Answer:

The acceleration of the earth is 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

mass of the apple = 0.43 kg

acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.98 * 10 ^24 kg

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the acceleration of the earth

Following the third law of Newton F = m*a

F(apple) = F(earth) = m(apple)*a(apple)

F(apple) = 0.43 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 4.214 N

a(earth) = F(apple/earth)/m(earth)

a(earth) = 4.214N /5.98 * 10 ^24 kg

a(earth) = 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²

The acceleration of the earth is 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²

A car travels 15 kilometers west in 10 minutes. After reaching the destination, the car travels back to the starting point, agai

Speed = (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).

Strange as it may seem, 'velocity' is completely different.

Velocity doesn't involve the total distance traveled at all.
Instead, 'velocity' is based on 'displacement' ... the distance
between the start-point and end-point, regardless of the route
taken to get there. So the displacement in driving once around
any closed path is zero, because you end up where you started.

Velocity =

   (displacement during some time)
divided by
      (time for the displacement)

AND the direction from the start-point to the end-point.

For the guy who drove 15 km to his destination in 10 min, and then
back to his starting point in 5 min, (assuming he returned by way of
the same 15-km route):

   Speed = (15km + 15km) / (10min + 5min) = (30/15) (km/min)

   = 2 km/min.

Velocity = (end location - start position) / (15 min) = Zero .

A water main pipe of diameter 10 cm enters a house 2 m below ground. A smaller diameter pipe carries water to a faucet 5 m above

Lemur [1.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 cm

Distance = 2 m

Speed $v_{1}= 2\ m/s$

Speed $v_{2}=7\ m/s$

Pressure in main pipe $P_{1}=2\times10^{5}\ Pa$

(I). We need to calculate the diameter

Using equation of continuity

$Av_{1}=Av_{2}$

$\pi(\dfrac{d_{1}}{2})^2\times v_{1}=\pi(\dfrac{d_{2}}{2})^2\times v_{2}$

$(\dfrac{10}{2})^2\times2=(\dfrac{d_{2}}{2})^2\times7$

$d_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{25\times2\times4}{7}}$

$d_{2}=5.345\ cm$

(II). We need to calculate the pressure the gauge pressure

Using Bernoulli equation

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho gh_{1}=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2+\rho g h_{2}$

$P_{2}=P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho(v_{1}^2-v_{2}^2)-\rho g(h_{1}-h_{2})$

$P_{2}=2\times10^{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000(4-49)-1000\times 9.8\times(5)$

$P_{2}=1.28500\times10^{5}\ Pa$

(III). If it is possible to carry water to a faucet 17 m above ground,

Using Bernoulli equation

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho gh=P_{3}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{3}^2+\rho g h_{3}$

$P_{3}=P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2-\rho g(h_{1}-h_{3})$

Here, $h_{3}=0$

Put the value in the equation

$P_{3}=2\times10^{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times4-1000\times 9.8\times17$

$P_{3}=3.5400\times10^{5}\ Pa$

Hence, This is required solution.

A transverse wave is traveling from north to south. Which statement could be true for the motion of the wave particles in the me

Vikki [24]

Transverse waves travel on a direction that is perpendicular to the motion of the particles (or whatever medium is waving) So the particles must be moving east to west, which is transverse to the north-south motion of the wave
