The relative pressure at the bottom of the lake is given by
p_r = \rho g h
where
\rho is the water density
g is the gravitational acceleration
h is the depth at which the pressure is measured

At the bottom of the lake, h=27.8 m, so the relative pressure is
p_r = (1\cdot 10^3 kg/m^3)(9.81 m/s^2)(27.8 m)=2.72 \cdot 10^5 Pa

To find the absolute pressure, we must add the atmospheric pressure, p_a, to this value:
p=p_r + p_a =2.72 \cdot 10^5 Pa + 1.013 \cdot 10^5 Pa =3.74 \cdot 10^5 Pa

Describe in terms of kinetic and potential energy what happens if an apple falls from a tree and comes to rest on the ground( wr
Lunna [17]

Answer:

An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv²  where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.

As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.

But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.

The storage coefficient of a confined aquifer is 6.8x10-4 determined by a pumping test. The thickness of the aquifer is 50 m and
Ivanshal [37]

Answer

given,

storage coefficient, S = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴

thickness of aquifer, t = 50 m

porosity of the aquifer, n = 25 % = 0.25

Density of the water, γ = 9810 N/m³

Compressibilty  of water,β = 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰ m²/N

We know,

   S = γ t(nβ + α)

where, α is the compressibility of the aquifer

   6.8 x 10⁻⁴  =9810 x 50 x (0.25 x 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰+ α)

     α = 1.269 x 10⁻⁹ m²/N

Expansability of water

            = n t β γ

            = 0.25 x 50 x 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰ x 9810

            = 5.73 x 10⁻⁵

I need help understanding this concept . Would appreciate it so much. Thank you
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Both these questions are based on the Universal Law of Gravitation, which is given by :

F = Gm1m2 / r²

2) F = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 8 x 10³ x 1.5 x 10³ / 1.5 x 1.5

   F = 6.67 x 10⁻⁵ x 8 / 1.5

   F = 35.57 x 10⁻⁵ N

3) F = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 7.5 x 10⁵ x 9.2 x 10⁷ / 7.29 x 10⁴

   F = 6.67 x 10⁻³ x 7.5 x 9.2 / 7.29

   F = 63.13 x 10⁻³ N
