A particular cylindrical bucket has a height of 36.0 cm, and the radius of its circular cross-section is 15 cm. The bucket is em

pty, aside from containing air. The bucket is then inverted so that its open end is down and, being careful not to lose any of the air trapped inside, the bucket is lowered below the surface of a fresh-water lake so the water-air interface in the bucket is 20.0 m below the surface of the lake. To keep the calculations simple, use g = 10 m/s2, atmospheric pressure = 1. 105 Pa, and the density of water as 1000 kg/m3. a. If the temperature is the same at the surface of the lake and at a depth of 20.0 m below the surface, what is the height of the cylinder of air in the bucket when the bucket is at a depth of 20.0 m below the surface of the lake? b. If, instead, the temperature changes from 300 K at the surface of the lake to 275 K at a depth of 20.0 m below the surface of the lake, what is the height of the cylinder of air in the bucket?

Answer:

a. 0.000002 m

b. 0.00000182 m

Explanation:

36 cm = 0.36 m

15 cm = 0.15 m

a) We can start by calculating the air-water pressure of the bucket submerged 20m below the water surface:

P = \ro g h = 1000 * 10 * 20 = 200000 Pa

Suppose air is ideal gas, then if the temperature stays the same, the product of its pressure and volume stays the same

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Where P1 = 1.105 Pa is the atmospheric pressure, V_1 is the air volume in the bucket on the suface:

V_1 = Ah

As the pressure increases, the air inside the bucket shrinks. But the crossection area stays constant, so only h, the height of air, decreases:

P_1Ah_1 = P_2Ah_2

h_2 = h_1\frac{P_1}{P_2} = 0.36\frac{1.105}{200000} = 0.000002 m

b) If the temperatures changes, we can still reuse the ideal gas equation above:

\frac{P_1Ah_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2Ah_2}{T_2}

h_2 = h_1\frac{P_1T_2}{P_2T_1} = 0.36\frac{1.105 * 275}{200000*300} =0.00000182 m

Olenka [21]
Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). When the toy falls, energy is converted from PE to KE, but by conservation of energy, ME (and therefore PE+KE) will remain the same.

Therefore, ME at 0.500 m is the same as ME at 0.830 m (the starting point). It's easier to calculate ME at the starting point because its just PE we need to worry about (but if we wanted to we could calculate the instantaneous PE and KE at 0.500 m too and add them to get the same answer).

At the start:

ME = PE = mgh
ME = 0.900 (9.8) (0.830)
ME = 7.32 J

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 13 km/s and a frequency of 14 Hz?
Galina-37 [17]
Wavelength = velocity/frequency

wavelength = v/f
v= 13km/s = change this to m/s = 13000m/s
f= 14Hz

wavelength = 13000m/s÷14Hz =928.7 m

How is it possible for two objects to have the same momentum, but different velocities?
coldgirl [10]

Answer: momentum has the same direction as that of velocity but when 2 bodies with the same linear momentum & different velocities it has different masses because a vector quantity is represented by a cross product of mass and velocity of object .

To have momentum, an object must be ______. A. heavy B. massive C. moving D. accelerating
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Momentum of the object can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object and the velocity of the moving object. In this case, the starting situation should be the object should be moving, else there is no velocity and thus momentum is equal to zero .Answer is C
