A rain cloud contains 5.32 × 107 kg of water vapor. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . How long would it take for a 2.0

7 kW pump to raise the same amount of water to the cloud’s altitude of 2.61 km? Answer in units of s.

Answer:

20.85 years

Explanation:

2.61 km = 2610 m

2.07 kW = 2070 W

First we need to calculate the potential energy required to take m = 5.32 * 10^7 kg of rain cloud to an altitude of 2610 m is

E = mgh = 5.32 * 10^7 * 9.81 * 2610 = 1.4*10^{12}J

With a P = 2070 W power pump, this can be done within a time frame of

t = E/P = \frac{1.4*10^{12}}{2070} = 658037739 s

or 658037739/(60*60) = 182788 hours or 182788 / 24 = 7616 days or 7616 / 365.25 = 20.85 years

On a highway curve with a radius of 46 meters, the maximum force of static friction that can act on a 1,200 kg car going around
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

v\approx 16.956\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The motion of the vehicule on a highway curve can be modelled by the following equation of equilibrium:

\Sigma F = f = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

The maximum speed is:

v = \sqrt{\frac{f\cdot R}{m} }

v = \sqrt{\frac{(7500\,N)\cdot (46\,m)}{1200\,kg} }

v\approx 16.956\,\frac{m}{s}

Explain how the fountain pen is filled up with ink​
Leno4ka [110]

Answer: A piston-filling fountain pen has a piston — just like in a car — inside the barrel. This piston goes down to expel air or ink and then back up, pulling ink into the barrel. The typical process is very simple, assuming the pen is clean and dry: Push the piston down, expelling any air in the barrel

Which condition is necessary for total internal reflection? A. The refracted ray should lie along the boundary of the two media.
g100num [7]

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection, which is when light hits the boundary between two mediums and reflects back into its original medium:

Light is about to pass from a more optically dense medium (slower) to a less optically dense medium (faster).

The angle of incidence is greater than the defined critical angle for the two mediums, which is given by:

θ = sin⁻¹(n_{fast}/n_{slow})

Where θ = critical angle, n_{fast} = refractive index of faster medium, n_{slow} = refractive index of slower medium.

Choice C gives one of the above necessary conditions.
