Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on itself and on the surface below it.
Pressure is defined as the force acting on an object divided by the area upon witch the force is acting.

A flywheel flows from 250rpm to 150rpm in 4.2 seconds. How many revolutions occur during this time ​
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

7revolutions

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial revolution  = 250rpm

Final revolution  = 150rpm

Time  = 4.2s

Unknown:

Number of revolutions that occur at this time = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

 let us find the change in revolution  = 250rpm - 150rpm  = 100rpm

Convert the time to seconds;

         60s makes 1 minute

        4.2s will make \frac{4.2}{60}   = 0.07min

So;

      The number of revolutions at this time  = 100rpm x 0.07min

         =   7revolutions

A 300 gg bird flying along at 5.7 m/sm/s sees a 10 gg insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 29 m/sm/s (as measured b
liberstina [14]

Answer:

bird's speed  = 4.58 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass of bird mb = 300 g

velocity of bird vb = 5.7 m/s

mass of insect mi = 10 g

velocity of insect vi = - 29 m/s

solution

here momentum of system is constant

we apply here conservation of momentum so

mb × v + mi × v = mb × vb + mi × vi   ....................1

v ( mb + mi ) = mb × vb + mi × vi  

put here value and we get

v ( 300 + 10 ) = { 300 × 5.7 }  +  { 10 × (-29) }

v = \frac{1710-290}{310}  

v = 4.58 m/s

A 10-m-long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 34 m/s when a 60
german

Answer:

34 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of glider with person = 680 kg

v = Velocity of glider with person = 34 m/s

m_1 = Mass of glider without person = 680-60 kg

v_1 = Gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go

m_2 = Mass of person = 60 kg

v_2 = Velcotiy of person = 34 m/s

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=mv\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{mv-m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{680\times 34-60\times 34}{680-60}\\\Rightarrow v_1=34\ m/s

The gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go is 34 m/s
