Ocean currents I think

At the entrance of most beaches, there is a bulletin board with notices about water conditions: maybe a faded sign warning about rip currents and a list of this week's tide tables. Most people pass them by without a second thought, but if you want to enter the ocean, it is important to know its movements, whether to avoid being caught in a riptide or to figure out when the waves will be at their best.

Hope this helps

An object is formed by attaching a uniform, thin rod with a mass of mr = 6.9 kg and length L = 4.88 m to a uniform sphere with m

Bumek [7]

Answer:

a) total moment of inertia is 1359.05 kg m^2

b) angular acceleratio is 0.854rad/sec^2

Explanation:

Given data:

m1=6.9 kg

L=4.88 m

m2=34.5 kg

R=1.22 m

we klnow that moment of inertia for rod is given as

J1=(1/12) ×m×L^2

$J1 = (1/12) \times 6.9 \times 4.88^2 = 13.693 kg m^2$

moment of inertia for sphere is given as

J1=(2/5) ×m×r^2

$J1 = (2/5) \times 34.5 \times 1.22^2 = 20.539 kg m^2$

As object rotates around free end of rod then for sphere the axis around what it rotates is at a distance of d2=L+R

For rod distance is d1=0.5*L

By Steiner theorem

for the rod we get $J_1'=J_1 + m_1\times d_1^2$

$J_1' = 13.693 + 2.44^2\times 6.9 = 54.77 kg m^2$

for the sphere we get $J_2' = J_2 + m_2\times d_2^2$

$J2' = 20.539 + 34.5\times 6.1^2 = 1304.28 kg^m2$

And the total moment of inertia for the first case is

$J_{t1} = J_1'+J_2' = 54.77 + 1304.28 = 1359.05kg.m^2$

b) F=476 N

The torque for system is given as

$M = F\times d\times sin(a)$

where a is angle between Force and distance d

and where d represent distance from rotating axis.

In this case a = 90 degree

$M = F\times L/2$

M=476*2.44 = 1161.44 Nm

The acceleration is calculated as

$a_1 = \frac{M}{J_{t1}}$

$= \frac{1161.44}{1359.05}$

= 0.854 rad/sec^2

A cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the tank to be changed. The tank originally contains 0.1

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

0.10013 atm

Explanation:

Applying Boyle's Law,

P'V' = PV................... Equation 1

Where P' = Initial pressure of air, V' = Initial volume of air, P = Final pressure of air, V = Final volume of air.

make P the subject of the equation

P = P'V'/V..................... Equation 2

Given: P' = 0.355 atm, V' 0.110 m³, V = 0.390 m³

Substitute into equation 2

P = 0.355(0.11)/0.39

P = 0.10013 atm.
