Answer:

The reason why the height for the liquid is 5.18 m is because, for constant pressure, height is inversely proportional to density.

Explanation:

We know that pressure, P = ρgh where ρ = density of material, g = 9.8 m/s and h = height.

Since density of liquid = 2 × density of water = 2 × 1000 kg/m = 2000 kg/m³

Since atmospheric pressure = 101500 N/m²,

The height of liquid for this pressure is h = P/ρg = 101500/(2000 × 9.8) = 5.18 m

For the same pressure, the height for water is h = P/ρg = 101500/(1000 × 9.8) = 10.36 m

Since pressure = constant,

P = ρgh ⇒ P/ρg = h since P and g are constant, h ∝ 1/ρ

ρ₁h₁ = ρ₂h₂

So, the reason why the height for the liquid is 5.18 m is because, for constant pressure, height is inversely proportional to density.

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has a magnitude of 3.7m/s2.​ We want
lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

It is given that, Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10 m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has a magnitude of 3.7 m/s².

The second equation of kinematics gives the relationship between the height reached and time taken by it.

Here, the ball is droped under the action of gravity. The value of acceleration due to gravity on Mars is positive.

We want to know how many seconds the basketball is in the air before it hits the ground. So, the formula is :

\Delta x=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

t is time taken by the ball to hit the ground

v_o is initial speed of the ball

So, the correct option is (A).

A lawnmower engine running for 20 minutes does 4560000 j of work. What is the power output of the engine
Alenkasestr [34]

<em>Answer: </em>

tim e (t) = 20 min.

            = 20 × 60 = 1200 s ,

Work ( W) = 4560000 J

                 = 4560 KJ ,

Determine:

                 Power output (P) = Work ÷ time

                                              = 4560 ÷  1200

                                         <em>   P  = 3.8 KW</em>
