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 apart is 4.2×10⁴ N and 29 number of horses are needed to pull these hemispheres apart.

<h3>What's the expression of force in terms of pressure?</h3>
  • Mathematically, force = pressure/area
  • Total area of the two hemispheres = 4π×(0.43)²= 2.3 m²
  • Total pressure on the hemispheres= 15 milibar (directed inward) + 940 milibar (atmospheric pressure) = 955 milibar

=955×100 N/m²= 9.55×10⁴ N/m²

  • Force on the hemispheres= 9.55×10⁴/2.3 = 4.2×10⁴ N

<h3>What's the minimum number of horses required to get 4.2×10⁴ N of force, if each horse can pull with a force of 1450N?</h3>

No. of horses required to separate the hemispheres = 4.2×10⁴/1450 = 29

Thus, we can conclude that the 29 horses are needed to pull the two hemispheres with a force of 4.2×10⁴ N.

Alex

Answer:

b. Constant magnitude, but varying direction, perpendicular to the equipotential.

Explanation:

As we know that the relation between electric field and electric potential is given as

\Delta E = -\frac{dV}{dr}

here if we say that potential is constant because electric field sensor is moving along equi-potential line.

Then we will say

V = constant

so we have

\Delta E = 0

so electric field will remain constant always in magnitude and always remains perpendicular to the surface

so we have

b. Constant magnitude, but varying direction, perpendicular to the equipotential.

Which property of matter allows convection currents to form
USPshnik [31]
Convection currents are formed due to the density difference between layers of fluid. The heated layers rise up because their density is less than that of the colder layers. Hope this helps!

Leni [432]

Answer:

True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero

Explanation:

In order to analyze the statements of this problem we propose your solution.

First let's look at Newton's first, which stable that every object is at rest or with constant speed unless something takes it out of this state (acceleration)

Now let's look at the second postulate, which says that force is related to the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration.

As a result of these two laws, for a body is a constant velocity the summation force on it must be zero.

Now we can analyze the statements given.

True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero

False. If the force is different from zero, there is acceleration that changes the speeds

False. There may be forces, but the sum of them must be zero

False. If a force acts, the acceleration is different from zero and the speed changes

A ball is launched with initial speed v from the ground level up a frictionless hill. The hill becomes steeper as the ball slide
Triss [41]

Answer:

H(max) = (v²/2g)

Explanation:

The maximum height the ball will climb will be when there is no friction at all on the surface of the hill.

Normally, the conservation of kinetic energy (specifically, the work-energy theorem) states that, the change in kinetic energy of a body between two points is equal to the work done in moving the body between the two points.

With no frictional force to do work, all of the initial kinetic emergy is used to climb to the maximum height.

ΔK.E = W

ΔK.E = (final kinetic energy) - (initial kinetic energy)

Final kinetic energy = 0 J, (since the body comes to rest at the height reached)

Initial kinetic energy = (1/2)(m)(v²)

Workdone in moving the body up to the height is done by gravity

W = - mgH

ΔK.E = W

0 - (1/2)(m)(v²) = - mgH

mgH = mv²/2

gH = v²/2

H = v²/2g.
