Indicate whether the statement is true or false. A force can be simply defined as a push or a pull.

This B: False, because the definition is lacking.

Force is when two objects interact with one another causing it to either move or not move. In our daily lives there are a lot of times force is exerted upon us, rather force is everywhere and here are the evidences:

*Pushing a cart
*Pushing a wall
*Hitting a baseball bat
*Apple falling down from a tree.
*Balls hitting one another
*A swinging pendulum
*Throwing a paper with stone above it
*Breaking of glass in the floor
*Falling of leaves on the grass

Your office has a 0.025 m^3 cylindrical container of drinking water. The radius of the container is about 13 cm. Required:a. Whe

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a) 105935.7 Pa

b) 103630.35 Pa

Explanation:

The volume of the container = 0.025 m^3

The radius of the container = 13 cm = 0.13 m

We have to find the height of the tank

From the equation for finding the volume of the cylinder,

V = $\pi r^2h$

where

V is the volume of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

substituting values, we have

0.025 = 3.142 x $0.13^2$ x h

0.025 = 0.0531h

h = 0.025/0.0531 = 0.47 m

Pressure at the bottom of the tank P = ρgh

where

ρ is the density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

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

h is the depth of water which is equal to the height of the tank

substituting values, we have

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.47 = 4610.7 Pa

atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

therefore, the pressure in the tank bottom above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 4610.7 Pa = 105935.7 Pa

b) For half way down the container, depth of water will be = 0.47/2 = 0.235 m

pressure P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.235 = 2305.35 Pa

This pressure above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 2305.35 Pa = 103630.35 Pa

One boat tows another boat by means of a tow line, which is under a constant tension of 465 N. The boats move at a constant spee

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Work done, W = 141174 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Constant tension acting on the boat, T = F = 465 N

Speed of the boat, v = 4.6 m/s

Time, t = 1.1 min = 66 seconds

Let W is the work done by the tension. It is equal to the product of force and displacement. It is given by :

$W=F\times d$

Since, $d=vt$

$W=F\times v\times t$

$W=465\ N\times 4.6\ m/s\times 66\ s$

W = 141174 Joules

So, the work is done by the tension is 141174 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

How does the search for exoplanets help us describe how science requires creativity?

Aliun [14]

Answer:

As the planets are very small and dark in comparison with stars, it makes them very hard to be found from earth.

Explanation:

Astronomy, of course, has a solution for this. As astronomers can't observe planets directly, they decided to observe the stars and search for the effects that planets have on them.

There are many ways of observing the exoplanets: Radial Velocity, Transit Photometry, Microlensing, Astrometry, Direct Imaging, etc.

Before all of this, scientist had to find ways to prove their theories. Most of their time they have spent in giving the creative answers.

Science and creativity are very much connected when we speak about the development of science. Rationality and creativity always go together.

In order to create an idea that other people will consider useful, it is important to use creativity. As no one has the exact answer when it comes to science, the adventure is to research the unknown.
