Answer:

17.66 kPa

Explanation:

The volume of water in the swimming pool is the product of its dimensions

V = 30 * 8.7 * 1.8 = 469.8 cubic meters

Let water density \rho = 1000 kg/m^3, and g = 9.81 m/s2 we can calculate the total weight of water in the swimming pool

W = mg = \rho V g = 1000 * 469.8 * 9.81 = 4608738 N

The area of the bottom

A = 30 * 8.7 = 261 square meters

Therefore the pressure is its force over unit area

P = F/A = 4608738  / 261 = 17658 N/m^2 or 17.66 kPa

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Tha ball- earth/floor system.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ball is the force of gravity when ignoring air resistance. At the moment the player releases the ball, until it reaches the top of its bounce, the small system for which the momentum is conserved is the ball- floor system. The balls exerts and equal and opposite force on the floor. <u>Here the ball hits the floor, because in any collision the momentum is conserved. Moment of the ball -floor system is conserved</u>. Mutual gravitation bring the ball and floor together in one system. As the ball moves downwards, the earth moves upwards, although with an acceleration on the order of 1025 times smaller than that of the ball. The two objects meet, rebound and separate.

A small 18 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 1 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?
In-s [12.5K]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²).

A Physicist in the canoe, or on a raft floating downriver next to the canoe, will say that the canoe's kinetic energy is zero.

A Physicist on the riverbank, watching the canoe drift by at 1 m/s, will say that its kinetic energy is 9 Joules.

They're both correct.

A wave travels down the length of a 25-meter rope in 5.0 seconds. The speed of the wave is _____.
Alborosie
Speed
= (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

= (25 m) / (5.0 sec) = 5.0 m/s .
