An on-farm diesel fuel tank is on a stand 5 feet above the ground. The tank is vented to the atmosphere (the air in the tank is

at atmospheric pressure). If the diesel level in the tank is 2.1 feet above the release point. If the density of diesel is 6.98 pounds/gallon, what is the gauge pressure of the fuel at the nozzle? What is the absolute pressure?
Gauge Pressure = XXXX psi

Absolute Pressure = XXXX psi

Answer:

Pg= 0.766 psi

Pabs= 15.27 psi

Explanation:

Given

h= 2.1 ft

1 ft = 0.3048 m

2.1 ft = 0.64 m

h= 0.64 m

ρ=6.98  pounds/gallon

1 pounds/gallon = 119.82 kg/m³

ρ = 825.6 kg/m³

The gauge pressure Pg

Pg= ρ g h

Pg=  825.6  x 10 x 0.64     ( take g =10 m/s²)

Pg= 5283.84 Pa

We know that

1 Pa= 0.000145 psi

Pg= 0.766 psi

Lets take atmospheric pressure Patm

Patm= 100 KPa

Pg= 5.283 KPa

Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure

Pabs= 100 + 5.283

Pabs= 105.283 KPa

We know that

1 KPa= 0.145 Psi

Pabs= 15.27 psi

Answer:

A physical change

Explanation:

You are wiping chalk particles from the board to the eraser which is just changing the location of the chalk particles, a physical change.

you're not changing the chalk into a new substance or causing a chemical reaction, which would be a chemical change.

An object has k.e. of 10J at a certain instant. If it is acted on by an opposing force of 5N, which of the number A to E below i
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

d = 2 [m].

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of energy, where the mechanical energy in a state plus the work done on the body, must be equal to the mechanical energy in the state E. This can be easily represented in the following equation.

E_{A}+W_{A-E}=E_{E}

where:

Ea = Mechanical energy in A [J]

Wa-e = Work among states a and e [J]

Ee = Mechanical energy in E [J].

The key to being able to understand this problem is that in state A, we only have kinetic energy, while the energy in state E is equal to zero (there is no movement). The work is equal to the product of force by distance, as work acts in the opposite direction to movement, this has a negative sign.

10 - F*d = 0\\5*d = 10\\d = 10/5\\d = 2 [m]

What force accelerates a 500 kg object at 5 m/s2?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

2500N

Explanation:

f = m.a

m=500 kg

a=5 m/s²

f = 5*500 kgm/s² = 2500 N

Please helpppp<br><br><br> Explain the difference between mass and weight and how they are measured.
Mama L [17]

There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measuredin kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on the earth
