The weight of a column of air with cross-sectional area 4. 5 m^2 extending from earth's surface to the top of the atmosphere is, 4.56*10^5N.

To find the answer, we have to know about the pressure.

<h3>How to find the weight of a column of air?</h3>
  • As we know that the expression of pressure as,

                 P=\frac{F}{A}

where; F is the force, here it is equal to the weight of the air column, and A is the area of cross section.

  • It is given that, the air column is extending from earth's surface to the top of the atmosphere, thus, the pressure will be atmospheric pressure,

             P=1atm=1.013*10^5Pascals

  • From this, the value of weight will be,

            F=mg=P*A=1.013*10^5*4.5=4.56*10^5N

Thus, we can conclude that, the weight of a column of air with cross-sectional area 4. 5 m^2 extending from earth's surface to the top of the atmosphere is, 4.56*10^5N.

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass disk of radius r = 13.62 cm and mass 1.199 kg that is attached
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for time period of a pendulum is as follows

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

l is length of pendulum from centre of bob and g is acceleration due to gravity

Given

Time period T = 1.583

g = 9.846

Substituting the values

1.583 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.846} }

l = \frac{(1.583)^2\times9.846}{4\times(\frac{22}{7})^2 }

l = .6244 m

= 62.44 cm

Length of rod  = length of pendulum - radius of bob

= 62.44 - 13.62

= 48.82 cm

= .488 m

A person is lying on a diving board 3.50 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

1.995 m

Explanation:

Distance of penny as seen by the person = 5 m

Height of person from water surface = 3.50 m

Apparent depth of penny = 5 - 3.50 = 1.5 m

refractive index of water, n = 1.33

real depth / apparent depth = n

real depth = 1.33 x 1.5 = 1.995 m

Thus, the actual depth of water at that point is 1.995 m.

A leaky 10-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 11 m at a constant speed with a rope that weighs 0.9 kg/m. Initial
nalin [4]

Answer:

the work done to lift the bucket = 3491 Joules

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of bucket = 10kg

distance the bucket is lifted = height = 11m

Weight of rope= 0.9kg/m

g= 9.8m/s²

initial mass of water = 33kg

x = height in meters above the ground

Let W = work

Using riemann sum:

the work done to lift the bucket =∑(W done by bucket, W done by rope and W done by water)

= \int\limits^a_b {(Mass of Bucket + Mass of Rope + Mass of water)*g*d} \, dx

Work done in lifting the bucket (W) = force × distance

Force (F) = mass × acceleration due to gravity

Force = 9.8 * 10 = 98N

W done by bucket = 98×11 = 1078 Joules

Work done to lift the rope:

At Height of x meters (0≤x≤11)

Mass of rope = weight of rope × change in distance

= 0.8kg/m × (11-x)m

W done = integral of (mass×g ×distance) with upper 11 and lower limit 0

W done = \int\limits^1 _0 {9.8*0.8(11-x)} \, dx

Note : upper limit is 11 not 1, problem with math editor

W done = 7.84 (11x-x²/2)upper limit 11 to lower limit 0

W done = 7.84 [(11×11-(11²/2)) - (11×0-(0²/2))]

=7.84(60.5 -0) = 474.32 Joules

Work done in lifting the water

At Height of x meters (0≤x≤11)

Rate of water leakage = 36kg ÷ 11m = \frac{36}{11}kg/m

Mass of rope = weight of rope × change in distance

= \frac{36}{11}kg/m × (11-x)m =  3.27kg/m × (11-x)m

W done = integral of (mass×g ×distance) with upper 11 and lower limit 0

W done = \int\limits^1 _0 {9.8*3.27(11-x)} \, dx

Note : upper limit is 11 not 1, problem with math editor

W done = 32.046 (11x-x²/2)upper limit 11 to lower limit 0

W done = 32.046 [(11×11-(11²/2)) - (11×0-(0²/2))]

= 32.046(60.5 -0) = 1938.783 Joules

the work done to lift the bucket =W done by bucket+ W done by rope +W done by water)

the work done to lift the bucket = 1078 +474.32+1938.783 = 3491.103

the work done to lift the bucket = 3491 Joules

An electron de-excites from the fourth quantum level to the third and then directly to the first. Two frequencies of light are e
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The energy emitted during the de-excitation of an electron from a higher energy level to a lower energy level is directly proportional to the frequency of the emitted light.

Here, the total sum of the energies of 2 frequencies of light emitted in different stages is equal to the energy of a single frequency of light during the de-excitation of fourth level to ground level directly.

Hence the total sum of of the frequencies of 2 lights emitted in different stages is equal to the frequency of single frequency of light emitted during the de-excitation  from fourth level to ground level directly.

The some of the energies of 2 frequencies emitted by one electron is equal to the energy of a single frequency when electron jumps directly.
