Why does water stay in a straw if you put your finger over it?

Physics
1 answer:
aivan3 [116]3 years ago
3 0

What's going on is that the water in the straw is pushed into the straw by the air pressure outside of the straw. As long as the pressure outside is able to overcome the force of gravity, the liquid will stay in the straw.

44. ( John weighs 80 kg, and eats a 1,000 J candy bar. If his
Darina [25.2K]

John can run with the velocity of 5 m/s

Explanation:

  • Kinetic energy is defined as the energy is being used to do an activity, basically energy associated with the motion of objects in the universe.
  • The formula used to find the kinetic energy of an object is k = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} where as k represented as kinetic energy, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the given object.
  • Here, to find the answer we have to re-write the equation as v = \sqrt[2]{\frac{2 k}{m} }
  • Given, the mass of the object, here it is John = 80 kg, energy needs to be converted to kinetic energy, k = 1000  J.
  • Hence, substitute all the values, then you would velocity as 5 m/s

A cat leaps into the air to catch a bird with an initial speed of 2.74 m/s at an angle of 60.0° above the ground. What is the hi
Volgvan

Answer: D. 0.29 m

Explanation:

We will use the following equations to describe the leap of the cat:

y=V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}   (1)

V_{y}=V_{oy}-gt   (2)

Where:

y  is the height of the cat  

V_{oy}=V_{o}sin\theta is the cat's initial velocity

\theta=60\°

g=9.8m/s^{2}  is the acceleration due gravity

t is the time

V_{y} is the y-component of the velocity

Now the cat will have its maximum height y_{max} when V_{y}=0. So equation (2) is rewritten as:

0=V_{oy}-gt   (3)

Finding t:

t=\frac{V_{oy}}{g}=\frac{V_{o}sin\theta}{g}   (4)

t=\frac{2.74 m/s sin(60\°)}{9.8m/s^{2}}   (5)

t=0.24 s   (6)

Substituting (6) in (1):

y_{max}=(2.74 m/s)sin(60\°) (0.24 s)-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})(0.24 s)^{2}}{2}   (7)

Finally:

y_{max}=0.287 m \approx 0.29 m   (8)

The iron-rich core of the Moon is thought to be about how many kilometers in diameter?
natka813 [3]
The moon is thought to have an iron-rich core whose radius
is 330 km, plus or minus an uncertainty of 20 km.

That puts its diameter in the range of  620 km to 700 km.

Your friend thinks that the escape speed should be greater for more massive objects than for less massive objects. Provide an ar
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Concepts and Principles

1- Kinetic Energy: The kinetic energy of an object is:

K=1/2*m*v^2                                                         (1)  

where m is the object's mass and v is its speed relative to the chosen coordinate system.  

2- Gravitational potential energy of a system consisting of Earth and any object is:  

 U_g = -Gm_E*m_o/r*E-o                                   (2)  

where m_E is the mass of Earth (5.97x 10^24 kg), m_o is the mass of the object, and G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2 is Newton's gravitational constant.  

Solution  

The argument:  

My friend thinks that escape speed should be greater for more massive objects than for less massive objects because the gravitational pull on a more massive object is greater than the gravitational pull for a less massive object and therefore the more massive object needs more speed to escape this gravitational pull.  

The counterargument:  

We provide a mathematical counterargument. Consider a projectile of mass m, leaving the surface of a planet with escape speed v. The projectile has a kinetic energy K given by Equation (1):

K=1/2*m*v^2                                                         (1)  

and a gravitational potential energy Ug given by Equation (2):  

Ug = -G*Mm/R

where M is the mass of the planet and R is its radius. When the projectile reaches infinity, it stops and thus has no kinetic energy. It also has no potential energy because an infinite separation between two bodies is our zero-potential-energy configuration. Therefore, its total energy at infinity is zero. Applying the principle of energy consersation, we see that the total energy at the planet's surface must also have been zero:  

K+U=0  

1/2*m*v^2 + (-G*Mm/R) = 0

1/2*m*v^2 =  G*Mm/R

1/2*v^2 = G*M/R

solving for v we get

v = √2G*M/R

so we see v does not depend on the mass of the projectile
