I believe because there is much less air and much more water in the bottom

The pressure is greater at the bottom because of all the fluid on top. It is like going to the bottom of the deep end in a swimming pool. Hope this helps.

If the lily pads are spaced 2.4 m apart and Ferdinand jumps with a speed of 5 m/s taking 0.6 s to go from lily pad to lily pad,

Zina [86]

Answer:

$36.87^{\circ}$

Explanation:

v = Velocity of Ferdinand = 5 m/s

$\theta$ = Angle of jump

T = Time taken = 0.6 s

R = Distance between lily pads = 2.4 m

Horizontal range is given by

$R=v_xT\\\Rightarrow R=vcos\theta T\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\dfrac{R}{vT}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\dfrac{R}{vT}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\dfrac{2.4}{5\times 0.6}\\\Rightarrow \theta=36.87^{\circ}$

The angle at which Ferdinand make each of his jumps is $36.87^{\circ}$

A flying saucer lifts the Physical Science building 10,000 ft into the air before discovering it is useless and discards the rem

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

500000000 lbft/s

Explanation:

F = Force or weight = 1000000 lbf

s = Displacement = 10000 ft

t = Time taken = 20 seconds

Work done is given by

$W=Fs\\\Rightarrow W=1000000\times 10000\\\Rightarrow W=10000000000\ lb-ft$

Power is given by

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{10000000000}{20}\\\Rightarrow P=500000000\ lbft/s$

One Saucer power is 500000000 lbft/s

An object is hung from a spring balance attached to the ceiling of an elevator cab. The balance reads 65 N when the cab is stand

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

(A) Reading will be 65 N

(B) Net force on the elevator will be 49.076 N

Explanation:

We have given the balance force = 65 N

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We know that W=mg

So $65=m\times 9.8$

m = 6.632 kg

(a) In first case as the as the speed is constant so the force on the elevator will be 65 N

(B) In second case as the elevator is decelerating at a rate of $2.4m/sec^2$

So net acceleration = 9.8-2.4= $7.4m/sec^2$

So net force on elevator will be = m× net acceleration = 6.632×7.4 = 49.076 N

3.00 textbook rests on a frictionless, horizontal tabletop surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diame

sammy [17]

Answer:

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of book on horizontal surface; m1 = 3 kg

Mass of hanging book; m2 = 4 kg

Diameter of pulley; D = 0.15 m

Radius of pulley; r = D/2 = 0.15/2 = 0.075 m

Change in displacement; Δx = Δy = 1 m

Time; t = 0.75

I've drawn a free body diagram to depict this question.

Since we want to find the tension of the cord on 3.00 kg book, it means we are looking for T1 as depicted in the FBD attached. T1 is calculated from taking moments about the x-axis to give;

ΣF_x = T1 = m1 × a1

a1 is acceleration and can be calculated from Newton's 2nd equation of motion.

s = ut + ½at²

our s is now Δx and a1 is a.

Thus;

Δx = ut + ½a1(t²)

u is initial velocity and equal to zero because the 3 kg book was at rest initially.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

1 = 0 + ½a1(0.75²)

Multiply through by 2;

2 = 0.75²a1

a1 = 2/0.75²

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

A steel ball and a wooden ball of the same diameter are released together from the top of a tower. In the absence of air resista

ella [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The steel ball and the wooden ball do not have the same force acting on them because their masses are different. But, they have the same acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s².

Using the equation of motion under freefall, s = ut +1/2gt². Since u = 0,

s = 1/2gt² ⇒ t = √(2s/g)

Since. s = height is the same for both objects, they land at the same time neglecting air resistance.
