Why doesn't the same amount of oil exerts always the same pressure at the bottom of a container of any shape?

Physics

Amanda [17]3 years ago

This is a good question. The short (but less satisfying) answer is: "because the hydrostatic pressure of oil at a certain depth depends on the height of the oil level, measured from that point." So, you can have a tiny amount of oil but arranged in a column that makes it very tall/high and get high pressure, and have same amount of oil spread so that the height is negligible to produce a negligible amount of pressure. The exact formula for pressure is P=r*h*g    (r stands for the liquid density, h for height, and g for gravitational acceleration).

The long answer, but much more satisfying, goes through the derivation of this formula. I recommend searching for a good video explaining hydrostatic pressure. (I can't post links).

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

b. a massive collapsed star

Explanation:

A black hole in the universe is nothing but a massive collapsed star. When the size of the star crosses a particular limit it cannot holds its mass and it collapses under it own self. This is called supernova. A black hole is actually a region in space where gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape through it. Gravity so strong because the matter has been pressed into a tiny space. hence option b is correct

What are some important factors to consider when choosing a warm-up before your workout?
TEA [102]

<u>Answer:</u>

Prior to exercise, a proper warm-up of 10-15 minutes is extremely important to avoid injuries.

  1. Don't go too hard in the beginning and boost your activity level slowly. A good indication of a proper warm-up is that you feel sweat on your body parts.
  2. Don't overstretch right in the beginning as it can cause sore in your muscles and joints or stress fractures.
  3. Take a break if you feel sick or fatigues and use other drinks along with water to replace electrolytes and body fluids.
