Answer:

a ) -10780 Pa

Explanation:

b ) Initially the pressure inside lungs and atmospheric pressure are equal . When the gauge pressure of the lungs becomes negative , its pressure becomes less than the atmospheric pressure . It creates a pressure difference between the pressure acting on the open surface of water and surface of water inside the pipe which is connected to the lungs. This difference pulls the water inside the pipe.

Pressure difference = gauze pressure of lungs = h d g = 1.1 x 1000 x 9.8

= 10780 Pa.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

B_{net} =(2\times 10^{-5}T/A).(I-25A)

Explanation:

Given :

the distance between the two wires is  = 2 cm

                                                                  = 0.02 m

Current in one of the wire, I = 25 A

Now we know that, when the direction of the current is same that is in one direction , the magnetic field at the mid point in between the two wires will oppose each other.

Therefore we know that

B_{net} = \frac{\mu _{o}\times I_{1}}{2\pi r_{1}}-\frac{\mu _{o}\times I_{2}}{2\pi r_{2}}

                            =\frac{(4\pi \times 10^{-7}T.m/A)}{2\pi (1\times 10^{-2}m)}\times (I-25A)

                            = (2\times 10^{-5}T/A).(I-25A)

2. Light rays from stars bend toward smaller angles as they enter Earth's atmosphere. a. Explain why this happens using Snell's
algol [13]

Explanation:

a)Snell's law states that when light travels from a rarer to a denser substance, like air to water or from a less dense layer of the atmosphere to a denser layer, it bends towards the normal{an imaginary line that is perpendicular to the surface of both media}. However,the opposite occurs when light moves from a more dense to a less dense medium. The angle between the normal and the refracted light ray is known as the angle of refraction.

In case of earth as light from the stars enters the earth atmosphere it bends towards smaller angle because the earth density increases as the light travel towards the earth troposphere from the exosphere as per the Snell's law described above.

b)Light rays that travel straight down do not bend, while rays that enter the Earth's atmosphere at a shallower angle get refracted and bend towards the normal, roughly following the direction of the Earth's curvature.

This means that celestial objects in the zenith position directly above you appear in the correct position, while objects closer to the horizon appear to be higher up in the sky than they actually are.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

\dot V = 0.542 \frac{m^{3}}{s}

Explanation:

The power needed for the pump to raise the pressure of gasoline is defined by following equation. The maximum possible volume flow rate is isolated and then calculated:

\dot W = \dot V \cdot \Delta P\\\dot V = \frac{\dot W}{\Delta P}\\\dot V = \frac{3.8 kW}{7 kPa}\\\dot V = 0.542 \frac{m^{3}}{s}
