When a large tank is filled with water to a depth of 38 m. An opening is located 14 m above the bottom of the tank then the water would emerge from the opening at a velocity of 21.70 m/s

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

Mechanical energy is the combination of all the energy in motion represented by total kinetic energy and the total potential energy stored energy in the system which is represented by total potential energy.

As total mechanical energy ias s the sum of all the kinetic as well potential energy stored in the system.

ME = KE + PE

The total kinetic energy

KE = 1/2*m*v²

Similarly, the total potential energy

PE = m*g*h

As given in the problem When a large tank is filled with water to a depth of 38 m. An opening is located 14 m above the bottom of the tank

height of the water above the opening

h= 38-14

h= 24 m

The potential energy of water above the opening is getting converted into the kinetic energy

m*g*h = 1/2*m*v²

v = √(2*g*h)

By substituting the respective values of the height and gravity

v = √(2*9.81*24)

v = 21.70 m/s

Thus, when water is poured into a sizable tank until it reaches a 38 m depth. If a hole were to be made at a height of 14 m above the tank's bottom, water would rush out of it at a speed of 21.70 m/s.

The magnitude of electric field is produced by the electrons at a certain distance.

E = kQ/r²

where:
E = electric field produced
Q = charge
r = distance
k = Coulomb Law constant 9 x10^9 N. m2 / C2

Given are the following:
Q = 1.602 × 10^–19 C
r = 38 x 10^-9 m

Substitue the given:
E = $\frac{( 1.602 x 10^{-19} )( 9.0x10_{9} )}{(38x10^{-9}) ^{2} }$

E = 998.476 kN/C

How is the density of a substance calculated?

den301095 [7]

1). Take a sample of the substance. The sample should be the largest
possible that will allow it to be be easily handled and the following steps
to be performed with it.
(The density doesn't depend on the size of the sample, and every sample
of the same substance has the same density. But using a larger sample
can improve the accuracy of the measurements you make, and therefore
improve the accuracy of the density you derive for the substance.)

2). Ask or measure the mass of the sample.

3). Ask or measure the volume of the sample.

4). Divide the mass by the volume. Their quotient is the density
of the substance.
