A hole is punched at height h in the side of a container of water full to depth h0. What should h
be to maximize the horizontal range?
A. h0
B. h0/2
C. h0/3
D. h0/4
Answer
B. a lower
Bernoulli's principle states that the pressure is least where the
speed is greatest. Therefore, the pressure at the higher entrance, where the wind speed is greatest,
is lower than the pressure at the entrance at the low end. Fresh air is drawn into the low end of
the tunnel and out the high end.
A. 4900 N
C. 0.45 kg
A. zero
