A solid concrete block weighs 140 N and is resting on the ground. Its dimensions are 0.370 m x 0.150 m x 0.0820 m. A number of i

dentical blocks are stacked on top of this one. What is the smallest number of whole bricks (including the one on the ground) that can be stacked so that their weight creates a pressure of at least two atmospheres on the ground beneath the first block? (Hint: First decide which face of the brick is in contact with the ground.)

Answer: 18 blocks in total ( 17 add to the original in contact with the ground)

Explanation:

The pressure on the face in contact with the ground ( we choose the face 0.15m x 0.082m)

Pressure= Force ( weigth) /Area

1 Atm = 101325 Pascal [N/ m^2]

A factory emits pollutants at a rate of 25 g/s. The factory is located between two mountain ranges resulting in an effective val
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the breeze = 4 m/s

w = Width of the valley = 5000 m

h = Height of the valley = 1000 m

Volumetric flow rate is given by

\dot{V}=vwh\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=4\times 5000\times 1000\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=2\times10^{7}\ \text{m}^3/\text{s}

\dot{m} = Mass flow rate of pollutant = 25 g/s = 25\times 10^6\ \mu\text{g/s}

Concentration is given by

C=\dfrac{\dot{m}}{\dot{V}}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{25\times 10^6}{2\times 10^7}\\\Rightarrow C=1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3

The steady state concentration of pollutants in the valley, is 1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3.

When you throw a ball up in the air, it travels up and then stops instantaneously before falling back down. At the point where i
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The ball stops instantaneously at the topmost point of the motion.

Explanation:

Assume we have thrown a ball up in the air. For that we have given a force on the ball and it acquires an initial velocity in the upward direction.

The forces that resist the motion of the ball in the upward direction are the force of gravity and air resistance. The ball will instantaneously come to rest when the velocity of the ball reduces to zero.

The two forces acting in the downward direction reduces its speed continuously and it becomes zero at the topmost point.

Why is it good practice for scientists to repeat trails
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
It makes the data thet they collect more reliable so if they need the data again, they have already tested it a few times so therefor they know that it is right.

flipper (the dolphin) is out in the open ocean hunting tuna avec. he emits his pulse at 22khz and .42 seconds later he hears it
marusya05 [52]
First we need to find the speed of the dolphin sound wave in the water. We can use the following relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave:
v=\lambda f
where
v is the wave speed
\lambda its wavelength
f its frequency
Using \lambda = 2 cm = 0.02 m and f=22 kHz = 22000 Hz, we get
v=(0.02 m)(22000 Hz)=440 m/s

We know that the dolphin sound wave takes t=0.42 s to travel to the tuna and back to the dolphin. If we call L the distance between the tuna and the dolphin, the sound wave covers a distance of S=2 L in a time t=0.42 s, so we can write the basic relationship between space, time and velocity for a uniform motion as:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{2L}{t}
and since we know both v and t, we can find the distance L between the dolphin and the tuna:
L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(440 m/s)(0.42 s)}{2}=92.4 m
