n open rectangular tank is filled to a depth of 2 m with water (density 1000 kg/m3). On top of the water there is a 1 m deep lay

er of gasoline (density 700 kg/m3). The width of the tank is 1 m (the direction perpendicular to the paper). The tank is surrounded by air at atmospheric pressure. Calculate the total force on the right wall of the tank, and specify its direction. The acceleration of gravity g = 9.81 m/s2.

Answer:

gasoline zone P_net = 6860 Pa

Water zone P_net = 26460 Pa

Force direction is out of tank

Explanation:

The pressure is defined

P = F / A

F = P A

let's write Newton's equation of force

F_net = F_int - F_ext

P_net A = (P_int - P_ext) A

The P_ext is the atmospheric pressure

P_ext = P₀

the pressure inside is

gasoline zone

P_int = P₀ + ρ' g h'

water zone

P_int = P₀ + ρ' g h' + ρ_water h_water

we substitute

Zone with gasoline

P_net = ρ' g h'

P_net = 700 9.8 1

P_net = 6860 Pa

Water zone

P_net = rho’ g h’ + rho_water g h_water

P_net = 6860 + 1000 9.8 2

P_net = 26460 Pa

To find the explicit value of the force, divide by a specific area.

Force direction is out of tank

A reasonable estimate of the moment of inertia of an ice skater spinning with her arms at her sides can be made by modeling most

Oxana [17]

Answer:

A) $I_{total}$ = 1.44 kg m², B) moment of inertia must increase

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is defined by

I = ∫ r² dm

For figures with symmetry it is tabulated, in the case of a cylinder the moment of inertia with respect to a vertical axis is

I = ½ m R²

A very useful theorem is the parallel axis theorem that states that the moment of inertia with respect to another axis parallel to the center of mass is

I = $I_{cm}$ + m D²

Let's apply these equations to our case

The moment of inertia is a scalar quantity, so we can add the moment of inertia of the body and both arms

$I_{total}$ = $I_{body}$ + 2 $I_{arm}$

$I_{body}$ = ½ M R²

The total mass is 64 kg, 1/8 corresponds to the arms and the rest to the body

M = 7/8 m total

M = 7/8 64

M = 56 kg

The mass of the arms is

m’= 1/8 m total

m’= 1/8 64

m’= 8 kg

As it has two arms the mass of each arm is half

m = ½ m ’

m = 4 kg

The arms are very thin, we will approximate them as a particle

$I_{arm}$ = M D²

Let's write the equation

$I_{total}$ = ½ M R² + 2 (m D²)

Let's calculate

$I_{total}$ = ½ 56 0.20² + 2 4 0.20²

$I_{total}$ = 1.12 + 0.32

$I_{total}$ = 1.44 kg m²

b) if you separate the arms from the body, the distance D increases quadratically, so the moment of inertia must increase

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the sun. its closest approach to the sun is a distance of 4.5 1010 m (inside the orbit

barxatty [35]

r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m

v1 = 9*10^4 m/s

From conservation of energy

K1 +U1 = K2 +U2

0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2

0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2

M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg

G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2

0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))

v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s

Why is velocity and not just speed important to these pilots

Alborosie

Velocity is a vector. Therefore, it depends on the direction. Pilots need to know the direction of wind, not just the speed. If the pilot is going South, and there's 5 mph wind going South, they'll be happy, but if the wind is going 5 mph North, they'll be going against the wind.

You leave the doctor's office after your annual checkup and recall that you weighed 688 N in her office. You then get into an el

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

$a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2}$ upwards

$a=1.283\ m.s^{-2}$ downwards

Explanation:

Given:

weight of the person, $w=688\ N$

So, the mass of the person:

$m=\frac{w}{g}$

$m=\frac{688}{9.81}$

$m=70.132\ kg$

Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, $w_a= 726\ N$

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

$\Delta w=w_a-w$

$\Delta w=726-688$

$\Delta w=38\ N$ is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

$a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}$

$a=\frac{38}{70.132}$

$a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2}$ upwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is increased here.

Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, $w_a= 598\ N$

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

$\Delta w=w-w_a$

$\Delta w=688-598$

$\Delta w=90\ N$ is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

$a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}$

$a=\frac{90}{70.132}$

$a=1.283\ m.s^{-2}$ downwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is decreased here.
