4. The Mariana trench is in the Pacific Ocean and has a depth of approximately 11,000 m. The density of seawater is approximatel
Alex73 [517]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between pressure and density is as follows.

            P = \rho gh

where,    P = pressure

     \rho = density

            g = acceleration due to gravity

            h = height

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

              P = \rho gh

                 = 1025 \times 9.8 \times 11000

                 = 110495000 Pa

Now, relation between pressure and force is as follows.

                P = \frac{F}{A}

or,            F = PA

                F = 110495000 \times \pi \times (0.1)^{2}

                   = 3.47 \times 10^{6} N

Thus, we can conclude that a force of 3.47 \times 10^{6} N can be  experienced at such depth.

A piece of glass has a temperature of 72.0 degrees Celsius. The specific heat capacity of the glass is 840 J/kg/deg C. A liquid
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

741 J/kg°C

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature of glass, T(g) = 72° C

Specific heat capacity of glass, c(g) = 840 J/kg°C

Temperature of liquid, T(l)= 40° C

Final temperature, T(2) = 57° C

Specific heat capacity of the liquid, c(l) = ?

Using the relation

Heat gained by the liquid = Heat lost by the glass

m(l).C(l).ΔT(l) = m(g).C(g).ΔT(g)

Since their mass are the same, then

C(l)ΔT(l) = C(g)ΔT(g)

C(l) = C(g)ΔT(g) / ΔT(l)

C(l) = 840 * (72 - 57) / (57 - 40)

C(l) = 12600 / 17

C(l) = 741 J/kg°C

Three point charges, two positive and one negative, each having a magnitude of 20 C are placed at the vertices of an equilateral
Daniel [21]

The resultant force on the positive charge  is mathematically given as

X=40N

<h3>What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the negative charge?</h3>

Question Parameters:

Three-point charges, two positive and one negative, each having a magnitude of 20

Generally, the -ve charge   is mathematically given as

Q+=\sqrt{x^2+x^2+2x.xcos120}\\\\Q+=\sqrt{2x^2+2x*(1/2)}

Q+=X

Therefore

x=\frac{Kq1q2}{r2}\\\\x=\frac{9*10^9*20*10^{-6}*20*10^{-6}}{(30*10^-2)^2}

X=40N

1. The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are
Anni [7]

The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are independent of each other.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The path of a projectile is determined by two components of motion. They are termed as horizontal and the vertical components. Since both components velocity are perpendicular to each other, so it can stated that they are independent of each other.

Even it can seen that when the horizontal components of velocity is constant, then there will be change in the vertical components of velocity leading to free fall projectile path.

And in the absence of gravity, there will be change in the horizontal components of velocity with zero vertical component of velocity. Thus, the horizontal and the vertical components of a projectile’s velocity are seemed to be independent of each other.
