Oil and water don’t mix, and the mass density of oil is smaller than that of water. Suppose water is poured into a U-shaped tube

that is open at both ends until the water surface is halfway up each leg of the tube, and then some oil is poured on top of the water in the right leg. Once the system comes to equilibrium, are the top of the oil column in the right leg and the top of the water column in the left leg at the same height? If not, which is higher?
The right leg (oil on top) is higher
The left leg (no oil) is higher
The two legs are the same height

Answer:

The right leg (oil on top) is higher

Explanation:

Given:

The mass density of oil is lesser than the mass density of water.

  • When we pour water in a u-tube that is open at both the ends then the water on both the sides of the tube will rise up to the same height because the algebraic sum of the pressure exerted by the water column and the pressure of atmosphere on both the openings is equal.
  • When we pour oil in the right side of the u-tube we observe that the column of liquid on the right side rises more than the column of the liquid on the left side. However we observe that there is rise on both sides of the u-tube.

<u>This is justified by the equation:</u>

P=\rho.g.h

where:

\rho = density of the liquid

g= acceleration due to gravity

h= height of the liquid column

A point charge with charge q1 = 4.00 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 = -4.40 μC moves
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

W=0.94J

Explanation:

Electrostatic potential energy is the energy that results from the position of a charge in an electric field. Therefore, the work done to move a charge from point 1 to point 2 will be the change in electrostatic potential energy between point 1 and point 2.

This energy is given by:

U=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r}\\

So, the work done to move the chargue is:

W=U_1-U_2\\W=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_1}-\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_2}\\r_1=\sqrt{((0.155 m)^2+0 m)^2}=0.115m\\r_2=\sqrt{((0.245 m)^2+(0.270 m)^2}=0.365m\\W=K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |(\frac{1}{r_1}-\frac{1}{r_2})\\W=8.99*10^9\frac{Nm^2}{c^2}(4.00*10^{-6}C)(4.40*10^{-6}C)(\frac{1}{0.115m}-\frac{1}{0.365})\\W=0.94J

The work is positive since the potential energy in 1 is greater than 2.

A bullet is fired with a muzzle velocity of 1178 ft/sec from a gun aimed at an angle of 26° above the horizontal. Find the horiz
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1058.78 ft/sec

Explanation:

Horizontal Component of Velocity; This is the velocity of a body that act on the horizontal axis. I.e Velocity along x-axis

The horizontal velocity of a body can be calculated as shown below.\

Vh = Vcos∅.......................... Equation 1

Where Vh = horizontal component of the velocity, V = The velocity acting between the horizontal and the vertical axis, ∅ = Angle the velocity make with the horizontal.

Given: V = 1178 ft/sec, ∅ = 26°

Substitute into equation 1

Vh = 1178cos26

Vh = 1178(0.8988)

Vh = 1058.78 ft/sec

Hence the horizontal component of the velocity = 1058.78 ft/sec

What happens in the gray zone between solid and liquid?
Reil [10]

Answer:

Hence from liquid to solid or solid to liquid the transition has to cross the grey zone. This grey zone transition is is very crucial which includes the intermolecular forces acting on the molecules and each atoms which makes the change in state from hot to cold and cold to hot.
