    Is Density Affected By Fluid Speed According To Bernoulli's Principle?

    Hmm. Okay. Another question, then. Is the following statement true?: the narrower the pipe, the higher the density Nvm, reading the previous post.

    Is Density Affected By Fluid Speed According To Bernoulli's Principle?

    "increasing velocity increases pressure" I thought the whole idea of Bernoulli's principle was that increasing velocity decreases pressure...?

    Is Density Affected By Fluid Speed According To Bernoulli's Principle?

    I have in my notes that as speed of a fluid increases, density decreases. This doesn't make sense to me. When a fluid passes through a narrower area, doesn't that mean that its density is increasing because it is now packed more tightly together? If this is the case, shouldn't the rule be that...

    Will humans ever really understand why the universe exists?

    I don't think so. It's not for us to know.

    Total Internal Reflection Question

    I have written in my notes the following: "Total internal reflection will have reflecting ray only, same as incident (60 degrees)." I understand everything but the 60 degrees part. If there is total internal reflection, will the angle of reflection and the angle of incident both always be...

    Sound Waves and Destructive Interference question

    The problem: Two speakers emit a sound with a frequency of 550.0Hz. At what distance should they be placed to maximize destructive interference? I have the steps in solving this problem written on my worksheet, and it says that the speakers should be placed at 1/2 wavelength. The thing I...

    Quick Question: Electromagnetic Waves

    What happens to the amplitude of an electromagnetic wave when it crosss from a less dense to a more dense medium? I couldn't find it anywhere on the net.

    Quick question about magnetic fields

    Homework Statement The force on a wire .80 m long that is perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field is .12 N. What current flows throught the wire? (Earth's magnetic field is 1.0x10^-4 T at the poles and 5.0x10^-5 T at the equator) Homework Equations Fm=BIl Fm is magnetic force in N...

    Understanding Parallel Force: Definition, Equation, and Examples

    It's not a specific problem, but I'm wondering what "parallel force" is defined as. The equation we were given is work = parallel force x distance. I was thinking that parallel force is probably the sum of the forces acting in the direction of motion, but some problems we've done in class...
