Answer:

The water shoots 15.31 m high above the street level.

Explanation:

The gauge pressure drives the motion of the water to whixhever height it will attain. The expression relating the gauge pressure to the height reached by the water, is

P = ρgh

P = Gauge Pressure = 150 kPa = 150,000 Pa

ρ = density of the fluid (water) = 1000 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height reached by the water = ?

150,000 = 1000 × 9.8 × h

h = (150000) ÷ 9800 = 15.306 = 15.31 m

Hope this Helps!!!

monochromatic light from a distant source is incident on a slit 0.75 mm wide. on screen 2 m away, the distance from the central
hjlf

Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity is 1.35 mm , width of the slit  is 0.75 so  Wavelength of the light  is 506.25.

<h3>How to find Wavelength of the light?</h3>

When a wave is bent by an obstruction whose dimensions are similar to the wavelength, diffraction is observed. We can disregard the effects of extremes because the Fraunhofer diffraction is the most straightforward scenario and the obstacle is a long, narrow slit.

This is a straightforward situation in which we can apply the

Fraunhofer single slit diffraction equation:

y = mλD/a

Where:

y = Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity =  1.35 mm

λ =  wavelength of the light.

D = distance

a = width of the slit = 0.75

m = order number = 1

Solving for λ

λ = y + a/ mD

Changing the information that the issue has provided:

λ = 1.35 * 10^-3 + 0.75 * 10^-3 / 1*2  

=5.0625 *10^-7 = 506.25

so

Wavelength of the light 506.25.

A special rocket can produce 7.66 ✕ 10^5 N of instantaneous thrust with an exhaust speed of 3.05 ✕ 103 m/s in vacuum. What mass
adelina 88 [10]

The mass of fuel the engine burn each second to produce a thrust of 7.66×10⁵ N is 2.5×10² kg/s.

<h3 /><h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass can be defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body. The S.I unit of mass is kilogram(kg)

To calculate the mass the engine burns each seconds, we use the formula below.

Formual:

  • M = T/v............. Equation

Where:

  • M = Mass per seconds of the rocket
  • T = Thrust
  • v = Velocity

From the question,

Given:

  • T = 7.66×10⁵ N
  • v = 3.05×10³ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • M = (7.66×10⁵)/(3.05×10³)
  • M = 2.5×10² kg/s

Hence, the mass of fuel burned in each second is 2.5×10² kg/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

The inclined plane

An inclined plane consists of a sloping surface; it is used for raising heavy bodies. The plane offers a mechanical advantage in that the force required to move an object up the incline is less than the weight being raised (discounting friction). The steeper the slope, or incline, the more nearly the required force approaches the actual weight. Expressed mathematically, the force F required to move a block D up an inclined plane without friction is equal to its weight W times the sine of the angle the inclined plane makes with the horizontal (θ). The equation is F = W sin θ.

The lever

A lever is a bar or board that rests on a support called a fulcrum. A downward force exerted on one end of the lever can be transferred and increased in an upward direction at the other end, allowing a small force to lift a heavy weight.

The wedge

A wedge is an object that tapers to a thin edge. Pushing the wedge in one direction creates a force in a sideways direction. It is usually made of metal or wood and is used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as in securing a hammer head onto its handle.

The wheel and axle

A wheel and axle is made up of a circular frame (the wheel) that revolves on a shaft or rod (the axle). In its earliest form it was probably used for raising weights or water buckets from wells.

Its principle of operation is best explained by way of a device with a large gear and a small gear attached to the same shaft. The tendency of a force, F, applied at the radius R on the large gear to turn the shaft is sufficient to overcome the larger force W at the radius r on the small gear. The force amplification, or mechanical advantage, is equal to the ratio of the two forces (W:F) and also equal to the ratio of the radii of the two gears (R:r)
