Answer - 12,900 Newtons

Explanation

First, we find the volume of the water
Volume = Area * Heinght
= 1.5 m² x 7 m
=  10.5 m³
 
Covert the volume to liters
1 m³ of water = 1000  liters
10.5 m³ of water = 10.5 m³ * 1000 liters liter/m³
= 10,500 liters
 
Use the volume of water to calculate the mass
1 liter of water weighs 1 kg
10,500 liters of water = 10,500 * 1 kg/liter
= 10,500 kg
 
Now, we can calculate the force of gravity on the water
Force of gravity on the water = Weight of the water
Weight = Mass * Acceleration
 
Mass = 10,500kg
Acceleration (due to gravity) = 9.8 m/s²

Force of gravity on the water
= Weight of the water
= Mass * Acceleration
= 10,500 kg * 9.8 m/s²
 = 102,900 Newtons

What happens to the density of a given substance if you increase the amount of the substance that you have?
Amanda [17]
Have you ever looked up the density of a substance ?  You ought to try it.  Go ahead. Pick a substance, then go online or open up an actual book and find its density.  You will never see any particular volume mentioned along with the density . . . because it doesn't matter.  The whole idea of density is that it describes the substance, no matter how much or how little you have of it.  The density of a tiny drop of water under a microscope is the same as the density of a supertanker-ful of water.

List the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength
Lilit [14]
The rays of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest to longest wavelength are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, optical rays, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma-rays.

EDIT: He has these backwards, the shortest wavelength is created by Gamma-Rays and the longest is Radiowaves.

<span> Remember- high energy = short wavelength. </span>

A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. the fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential h
BartSMP [9]
Specific Gravity of the fluid = 1.25 
Height h = 28 in
 Atmospheric Pressure = 12.7 psia
 Density of water = 62.4 lbm/ft^3 at 32F
 Density of the Fluid = Specific Gravity of the fluid x Density of water = 1.25 x 62.4
 Density of the Fluid p = 78 lbm/ft^3
 Difference in pressure as we got the differential height, dP = p x g x h  dP = (78 lbm/ft^3) x (32.174 ft/s^2) x (28/12 ft) [ 1 lbf / 32.174 ft/s^2] [1 ft^2 /
144in^2]
 Difference in pressure = 1.26 psia
 (a) Pressure in the arm that is at Higher 
 P = Atmospheric Pressure - Pressure difference = 12.7 - 1.26 = 11.44 psia
 (b) Pressure in the tank that is at Lower
 P = Atmospheric Pressure + Pressure difference = 12.7 + 1.26 = 13.96psia

a 13-gram bullet, moving at 270 m/s, penetrates a 2 kg block of wood and emerges at a speed of 130 m/s. if teh block sits one a
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

1.52m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Substitute the given values into the formula

0.013(270)+2(130) = (270+130)v

3.51+260 = 400v

263.51 = 400v

v = 400/263.51

v = 1.52m/s

Hence the velocity after the bullet emerges is 1.52m/s
