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 $1.96\times10^{11}\ N$

Answer:

$T=51.64^\circ F$

$t=180.10s$

Explanation:

The Newton's law in this case is:

$T(t)=T_m+Ce^{kt}$

Here, $T_m$ is the air temperture, C and k are constants.

We have

$70^\circ F$ in $t=0$

So:

$T(0)=70^\circ F\\T(0)=10^\circ F+Ce^{k(0)}\\70^\circ F=10^\circ F+C\\C=70^\circ F-10^\circ F=60^\circ F$

And we have $60^\circ F$ in $t=30 s$ , So:

$T(30)=60^\circ F\\T(30)=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\60^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\50^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\e^{k(30)}=\frac{50^\circ F}{60^\circ F}\\(30)k=ln(\frac{50}{60})\\k=\frac{ln(\frac{50}{60})}{30}=-0.0061$

Now, we have:

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}(1)$

Applying (1) for $t=1 min=60s$ :

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061*60}\\T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)0.694\\T=10^\circ F+41.64^\circ F\\T=51.64^\circ F$

Applying (1) for $T=30^\circ F$ :

$30^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\30^\circ F-10^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\-0.0061t=ln(\frac{20}{60})\\t=\frac{ln(\frac{20}{60})}{-0.0061}=180.10s$

Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, and Francis Crick’s discovered the DNA's Double Helix.

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

DNA is an abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid and it can be defined as the molecules that are found within cells, and they are saddled with the responsibility of storing genetic information in living organisms.

In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick's used other scientists' work to create a model of DNA in that they used Rosalind Franklin's photo to help them determine that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was a double helix.

Furthermore, the discovery of DNA's Double Helix by Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, and Francis Crick led to modern molecular biology, which has helped many scientists and researcher to understand how genes control the chemical processes in the body of a living organism.

Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2.35 s for a rock to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff wit

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

height of a cliff is 45.86 m

Explanation:

u=8 m/s

t=2.35 s

the height of the cliff is

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2\\S=8\times2.35+\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 2.35^2\\S=45.86 m$
