A 2.5 m tall steel cylinder has a cross sectional area of 1.5 mA 2 EA. At the bottom with a height of 0.5 m is liquid water and

on top of which is a 1 m high layer of gasoline (rhogasoline= 925kg/m3 ). The gasoline surface is exposed to atmospheric air at 101 kPa. Sketch the arrangement. Where is the pressure highest in the water (indicate in the sketch), and what is the value of the absolute pressure?

Answer:

124 kPa

Explanation:

The highest pressure in the water is in the bottom of the cylinder. The reason is because all the weight of the water and the gasoline puts some pressure plus the atmospheric air. So, the absolute pressure would be the one exerted by the atmosphere, the gasoline and the water and is calculated as follows:

P=P_{atm}+P_{gas}+P{water}\\P=110 000Pa +1.0m*9.8m/s^2*925kg/m^3+0.5m*1000kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2\\P=123974Pa≈124 kPa

Why is hydroelectric power considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy?
Radda [10]
Hydroelectric power is considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy because potential energy when the water is in the reservoir turns into kinetic energy making the water move to the dam and then the dam moves into the turbine turning it to electric energy.

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains four 75.0 resistors connected in parallel with a 100.0 V battery?
zhannawk [14.2K]
To get the total resistance in a parallel circuit, you need to remember that unlike in a series, you do not just merely add the resistances. You need to get the reciprocal first of each resistance and add them together. 

\frac{1}{R_{T}} =  \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}... +\frac{1}{R_{n}}

After adding them, you will get the reciprocal again and then compute for the value. The problem says that there are 4 resistors in the circuit that have a resistance of 75.

\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}

Add up the numerator and copy the denominator:

\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{4}{75}

Then get the reciprocal to get the total resistance:

R _{T} = \frac{75}{4}  = 18.75

The answer to your question then is A. 18.8.

A 21 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar
Georgia [21]

Answer:

a)15 N

b)12.6 N

Explanation:

Given that

Weight of block (wt)= 21 N

μs = 0.80 and μk = 0.60

We know that

Maximum value of static friction given as

Frs = μs m g = μs .wt

by putting the values

Frs= 0.8 x 21 = 16.8 N

Value of kinetic friction

Frk= μk m g = μk .wt

By putting the values

Frk= 0.6 x 21 = 12.6 N

a)

When T = 15 N

Static friction Frs= 16.8 N

Here the value of static friction is more than tension T .It means that block will not move and the value of friction force will be equal to the tension force.

Friction force = 15 N

b)

When T= 35 N

Here value of tension force is more than maximum value of static friction that is why block will move .We know that when body is in motion then kinetic friction will act on the body.so the value of friction force in this case will be 12.6 N

Friction force = 12.6 N
