Answer:

155.25 atm

Explanation:

Distance, h = 1.6 km = 1600 m

density of water = 13.6 times less than the density of mercury

density of mercury = 13.6 x 10^3 kg/m^3

So, density of water = 1 x 10^3 kg/m^3

Pressure exerted by the water

P = distance x density of water x acceleration due to gravity

P = 1600 x 1000 x 9.8

P=1.568\times10^{8}Pa

We know that

1 atm = 1.01 x 10^5 Pa

So, P=1.568\times10^{8}Pa = P=\frac{1.568\times10^{8}}{1.01\times10^{5}}=155.25 atm

how do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate
professor190 [17]

While skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which pushes against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.

The Old Faithful geyser found in Yellowstone Park is an example of _____.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

cone geyser

Explanation:

The Old Faithful geyser is the oldest discovered geyser in the Yellowstone national park. The eruptions of the geyser are particularly predictable. It is a cone type geyser.

Cone geysers generally have a spout through which the water ejects out. When super heated water in the tube then the water starts to boil and form bubbles of steam, after this process the eruption takes place.

in the figure shown, if the mass of the block is 4kg and the coefficient of static friction is 0.5 and the coefficient of kineti
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Ff = 19.6 N

Explanation:

So since its saying whats the minimum F to move the block, we will use static friction (0.5).

We will use the equation for force of friction, which is Ff = uFn

Ff = (0.5)(4)(9.8)

Ff = 19.6 N

this is the minumum force needed to move the block, as that is the frictional force. You would need to apply a minimum force of 19.6 N to move the block
