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.

If for a given pair of media CR
nika2105 [10]

CR​ < CY​ < CB​

<h3>Which factors affect the critical angle for a given pair of media?</h3>

The factors which affect the critical angle are

(a) The colour (or wavelength) of light

(b) The temperature

(i) Effect of colour of light: The critical angle for a pair of media is less for the violet light and more for the red light. Thus the critical angle increases with the increase in wavelength of light.

(ii) Effect of temperature: The critical angle increases with increase in temperature because on increasing temperature of medium, its refractive index decreases.

According to the question,

μ 1​ sinCR​ =1

μ 2​ sinCY =1

μ 3​ sinCB​ =1

μ 1​ > μ 2​  and μ 2​ > μ 3

⟹μ 1​ > μ 2​ > μ 3

CR​ < CY​ < CB​

Thus,

The critical angle increases with the increase in wavelength of light.

the acceleration of a rocket traveling upward is given by a=(6+.02s)m/s^s, where s is in meters. Determine the rocket's velocity
NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) velocity v = 322.5m/s

b) time t = 19.27s

Explanation:

Note that;

ads = vdv

where

a is acceleration

s is distance

v is velocity

Given;

a = 6 + 0.02s

so,

\int\limits^s_0 {a} \, ds  = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ \int\limits^s_0 {6+0.02s} \, ds  = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ 6s + \frac{0.02s^{2} }{2} = \frac{1}{2} v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{12s + 0.02s^{2} } .....................1 \\\\\\

Remember that

v = \frac{ds}{dt} \\\frac{ds}{v} = dt\\\int\limits^s_0 {\frac{ds}{\sqrt{12s+0.02s^{2} } } } \, ds = \int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt \\t=  (5\sqrt{2} ) ln  \frac{| [s + 300 + \sqrt{(s^{2}  + 600s)} ] |}{300} .......2

substituting s = 2km =2000m, into equation 1

v = 322.5m/s

substituting s = 2000m into equation 2

t = 19.27s

Consider the system consisting of the box and the spring, but not Earth. How does the energy of the system when the spring is fu
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.

Explanation:

For this comparison let's use the conservation of energy theorem.

Starting point. Compressed spring

         Em₀ = K_e = ½ k x²

Final point. When the box hits the ground

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

since friction is zero, energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

          1 / 2k x² = ½ m v²

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }     x

Therefore, the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.
