Power question from NEET 2009 (AIPMT)

Q45NEET 2009 · AIPMTMedium

Power

An engine pumps water continuously through a hose. Water leaves the hose with a velocity v and m is the mass per unit length of the water jet. What is the rate at which kinetic energy is imparted to water?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Mass leaving per second =mv= mv.
  2. Rate of KE given =12(mv)v2=12mv3= \dfrac{1}{2}(mv)v^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^3
  3. So the answer is (d) 12mv3\dfrac{1}{2}mv^3.
