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.

7 the density of the american white oak tree is 752 kilograms per cubic meter. if the trunk of an american white oak tree has a
alexdok [17]

First, we determine the volume of the trunk by finding first the radius from the circumference through the equation,

<span>                                                            C = 2πr</span>

<span>                                                            r = C/2π</span>

Substituting the known values,

<span>                                                            r = 4.5/2π = 0.716 m</span>

Then, we calculate for the volume through the equation,

<span>                                                            V = πr2h</span>

<span>                                                V = π(0.716 m)2(8m) = 12.9 m3</span>

Multiplying the calculated value to the density will give the mass as,

<span>                                                Mass = (12.9 m3)(752 kg/m3) = <span>9699.36 kg</span></span>

A solid cylinder has a mass of 5 kg and radius of 2 m and is fixed so that it is able to rotate freely around its center without
kari74 [83]

Answer:

0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of angular momentum,

angular momentum before impact = angular momentum after impact

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = angular momentum of bullet = + 9 kgm²/s (it is positive since the bullet tends to rotate in a clockwise direction from left to right)

L₂ = angular momentum of cylinder and angular momentum of bullet after collision.

L₂ = (I₁ + I₂)ω where I₁ = rotational inertia of cylinder = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder = 5 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2 m, I₂ = rotational inertia of bullet about axis of cylinder after collision = mR² where m = mass of bullet = 0.02 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2m and ω = angular velocity of system after collision

So,

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = (I₁ + I₂)ω

ω = L₁/(I₁ + I₂)

ω = L₁/(1/2MR² + mR²)

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(1/2 × 5 kg + 0.02 kg)(2 m)²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.5 kg + 0.02 kg)(4 m²)

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.52 kg)(4 m²)

ω = +9 kgm²/s/10.08 kgm²

ω = + 0.893 rad/s

The angular velocity of the cylinder bullet system is 0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction-since it is positive.
