_1=20 r_2$ and $A=\pi r^2$

$\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad v_2 & =\frac{A_1}{A_2}\left(v_1\right)=400 v_1 \\ & =400(5) \mathrm{mm} / \mathrm{s}=2000 \mathrm{~mm} / \mathrm{s}=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$
