Answer:

Potential difference (V) – is measured in volts (V).

A potential difference of 1 V means that 1 joule of work is done per coulomb of charge. ( 1 V = 1 J C-1) Potential difference in a circuit is measured using a voltmeter which is placed in parallel with the component of interest in the circuit.

A tube of water is open on one end to the environment while the other end is closed. The height of the water relative to the bas

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1.06 atm

Explanation:

On the open end of the tube, the pressure will be the sum of atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the height of water

The pressure due to a height of water = ρgh

where ρ is the density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the height of the water column

The height of water column on the open end = 100 cm = 1 m

pressure on this end = ρgh = 1000 x 9.81 x 1 = 9810 Pa

Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

The total pressure on the open end = 101325 Pa + 9810 Pa = 111135 Pa

The pressure due to the water column on the closed end = ρgh

The height of the water in the closed end = 40 cm = 0.4 m

The pressure due to this column of water = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.4 = 3924 Pa

The resultant pressure on the water on the top of the closed end of the tube = 111135 Pa - 3924 Pa = 107211 Pa

In atm unit, this pressure = 107211/101325 = 1.06 atm

A bystander observes the musicians heading toward each other. When musician #1 is 100 m away, the intensity is 1.24 x 10-8 W/m^2

777dan777 [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance 1, r = 100 m

Intensity, $I_1=1.24\times 10^{-8}\ W/m^2$

If distance 2, r' = 25 m

We need to find the intensity and the intensity level at 25 meters. Intensity and a distance r is given by :

$I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}$ .........(1)

Let I' is the intensity at r'. So,

$I'=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r'^2}$ ............(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

$I'=\dfrac{Ir}{r'^2}$

$I'=\dfrac{1.24\times 10^{-8}\times 100}{25^2}$

$I'=1.98\times 10^{-9}\ W/m^2$

Intensity level is given by :

$dB=10\ log(\dfrac{I'}{I_o})$ , $I_o=10^{-12}\ W/m^2$

$dB=10\ log(\dfrac{1.98\times 10^{-9}}{10^{-12}})$

dB = 32.96 dB

Hence, this is the required solution.

A glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap. The absolute pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the bottle is 1.50 x 105 P

MArishka [77]

Answer:

$F \approx 19.5 N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Pressure of $P_{CO_2}=1.50 * 105 Pa.$

Bottle cap area $A_b= 4.40 * 10-4 m^2$

Generally the equation for Resultant pressure $P_r$ is give as is mathematically given by

$P_r=P_{CO_2}-P_a$

Where

$P_a=atmospheric\ pressure = 1.013*10^5 pa$

$P_r=1.50 * 105 Pa-1.013*10^5 pa$

$P_r=0.487*10^5 pa$

Generally the equation for Force exerted by screw F is give as is mathematically given by

$F = P*A\\F = 0.487*10^5*4.00*10^-4\\ F = 19.48 N$

$F \approx 19.5 N$

What happened to the kinetic energy when the velocy of a moving body is doubled?

dem82 [27]

Answer:

If velocity is doubled, Kinetic Energy increases by 4 times. Kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by it, by virtue of its motion, i.e. if the body is moving it will always have kinetic energy.Nov 1, 2018
