The gravitational force increseaes exponentially as you get closer to the moon. Since the denominator of the gravitational force formula is r^2, cutting the distance in half increases the force 4-fold.

Water flows with constant speed through a garden hose that goes up to 27.5 cm high. if the water pressure is 132kpa at the botto
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Explanation:

From Hydrostatics we find that the pressure difference between extremes of the water column is defined by the following formula, which is a particular case of the Bernoulli's Principle (v_{bottom}\approx v_{top}):

p_{bottom}-p_{top} = \rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h (1)

p_{bottom}, p_{top} - Total pressures at the bottom and at the top, measured in pascals.

\rho - Density of the water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

\Delta h - Height difference of the step, measured in meters.

If we know that p_{bottom} = 132000\,Pa, \rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and \Delta h = 0.275\,m, then the pressure at the top of the step is:

p_{top} = p_{bottom}-\rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h

p_{top} = 132000\,Pa-\left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.275\,m)

p_{top} = 129303.075\,Pa

p_{top} = 129.303\,kPa

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Electric fish generate current with biological cells called electroplaques, which are physiological emf devices. The electroplaq
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

current in water = 0.924 A

Explanation:

Let the current in each row be i.

Thus, current in water is contributed by each row and total current in water becomes 140i.

We are given;

emf of each electroplaque = 0.15 V

Number of electroplaques = 5000

internal resistance = 0.25 Ω

resistance = 800Ω

Applying Kirchoff's Voltage Law to row and water, we have;

5000E − (5000r)i − 800(140i) = 0

Rearranging;

5000E = (5000r)i + 800(140i)

Plugging in the relevant values;

5000 x 0.15 = i((5000 x 0.25) + 112,000)

750 = 113,250i

i = 750/113,250

i = 0.0066 A

Recall earlier, the current in water is 140i.

Thus, current in water = 140 x 0.0066

= 0.924

if the Horse and Rider have a combined mass of 572 kg what force would be required to accelerate them 5 kph per second
Vlad [161]

Answer:

   Force required to accelerate = 794.44 N

Explanation:

 Force required = Mass of horse x Acceleration of horse

 Mass of horse and rider, m=   572 kg

 Acceleration of horse and rider, a = 5 kph per second

                                      =\frac{5*1000}{60*60} =1.39 m/s^2

  Force required = ma

                             = 572 x 1.39 = 794.44 N

  Force required to accelerate = 794.44 N

You are at the top of the Empire State Building on the 102nd floor, which is located 373 m above the ground, when your favorite
Liula [17]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

H = actual height of the superhero = ?

H₀ = height of the superhero as observed = 1.73 m

v = speed of the superhero = 0.50 c

Using the equation

H = H_{o} \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{c} \right )^{2}}

Inserting the values

H = 1.73 \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{0.50 c}{c} \right )^{2}}

H = 1.5 m
