In electricity, the most famous and basic equation is the Ohm's Law which relates the parameters voltage, current and resistance. One form of this law as written in equation is V = IR, where V is the voltage in volts, I is the current in amperes and R is the resistance in ohms. These parameters depends in the arrangements, whether it's series or parallel.

In a series connection, the voltage is greater across a high-resistance resistor. Therefore, the voltage is much greater for the 20-ohm resistor. However,if it is a parallel circuit, the voltage is just the same for both resistors.

A submarine is stranded on the bottom of the ocean with its hatch 21.0 m below the surface. calculate the force (in n) needed to

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

28,400 N

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating the pressure that acts on the upper surface of the hatch. It is given by the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the columb of water, which is given by Stevin's law:

$p_{top} = p_{atm} + \rho g h=1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(21.0 m)=3.071 \cdot 10^5 Pa$

On the lower part of the hatch, there is a pressure equal to

$p_{bot}=p_{atm}=1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa$

So, the net pressure acting on the hatch is

$p=p_{top}-p_{bot}=3.071 \cdot 10^5 Pa - 1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa=2.058 \cdot 10^5 Pa$

which acts from above.

The area of the hatch is given by:

$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (\frac{0.420 m}{2})^2=0.138 m^2$

So, the force needed to open the hatch from the inside is equal to the pressure multiplied by the area of the hatch:

$F=pA=(2.058\cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.138 m^2)=28,400 N$

What tells you the strength of a wave?

castortr0y [4]

The first factor is wind speed, the second factor is wind duration, and the last factor is the fetch, the distance over which the wind blows without a change in direction.

all these factors determines the strength of a wave.

hope this helps :)
