In 1656, the Burgmeister (mayor) of the town of Magdeburg, Germany, Otto Von Guericke, carried out a dramatic demonstration of t

he effect resulting from evacuating air from a container. It is the basis for this problem. Two steel hemispheres of radius 0.430 m (1.41 feet) with a rubber seal in between are placed together and air pumped out so that the pressure inside is 15.00 millibar. The atmospheric pressure outside is 940 millibar.
1. Calculate the force required to pull the two hemispheres apart. [Note: 1 millibar=100 N/m2. One atmosphere is 1013 millibar = 1.013×105 N/m2 ]
2. Two equal teams of horses, are attached to the hemispheres to pull it apart. If each horse can pull with a force of 1450N (i.e., about 326 lbs), what is the minimum number of horses required?

The force required to pull the two hemispheres is 46622.72N

<h3>Calculation and Parameters</h3>

( Note: 1 millibar=100 N/m2. One atmosphere is 1013 millibar = 1.013×105 N/m2 ]

The contact area between the hemispheres is (pi x 0.400^2) = 0.5024m^2.

Pressure difference = (940 - 12)

= 928 millibars.

(928 x 100)

= 92,800N/m^2.

Therefore, the required force to pull the two hemispheres is

(92800 x 0.5024)

= 46622.72N.

Light from a laser of wavelength λ1 shines normally on a pair of narrow slits separated by distance D. This results in a differe
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angular position of first intensity maxima is given by the expression

= λ / d where λ is wave length of light and d is slit separation

putting the values given in the problem. ,

.02 = λ₁ / D

Now wavelength has been increased to 2λ₁

angular separation of first maxima

=  2λ₁ /D

= 2 x .02

= .04 radians.

A popular classroom demonstration is to place a gas can on a burner and boil water in it. Left unchecked this has the potential
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

D) shrivel up, since the atmosphere exerts more force on the can as it cools.

Explanation:

As the water in the can is boiled the can gets heated up and contains hot vapour and gases which are rare in density and are in their expanded state. In this state when the can is sealed tightly such that no air leaks in or out of the can. When the temperature of the can drops, the gases shrink in volume and the pressure inside the can become less than the pressure of the atmosphere which leads to shriveling of the can.

A sled of mass 10 kg slides along the ice. it has an initial speed of 2 m/s but stops because of friction. How much work is done
NeX [460]

Answer: The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Mass of the sled = 10 kg

Initial speed of the sled = 2 m/s

Kinetic energy of the sled = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

\frac{1}{2}\times 10 kg\times (2 m/s)^2=20 Joules

Work done by the sled = 20 joules

The work done by the friction will be in opposite direction and equal to the magnitude of the work done of the sled that - 20 J.

Hence, correct answer is option B.

Georgia [21]
The source of information was biased. It was like walking along a river bank in the country and asking everybody you meet whether they like fishing. Or asking 500 people sitting in the bleachers whether they like baseball.
I'm sure the scientist would have gotten different data if she interviewed 500 teenagers at neighborhood basketball courts, or 500 teenagers at a rock concert.

a boy steps off the end of a high diving board and drops into the water below. it takes the boy 0.78 seconds to reach the water.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

7.644 feet

Explanation:

Free fall means that an object is falling freely with no forces acting upon it except gravity, a defined constant, g = -9.8 m/s2. The distance the object falls, or height, h, is 1/2 gravity x the square of the time falling.
