Answer:

  F_net = 264, 26 pound

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's second law

               F_net = F_int - F_outside

where the force can be found from the definition of pressure

              P = F / A

              F = P A

we substitute

               F_net = P_inside  A - P_outside A

               F_net = A (P_inside - P_outside)

indicate that the pressure on the outside is 25% less than the pressure on the inside

               P_outside = 0.25 P_inside

The area is

               A = L W

we substitute

              F_net = L W P_inside (1-0.25)

         

let's calculate

suppose the pressure inside is atmospheric pressure

              P_inside= P_atmospheric = 1,013 10⁵ Pa = 14.7 PSI

              F_net = 8.1 3 14.5 0.75

              F_net = 264, 26 pound

A train travelling at 20 m/s has 2 000 000 J of kinetic energy. What is the mass of<br> the train?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

<h2>10,000 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the train can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{2k}{ {v}^{2} }  \\

k is the kinetic energy

v is the velocity

From the question we have

m \frac{2(2000000)}{ {20}^{2} }  =  \frac{4000000}{400}  =  \frac{40000}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>10,000 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

Two UFPD are patrolling the campus on foot. To cover more ground, they split up and begin walking in different directions. Offic
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

0.256 hours

Explanation:

<u>Vectors in the plane </u>

We know Office A is walking at 5 mph directly south. Let X_A be its distance. In t hours he has walked

X_A=5t\ \text{miles}

Office B is walking at 6 mph directly west. In t hours his distance is

X_B=6t\ \text{miles}

Since both directions are 90 degrees apart, the distance between them is the hypotenuse of a triangle which sides are the distances of each office

D=\sqrt{X_A^2+X_B^2}

D=\sqrt{(5t)^2+(6t)^2}

D=\sqrt{61}t

This distance is known to be 2 miles, so

\sqrt{61}t=2

t =\frac{2}{\sqrt{61}}=0.256\ hours

t is approximately 15 minutes

How long must a 0.70-mm-diameter aluminum wire be to have a 0.40 a current when connected to the terminals of a 1.5 v flashlight
Natalka [10]
By using Ohm's law, we can find what should be the resistance of the wire, R:
R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{1.5 V}{0.40 A} =3.75 \Omega

Then, let's find the cross-sectional area of the wire. Its radius is half the diameter,
r=35 mm=0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m
So the area is
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=3.85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2

And by using the resistivity  of the Aluminum, \rho=2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m, we can use the relationship between resistance R and resistivity:
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
to find L, the length of the wire:
L= \frac{RA}{\rho}= \frac{(3.75 \Omega)(3,85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2)}{2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m}=54.48 m
