Why does the oil in some salad dressings rise to the top of the bottle?

Physics

dusya [7]3 years ago

Oil is less dense than water or most liquids found in Saldana dressing, so the denser liquid sinks to the bottom, leaving the oil on top. It's same principle on how a helium balloon floats in air, the helium is less density than the air around it.

Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average speed of 3 m/s at a rate of 550 m3/s at a location 58 m above the lake surf
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1. 0.574 kJ/kg

2. 315.7 MW

Explanation:

1. The mechanical energy per unit mass of the river is given by:

E_{m} = E_{k} + E_{p}

E_{m} = \frac{1}{2}v^{2} + gh

Where:

Ek is the kinetic energy

Ep is the potential energy

v is the speed of the river = 3 m/s

g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h is the height = 58 m

E_{m} = \frac{1}{2}(3 m/s)^{2} + 9.81 m/s^{2}*58 m = 0.574 kJ/Kg

Hence, the total mechanical energy of the river is 0.574 kJ/kg.

2. The power generation potential on the river is:

P = m(t)E_{m} = \rho*V(t)*E_{m} = 1000 kg/m^{3}*550 m^{3}/s*0.574 kJ/kg = 315.7 MW

Therefore, the power generation potential of the entire river is 315.7 MW.

I hope it helps you!

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of an empty 2.0 x 101 kg vat made of
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Q = 7272 Kilojoules.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 2.0*101kg = 202kg

Initial temperature, T1 = 10°C

Final temperature, T2 = 90°C

We know that the specific heat capacity of iron = 450J/kg°C

*To find the quantity of heat*

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

  • Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.
  • m represents the mass of an object.
  • c represents the specific heat capacity of water.
  • dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 90 - 10

dt = 80°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 202*450*80

Q = 7272KJ or 7272000 Joules.

You are heading toward an island in your speed boat when you see a friend standing on the shore of the island. You sound the boa
monitta

Answer:

Greater than

Explanation:

The Wavelength will be higher than what will be heard without any motion on the boat due to the Doppler Effect, which is the change in the frequency of a sound wave whenever there's a relative motion between the source of the wave and observer. The amount of shift in frequency depends on the speed of the source towards the observer; the higher the velocity of the source, the higher the shift.

6. If a bicyclist, with initial velocity of zero, steadily gained speed until reaching a final velocity of 39m/s, how far would
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

  175 m

Explanation:

The average velocity for constant acceleration is the average of the beginning and ending velocities. That is (0+39)/2=19.5 m/s. If the bicyclist rides for 9 seconds, the distance traveled is ...

  (9 s)(19.5 m/s) = 175.5 m

She would travel 175.5 meters in that time.
