Answer:

a) P =392.4[Pa]; b) F = 706.32[N]

Explanation:

With the input data of the problem we can calculate the area of the tank base

L = length = 10[m]

W = width = 18[cm] = 0.18[m]

A = W * L = 0.18*10

A = 1.8[m^2]

a)

Pressure can be calculated by knowing the density of the water and the height of the water column within the tank which is equal to h:

P = density * g *h

where:

density = 1000[kg/m^3]

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

h = heigth = 4[cm] = 0.04[m]

P = 1000*9.81*0.04

P = 392.4[Pa]

The force can be easily calculated knowing the relationship between pressure and force:

P = F/A

F = P*A

F = 392.4*1.8

F = 706.32[N]

The brief wave of positive electrical charge that sweeps down the axon is _____.
kobusy [5.1K]
I believe Action potential is the brief wave of positive charge that sweeps down the axon. Axon is part of the neuron that conducts impulses from the dendrites towards the cell body along the neuron. The action potential is brief since the sodium channels can only stay open for a very brief amount of time. As it travels along the neuron there is a change in polarity across the membrane of the axon .

An object of mass 8kg is attached to massless string of length 2m and swum with a tangential velocity of 3 what is the tension o
Paul [167]

Answer:

36 N

Explanation:

If the object of mass, m = 8 kg is swung in a horizontal circle of radius, r = 2m = length of string with tangential velocity v = 3 m/s, the tension in the string is the centripetal force which is T = mv²/r

= 8 kg × (3 m/s)²/2 m

= 4 kg × 9 m/s²

= 36 N

The critical angle for total internal reflection occurs when:___________.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

b) the refracted ray has an angle of 90 degrees

Explanation:

The angle of incidence is measured with respect to the normal separation of the media. The critical angle for total internal reflection occurs is:

\theta=arcsin(\frac{n_2}{n_1})

Here n_2 and n_1 are the refractive index of the mediums. This equation is an application of Snell's law, for the case where  the refracted ray has an angle of 90^\circ.

A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

  • When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
  • When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.
