A coat rack weighs 65.0 lbs when it is filled with winter coats and 40.0 lbs when it is empty. The base of the coat rack has an

area of 452.4 in2. How much more pressure, in psi (pounds per square inch), is exerted by the coat rack on the floor when it is filled with winter coats than when it is empty

Answer:

0.056 psi more pressure is exerted by filled coat rack than an empty coat rack.

Explanation:

First we find the pressure exerted by the rack without coat. So, for that purpose, we use formula:

P₁ = F/A

where,

P₁ = Pressure exerted by empty rack = ?

F = Force exerted by empty rack = Weight of Empty Rack = 40 lb

A = Base Area = 452.4 in²

Therefore,

P₁ = 40 lb/452.4 in²

P₁ = 0.088 psi

Now, we calculate the pressure exerted by the rack along with the coat.

P₂ = F/A

where,

P₂ = Pressure exerted by rack filled with coats= ?

F = Force exerted by filled rack = Weight of Filled Rack = 65 lb

A = Base Area = 452.4 in²

Therefore,

P₂ = 65 lb/452.4 in²

P₂ = 0.144 psi

Now, the difference between both pressures is:

ΔP = P₂ - P₁

ΔP = 0.144 psi - 0.088 psi

<u>ΔP = 0.056 psi</u>

When a honeybee flies through the air, it develops a charge of +20 pC . Part A How many electrons did it lose in the process of
Yuri [45]

Answer:

1.3 × 10⁸ e⁻

Explanation:

When a honeybee flies through the air, it develops a charge of +20 pC = + 20 × 10⁻¹² C. This is a consequence of losing electrons (negative charges). The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96468 C (Faraday's constant). The moles of electrons representing 20 pC are:

20 × 10⁻¹² C × (1 mol e⁻/ 96468 C) = 2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol e⁻

1 mole of electrons has 6.02 × 10²³ electrons (Avogadro's number). The electrons is 2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ moles of electrons are:

2.1 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol e⁻ × (6.02 × 10²³ e⁻/ 1 mol e⁻) = 1.3 × 10⁸ e⁻

Which of the following accurately describe some aspect of gravitational waves? Select all that apply.
steposvetlana [31]
<h2>Answers:</h2>

-The first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015

-The existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity

-Gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources of emission

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Gravitational waves were discovered (theoretically) by Albert Einstein in 1916 and "observed" for the first time in direct form in 2015 (although the results were published in 2016).  

These gravitational waves are fluctuations or disturbances of space-time produced by a massive accelerated body, modifying the distances and the dimensions of objects in an imperceptible way.  

In this context, an excellent example is the system of two neutron stars that orbit high speeds, producing a deformation that propagates like a wave,<u> in the same way as when a stone is thrown into the water</u>. So, in this sense, gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources .

Therefore, the correct options are D, E and F.

A two-slit Fraunhofer interference-diffraction pattern is observed with light of wavelength 672 nm. The slits have widths of 0.0
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of diffraction , angular width of central maxima =2 λ/d

λ is wave length of light and d is slit width

In case of interference , angular width of each fringe

= λ /D

D is distance between two slits

No of interference fringe in central diffraction fringe

=2 λ/d x D/λ = 2 x D /d = 2 x .24/.03 = 16.
