A research submarine has a 20-cm-diameter window that is 9.0 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The maximum safe depth in salt water is 3758.2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 20 cm

Radius = 10 cm

Thickness = 9.0 cm

Force $F = 1.2\times10^{6}\ N$

Inside pressure = 1.0 atm

We need to calculate the area

Using formula of area

$A=\pi\times r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$A=\pi\times(10\times10^{-2})^2$

$A=0.0314\ m^2$

We need to calculate the pressure

Using formula of pressure

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{1.2\times10^{6}}{0.0314}$

$P=38216560.50\ Pa$

$P=3.8\times10^{7}\ Pa$

We need to calculate the maximum depth

Using equation of pressure

$P=P_{atm}+\rho gh$

$h=\dfrac{P-P_{atm}}{\rho g}$

Put the value into the formula

$h=\dfrac{3.8\times10^{7}-101325}{1029\times9.8}$

$h=3758.2\ m$

Hence, The maximum safe depth in salt water is 3758.2 m.

A block of mass 500g is pulled from rest on ahorizontal frictionless bench by a steady force F and travels 8m in 2s find the acc

Korvikt [17]

<u>We are Given:</u>

Mass of the block (m) = 500 grams or 0.5 Kg

Initial velocity of the block (u) = 0 m/s

Distance travelled by the block (s) = 8 m

Time taken to cover 8 m (t)= 2 seconds

Acceleration of the block (a) = a m/s²

<u>Solving for the acceleration:</u>

From the seconds equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2* (at²)

<em>replacing the variables</em>

8 = (0)(2) + 1/2(a)(2)²

8 = 2a

a = 4 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the block is 4 m/s²

A box slides down a frictionless incline, gaining speed. The work done by the normal force n is _______.

jeka57 [31]

The work done by the normal force n when the box slides down a frictionless incline and gaining speed is zero.

<h3>What is normal force?</h3>

The force of contact is called the normal force. When the two surfaces are in contact with each other, then the normal force acts.

This force is applied by the solid bodies on each other in order to prevent the passing through each other.

A box slides down a frictionless incline, gaining speed. For this box, the value of work done by normal force has to be found out. Let's analyze the given condition.

The body is gaining the speed, which means there is a change in kinetic energy.
The change in kinetic energy is equal to the work done.
The friction force is the product of coefficient of the friction and normal force.
The friction force for the given case is zero. Thus, the normal force must be equal to the zero.

Thus, the work done by the normal force n when the box slides down a frictionless incline and gaining speed is zero.
