1110 atm    

Let's start by calculating how many cm deep is 36,000 feet. 

 36000 ft * 12 in/ft * 2.54 cm/in = 1097280 cm   

 Now calculate how much a column of water 1 cm square and that tall would mass. 

 1097280 cm * 1.04 g/cm^3 = 1141171.2 g/cm^2   

 We now have a number using g/cm^2 as it's unit and we desire a unit of Pascals ( kg/(m*s^2) ).  

 It's pretty obvious how to convert from g to kg. But going from cm^2 to m is problematical. Additionally, the s^2 value is also a problem since nothing in the value has seconds as an unit. This indicates that a value has been omitted. We need something with a s^2 term and an additional length term. And what pops into mind is gravitational acceleration which is m/s^2. So let's multiply that in after getting that cm^2 term into m^2 and the g term into kg.   

 1141171.2 g/cm^2 / 1000 g/kg * 100 cm/m * 100 cm/m = 11411712 kg/m^2 

 11411712 kg/m^2 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 111834777.6 kg/(m*s^2) = 111834777.6 Pascals   

 Now to convert to atm 

 111834777.6 Pa / 1.01x10^5 Pa/atm = 1107.2750 atm   

 Now we gotta add in the 1 atm that the atmosphere actually provides (but if you look closely, you'll realize that it won't affect the final result). 

 1107.274 atm + 1 atm = 1108.274 atm   

 And finally, round to 3 significant figures since that's the accuracy of our data, giving 1110 atm.

Do you think an observer on another planet in the solar system might see eclipses
artcher [175]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Eclipses: Eclipses are also known as game of shadows where one object comes between the star(light source) and another object in a straight line such that the shadow of one object falls on other object. This can occur when the apparent size of the star and the object is almost same.

Talking about the Earth, the geometry is such that the Moon and the Sun are of same apparent size as seen from the Earth. Thus Lunar and Solar eclipse can be seen from the Earth. If we were to go on any other planet the same phenomenon can be seen provided the apparent size of moon and the Sun from that planet is same.

We have seen and recorded many such eclipses on Jupiter. These are from the perspective of Earth. When the moons of Jupiter comes exactly between the Sun and Jupiter the shadow of moon will fall on Jupiter. The places where the shadow falls, one will see a solar eclipse.

A bullet with a mass of 20 g and a speed of 960 m/s strikes a block of wood of mass 4.5 kg resting on a horizontal surface. The
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

<h2>4.25m/s</h2><h2>E. None of the option is correct</h2>

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum to solve the problem. According to the law, the sum of momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with the same velocity after collision.

Mathematically.

mu + MU = (m+M)v

m and M are the masses of the bullet and the block respectively

u and U are their respective velocities

v is their common velocity

from the question, the following parameters are given;

m = 20g = 0.02kg

u = 960m/s

M = 4.5kg

U =0m/s (block is at rest)

Substituting this values into the formula above to get v;

0.02(960)+4.5(0) = (0.02+4.5)v

19.2+0 = 4.52v

4.52v = 19.2

Dividing both sides by 4.52

4.52v/4.52 = 19.2/4.52

v = 4.25m/s

Since they have the same velocity after collision, then the speed of the block immediately after the collision is also 4.25m/s
