Answer:

The hydro static force on the back of the dam is 1.96\times10^{11}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Width b= 1000 m

Depth d= 200 m

We need to calculate the average pressure

Using formula of  average pressure

P_{avg}=\rho\times g\times d_{avg}

Put the value into the formula

P_{avg}=1000\times9.8\times100

P_{avg}=980000\ Pa

We need to calculate  the hydro static force on the back of the dam

Using formula of force

F = P_{avg}\times A

Put the value into the formula

F = 980000\times1000\times200

F=1.96\times10^{11}\ N

Hence, The hydro static force on the back of the dam is 1.96\times10^{11}\ N

Calculate the average linear momentum of a particle described by the following wavefunctions: (a) eikx, (b) cos kx, (c) e−ax2 ,
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) p=0, b) p=0, c) p= ∞

Explanation:

In quantum mechanics the moment operator is given by

              p = - i h’  d φ / dx

             h’= h / 2π

We apply this equation to the given wave functions

a)  φ = e^{ikx}

        .d φ dx = i k e^{ikx}

We replace

        p = h’ k e^{ikx}

        i i = -1

The exponential is a sine and cosine function, so its measured value is zero, so the average moment is zero

            p = 0

b) φ = cos kx

           p = h’ k sen kx

The average sine function is zero,

          p = 0

c) φ = e^{-ax^{2} }

         d φ / dx = -a 2x  e^{-ax^{2} }

         .p = i a g ’2x  e^{-ax^{2} }

       The average moment is

         p = (p₂ + p₁) / 2

         p = i a h ’(-∞ + ∞)

         p = ∞

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached
MissTica

Answer:

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.

Explanation:

  • When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
  • During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
  • In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
  • At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.

Please solve this question ​
lesantik [10]

Answer:

88200 Pa

it is because

height =9m

density=1000kg/m(cube)

gravity = 9.8m/s(square)

now,

P=d×g×h

= 1000×9.8×9

=88200pa

Sindrei [870]
<span>The characteristic not observed is the sun and planets rotate in the same direction. The planets in the solar system go around the sun. The sun is in a fixed position relative to planets. The time one planet takes to go around the sun is a year on that planet. the suns gravity keeps the solar system together and th planets revolving aroud it </span>
