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

Even though you are getting closer to the sun as you ascend into the toposphere, why does the temperature drop?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: The lower areas of the Atmosphere have a high temperature through the heats from the ground.

Explanation: High temperature experienced on the Earth surface is majorly caused by heats from the ground ( Earth crust).As a person ascend up to the Toposphere the temperature continues to reduce because because the heat from the ground is reduced as the heights increased.

It has been proven that as a person ascends into the Toposphere the amount of air and pressure reduces this will eventually lead to expansion of the gas particles which will then reduce the temperature.

1. The statement about Newton's reflecting telescope contains 1 error. Find the error, write it, and
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

i. The error is the rough convex mirror.

ii. This should be replaced with a smooth convex morror.

Explanation:

Reflection is dependent on the surface involved and has two types; diffuse and specular. When the surface is rough, diffused reflection is observed. The surface causes a distortion of the incident light (the rays would be reflected at different angles to one another) after reflection. This makes some rays to interfere with one another. While specular reflection is observed with a smooth surface.

In the statement, the rough convex mirror would produce a distorted reflection which would produce diffused reflection. The effect is that few or no rays (depending on the degree of how rough the surfce is) would be reflected to the other smooth, flat diagonal mirror.

zaharov [31]
Batteries always use direct current. That eliminates A and C. The other part of the answers is just asking what direct/alternating means. Alternating currents change directions moving one way then another. Direct current only moves in one direction. Therefore, the answer is D, since the current is direct and direct currents move in one direction.

Recessed incandescent luminaires not marked type ic and those marked for installing directly in ___________ must not have insula
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Recessed incandescent luminaires not marked type ic and those marked for installing directly in insulated ceilings must not have insulation over the top of the luminaire.

Explanation:

Depending on how they interact with insulation, lighting fixtures are rated at various levels. Non-IC rated lighting fixtures can accommodate higher wattage bulbs, but they also pose the greatest fire risk when used with the incorrect insulation.

In locations with insulation, light fixtures that are not IC rated may be installed. But there is a condition. The distance between the fixture and any insulation should be 3 inches. But the 3 inch gap in the insulation would negate the goal of insulation by producing a lot of uninsulated space, so this defies logic. Building a box-style cover to cover the fixture on the attic side is one option to fix this. Drywall or foil-faced foam insulation can be used to create this box. After the cover is put in place, insulation can be added for maximum effectiveness.
