A pickup truck is being driven down the highway carrying eight 100 gallon fish tank full of water. A hole is punctured in each t

ank and the water flows out of the tanks and truck to the ground. If the driver maintains the same pressure on the gas pedal, and the road stays flat and level, what happens to the velocity of the truck and which conservation law applies?

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the vehicle would increase because the the tanks (when filled with water) must have exerted a force which would reduce the velocity of the vehicle at a certain pressure on the gas pedal. Note that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration; as the mass decreases, so the force decreases. Thus, when the mass exerted by this tanks (on the vehicle) decrease as a result of the hole punctured in them, the force exerted by the tanks would also decrease causing an increase in velocity of the pick up truck when the same pressure is applied on the gas pedal throughout (before and after the puncture).

The conservation law that applied here is the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. This is because the energy the vehicle used in carrying the load (the tanks) was transformed to the energy that resulted in increasing  it's velocity (no new energy was formed as the pressure on the gas pedal remained the same).

Arrange the examples in order, starting with the object that has the least amount of energy. In each case, assume there’s no fri
Artemon [7]
First example: book, m= 0.75 kg, h=1.5 m, g= 9.8 m/s², it has only potential energy Ep,

Ep=m*g*h=0.75*9.8*1.5=11.025 J

Second example: brick, m=2.5 kg, v=10 m/s, h=4 m, it has potential energy Ep and kinetic energy Ek,

E=Ep+Ek=m*g*h + (1/2)*m*v²=98 J + 125 J= 223 J

Third example: ball, m=0.25 kg, v= 10 m/s, it has only kinetic energy Ek

Ek=(1/2)*m*v²=12.5 J.

Fourth example: stone, m=0.7 kg, h=7 m, it has only potential energy Ep,

Ep=m*g*h=0.7*9.8*7=48.02 J

The order of examples starting with the lowest energy:

1. book, 2. ball, 3. stone, 4. brick

How far can a sound wave travel in 90 seconds when the ambient air temperature is 10 C?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:

v = v₀√[T/273 k]

where,

v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?

v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k

Therefore,

v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]

v = 337 m/s

Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled  by sound:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

t = time taken = 90 s

Therefore,

s = (337 m/s)(90 s)

<u>s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km</u>

Does sand stay sand forever?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

No sand doesn't stay sand forever.

Explanation:

  • We may have a thought that the sand we see on the beach areas are always the same one for eternal, but it is not true.
  • Due to different activities like beach nourishment, sand replenishment etc. the sand in the beach areas are changed and replaced.
  • If the sand remained there for long time, it also affects the sand eating organisms and plants.
