Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer, mathematician, translator, artist, and physicist among other things. He is best known as the first astronomer to posit the idea of a heliocentric solar system—a system in which the planets and planetary objects orbit the sun.

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

A car moves along a curved road of diameter 2 km. If the maximum velocity for safe driving on this path is 30 m/s, at what angle
Leto [7]
The maximum velocity in a banked road, ignoring friction, is given by;

v = Sqrt (Rg tan ∅), where R = Radius of the curved road = 2*1000/2 = 1000 m, g = gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2, ∅ = Angle of bank.

Substituting;
30 m/s = Sqrt (1000*9.81*tan∅)
30^2 = 1000*9.81*tan∅
tan ∅ = (30^2)/(1000*9.81) = 0.0917
∅ = tan^-1(0.0917) = 5.24°

Therefore, the road has been banked at 5.24°.

Two charges, Q1 and Q2, are separated by 6·cm. The repulsive force between them is 25·N. In each case below, find the force betw
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a) 5 N b) 225 N c) 5 N

Explanation:

a) Per Coulomb's Law the repulsive force between 2 equal sign charges, is directly proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of  the distance between them, acting along  the  line that joins the charges, as follows:

F₁₂ = K Q₁ Q₂ / r₁₂²

So, if we make Q1 = Q1/5, the net effect will be to reduce the force in the same factor, i.e. F₁₂ = 25 N / 5 = 5 N

b) If we reduce the distance, from r, to r/3, as the  factor is squared, the net effect will be to increase the force in a factor equal to 3² = 9.

So, we will have F₁₂ = 9. 25 N = 225 N

c) If we make Q2 = 5Q2, the force would be increased 5 times, but if at the same , we increase the distance 5 times, as the factor is squared, the net factor will be 5/25 = 1/5, so we will have:

F₁₂ = 25 N .1/5 = 5 N

The last multiple choice answer is
N76 [4]

Answer:

Answer: C

Explanation:

The closer the city is by the ocean, the cooler it will get because of the winds it is created from the ocean. Meanwhile, Atlanta is slightly away from the ocean but wont be as cool as the Tybee Island. So the heat will hit more to the city away from the ocean.
