At the bottom of a large cylindrical tank filled with fresh water the gauge pressure is 11.6 psi. What is the height (in feet) o

Answer:

8.19m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Pressure, P= 11.6 psi = 79979.185 Pa

Gauge pressure is given as:

P = h*d*g

=> h = P/(d*g)

Where

h = height of tank

d = density

g = acceleration due to gravity

Density of water = 997 kg/m³

Therefore, the height of the tank is:

h = 79979.185/(997 * 9.8)

h = 8.19m

A shopper walks westward 2.8 meters in the first 5 minutes and then eastward 9.2 meters in the next 10 minutes. What is the shop
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

12m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance walked westward  = 2.8m

Time of travel  = 5min

Distance walked eastward = 9.2m

Time of travel  = 10min

Unknown:

The total shopper's travel distance  = ?

Solution:

Total distance traveled is the sum of the length of path covered by a body. It is a scalar quantity.

 Total distance = distance walked westward + distance walked eastward

  Total distance  = 2.8m + 9.2m  = 12m

If you were designing a room in a house, where would be the better place to put a heater, near the floor or near the ceiling? Wh
taurus [48]

Answer: The correct explanation is 2.

Explanation: The warm air is less dense (it expands) and thus it is lighter than the cold air so it will rise up to the floor. Therefore, when you place the heater on the floor it will warm the cold air which would then rise and be replaced by more cold air which would again get warm and rise and so on until the room is heated. This means that the correct explanation is 2.

On the other hand, if you put the heater at the ceiling, it will warm the cold air near the ceiling which would stay up there (it is lighter than the cold air under it). This means that the only way for the heat to spread from this ceiling level warm air to the lower levels is via conduction which is slow.
