The deeper you go, the more rock must be supported so the more force is required and the pressure goes up.

enyata [817]3 years ago

Answer:

Pressure is force per unit area. In this case the force is primarily the weight of the overlying rock. So , in very simple terms, the deeper you go the more rock must be supported so the more force is required and the pressure goes up. It is basically the same thing that happens in the ocean and in the atmosphere.

Determine the mass of the object below to the correct degree of precision.
OleMash [197]

Answer : The correct degree of precision is 272.94 g.

Explanation :

Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 2.7 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.

Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

In the given figure, the value of mass of object is 280 g. From the given options we conclude that the 272.94 g is more close to 280 g and has maximum number of decimal places. So, 272.94 g measurement is said to be precise.

Therefore, the correct degree of precision is 272.94 g.

If The dimensions of a brick that weighs 25N are 0.19m x 0.07m x 0.095m. What pressure does the brick exert on the ground if it
valina [46]
1 newton per square meter = 1 pascal of pressure.

The largest face of the brick is (0.19 x 0.095) = .01805 square meter

25N/0.01805 = 1,385 newtons per square meter = 1,385 pascal  = 1.385 kPa

Light of wavelength 550nm in air is found to travel at 1.96
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

ν = 5.45 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of light = 550 nm

                                = 550 x 10⁻⁹ m

speed of light = 1.96 x 10⁸ m/s

speed of sound = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

frequency of the light = ?

we know.

v = \nu \lambda

frequency of the light in the liquid is same as the frequency of the light in the air.

 ν is the frequency of light

\nu = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

\nu = \dfrac{3\times 10^{8}}{550\times 10^{-9}}

    ν = 5.45 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Hence, the frequency of light in the liquid is equal to ν = 5.45 x 10¹⁴ Hz
