Explain how the pressure at the bottom of a container depends on the container shape and the fluid height

1 answer:

3 0

The pressure at the bottom of a column of fluid in a container
depends only on the depth of the fluid, not on the shape of the
container. The pressure is simply the result of the weight of the
fluid resting on the bottom.

1)Light of wavelength 588.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 55.5 cm from the slit

Talja [164]

Answer:

These are Diffraction Grating Questions.

Q1. To determine the width of the slit in micrometers (μm), we will need to use the expression for distance along the screen from the center maximum to the nth minimum on one side:

Given as

y = nDλ/w Eqn 1

where

w = width of slit

D = distance to screen

λ = wavelength of light

n = order number

Making x the subject of the formula gives,

w = nDλ/y

Given

y = 0.0149 m

D = 0.555 m

λ = 588 x 10-9 m

and n = 3

w = 6.6x10⁻⁵m

Hence, the width of the slit w, in micrometers (μm) = 66μm

Q2. To determine the linear distance Δx, between the ninth order maximum and the fifth order maximum on the screen

i.e we have to find the difference between distance along the screen (y₉-y₅) = Δx

Recall Eqn 1, y = nDλ/w

given, D = 27cm = 0.27m

λ = 632 x 10-9 m

w = 0.1mm = 1.0x10⁻⁴m

For the 9th order, n = 9,

y₉ = 9 x 0.27 x 632 x 10-9/ 1.0x10⁻⁴m = 0.015m

Similarly, for n = 5,

y₅ = 5x 0.27 x 632 x 10-9/ 1.0x10⁻⁴m = 0.0085m

Recall, Δx = (y₉-y₅) = 0.015 - 0.0085 = 0.0065m

Hence, the linear distance Δx between the ninth order maximum and the fifth order maximum on the screen = 6.5mm

A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 31 C to Earth (or vice versa). How many electrons are transferred?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

$m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g$

$n_e=1.935\times 10^{20}$ is the no. of electrons

Explanation:

Given:

quantity of charge transferred, $Q=31\ C$

No. of electrons in the given amount of charge:

As we have charge on one electron $1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C$

so,

$n_e=\frac{Q}{e}$

$n_e=\frac{31}{1.602\times 10^{-19}}$

$n_e=1.935\times 10^{20}$ is the no. of electrons

Now if each water molecules donates one electron:

Then we require $n=1.935\times 10^{20}$ molecules.

Now the no. of moles in this many molecules:

$n_m=\frac{n}{N_A}$

where

$N_A=6.022\times 10^{23}$ Avogadro No.

$n_m=\frac{1.935\times 10^{20}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}$

$n_m=3.213\times 10^{-4}\ moles$

We have molecular mass of water as M=18 g/mol.

So, the mass of water in the obtained moles:

$n_m=\frac{m}{M}$

where:

m = mass in gram

$3.213\times 10^{-4}=\frac{m}{18}$

$m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g$

The principle of work states that the ratio of work output to work input is always

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

work output is always less than work input - the ratio is less than 1.

Explanation:

This principle comes from the fact that a machine or system cannot produce more work than is supplied to it, because this would violate the energy conservation law (work is a type of mechanical energy).

In theoretical machines called "ideal machines" the input work is the same as the output work, but these machines are only theoretical because in real applications there is always some type of energy loss, either in heat produced by a machine or processes for its operation, for this reason the output work is always less than the input work.

Regarding the ratio work output to work input:

$\frac{WO}{WI} < 1$

because work input WI is always greater than work output WO.
