A water holding tank measures 85 m long, 55 m wide, and 9 m deep. Traces of mercury have been found in the tank, with a concen-

tration of 65 mg/L.
What is the total mass of mercury in the tank?
Answer in units of kg.

Answer:

Mass = 2734.875 kg

Explanation:

Given that A water holding tank measures 85 m long, 55 m wide, and 9 m deep.

The volume = 85 × 55 × 9 =

= 42075 m^3

Traces of mercury have been found in the tank, with a concen- tration of 65 mg/L.

1 m^3 = 1000 L

Convert cubic meters to litres.

42075 × 1000 = 42075000 L

From definition of density,

Density = mass ÷ volume.

Substitute the given density and the calculated density into the formula

65 = mass ÷ 42075000

Cross multiply

Mass = 65 × 42075000

Mass = 2734875000 mg

Convert mg to kg

To do that, you will divide the answer by 1000000

2734875000 ÷ 1000000

= 2734.875 kg

A baseball is hit at ground level. The ball reaches its maximum height above ground level 3.0 s after being hit. Then 2.5 s afte

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Part a)

$H = 44.1 m$

Part b)

$y = 13.48 m$

Part c)

$d = 8.86 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that ball will reach at maximum height at

t = 3 s

now we will have

$t = \frac{v sin\theta}{g}$

now we have

$3 = \frac{vsin\theta}{9.8}$

$v sin\theta = 29.4 m/s$

Now maximum height above ground is given as

$H = \frac{v^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

$H = \frac{29.4^2}{2(9.8)}$

$H = 44.1 m$

Part b)

Height of the fence is given as

$y = (vsin\theta) t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y = (29.4)(5.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(5.5^2)$

$y = 13.48 m$

Part c)

As we know that its horizontal distance moved by the ball in 5.5 s is given as

$x = v_x t$

$97.5 = v_x (5.5)$

$v_x = 17.72 m/s$

now total time of flight is given as

$T = 3 + 3 = 6 s$

so range is given as

$R = v_x T$

$R = (17.72)(6)$

$R = 106.4 m$

so the distance from the fence is given as

$d = 106.4 - 97.5$

$d = 8.86 m$

Today we can make observations that would lead us to the same conclusion as newton. If you throw a baseball in the air, it always comes back down. This is because of gravity. duh.

If two vectors are perpendicular to each other, how should you add them?

Aleksandr [31]

Let us consider two vectors A and B.

As per the question, the two vectors are perpendicular to each other.

Hence the angle between them $\theta =90 degree$

We are asked to calculate the resultant of these two vectors.

As per parallelogram law of vector addition, the resultant of two vectors are-

$R=\sqrt{A^{2}+ B^{2}+2ABcos\theta$

$=\sqrt{ A^{2}+ B^{2}+2AB*cos90}$ [cos90=0]

$=\sqrt{ A^{2}+ B^{2}$

This is the way by which we can add two perpendicular vectors.
