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.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

270 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 63 m/s

a = 2.8 m/s²

t = 4.0 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (63 m/s) (4.0 s) + ½ (2.8 m/s²) (4.0 s)²

Δx = 274.4 m

Rounded to two significant figures, the displacement is 270 meters.

"Calculate the speed of this sound wave by recording how much time it takes to travel 5 meters. Use the (old school) velocity eq
lianna [129]
1) sound velocity reported by you : 292.39 m /s

2) time to travel 1620m at that velocity: t = d / v = 1620 m / 292.39 m/s = 5.54 s, since the moment the sound wave started.

3) You might wanted to tell the time since you watched the lightning.

Then you can calculate the time since the lighting was generated,1620 m away from you, until you saw it, using the speed of light:

 speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s => t = 1620 m / (3*10^8m/s) =0.0000054 s

Then, this time is completely neglectible, and yet the answer is 5.54 s, as calculated in the step 2.
