I don't understand why when you use a straw the higher pressure outside of it pushes the water up the straw.

Pressure is force acting on an area .
in the same area, more pressure means more force.

2 person, pressure outside and one in straw push water against each other. more pressure outside, so more force it pushes ... where will the water flow?

When material stuff is free to move, it moves away from stronger force on it to weaker force on it. OK ? Now take it to the next step: When material stuff is free to flow ... like liquid or gas ... it flows from higher pressure to lower pressure. That's what makes wind, and that's why water comes out of a garden hose when you open the nozzle. It doesn't amaze you at all when you INCREASE the pressure at one end of the straw (blow into it), and air moves DOWN and out of it. So it shouldn't bother you that when you DECREASE the pressure at your end, anything that's free to flow UP the straw will do that.

Calculate the force of gravity between a 2.50 kg newborn baby and a 80.0 kg doctor standing 0.250 m away. G = 6.67 E -11 N*m2/kg
Alex787 [66]

Answer: 2.13 × 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

Gravitational force exists between any two bodies having mass.

Force of gravity is given by:

F =G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

It is given that, mass of newborn baby is M = 2.50 kg

Mass of the doctor, m = 80.0 kg

Distance between the two, r = 0.250 m

Gravitational constant, G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

⇒F = (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg² × 2.50 kg × 80.0 kg )÷ (0.250 m)² = 2.13 × 10⁻⁷ N

Thus, the force of gravity between new born baby and doctor is 2.13 × 10⁻⁷ N.

What happens when two waves meet
Alexxandr [17]

Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individualwaves upon the particles of the medium.Hope this help!

A tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground. The ball leaves his racquet with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle 5.0 ∘ above t
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial height, yo = 2 m

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

angle of projection,θ = 5 degree

distance of net = 7 m

height of net = 1 m

Let it covers a vertical distance y in time t .

Use Second equation of motion for vertical motion

y=y_{0}+uSin\theta t-1/2 gt^{2}

y=2+20Sin5 t-4.9t^{2}

As it hits the ground in time t, so put y = 0

0=2+1.74 t-4.9t^{2}

4.9t^{2}-1.74t-2=0

t= \frac{1.74\pm\sqrt{1.74^{2}+4\times\2\times4.9}}{9.8}

Taking positive sign, t = 0.84 s

The ball travels a horizontal distance x in time t

X = 20 Cos5 x t

X =  16.76 m

As this distance is more than the distance of net, so it clears the net.

Let t' be the time taken to travel a horizontal distance equal to the distance of net

7 = 20 cos5 x t'

t' = 0.35 s

Let the vertical distance traveled by the ball in time t' is y'.

So,

y'=y_{0}+uSin\theta t'-1/2 gt'^{2}

y'=2+20Sin5 t-4.9\times0.35^{2}

y' = 2.008 m

So, it clears the net which is 1 m high.

It clears the net by a vertical distance of 2.008 - 1 = 1.008 m and horizontal distance 16.76 - 7 = 9.76 m
