The locks referred to here are the elevators that are used to transport boats safely from one water level to another in dams. These two varying water depths allow river traffic to operate  The attached picture shows how boats enter locks in dam sites.

To regulate traffic, there are traffic lights that signal boatmen to adjust their speed when approaching the lock. The red light means to stop and to steer clear away from the lock to allows the boats inside to exit. The green light signals to enter the lock. Lastly, the amber light means approach the lock at a safe speed and under full control.

Water from a vertical pipe emerges as a 10-cm-diameter cylinder and falls straight down 7.5 m into a bucket. The water exits the
cupoosta [38]

The diameter of the column of the water as it hits the bucket is 4.04 cm

The equation of continuity occurs in the fluid system and it asserts that the inflow and the outflow of the volume rate at the inlet and at the outlet of the system are equal.

By using the kinematics equation to determine the speed of the water in the bucket and applying the equation of continuity to estimate the diameter of the column, we have the following;

Using the kinematics equation:

\mathbf{v_f ^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =(2.0)^2 + 2\times 9.8 \times 7.5}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =151 m/s}

\mathbf{v_f  =\sqrt{151 m/s}}

\mathbf{v_f  =12.29 \ m/s}  

From the equation of continuity:

\mathbf{A_iV_i = A_fV_f}

\mathbf{\pi r^2_iV_i = \pi r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ r^2_iV_i =  r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ (\dfrac{10}{2})^2\times 2.0 =  r_f^2 \times 12.29}

\mathbf{ 50 = 12.29 \times r_f^2}

\mathbf{ r_f=  \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{12.29} }}

\mathbf{ V_f= 2.02 \ cm }

Since diameter = 2r;

∴

The diameter of the column of the water is:

= 2(2.02) cm

= 4.04 cm

What is the difference in the pitch when you are in front of the car compared to behind the car?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:The Doppler effect is a change in the frequency of sound waves that occurs when the source of the sound waves is moving relative to a stationary listener.

As the source of sound waves approaches a listener, the sound waves get closer together, increasing their frequency and the pitch of the sound. The opposite happens when the source of sound waves moves away from the listener.

An electron at Earth's surface experiences a gravitational force of magnitude F=(9.11×10−31 kg)⋅(9.8 m/s2). Part A How far away
katrin [286]

Answer:

r = 5,085 m

Explanation:

The force exerted by on the surface of the Earth on an electron is its weight

          W = F = 9.11 10⁻³¹  9.8

          W = 8.9 10⁻³⁰ N

The electric force between an electron and a proton is given by Coulomb's Law

         Fe = k q₁ q₂ / r²

         Fe = - k q² / r²

They ask us that W = Fe

         W = k q² / r²

          r = √ k q² / W

Let's calculate

        r = √ 8.99 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² /8.9 10⁻³⁰

        r = √ 25.86

        r = 5,085 m

Let's look for the relationship of this distance with the harmonic distance

        R / R_atomic = 5,085 / 10⁻¹⁰

        R / R_Atomic = 5 10¹⁰

We see that this distance is 10¹⁰ times the interatomic distance, so the gravitational attraction force is very small at atomic scale
