The main reason why it's very dangerous to open compress gas tank is it can cause major disaster not only in human but also in plants and animals. Compress gas is flammable. And it's like a bomb the damage of gas tank is very catastrophic. It is very harmful if mishandled.

Answer:

Extreme pressure of the gas exerted on the walls of tank or cylinder is most likely the reason

Explanation:

Normally, compressed gas is filled in a container at a high pressure, because there is no other method you can fill a gas in this container. You need a greater quantity of gas filled in container and then transported to other places for various purposes. Now usually a valve is placed at the opening of tank or cylinder to control the flow of gas when using it. If you break open the container, the gas molecules will break out at a rapid velocity, since, according to Newton's third law of motion, which is,

Every action has an equal but opposite reaction

the force exerted by gas to flow out into atmosphere will equally act on container as well but in opposite direction. It can cause container to move haphazardly in very fast speed and container can collide with you or any other person standing nearby.

Secondly, it depend upon the nature of gas that it is might be poisonous or inflammable and when breaks out in environment, it can cause damage to the people who inhale it or it might cause fire in the surroundings. That is why, it is dangerous to break open a container of compressed gas.

A woman with mass 50 kg is standing on the rim of a large disk that is rotating at 0.80 rev/s about an axis through its center.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

angular momentum, $L=1.4\times 10^4\ kg-m^2/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the woman, m = 50 kg

Angular velocity of the disk, $\omega=0.8\ rev/s=5.02\ rad/s$

Mass of the disk, m' = 2670 kg

Radius of the disk, R = 4 m

We need to find the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the woman–disk system. The moment of inertia of the system is equal to the sum of moment of inertia of women and the moment off inertia of the disk.

$I=mR^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m'R^2\\\\I=R^2(m+\dfrac{1}{2}m')\\\\I=(4)^2\times (50+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 270)\\\\I=2960\ kg-m^2$

The angular momentum is given by :

$L=I\omega\\\\L=2960\times 5.02\\\\L=14859.2\ kg-m^2/s$

$L=1.4\times 10^4\ kg-m^2/s$

So, the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the woman–disk system is $1.4\times 10^4\ kg-m^2/s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose that the sound level of a conversation is initially at an angry 71 dB and then drops to a soothing 54 dB. Assuming that

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the decibel scale , intensity of sound changes logarithmically as follows

$10log\frac{I}{I_0} =$ Value in decibel scale , the value of I₀ = 10⁻¹² W /m².

Putting the values

$10log\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 71$

$log\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 7.1$

$\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 10^{7.1}$

$I= 10^{-4.9}$ W/m²

Similarly for 54 dB sound intensity can be given as follows

I = 10⁻¹² x $10^{5.4}$

$I= 10^{-6.6 }$ W / m²

For intensity of sound the relation is as follows

I = 2π²υ²A²ρc where υ is frequency , A is amplitude , ρ is density of air and c is velocity of sound .

Putting the given values for 71 dB

$I= 10^{-4.9}$ = 2π² x 504²xA²x 1.21 x 346

A² = 60.03 x 10⁻¹⁶

A = 7.74 x 10⁻⁸ m

For 54 dB sound

$10^{-6.6}$ = 2π² x 504²xA²x 1.21 x 346

A² = 1.1978 x 10⁻¹⁶

A = 1.1 x 10⁻⁸ m

2. A 2.5 meter-long wave travels at 1 m/s towards a fixed boundary. After 2 seconds, how does the wave appear?

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Since incident wave and its reflected part in opposite phase superimpose on each other

So correct answer will be

Option B

Explanation:

Here we know that the wave reflection is done by rigid boundary

So when wave is reflected by the boundary then its phase is reversed by 180 degree

so the reflected wave is in reverse phase from the boundary

so we can superimpose the reflected part with incident wave to dine the resultant wave

So the phenomenon is given as follow

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

1. increases

2. increases

3. increases

Explanation:

Part 1:

First of all, since the box remains at rest, the horizontal net force acting on the box must equal zero:

F1 - fs = 0.

And this friction force fs is:

fs = Nμs,

where μs is the static coefficient of friction, and N is the normal force.

Originally, the normal force N is equal to mg, where m is the mass of the box, and g is the constant of gravity. Now, there is an additional force F2 acting downward on the box, which means it increases the normal force, since the normal force by Newton's third law, is the force due to the surface acting on the box upward:

N = mg + F2.

So, F2 is increasing, that means fs is increasing too.

Part 2:

As explained in the part 1, N = mg + F2. F2 is increasing, so the normal force is thus increasing.

Part 3:

In part 1 and part 2, we know that fs = Nμs, and since the normal force N is increasing, the maximum possible static friction force fs, max is also increasing.
