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

Which part of the drum vibrates when it produces sound?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

For example, when a drum is struck, the flexible skin (sometimes called a membrane) of the drum vibrates. The compression and expansion of the air on either side of the vibrating membrane produces differences in air pressure. The pressure differences generate a sound wave that propagates outward from the drum surface.

A third baseman makes a throw to first base 40.5 m away. The ball leaves his hand with a speed of 30.0 m/s at a height of 1.4 m
Ugo [173]

Answer:

When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity = 30 cos17.3 = 28.64 m/s

   Horizontal displacement = 40.5 m

   Time  

         t=\frac{40.5}{28.64}=1.41s          

   Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

Vertical velocity = 30 sin17.3 = 8.92 m/s

    Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

    Acceleration = -9.81m/s²

    Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

             s = 8.92 x 1.41 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 1.41²= 2.83 m

    Height of throw = 1.4 m

    Height traveled by ball = 2.83 m

    Total height = 2.83 + 1.4 = 4.23 m

    When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

Which scientific law describes the relationship between action and reaction force pairs? Newton's third law of motion Kepler's l
Hitman42 [59]

Newton's third law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note that this law is always valid, even when it seems it is not.

Consider for example the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on your body (= your weight). We can say that this is the action force. It may seems that there is no reaction force in this case. However, this is not true: in fact, your body also exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth, and this is the reaction force. The reason that explains why we don't notice any effect on Earth due to this force is that the mass of the Earth is much larger than your mass, therefore the acceleration produced on the Earth because of the force you apply is negligible.

It is also important to note that the action-reaction pair of forces always act on two different objects, so they never appear in the same free-body diagram.
