Hydraulic conductivity (K) is a property of soil that describes the ease with which water can move through pore spaces. It depends on the permeability of the material (pores, compaction) and on the degree of saturation. Saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ksat, describes water movement through saturated media.

A gas sample is confined within a chamber that has a movable piston. A small load is placed on the piston; and the system is all

timurjin [86]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total weight of the piston, W = F = 70 N

Area of the piston, $a=5\times 10^{-4}\ m^2$

Let P is the pressure exerted on the piston by the gas. The force per unit area is called the pressure exerted pressure of the gas. Mathematically, it is given by :

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$P=\dfrac{70\ N}{5\times 10^{-4}\ m^2}$

$P=1.4\times 10^5\ Pa$

We know that the atmospheric pressure is given by :

$P_o=1.013\times 10^5\ Pa$

So, the pressure is given by :

$p=P+P_o$

$p=1.4\times 10^5+1.013\times 10^5$

$p=2.41\times 10^5\ Pa$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A person sitting on a pier observes incoming waves that have a sinusoidal form with a distance of 2.5 m between the crests. Of a

Doss [256]

Answer:

Part(a): The frequency is $\bf{0.2~Hz}$ .

Part(b): The speed of the wave is $\bf{0.5~m/s}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

The distance between the crests of the wave, $d = 2.5~m$ .

The time required for the wave to laps against the pier, $t = 5.0~s$

The distance between any two crests of a wave is known as the wavelength of the wave. So the wavelength of the wave is $\lambda = 2.5~m$ .

Also, the time required for the wave for each laps is the time period of oscillation and it is given by $T = 5.0~s$ .

Part(a):

The relation between the frequency and time period is given by

$\nu = \dfrac{1}{T}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)$

Substituting the value of $T$ in equation (1), we have

$\nu &=& \dfrac{1}{5.0~s}\\~~~&=& 0.2~Hz$

Part(b):

The relation between the velocity of a wave to its frequency is given by

$v = \nu \lambda~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(2)$

Substituting the value of $\nu$ and $\lambda$ in equation (2), we have

$v &=& (0.2~Hz)(2.5~m)\\~~~&=& 0.5~m/s$

After polishing his 2-kg wrestling trophy, Mike sets it down on the ground and walks away to find more polish. Meanwhile, Julie

klio [65]

1) The initial momentum of the trophy is zero

2) The initial momentum of the bowling ball is 160 kg m/s

3) The total momentum before the collision is 160 kg m/s

4) The total momentum of the system after the collision is 160 kg m/s

5) The final velocity of the trophy is 32 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The momentum of an object is given by

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

In this problem, the data for the trophy before the collision are:

m = 2 kg is the mass

v = 0 is its initial velocity

Therefore, the initial momentum of the trophy is

$p_1=(2)(0)=0$

2)

Using the same equation used in part 1), the initial momentum of the bowling ball is

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the bowling ball

v is its initial velocity

The data of the problem are

m = 8 kg is the mass

v = 20 m/s is the velocity

Substituting,

$p_2=(8)(20)=160 kg m/s$

3)

The total momentum of the system before the collision is given by the sum between the initial momentum of the trophy and the initial momentum of the bowling ball:

$p_i = p_1 + p_2$

where

$p_1$ is the initial momentum of the trophy

$p_2$ is the initial momentum of the ball

Here we have

$p_1 = 0$

$p_2 = 160 kg m/s$

Therefore, the total momentum is

$p_i = 0 + 160 = 160 kg m/s$

4)

According to the law of conservation of momentum, for an isolated system (=no external unbalanced forces acting on the system), the total momentum of the system is conserved before and after the collision:

$p_i = p_f$

where

$p_i$ is the total momentum before the collision

$p_f$ is the total momentum after the collision

If we consider the system in the problem to be isolated (i.e. no frictional forces acting on the ball or the trophy), we can therefore say that the total momentum after the collision must be equal to the total momentum before the collision: therefore,

$p_f = 160 kg m/s$
