The shoreline would be your reference point.

A reference point, in physics, is some point in space used to illustrate the location or position of other things, relative to this reference point. So in this case, the shoreline is considered as the reference point to locate the position of the surfers.

Water from a leaking tap begins to fall into

Amanda [17]

Answer:

It will take 20,000 seconds to get a pressure of 200Pa at the bottom of the tank.

Explanation:

The pressure at the bottom of the tank will be

$P = \dfrac{Mg}{A}$

where $M$ is the mass of the water, and $A$ is the base area of the tank.

The base area of the tank is

$A = 0.5m* 2m = 1m^2$ ,

and if we want the pressure at the bottom to be 200pa, then it must be that

$200Pa = \dfrac{M(10m/s^2)}{1m^2}$ ,

solving for $M$ we get:

$M = 20kg\\$

which is the required mass of the water in the tank.

Now, the tank fills at a rate of 2 drops per second or

$2 (0.05g)/s = 0.10g/s = 0.0001kg/s$

since each drop weights 0.05g.

Therefore, the time $t$ it takes to collect 20kg of water will be

$t = 20kg \div \dfrac{0.0001kg}{s}$

$t = 2*10^5s$

which is 55.56 hours or 2 days and 7.56 hours.

Thus, it will take 20,000 seconds to get a pressure of 200Pa at the bottom of the tank.

Compare these two collisions of a PE student with a wall.

Stolb23 [73]

1) The variable that is different in the two cases is $\Delta t$ , the duration of the collision

2) The change in momentum is the same in the two cases

3) The impulse is the same in the two cases

4) Case B will experience a greater force

Explanation:

The variable that is different in the two cases is $\Delta t$ , the duration of the collision.

In fact, in the first case the wall is padded: this means that the collision will be "softer" and therefore will last longer, so the duration of the collision, $\Delta t$ , will be larger.

In the second case instead, the wall is unpadded: this means that the collision is "harder" and so it will last less time, therefore the duration of the collision $\Delta t$ will be smaller.

The change in momentum in the two cases is the same.

In fact, the change in momentum is given by:

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where:

m is the mass of the student

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

In both cases, we have:

m = 75 kg

u = 8 m/s

v = 0 (they both comes to rest)

Therefore, the change in momentum is

$\Delta p = (75)(0-8)=-600 kg m/s$

The impulse in the two cases is the same.

In fact, impulse is defined as the product of force applied, F, and duration of the collision, $\Delta t$ :

$J=F \Delta t$

However, the force can be rewritten as product of mass (m) and acceleration (a), according to Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

So the impulse is

$J=ma\Delta t$

The acceleration can be rewritten as rate of change of velocity:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

So the impulse becomes

$J=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t = m\Delta v$

So, the impulse is equal to the change in momentum: and since in the two cases the change in momentum is the same, the impulse is the same as well.

The force in the collision is related to the impulse by

$J=F\Delta t$

where

J is the impulse

F is the force

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

The equation can be rewritten as

$F=\frac{J}{\Delta t}$

In the two situations described in the problem (A and B), we already said that the impulse is the same (because the change in momentum is the same). However, in case A (padded wall) the time $\Delta t$ is longer, while in case B (unpadded wall) the time $\Delta t$ is shorter: since the force F is inversely proportional to the duration of the collision, this means that in case B the student will experience a greatest force compared to case A.

He electron cloud is the predicted location for

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

A) Electrons only

Explanation:

In quantum mechanics, "electron cloud" refers to the region of space where electrons can be found in an atom. In fact, in quantum mechanics, it is not possible to predict the exact position of the electrons, so there is a region where electrons have a certain probability to be found.
