Consider a 4-m-long, 4-m-wide, and 1.5-m-high above-the-ground swimming pool that is filled with water to the rim. (a) Determine

the hydrostatic force on each wall and the distance of the line of action of this force from the ground. (b) If the height of the walls of the pool is doubled, will the hydrostatic force on each wall double or quadruple? Why?

Answer:

44100 N

Explanation:

Each wall will have dimension of 4 m x 1.5 m

Whole force will act on central point of wall situated at a depth of 1.5 /2 = .75m

pressure at CM = h d g , h = .75 , d ( density of water = 10³ )

pressure at CM = .75 x 10³ x 9.8

= 7350 N / m²

Total force on each wall

= pressure x area

= 7350 x 4 x 1.5

= 44100 N Ans

b ) If h = 1.5 x 2 = 3

Pressure = hdg

1.5 x 10³ x 9.8

= 14700 N / m²

Force

= pressure x area

14700 x 3 x 4

= 176400 N

Which is 4 times 44100 N

So force will quadruple.

It is so because both area and height have become twice.

The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as , where a
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

3 times louder

Explanation:

The Loudness in decibel Db  L = 10㏒(I/I₀)  where I = sound intensity level and I₀ = threshold of hearing = 10⁻¹² W/m².

Now, for Jessica, I₁ = sound intensity level of Jessica's music = 10⁻⁹

and I₂ = sound intensity level of Braylee's music = 10⁻³

So, substituting the variables into the equation, we have

L₁ = 10㏒(I₁/I₀)

L₁ = 10㏒(10⁻⁹/10⁻¹²)

L₁ = 10㏒(10³)

L₁ = 3 × 10㏒10

L₁ = 30㏒10

L₁ = 30 dB

Now, for Braylee, I₂ = sound intensity level of Braylee's music = 10⁻³

So, substituting the variables into the equation, we have

L₂ = 10㏒(I₁/I₀)

L₂ = 10㏒(10⁻³/10⁻¹²)

L₂ = 10㏒(10⁹)

L₂ = 9 × 10㏒10

L₂ =90㏒10

L₂ = 90 dB

So, the number of times Braylee's music is louder than Jessica's music is L₂/L₁ = 90 dB/30 dB = 3

So, Braylee's music is 3 times louder than Jessica's music

Consider the following three statements: (i) For any electro-magnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency
Scilla [17]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c=frequency\times Wavelength

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Thus, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is constant and equal to 3\times 10^8\ m/s

<u>Option A is correct.</u>

Given, Frequency = 1\times 10^{18}\ Hz

Thus, Wavelength is:

Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}

Wavelength=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^{18}}\ m

Wavelength=3\times 10^{-10}\ m

Also, 1 m = 3\times 10^{-10} Å

So,

<u>Wavelength = 3.0 Å</u>

<u>Option B is correct.</u>

As stated above, the speed of electromagnetic radiation is constant. Hence, each radiation of the spectrum travels with same speed.

<u>Option C is incorrect.</u>

A car is traveling at 15 m/sm/s . Part A How fast would the car need to go to double its kinetic energy
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

21.21 m/s

Explanation:

Let KE₁ represent the initial kinetic energy.

Let v₁ represent the initial velocity.

Let KE₂ represent the final kinetic energy.

Let v₂ represent the final velocity.

Next, the data obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (v₁) = 15 m/s

Initial kinetic Energy (KE₁) = E

Final final energy (KE₂) = double the initial kinetic energy = 2E

Final velocity (v₂) =?

Thus, the velocity (v₂) with which the car we travel in order to double it's kinetic energy can be obtained as follow:

KE = ½mv²

NOTE: Mass (m) = constant (since we are considering the same car)

KE₁/v₁² = KE₂/v₂²

E /15² = 2E/v₂²

E/225 = 2E/v₂²

Cross multiply

E × v₂² = 225 × 2E

E × v₂² = 450E

Divide both side by E

v₂² = 450E /E

v₂² = 450

Take the square root of both side.

v₂ = √450

v₂ = 21.21 m/s

Therefore, the car will travel at 21.21 m/s in order to double it's kinetic energy.

Light travels 186 000 miles per second.how many miles dose light travel in one year
Troyanec [42]

       (186,000 mi/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (365 da/yr)

  =   (186,000 x 3,600 x 24 x 365)  mi/yr

  =      5,865,696,000,000  miles per year  (rounded to the nearest million miles)
