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 3.1 kg ball is dropped from the top of a 38 m tall building. What is the speed of the ball when it is halfway from the buildin
Archy [21]

Answer:

19.3m/s

Explanation:

Use third equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2gh

where v is the velocity at halfway, u is the initial velocity, g is gravity (9.81m/s^2) and h is the height at which you'd want to find the velocity

insert values to get answer

v^2-0^2=2(9.81m/s^2)(38/2)\\v^2=9.81m/s^2 *38\\v^2=372.78\\v=\sqrt[]{372.78} \\v=19.3m/s

What is larger a Atom or a Molecule?
Kipish [7]
I believe an Atom is a very powerful source, the basic unit of a chemical element. An atom is a source of nuclear energy.


But a molecule on the other hand isn't so different.
a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
I hope that helps, have a fantastic day!

Heat is transferred from molecules with more kinetic energy to molecules with _________kinetic energy.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

low

Explanation:

the higher the kinetic energy, the More the vibration of molecules, thus heat is more on the side with highly vibrating molecules

What is solar wind i ask that you help me
Novay_Z [31]
My answer -

the corona, the sun's outer layer, reaches temperatures of up to 2 million degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 million Celsius). At this level, the sun's gravity can't hold on to the rapidly moving particles, and it streams away from the star.

The sun's activity shifts over the course of its 11-year cycle, with sun spot numbers, radiation levels, and ejected material changing over time. These alterations affect the properties of the solar wind, including its magnetic field properties, velocity, temperature and density. The wind also differs based on where on the sun it comes from and how quickly that portion is rotating.

The velocity of the solar wind is higher over coronal holes, reaching speeds of up to 500 miles (800 kilometers) per second. The temperature and density over coronal holes are low, and the magnetic field is weak, so the field lines are open to space. These holes occur at the poles and low latitudes, and reach their largest when activity on the sun is at its minimum. Temperatures in the fast wind can reach up to 1 million degrees F (800,000 C).

At the coronal streamer belt around the equator, the solar wind travels more slowly, at around 200 miles (300 km) per second. Temperatures in the slow wind reach up to 2.9 million F (1.6 million C).

p.s

Glad to help you and if you need anything else on brainly let me know so I can elp you again have an AWESOME!!! :^)
