Answer:

The velocity of water at the bottom, v_{b} = 28.63 m/s

Given:

Height of water in the tank, h = 12.8 m

Gauge pressure of water, P_{gauge} = 2.90 atm

Solution:

Now,

Atmospheric pressue, P_{atm} = 1 atm = 1.01\tiems 10^{5} Pa

At the top, the absolute pressure, P_{t} = P_{gauge} + P_{atm} = 2.90 + 1 = 3.90 atm = 3.94\times 10^{5} Pa

Now, the pressure at the bottom will be equal to the atmopheric pressure, P_{b} = 1 atm = 1.01\times 10^{5} Pa

The velocity at the top, v_{top} = 0 m/s, l;et the bottom velocity, be v_{b}.

Now, by Bernoulli's eqn:

P_{t} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{t}^{2} + \rho g h_{t} = P_{b} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{b}^{2} + \rho g h_{b}

where

h_{t} -  h_{b} = 12.8 m

Density of sea water, \rho = 1030 kg/m^{3}

\sqrt{\frac{2(P_{t} - P_{b} + \rho g(h_{t} - h_{b}))}{\rho}} =  v_{b}

\sqrt{\frac{2(3.94\times 10^{5} - 1.01\times 10^{5} + 1030\times 9.8\times 12.8}{1030}} =  v_{b}

v_{b} = 28.63 m/s

If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro
Zielflug [23.3K]
<span>First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet</span>

A negative test charge will accelerate toward regions of ________ electric potential and ________ electric potential energy.
dalvyx [7]

Answer: higher and lower

Explanation:

 charge in an electric field will experience a force in the direction of decreasing potential energy. Since the electric potential energy of a negative charge is equal to the charge times the electric potential the direction of decreasing electric potential energy is the direction of increasing electric potential.
