Explain what it means when we say that Earth’s oceans are in hydrostatic equilibrium. Now suppose you are a scuba diver. Would y

ou expect the pressure to increase or decrease as you dive below the surface to a depth of 200 feet? Why?

Answer:

Explanation:

Hydrostatics put simply means fluids at rest (hydro-fluid, static-rest)

Oceans are basically bodies of fluid (water),

and as such they are in hydrostatic equilibrium or hydrostatic balance when they are at rest, or when the velocity of flow in them are constant over a given time. Hydrostatic equilibrium usually occurs when external forces acting on the ocean bodies balance each other out. An example is the force of gravity being balanced by a pressure-gradient force.

The pressure felt by a body in a fluid (water) is given by the formula P = ρgh

Where ρ is the density of the fluid

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the depth of the body in the fluid.

ρg is constant for water and as a result the pressure you will feel in an ocean will depend on how far below the surface you are, h. The lower inside the water you are the higher the pressure you feel.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

speed of electrons = 3.25 × 10^{7} m/s

acceleration in term g is 3.9 × 10^{17} g.

radius of circular orbit is 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

Explanation:

given data

voltage = 3 kV

magnetic field = 0.66 T

solution

law of conservation of energy

PE = KE

qV = 0.5 × m × v²

v = \sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times 3}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

v = 3.25 × 10^{7} m/s

and

magnetic force on particle movie in magnetic field

F = Bqv

ma = Bqv

a = \frac{Bqv}{m}  

a =  \frac{0.67\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.25\times 10^7}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a = 3.82 × 10^{18} m/s²

and acceleration in term g

a = \frac{3.82\times 10^{18}}{9.81}  

a = 3.9 × 10^{17} g

acceleration in term g is 3.9 × 10^{17} g.

and

electron moving in circular orbit has centripetal force

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}  

Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}  

r = \frac{mv}{Bq}  

r = \frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.25\times 10^7}{0.67\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}  

r = 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

radius of circular orbit is 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

A long thin uniform rod of length 1.50 m is to be suspended from a frictionless pivot located at some point along the rod so tha
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

0.087 m

Explanation:

Length of the rod, L = 1.5 m

Let the mass of the rod is m and d is the distance between the pivot point and the centre of mass.

time period, T = 3  s

the formula for the time period of the pendulum is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgd}}    .... (1)

where, I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Moment of inertia of the rod about the centre of mass, Ic = mL²/12

By using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot is

I = Ic + md²

I = \frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}

Substituting the values in equation (1)

3 = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}}{mgd}}

9=4\pi^{2}\times \left ( \frac{\frac{L^{2}}{12}+d^{2}}{gd} \right )

12d² -26.84 d + 2.25 =  0

d=\frac{26.84\pm \sqrt{26.84^{2}-4\times 12\times 2.25}}{24}

d=\frac{26.84\pm 24.75}{24}

d = 2.15 m , 0.087 m

d cannot be more than L/2, so the value of d is 0.087 m.

Thus, the distance between the pivot and the centre of mass of the rod is 0.087 m.

a train car of mass 444 kg moving at 5 m/s bounces into another car on the same tracks of mass 344 king. of the second car was m
Kamila [148]

Answer:

3.7 m/s

Explanation:

M = 444 kg

U = 5 m/s

m = 344 kg

u = - 5 m/s

Let the velocity of train is V and the car s v after the collision.

As the collision is elastic

By use of conservation of momentum

MU + mu = MV + mv

444 x 5 - 344 x 5 = 444 V + 344 v

500 = 444 V + 344 v

125 = 111 V + 86 v .... (1)

By using the formula of coefficient of restitution ( e = 1 for elastic collision)

e = \frac{V-v}{u-U}

-5 - 5 = V - v

V - v = - 10

v = V + 10

Substitute the value of v in equation (1)

125 = 111 V + 86 (V + 10)

125 = 197 V + 860

197 V = - 735

V = - 3.7 m/s

Thus, the speed of first car after collision is 3.7 m/s. negative sign shows that the direction is reverse as before the collision.
