Answer:

10.32874 m

Explanation:

P_a = Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height of water

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

If the walls of the tube do not collapse that means that maximum pressure inside will be the atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure is given by

P_a=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{P_a}{\rho g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{101325}{1000\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=10.32874\ m

The maximum height to which Superman can lift the water is 10.32874 m

On the Moon there is no atmosphere so no atmospheric pressure which means when the straw is placed in water water will not rise in the tube.

A pendulum has 484 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
mihalych1998 [28]
-- Energy is never created or destroyed.

-- No energy is added to the pendulum during its swing.

-- If we ignore air resistance and friction, then no energy is lost
from the pendulum during its swing.

-- Therefore the total energy of the pendulum must be constant.

-- Any potential energy lost at any point in the swing
must show up as kinetic energy.  If it had 484J at the top,
then it'll have 484J at the bottom.

What is the resistance of a 15 ampere current with 8 volts of potential difference?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Resistance in circuit = 0.53 ohm (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Flow of current in circuit = 15 amp

Potential difference = 8 Volts

Find:

Resistance in circuit

Computation:

In an electrical system, resistance is a stopper of a material to electric current.

Resistance in circuit = Potential difference / Flow of current in circuit

Resistance in circuit = 8 / 15

Resistance in circuit = 0.53 ohm (Approx.)
