$1m*0.5m=0.5m^2\\
g=10\frac{m}{s^2}\\
300kg*10\frac{m}{s^2}=3000N\\
3000N--0.5m^2\\
\ \ x\ \ --\ 1\\
x=6000Pa=60kPa$

A filled water tower sits on the top of the highest hill near a city. The cylindrical tower has a height of 55.0 m

Reika [66]

Answer:

539 kPa

Explanation:

Pressure equals density times acceleration of gravity times depth.

P = ρgh

Water has a density of 1000 kg/m³, and acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (55.0 m)

P = 539,000 Pa

P = 539 kPa

A small object carrying a charge of -4.00 nC is acted upon by a downward force of 24.0 nN when placed at a certain point in an e

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

$E = -6 \ N/C$

Generally given that the electric field is negative it mean that its direction is opposite to that of the force

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge on the small object is $Q = -4.00 \ nC = -4.00 *10^{-9} \ C$

The force is $F = 24 \ nN = 24 *10^{-9} \ N$

Generally the magnitude of the electric field is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{F}{Q}$

=> $E = \frac{ 24 *10^{-9}} {-4 *10^{-9 }}$

=> $E = -6 \ N/C$

Generally given that the electric field is negative it mean that its direction is opposite to that of the force

What is the component in a car engine that would detect the need for air?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Control of air–fuel ratio

Oxygen sensors tell the ECU whether the engine is running rich (too much fuel or too little oxygen) or running lean (too much oxygen or too little fuel) as compared to ideal conditions (known as stoichiometric).

Answer:

You are asked to design a cylindrical steel rod 50.0 cm long, with a circular cross section, that will conduct 170.0 J/s from a furnace at 350.0 ∘C to a container of boiling water under 1 atmosphere.

Explanation:

Given Values:

L = 50 cm = 0.5 m

H = 170 j/s

To find the diameter of the rod, we have to find the area of the rod using the following formula.

Here Tc = 100.0° C

k = 50.2

H = k × A × $\frac{[T_{H -}T_{C} ] }{L}$
