Answer:

speed = 7.9 m/s

Explanation:

speed = total distance / time taken

speed = 300 / 38

speed = 7.89473684 m/s

to the nearest tenth

speed = 7.9 m/s

The maximum pressure variations the human ear can withstand are about how much above and below atmospheric pressure?

Crank

The maximum pressure variations the human ear can withstand above and below atmospheric pressure is around 30 pa. the normal atmospheric pressure is around 101325 pa. hence the variation in the maximum pressure for human ear is very small as compared to the atmospheric pressure. if the ear is exposed to a pressure greater than this , it can cause permanent damage to the ear.

A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic fo

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The Hydrostatic force is $F = 137.2 kN$

The location of pressure center is $Z = 1.333 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the gate is $h = 3 \ m$

The weight of the gate is $w = 7 \ m$

The height of the water is $h_w = 2 \ m$

The density of water is $\rho_w = 1000 \ kg/m^3$

Note used $h_w$ for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water is mathematically represented as

$A = h_w * w$

substituting values

$A = 2* 7$

$A = 14 \ m^2$

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

$F = \rho_w * g * h_f * A$

Where

$h_f =h- h_w$

$h_f =3 -2$

$h_f = 1\ m$

So

$F = 1000 * 9.8 * 1 * 14$

$F = 137.2 kN$

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

$Z = h_f + \frac{I_g}{h_f * A}$

Where $I_g$ is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

$I_g = \frac{w * h_w^2}{12}$

The $h_w$ is the height of gate immersed in water

$I_g = \frac{7 * 2^2 }{12}$

$I_g = 4.667\ kg m^2$

Thus

$Z = 1 + \frac{4.66}{1 * 14}$

$Z = 1.333 \ m$

This chart shows characteristics of three different types of waves.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1. Primary or P waves are push and pull waves

2. Secondary, S or Shear Waves are also called transverse wave

3. L or surface waves reach the earth's surface after P and S waves

A small block with a mass of 0.120 kg is attached to a cord passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface (Fig. 6

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

a) 0.147 N

b) 9.408 N

c) 9.261 N

Explanation:

The tension on the cord is the only force keeping the block in circular motion, thus representing the entirety of its centripetal force $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$ . Plugging in values for initial and final states and we get answers for a and b. The work done by the person causes the centripetal force to increase, and thus is the difference between the final tension and the initial tension.
