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 dart is inserted into a spring-loaded dart gun by pushing the spring in by a distance x. For the next loading, the spring is c
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The second dart leaves the gun two times as faster than the first one.

Explanation:

Assuming no energy loss during the spring-dart energy transfer, we have by the conservation of energy principle

U_s = K_d \\ \frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\ v = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2}.

Given an arbitrary x and its double, 2x, launch velocities are

v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2} \text{ and} \\ v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}\left(2x\right)^2} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}4x^2} = 2\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2} = \mathbf{2v_1}.

Superman stops a "speeding locomotive" of mass 8.0x103 kg in 4.0 seconds. If the train was originally moving at 40.m/s,
madreJ [45]

Hello!

<em>a) What is the change in momentum</em>?

The change of the momentum is the velocity, because the velocity is reduced to zero.

We can calculate the aceleration, applicating the formula:

\boxed{a=\frac{V-Vi}{t} }

Like you see, the final velocity will be zero, so:

a = \dfrac{0m/s-40m/s}{4s}

a = \dfrac{-40m/s}{4s}

a = -10\ m/s^{2}

Like you see, the aceleration applicate by superman is of <u>-10 m/s^2.</u>

If the aceleration is negattive, means the velocity will decrease.

<em>b.) What is the magnitud of the force wich superman exerts on the train?</em>

For calculate the force applicate for superman, lets applicate the second law of Newton:

\boxed{F=ma}

Lets replace and resolve it:

F = 8x10^3 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = 8000 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = -80 000 N

The force applicated is of <u>-80000 Newtons.</u>

When the force is negative means the force applicated in the another direction of the object what is traveling.

For a 50 kV anode voltage, what is the maximum photon energy of the x-ray radiation?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The energy of photon, E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of anode, V=50\ kV=50\times 10^3\ V=5\times 10^4\ V

We need to find the maximum energy of the photon of the x- ray radiation. The energy required to raise an electron through one volt is called electron volt.

E=eV

e is charge of electron

E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^4

E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

So, the maximum energy of the x- ray radiation is 8\times 10^{-15}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.
