A container is filled with water to a depth of 26.2 cm. On top of the water floats a 16.1 cm thick layer of oil with a density of

0.85 × 103 kg/m3. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 . a) What is the pressure at the surface of the water? Answer in units of Pa.

Answer:

1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Explanation:

density of oil = 0.85 x 10^3 kg/m^3

g = 9.81 m/s^2

height of oil column = 16.1 cm = 0.161 m

Pressure on the surface of water = height of oil column x density of oil x g

                                                      = 0.161 x 0.85 x 10^3 x 9.81 = 1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Thus, the pressure on the surface of water is 1.34 x 10^3 Pa.

A weight lifter lifts a dumbbell a certain height in 2.0 s, while a competitor does the same workin 1.0 s. Compared to the power
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a. one-half as great

Explanation:

The power developed by the first lifter is one-half as great as that of the second person.

  Power is defined as the rate at which work is done;

          Power  = \frac{workdone}{time}

Since the two lifters do the same work at different time, let us estimate their power;

       P₁ = \frac{workdone}{2}                     P₂ = \frac{workdone }{1}

   We see that for P₁, power is half of the work done whereas in P₂ power is the same as the work done.

Therefore,

           The power of the first weight lifter is one-half the second lifter.

John and Caroline go out for a walk one day. This graph represents their distance from home.
Serga [27]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  We have velocity of a body = Change in position/ Time.

  Considering first portion of graph,

  Change in position = 30 - 0 = 30 m

  Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

   Velocity = 30/2700 = 0.011 m/s

  Considering second portion of graph,

  Change in position = 30 - 30 = 0 m

  Time = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

   Velocity = 0/1800 = 0 m/s

 Considering third portion of graph,

  Change in position = 0 - 30 = -30 m

  Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

   Velocity = -30/2700 = -0.011 m/s

So firstly they walked in one direction(positive direction), then they were still(velocity is zero), then they walked in the opposite direction( velocity is negative).

Option C is the correct answer.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Why do we see sedimentary rocks more often than igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

because they are the rocks that line the surface of our planet ​

Explanation:

We see sedimentary rocks more than other rock types because they are the rocks that line the surface of our planet.

Sedimentary rocks typically form the earth cover due to the way they are formed.

  • These rocks are produced by the weathering, transportation and deposition of sediments within a basin.
  • In this basin, the sediment is lithified and converted to sedimentary rocks.
  • These processes are driven by the external heat engine
  • Therefore, it is confined to the surface.
  • Igneous and metamorphic rock's processes are confined to the subsurface.
