Two drums of the same size and same height are taken.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

i) The pressure acting on the base of <em>B</em> will be half the pressure acting on the base of <em>A</em>

ii) The pressure acting on the base of <em>B</em> will be the same as the pressure acting on the base of <em>A</em>

iii) The pressure on the base of drum <em>A</em> will be slightly less than the pressure on the base of drum <em>B</em>

Explanation:

The pressure acting on the base of the drum, P = h·ρ·g

Where;

h = The level of the liquid in the drum

$h_{max}$ = The height of the drums

ρ = The density of the liquid in the drum

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

i) If <em>A</em> is completely filled, we have $h_A$ = $h_{max}$

Therefore, $P_A$ = $h_{max}$ × $\rho_{liquid}$ ×g

If <em>B</em> is half filled, we have, $h_B$ = (1/2)· $h_{max}$

$P_B$ = (1/2) × $h_{max}$ × $\rho_{liquid}$ ×g

Therefore, $P_B$ = (1/2) × $P_A$

The pressure acting on the base of <em>B</em> will be half the pressure acting on the base of <em>A</em>

ii) If both <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are each filled with water (the same liquid), then the pressure on their bases will be $P_A$ = $h_{max}$ × $\rho_{water}$ ×g = $P_B$ , the same, given that the acceleration due to gravity, <em>g</em>, is constant and the same in Nepal and India

iii) If <em>A</em> is filled with water, and <em>B</em> is filled with salty water, we have that, the density of salty water is slightly higher than water, therefore, we get;

$P_A$ = $h_{max}$ × $\rho_{water}$ ×g < $P_B$ =

The pressure on the base of drum <em>A</em> will be less than the pressure on the base of drum <em>B.</em>

A recent home energy bill indicates that a household used 475475 kWh (kilowatt‑hour) of electrical energy and 135135 therms for

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,.

A house hold power consumption is

475 KWh

Gas used is

135 thermal gas for month

Given that, 1 thermal = 29.3 KWh

Then,

135 thermal = 135 × 29.3 = 3955.5 KWh

So, total power used is

P = 475 + 3955.5

P =4430.5 KWh

Since 1 hr = 3600 seconds

So, the energy consumed for 1hr is

1KW = 1000W

P = energy / time

Energy = Power × time

E = 4430.5 KWhr × 1000W / KW × 3600s / hr

E = 1.595 × 10^10 J

So, using Albert Einstein relativity equation

E = mc²

m = E / c²

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^8 m/s

m = 1.595 × 10^10 / (3 × 10^8)²

m = 1.77 × 10^-7 kg

Then,

1 kg = 10^6 mg

m = 1.77 × 10^-7 kg × 10^6 mg / kg

m = 0.177mg

m ≈ 0.18 mg

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.Displacement<span> is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

</span>To calculate displacement<span>, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your </span>displacement<span> is 0. In physics, </span>displacement<span> is represented by Δs.

For me to solve this I would need to know the time, but I can give you a handy displacement calculator I used that helped me.

Hope I helped.

Simon is riding a bike at 12 km/h away from his friend Keesha.He throws a ball at 5 km/h back to Keesha, who is standing still o

Tems11 [23]

I notice that even though we're working with frames of reference
here, you never said which frame the '5 km/hr' is measured in.

In fact ! You didn't even say which frame the '12 km/hr' of his
bike is measured in.

So there are several different ways this could go. I'll do it the way
I THINK you meant it, but that doesn't guarantee anything.

-- Simon is riding his bike at 12 km/hr relative to the sidewalk,
away from Keesha.

-- He throws a ball at Keesha, at 5 km/hr relative to his own face.

-- Keesha sees the ball approaching her at (12 - 5) = 7 km/hr
relative to the ground and to her.
