Answer:

136.27 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The velocity of the pulse is given as

v = L/t................. Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the pulse, L = total length of the pulse, t = time.

Given: L = 4×2×6.48 (as the pulse makes four tips down and back) = 51.84 m, t = 0.877 s.

substitute into equation 1

v = 51.84/0.877

v = 59.11 m/s.

Using,

But,

v = √(T/m')................... Equation 2

Where T  tension in the cord, m' = mass per unit length of the cord.

make T the subject of the equation

T = v²m'.................... Equation 3

Given: v = 59.11 m/s, m' = 0.253/6.48 = 0.039 kg/m

Substitute into equation 3

T = 59.11²(0.039)

T = 136.27 N

Hence the tension in the cord = 136.27 N

A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 10.5 mm also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 2.95 atmatm. W
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The water is flowing at the rate of 28.04 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

Height of sea water, z₁ = 10.5 m

gauge pressure, P_{gauge \ pressure} = 2.95 atm

Atmospheric pressure, P_{atm} = 101325 Pa

To determine the speed of the water, apply Bernoulli's equation;

P_1 + \rho gz_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \rho gz_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2

where;

P₁ = P_{gauge \ pressure} + P_{atm \ pressure}

P₂ = P_{atm}

v₁ = 0

z₂ = 0

Substitute in these values and the Bernoulli's equation will reduce to;

P_1 + \rho gz_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 =  P_2 + \rho gz_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_1 + \rho gz_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho (0)^2 =  P_2 + \rho g(0) + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_1 + \rho gz_1 =  P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_{gauge} + P_{atm} + \rho gz_1 = P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_{gauge} +  \rho gz_1 =  \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\v_2^2 = \frac{2(P_{gauge} +  \rho gz_1)}{\rho} \\\\v_2 = \sqrt{ \frac{2(P_{gauge} +  \rho gz_1)}{\rho} }

where;

\rho is the density of seawater = 1030 kg/m³

v_2 = \sqrt{ \frac{2(2.95*101325 \ + \  1030*9.8*10.5 )}{1030} }\\\\v_2 = 28.04 \ m/s

Therefore, the water is flowing at the rate of 28.04 m/s.

Which of the following are single-displacement reactions?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A & D

Explanation:

A single-displacement reaction is a chemical reaction whereby one element is substituted for another one in a compound and thereby generating a new element and also a new compound as products.

From the options, only options A & D fits this definition of single-displacement reactions.

For option D: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that K is substituted from KBr to join Cl to form KCl and Br2 on the right hand side.

For option A: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that OH is substituted from 2H2O to join Mg to form Mg(OH)2 and H2 on the right hand side.

The other options are not correct because they don't involve only and element and a compound on each side of the reaction.
