Atomic nuclei lighter than iron and nickel, energy can be extracted by combining iron and nickel nuclei together through nuclear fusion. For atomic nuclei heavier than iron or nickel, energy can be released by splitting the heavy nuclei through nuclear fission.

A constant force of 12N is applied for 3.0s to a body initially at rest. The final velocity of the body is 6.0ms–1. What is the

sp2606 [1]

From the question,
$u = 0m {s}^{ - 1}$
$v = 6m {s}^{ - 1}$

$t = 3s$
$F=12N$

Using Impulse, the product of the constant force, F and time t equals the product of the mass of the body and change in velocity.

$Ft =m(v-u)$

$12(3.0)=m(6.0- \: 0)$
This implies that

$36.0 = 6m$
$m = \frac{36.0}{6.0}$
$\therefore \: m = 6.0kg$

You can also use the equation of linear motion,
$v = u + at$
$6 = 0 + a(3)$
$6 = 3a$
$a = \frac{6}{3}$

$a = 2 {ms}^{ - 2}$
But
$F=ma$
$12 = m(2)$
$12 = 2m$
$\frac{12}{2} = m$
$\therefore \: m = 6kg$

Suppose a tank filled with water has a liquid column with a height of 10 meters. If the area is 2 square meters (2 m²), what's t

Vesna [10]

Answer:

196000 N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 10 m

Area (A) = 2 m²

Force (F) =.?

Next, we shall determine the pressure in the tank.

This can be obtained as follow:

P = dgh

Where

P is the pressure.

d is the density of the liquid.

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height.

Height (h) = 10 m

Density (d) of water = 1000 kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Pressure (P) =...?

P = dgh

P = 1000 × 9.8 × 10

P = 98000 N/m²

Therefore, the pressure acting on the tank is 98000 N/m²

Finally, we shall determine the force of gravity acting on the column of water as follow:

Area (A) = 2 m²

Pressure (P) = 98000 N/m²

Force (F) =.?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F /A

98000 = F/ 2

Cross multiply

F = 98000 × 2

F = 196000 N

Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the column of water is 196000 N
