RE-NEET 2024 Physics Bernoulli's Principle MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium

An ideal fluid is flowing in a non-uniform cross-sectional tube XY (as shown in the figure) from end X to end Y. If K₁ and K₂ are the kinetic energy per unit volume of the fluid at X and Y respectively, then the correct option is :

Question diagram
A

K₁ = K₂

B

2K₁ = K₂

C

K₁ > K₂

D

K₁ < K₂

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

According to the equation of continuity and Bernoulli's principle, the velocity and hence kinetic energy per unit volume is higher at the narrower section (X) than at the wider section (Y).
