  1. Question 1

    Q1. Water flows through a hose with a velocity of 2 m/s. If the hose's cross-sectional area is halved, what is the new velocity?

    • A) 1 m/s
    • B) 4 m/s
    • C) 2 m/s
    • D) 8 m/s

    Answer: 4 m/s

    Explanation: By the equation of continuity, velocity doubles when area is halved. Option A is incorrect because it violates this principle.
