Johnson made a hole at the bottom of a plastic bottle containing water. However, he noticed that the water did not flow out from

the bottle. (a) Explain why the water could not flow out of the bottle. (b) To make the water flow out more easily, his teacher suggested making another hole. At which position - X, Y or Z, should he make the 2nd hole in order for the water to flow out the fastest?

Answer:

  • a) See explanation below

  • b) At X.

Explanation:

Please, see the picture attached with the image of the plastic bottle for this question.

<u>(a) Explain why the water could not flow out of the bottle.</u>

What makes the water flow out of the botlle is the force of gravity, whic attracts the water towards the Earth.

When Johnson made a small hole at the bottom of the plastic bottle containing water, the air outside the bottle, which surrounds it and exerts a pressure all over the outer walls of the bottle, exerted a force against the small area of water "over" the hole that is in contact with the air.

Thus, this force of the air pushing upward through the wall opposed the force of gravity pulling downward making the net force zero and the water cannot fall.

<u>(b) To make the water flow out more easily, his teacher suggested making another hole. At which position - X, Y or Z, should he make the 2nd hole in order for the water to flow out the fastest?</u>

You must open the hole at a place where there is not water but air, such that the outer air can enter in the bottle.

That will make that the pressure in the space over the water inside the bottle be equal to the pressure outside.

The pressure of the air above the water will push it downward. Now, the force from the pressure of air inside the water, which is downward, opposes the upward force from the pressure of air around the first hole, and the net force will be downward, making the water flow out more easily.

Thus, the position where he should make the second hole in order for the water to flow fastest is at X.

What is the net work doneon the object over the distance shown?
GuDViN [60]

A)F_0d

Explanation

If you graph the force on an object as a function of the position of that object, then the area under the curve will equal the work done on that object, so we need to find the area under the function to find the work

Step 1

find the area under the function.

so

Area:

\text{Area}=rec\tan gle_{green}+triangle_{gren}-triangle_{red}\begin{gathered} \text{the area of a rectangle is given by} \\ A_{rec}=lenght\cdot widht \\ \text{and} \\ \text{the area of a triangle is given by:} \\ A_{tr}=\frac{base\cdot height}{2} \end{gathered}

so

\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=rec\tan gle_{green}+triangle_{gren}-triangle_{red} \\ \text{replace} \\ \text{Area}=(F_0\cdot d)+\frac{(F_0\cdot d)}{2}-\frac{(F_0\cdot d)}{2} \\ \text{Area}=(F_0\cdot d) \\ Area=F_0d \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is

A)F_0d

I hope this helps you

Q.01 When charging a secondary cell, energy is stored within a dielectric material using an electric field. True or False
Nitella [24]

True, when charging a secondary cell, energy can be stored within a dielectric material using an electric field.

<h3>Relationship between dielectric material and electric field</h3>

The electric field in a capacitor separates the negative and positive charges in the dielectric material, this causes an attractive force between each plate and the dielectric.

The dielectric material can store electric energy due to its polarization in the presence of external electric field, which causes the positive charge to store on one electrode and negative charge on the other.

Thus, when charging a secondary cell, energy can be stored within a dielectric material using an electric field.

Why is a spectrum of colors produced when white light passes through a prism?
Mkey [24]

Explanation: White light is all colors of light in one, so when white light passes through a prism, the light gets refracted and breaks apart into all of the colors on the visible light spectrum.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm

If r is -\frac{a}{2}

and dm=\frac{M}{a} dr

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a}  } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}

I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2}  } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\  I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}
