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

Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.

Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.

Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.

A bus is traveling with a uniform acceleration of 2.75 meters/second2. If the initial velocity of the bus is 16.5 meters/second,
Kaylis [27]
<span>The velocity will be 41.25 m/s2 after 9 seconds. To find velocity after a specific time period, multiply the acceleration (2.75) times the number of seconds (9) to receive 24.75 m/s, then add that to the initial velocity of 16.5 m/s. 24.75 + 16.5 = 41.25 m/s2.</span>
