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.

An insulated Thermos contains 140 cm3 of hot coffee at 85.0°C. You put in a 15.0 g ice cube at its melting point to cool the cof
Pavel [41]

Answer:

T = 69^o C

Explanation:

Here at thermal equilibrium we can say that thermal energy given by Hot coffee is equal to the thermal energy absorbed by ice cubes

So here we have

Q_{ice} = Q_{coffee}

now since ice cubes are added into coffee when it is at melting temperature

So here we can say that final temperature of coffee is T degree C

Now we have

m_1L + m_1c_1\Delta T_1 = m_2c_2\Delta T_2

here we have

m_1 = 15 gram

L = 333 kJ/kg = 333 J/g[/tex]

c_1 = c_2 = 4186 J/kg C = 4.186 J/g C

\Delta T_1 = T - 0

\Delta T_2 = 85 - T

now we have

15(333) + 15(4.186)(T - 0) = 140(4.186)(85 - T)

4995 + 62.79T = 49813.4 - 586.04T

648.83 T = 44818.4

T = 69^o C

when the mass of an object is increased it would decrease its acceleration in the force is left alone
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

This analysis can be easily deduced by means of Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of the forces or the total force on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = total force [N]

m = mass [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

We must clear the acceleration value.

a=\frac{F}{m}

We see that the term of the mass is in the denominator, so that if the value of the mass is increased the acceleration decreases, since they are inversely proportional.

Differentiate between velocity ratio and relative velocity in two points ??
stellarik [79]
The difference between velocity and relative velocity is that velocity is measured with respect to a reference point which is relative to a different point. While relative velocity is measured in a frame where an object is either at rest or moving with respect to the absolute frame.

Ann puts a beaker on the scale which shows the mass to be 1.65kg. The actual mass was 1.72 kg. what was the percent error in Ann
mojhsa [17]

Measured reading is 1.65 kg

actual reading was 1.72 kg

error in the reading is 1.72 - 1.65 = 0.07 kg

Now percentage error is given as

error = \frac{error}{true reading}*100

error = \frac{0.07}{1.72}*100

error = 4.1

<em>so this is -4.1% error as the measured reading is less than the actual value</em>
