Many cultures around the world still use a simple weapon called a blowgun, a tube with a dart that fits tightly inside. A sharp

breath into the end of the tube launches the dart. When exhaling forcefully, a healthy person can supply air at a gauge pressure of 6.0 kPa.
Required:
What force does this pressure exert on a dart in a 1.5-cm-diameter tube?

Answer:

F = 1.06N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the force that produces the given pressure you take into account the following formula:  

P=\frac{F}{A}          (1)

P: pressure = 6.0kPa = 6.0*10³ Pa

F: force = ?

A: cross-sectional area of the tube = π r^2

r: radius of the tube = 1.5cm/2 = 0.75cm = 0.75*10^-2 m

You solve the equation (1) for F, and replace the values for the area A and the pressure P:

F=PA=(6.0*10^{3}Pa)(\pi(0.75*10^{-2}m)^2)\\\\F=1.06N

The force tha produces a pressure of 6.0kPa in a tube with a diameters of 1.5cm is 1.06N

Why echo sound cannot be heard in small room
Art [367]
They can't hear an echo in small room because in it the sound can't be reflected back. For an echo of a sound to be heard,the minimum distance between the source of sound and the walls of the roomshould be 17.2 m. Obviously,in asmall room echoes cannot beheard.

An aquarium open at the top has 30-cm-deep water in it. You shine a laser pointer into the top opening so it is incident on the
Setler [38]

Answer:

You must add 8cm of water to the tank

Explanation:

In order to find how much the height is we will use the Snell Refraction law

.

This law relates the index of refraction of the water (n2), the index of refraction of the air (n1), the incidence angle relative to the vertical (theta1) and the refraction angle relative to the vertical (theta2) by using the next equation:

(n1)*(sin(theta1))=(n2)*(sin(theta2))

Then we will find the refraction angle relative to the vertical this way:

(n1/n2)*(sin(theta1))=sin(theta2)

(1/1.33)*(sin(45))=sin(theta2)

Then, theta2=32.12°

Now that we have this information we can imagine a triangle with a 30cm height and a 32.12° angle. This way we can find how much X is, this X will be the distance between the vertical line and the spot the beam hits the bottom, so we can use some trigonometry to find it, this way:

tan(32.12)=(X/30cm)

X=(tan(32.12))*(30cm)

Then, X=18.8cm, we can approximate it to 19cm

Once we have X we will add 5cm to it which is how much the beam needs to be moved, then the new X will be 24cm

Now, with the new horizontal distance we will find the new vertical distance, let´s call it Y, this way we will know how much water we must add to move the beam, then we will have a triangle with a vertical distance called Y, the same 32.12° angle will be used as we are still working with the air-water interface and a 19cm horizontal distance, then:

tan(32.12)=(24cm/Y)

Y=(24cm/tan(32.12))

Then, Y=38cm

In this case, you must add 8cm of water to the tank to move the beam on the bottom 5cm
