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

The speed of a car during a trip is represented in the graph. Compare distance and displacement at four hours into the trip.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: D.

Explanation:

Distance refers to the amount of space between two points, it is a scalar quantity.

Displacement refers to the space between two points, measure from the minimum path linking them, it is a vector quantity.

I'm not agree with these answers, because the total distance  is approximately 500km.

A) The distance traveled is 300 km.  This answer is not correct.

B) Distance is 300 km and displacement is 0 km.  This answer is not correct because the displacement is also 500 km.

C) Distance is 300 km/hour and displacement is 300 km. 300 km/h is a measure of speed not of distance, this option is wrong.

D) Both distance traveled and displacement are 300 km. I think this is the correct answer because distance and displacement measure the same. but I think both measure 500 km.

Continuous sinusoidal perturbation Assume that the string is at rest and perfectly horizontal again, and we will restart the clo
Elena-2011 [213]

a) 3.14 \cdot 10^{-4} s

b) See plot attached

c) 10.0 m

d) 0.500 cm

Explanation:

a)

The position of the tip of the lever at time t is described by the equation:

y(t)=(0.500 cm) sin[(2.00\cdot 10^4 s^{-1})t] (1)

The generic equation that describes a wave is

y(t)=A sin (\frac{2\pi}{T} t) (2)

where

A is the amplitude of the wave

T is the period of the wave

t is the time

By comparing (1) and (2), we see that for the wave in this problem we have

\frac{2\pi}{T}=2.00\cdot 10^4 s^{-1}

Therefore, the period is

T=\frac{2\pi}{2.00\cdot 10^4}=3.14 \cdot 10^{-4} s

b)

The sketch of the profile of the wave until t = 4T is shown in attachment.

A wave is described by a sinusoidal function: in this problem, the wave is described by a sine, therefore at t = 0 the displacement is zero, y = 0.

The wave than periodically repeats itself every period. In this sketch, we draw the wave over 4 periods, so until t = 4T.

The maximum displacement of the wave is given by the value of y when sin(...)=1, and from eq(1), we see that this is equal to

y = 0.500 cm

So, this is the maximum displacement represented in the sketch.

c)

When standing waves are produced in a string, the ends of the string act as they are nodes (points with zero displacement): therefore, the wavelength of a wave in a string is equal to twice the length of the string itself:

\lambda=2L

where

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

L is the length of the string

In this problem,

L = 5.00 m is the length of the string

Therefore, the wavelength is

\lambda =2(5.00)=10.0 m

d)

The amplitude of a wave is the magnitude of the maximum displacement of the wave, measured relative to the equilibrium position.

In this problem, we can easily infer the amplitude of this wave by looking at eq.(1).

y(t)=(0.500 cm) sin[(2.00\cdot 10^4 s^{-1})t]

And by comparing it with the general equation of a wave:

y(t)=A sin (\frac{2\pi}{T} t)

In fact, the maximum displacement occurs when the sine part is equal to 1, so when

sin(\frac{2\pi}{T}t)=1

which means that

y(t)=A

And therefore in this case,

y=0.500 cm

So, this is the displacement.

A scientist heats flexible container full of neon gas .what will most likely happen to the container as the gas absorbs heat
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
As the container starts to heat up, so will the neon gas. Heat is nothing but energy, and when you add energy to a gas, it will start vibrating much faster and hit the edges of the container at a higher rate and a faster velocity. Therefore, it's possible to deduce that the container will most likely rupture and/or "explode".

Answer:

a_{avg}=-1.5i+0.5k

1.58113883008\ m/s^2

-18.43^{\circ}\ or\ 161.57^{\circ}

Explanation:

u = 4.0i−2.0j+3.0k v = −2.0i−2.0j+5.0k

Average acceleration is given by

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{-2-4, -2+2, 5-3}{4}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.5i-0j+0.5k

a_{avg}=-1.5i+0.5k

The magnitude is

a_{avg}=\sqrt{(-1.5)^2+0.5^2}\\\Rightarrow a_{avg}=1.58113883008\ m/s^2

The magnitude is 1.58113883008\ m/s^2

The angle is

\theta=tan^{-1}\dfrac{a_z}{a_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\dfrac{0.5}{-1.5}\\\Rightarrow \theta=-18.43^{\circ}\ or\ 161.57^{\circ}

The angle between a_{avg} and the positive direction of the x axis is -18.43^{\circ}\ or\ 161.57^{\circ}
