You are assigned the design of a cylindrical, pressurized water tank for a future colony on Mars, where the acceleration due to

gravity is 3.71 m/s^2. The pressure at the surface of the water will be 150 kPa , and the depth of the water will be 13.6 m . The pressure of the air outside the tank, which is elevated above the ground, will be 93.0 kPa .
A) Find the net downward force on the tank's flat bottom, of area 2.15 m^2 , exerted by the water and air inside the tank and the air outside the tank.

Answer:

630.93 kN of force.

Explanation:

Pressure inside the tank is 150 kPa

The acceleration due to gravity on Mars g is 3.71 m/s^2.

The depth of water h is 13.6 m.

Pressure due to air outside tank is 93 kPa

The density of water p is 1000 kg/m^3

Pressure of the water on the tank bottom will be equal to pgh

Pressure of water = pgh

= 1000 x 3.71 x 13.6 = 50456 Pa

= 50.456 kPa.

Total pressure at the bottom of the tank will be pressure within tank and pressure due to water and pressure outside tank.

Pt = (150 + 50.456 + 93) = 293.456 kPa

Force at the bottom of the tank will be pressure times area of tank bottom.

F = Pt x A

F = 293.456 x 2.15 m^2 = 630.93 kN

(a) See graph in attachment

The appropriate graph to draw in this part is a graph of velocity vs time.

In this problem, we have a horse that accelerates from 0 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 s.

Assuming the acceleration of the horse is uniform, it means that the velocity (y-coordinate of the graph) must increase linearly with the time: therefore, the velocity-time graph will appear as a straight line, having the final point at

t = 10 s

v = 15 m/s

(b) 1.5 m/s^2

The average acceleration of the horse can be calculated as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

In this problem,

u = 0

v = 15 m/s

t = 10 s

Substituting,

a=\frac{15-0}{10}=1.5 m/s^2

(c) 75 m

For a uniformly accelerated motion, the distance travelled can be calculated by using the suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance travelled

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

a is the acceleration

In this problem,

u = 0

t = 10 s

a=1.5 m/s^2

Substituting,

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(1.5)(10)^2=75 m

(d) See attached graphs

In a uniformly accelerated motion:

- The distance travelled (x) follows the equation mentioned in part c,

x=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

So, we see that this has the form of a parabola: therefore, the graph x vs t will represents a parabola.

- The acceleration is constant during the motion, and its value is

a=1.5 m/s^2 (calculated in part b)

therefore, the graph acceleration vs time will show a flat line at a constant value of 1.5 m/s^2.

Wave speed  =  (wavelength)  x  (frequency)

                   =   (45 meters)   x   (9 per second)

                   =         405 meters per second .

Two long straight wires are parallel and carry current in the same direction. The currents are 8.0 and 12 A and the wires are se
Bess [88]

A magnetic field is a mathematical description of the magnetic influence of electric currents and magnetic materials. The magnetic field at any point is specified by two values, the direction and the magnitude; such that it is a vector field. Mathematically it is described as,

B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi d}

Here

\mu_0=  Permeability at free space constant

I_{1,2}= Current at each object

d = Distance to the center point of the two object

Two magnetic field due to the current in the same directions then is,

B = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2\pi d_1}+\frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2\pi d_2}

Replacing,

B = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(8)}{2\pi (2*10^{-3})}+\frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(12)}{2\pi (2*10^{-3})}

B = 8*10^{-4} +12*10^{-4}

B = 20*10^{-4}T

Therefore the correct answer is E.
