For this case, the first thing you should know is that density is defined as the quotient between mass and volume.
 d = m / v
 We have then for this case that the density is:
 d = 103 Kg / m ^ 3
 The volume is given by:
 V = A * d
 Where
 A: area of the city
 d: height of the rain
 Also, for calculation purposes, you must know the following measure:
 1Km = 1000m
 1 inch = 0.0254 meters
 Calculating the volume we have:
 V = (22 * (1000/1) ^ 2) * (2 * (0.0254 / 1)) = 1117600 m ^ 3
 Then, calculating the mass we have:
 m = d * v
 m = (103) * (1117600) = 115112800 Kg
 Equivalently
 m = 1.15 * 10 ^ 8 Kg
 answer
 mass of water fell on the town was 1.15 * 10 ^ 8 Kg

We want to convert everything to meters so we can calculate cubic meter volume and use the given mass information.  
2 inches = 5.08 centimeters = .0508 meters.  
22 square kilometers = 22,000,000 sq meters.  
The product of these gives the number of cubic meters of water that rained. .0508 * 22,000,000 = 1,117,600 cubic meters.  
Multiply by the mass to arrive at final answer. 1,117,600 m^3 * 103kg/m^3 = 115,112,800 kg  
115,112,800 kg of water fell.

The 68-kg crate is stationary when the force P is applied. Determine the resulting acceleration of the crate if (a) P = 0, (b) P
bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

Mass of the crate, m = 68 kg

We need to find the resulting acceleration if :

(a) Force, P = 0

P = m a

⇒ a = 0

(b) P = 181 N

a=\dfrac{P}{m}

a=\dfrac{181\ N}{68\ kg}

a=2.67\ m/s^2

(c) P = 352 N

a=\dfrac{P}{m}

a=\dfrac{352\ N}{68\ kg}

a=5.17\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

A wooden block with mass 1.60 kg is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of a slope inclined at an angle of 30.0° (p
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 1.60 kg

Angle = 30.0°

Distance = 6.55 m

Speed = 7.50 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.50

We need to calculate the amount of potential energy

Using formula of conservation of energy between point A and B

U_{A}+k_{A}+w_{A}=U_{B}+k_{B}

U_{A}+0-fd=mgy+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

U_{A}=\mu mg\cos\theta\times d+mg h\sin\theta+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Put the value into the formula

U_{A}=0.50\times1.60\times9.8\cos30\times6.55+1.60\times9.8\times6.55\sin30+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.60\times(7.50)^2

U_{A}=88.8\ J

Hence, The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.

The kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 6.8 kg and a velocity of 5.0 m/s is J. (Report the answer to two significant figu
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Kinetic \ energy \ (KE) = 85 \ J}

Given:

Mass (m) = 6.8 kg

Speed (v) = 5.0 m/s

To Find:

Kinetic energy (KE)

Explanation:

Formula:

\boxed{ \bold{\sf KE =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }}

Substituting values of m & v in the equation:

\sf \implies KE =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 6.8 \times  {5}^{2}

\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}}  \times  \cancel{2} \times 3.4 \times 25

\sf \implies KE =3.4 \times 25

\sf \implies KE = 85 \: J

A grating whose slits are 3.2x10^-4 cm apart produces a third-order fringe at a 25.°0 angle. What is the wavelength of light tha
Ber [7]

Answer:

The light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.

Explanation:

let:

n be the order fringe

Ф be the angle that the light makes

d is the slit spacing of the grating

λ be the wavelength of the light

then, by Bragg's law:

n×λ = d×sin(Ф)

λ = d×sin(Ф)/n

λ = (3.2×10^-4 cm)×sin(25.0°)/3

  = 4.51×10^-5 cm

  ≈ 4.51×10^-7 m

Therefore, the light used has a wavelenght of 4.51×10^-7 m.
