At a certain elevation, the ________ , the air becomes saturated and water-vapor molecules ________.
andriy [413]

At certain altitude, the temperature of air decrease, The air becomes saturated and water vapour molecules starts condensing.


As the altitude of air increase, the atmospheric pressure decrease due to which the temperature of the air decrease. The water molecules in the atmosphere start condensing, which saturate the air (that is air can no hold water molecules), due to which the water vapour molecules starts condensing and falls on the earth in the form of rain.

A rectangular tank is filled to a depth of 10m with freshwater and open to air at atmospheric pressure.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<em>1.</em> <em>39068.07 N</em>

<em>2. 19534.036 N</em>

Explanation:

depth of water h = 10 m

atmospheric pressure Patm = 101325 Pa

density of water p = 1000 kg/m^3

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s^2

pressure due to depth of water = pgh

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 10 = 98100 Pa

total pressure on the bottom of the tank is Patm + p = 101325 + 98100 = 199425 Pa

Left plug has diameter = 50 cm = 0.5 m

radius = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

height = 1 cm = 0.01 m

<em>height below tank surface = 10 - 0.01 = 9.99</em>

pressure at this depth =  1000 x 9.81 x 9.99 = 98001.9 Pa

<em>total pressure = Patm + P = 101325 + 98001.9 = 199326.9 Pa</em>

surface area of plug = πr^{2} = 3.142 x 0.25^{2} = 0.196 m^{2}

<em>force required to lift left plug = pressure x area</em>

F =  199326.9 x 0.196 = <em>39068.07 N</em>

<em>The right side is a hemisphere with the same diameter, therefore surface area is half of the left plug</em>

A = 0.196/2 = 0.098 m^{2}

force F required to lift right plug =  199326.9  x 0.098 =<em> 19534.036 N</em>

A student drops a rock from a bridge to the water 12.7 m below. with what speed does the rock strike the water? the acceleration
kolezko [41]

The rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

The speed by which rock hit the water is calculated by the formula

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2*9.8*12.7}

v=15.78 m/sec

Hence, the rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.
