Answer:

1. 39068.07 N

2. 19534.036 N

Explanation:

depth of water h = 10 m

atmospheric pressure Patm = 101325 Pa

density of water p = 1000 kg/m^3

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s^2

pressure due to depth of water = pgh

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 10 = 98100 Pa

total pressure on the bottom of the tank is Patm + p = 101325 + 98100 = 199425 Pa

Left plug has diameter = 50 cm = 0.5 m

radius = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

height = 1 cm = 0.01 m

height below tank surface = 10 - 0.01 = 9.99

pressure at this depth = 1000 x 9.81 x 9.99 = 98001.9 Pa

total pressure = Patm + P = 101325 + 98001.9 = 199326.9 Pa

surface area of plug = π $r^{2}$ = 3.142 x $0.25^{2}$ = 0.196 $m^{2}$

force required to lift left plug = pressure x area

F = 199326.9 x 0.196 = 39068.07 N

The right side is a hemisphere with the same diameter, therefore surface area is half of the left plug

A = 0.196/2 = 0.098 $m^{2}$

force F required to lift right plug = 199326.9 x 0.098 = 19534.036 N

A long-distance runner is running at a constant speed of 5 m/s.

vivado [14]

Answer:

3.33 minutes (3 minutes and 20 seconds)

Explanation:

Speed of the runner = s = 5 m/s

We need to calculate how will it take for runner to complete 1 km. We have the speed, the distance and we need to find the time. Before performing any calculations, we must convert the values to same units.

Speed is in m/s and distance is in kilometers. So we have to either convert speed to km/s or distance into meters. In this case, converting distance into meters would be a convenient option.

1 kilo meters = 1000 meters

The distance, speed and time are related by the equation:

Distance = Speed x Time

So,

Time = Distance/Speed

Using the values, we get:

t = 1000/5

t = 200 seconds

This means, the runner can complete 1 kilometers in 200 seconds. Since, there are 60 seconds in a minute, we can convert this time to minutes, by dividing it by 60. i.e.

$200 \text{ sec} = \frac{200}{60} \text{ min} = 3.33 \text{ min}$

Thus, it will take the runner 3.33 minutes (3 minutes and 20 seconds) to travel 1 km.

Because angular momentum is conserved, an ice-skater who throws her arms out will

ki77a [65]

This is an example of conservation of angular momentum.

The ice skater will rotate more slowly because her arms would be considered the outside torque that is impacting her constant angular momentum.

So, an ice-skater who throws her arms out will rotate more slowly.

Does any body know anything about Criminal justice??

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Criminal justice is the delivery of justice to those who have committed crimes. The criminal justice system is a series of government agencies and institutions whose goal is to identify and catch the law-breakers and to inflict a form of punishment on them.

Explain the law of conservation of mass and how it applies to balancing chemical equations

Sonja [21]

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
