A gate in an irrigation canal is constructed in the form of a trapezoid 2 m wide at the bottom, 38 m wide at the top, and 2 m hi

gh. It is placed vertically in the canal so that the water just covers the gate. Find the hydrostatic force on one side of the gate.
Note that your answer should be in Newtons, and use g = 9.8 m/s2.

Answer:

Explanation:

Area of trapezoid =[(2 + 38) / 2 ] x 2 = 40 sq m .

Pressure at the centre of the trapezium

= h d g = 1 x 10³ x 9.8 N / m²  ( height of centre is 1 m )

= 9800 N /m²

Total force required = pressure at the centre x total area

9800 x 40 = 392 x 10³ N.

A boy throws a ball up into the air with a speed of 8.2 m/s. The ball has a mass of 0.3 kg. How much gravitational potential ene
diamong [38]
We can use the law of conservation of energy to solve the problem.

The total mechanical energy of the system at any moment of the motion is:
E=U+K = mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where U is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

At the beginning of the motion, the ball starts from the ground so its altitude is h=0 and therefore its potential energy U is zero. So, the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:
E_i = K_i =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(0.3 kg)(8.2 m/s)^2=10.09 J

When the ball reaches the maximum altitude of its flight, it starts to go down again, so its speed at that moment is zero: v=0. So, its kinetic energy at the top is zero. So the total mechanical energy is just potential energy:
E_f = U_f
But the mechanical energy must be conserved, Ef=Ei, so we have
U_f = K_i
and so, the potential energy at the top of the flight is
U_f = K_i = 10.09 J

Why do we see black? Is light being admitted reflected or absorbed or transmitted
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:When white light strikes an object, each individual frequency of light is transmitted, reflected, or absorbed, depending on the properties of the surface molecules. If all frequencies are absorbed by the object, then it appears black. If all frequencies are reflected, then it appears white.
