Since we are talking about the pressure of water at a certain height, we can associate hydrostatic pressure or hydrostatic force. The formula relating this two is:

P = F/A
So,
F = P*A

To find the change of force, simply multiply the change in pressure to the cross-sectional area of the swimming pool. To report in terms of Newtons, let's convert mmHg to Pa (760 mmHg = 101325 Pa).

F = (772 - 753 mmHg)(101325 Pa/760 mmHg)(11 m × 21 m)
<em>F = 585,151.875 N</em>

Change in pressure : 772-753 = 19 mm Hg 
Since 1 mm Hg = 133 Pa Hg
 Then, 19 mm Hg = 2527 Pa Hg
 Area of rectangular pool = L* B = 11 x 21 = 231 m^2
 To find the force, we multiply the area by the change in pressure: 2527 (231) = 583737N

A 0.55-μF capacitor is connected to a 3.5-V battery. How much charge is on each plate of the capacitor?
yan [13]

Answer:

1.925 μC

Explanation:

Charge: This can be defined as the product of the capacitance of a capacitor and the voltage. The S.I unit of charge is Coulombs (C)

The formula for the charge stored in a capacitor is given as,

Q = CV ................... Equation 1

Where Q = charge, C = Capacitor, V = Voltage.

Note: 1 μF  = 10⁻⁶  F

Given: C = 0.55 μF = 0.55×10⁻⁶ F, V = 3.5 V.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 0.55×10⁻⁶×3.5

Q = 1.925×10⁻⁶ C.

Q = 1.925 μC

Hence the charge on the plate = 1.925 μC

In a heat engine, Qh and Qc represents high temperature substance and low temperature substance respectively. Which of the follo
ElenaW [278]

The efficiency of a heat engine is given by the expression eff =\frac{Q_h-Q_c}{Q_h}

The efficiency of a heat engine is the ratio of the work done by the engine to the heat given as the input to the engine.

eff =\frac{W}{Q_h}

The heat engine absorbs Q h from the hot reservoir , performs a work <em>W</em> on the absorbed heat and rejects Qc to the cold reservoir.

Therefore, the work done  is given by,

W=Q_h - Q_c

Thus the efficiency is given by, eff =\frac{Q_h-Q_c}{Q_h}

What causes an aurora?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights.
