Answer:

a) The total force is 4659.8 N

b) The gauge pressure is 50764 Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure inside = 0

Patm = pressure outside = 1.013x10⁵Pa

Pressure difference = ΔP = 1.013x10⁵ - 0 = 1.013x10⁵Pa

a) The area is equal:

A=12*6=72in^{2} =0.046m^{2}

The force is:

F=delta-P*A=1.013x10^{5} *0.046=4659.8N

b) The gauge pressure at the bottom is equal:

P=\rho gh

Where:

ρ = density = 1000 kg/m³

h = 17 ft = 5.18 m

Replacing:

P=1000*9.8*5.18=50764Pa

What happens to the volume of a loaf of bread that is squeezed? The mass? The density?
nalin [4]

Explanation:

The volume of the bread decreases, making the bread appear more compact, and smaller in size. The mass stays the same, it won't change unless part of the bread is removed. The density increases, the air bubbles inside of the bread get squished down, causing the bread to be smaller, and in turn, causing it to be more solid.

I hope this helped!

Thanks!

13. Describe the molecules of a solid in terms of kinetic energy.
Y_Kistochka [10]
The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
