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

The similarity between thermal energy, heat and temperature?
Vitek1552 [10]
Heat energy and thermal energy are the same because heat energy is thermal energy. Also thermal energy and temperature are the same because temperature is measuring heat in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. Hope this helps!

Problem 5 You are playing a game where you drop a coin into a water tank and try to land it on a target. You often find this gam
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Option D: 1.5in in front of the target

Explanation:

The object distance is y= 6in.

Because the surface is flat, the radius of curvature is infinity .

The incident index is n_i=\frac{4}{3} and the transmitted index is n_t= 1.

The single interface equation is \frac{n_i}{y}+\frac{n_t}{y^i}=\frac{n_t-n_i}{r}

Substituting the quantities given in the problem,

\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{6in}+\frac{1}{y^i}= 0

The image distance is then y^i=-\frac{18}{4}in =-4.5in

Therefore, the coin falls 1.5in in front of the target
