Will water pressure be greater at the bottom of a container that you put a hole in or at the top of a container?

1 answer:

4 0

Pressure=hrg
pressure is great at the bottom because the weight lf water exerts pressure below the container due to the gravitational pull of the earth.

Which of the following are inertial reference frames? A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road. B. A car dr

Aloiza [94]

Answers:

A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road.

B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline.

Explanation:

An object is said to be in an inertial reference frame if the net force acting on the object is zero. According to Newton's second law, this also means that the acceleration of the object is also zero:

$F=ma$

Since F=0, a=0 as well.

Let's now analyze each case.

A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.

B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.

C. A car speeding up after leaving a stop sign. --> NO: this is not an intertial reference frame, because the car is speeding up, so it is accelerating.

D. A car driving at steady speed around a curve. --> NO: this is not an inertial reference frame, because the car is changing direction, therefore its velocity is changing and so the car is accelerating.

So the only two choices which are correct are A and B.

A 7.7 kg sphere makes a perfectly inelastic collision with a second sphere initially at rest. The composite system moves with a

klemol [59]

Answer:

15.4 kg.

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m').................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, V = common velocity of both sphere.

Given: m = 7.7 kg, u' = 0 m/s (at rest)

Let: u = x m/s, and V = 1/3x m/s

Substitute into equation 1

7.7(x)+m'(0) = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7x = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7 = 1/3(7.7+m')

23.1 = 7.7+m'

m' = 23.1-7.7

m' = 15.4 kg.

Hence the mass of the second sphere = 15.4 kg

Estimate the final temperature of a mole of gas at 200.0 atm and 19.0°C as it is forced through a porous plug to a final pressur

Yanka [14]

Answer : The final temperature of gas is 266.12 K

Explanation :

According to the Joule-Thomson experiment, it states that when a gas is expanded adiabatically from higher pressure region to lower pressure region, the change in temperature with respect to change in pressure at constant enthalpy is known as Joule-Thomson coefficient.

The formula will be:

$\mu_{J,T}=(\frac{dT}{dP})_H$
