Question #1
According to the Equation of Continuity in fluid dynamics, when water flows through a pipe of varying cross-section, the velocity of the fluid is:
A. Directly proportional to the cross-sectional area.
B. Directly proportional to the square of the cross-sectional area.
C. Independent of the cross-sectional area.
D. Inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The Equation of Continuity states that for an incompressible, non-viscous fluid in streamlined flow, the mass flow rate is constant. Therefore, A1V1 = A2V2, where A is the area of cross-section and V is the velocity. This means V is inversely proportional to A (V ∝ 1/A). As the pipe narrows, the fluid speeds up.

Question #3
A car moving with speed 20 m/s applies brakes and stops in 5 s. The distance covered during braking is
A. 200 m
B. 50 m
C. 100 m
D. 25 m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
u=20, v=0, t=5, a = (0-20)/5 = -4 m/s². s = ut + ½at² = 20×5 + ½×(-4)×25 = 100 - 50 = 50 m. Or average velocity = (20+0)/2 = 10 m/s, distance = 10×5 = 50 m.
