At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10^5 Pa. People can normally snorkel down to a depth of roughly one meter. What

is the additional pressure on the air in their lungs? (Assume they are diving in fresh water.)
Please correctly explain the answer

Answer:

1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa.

We need to find the total pressure on the air in the lungs of a person to a depth of 1 meter.

Pressure at a depth is given by :

$P=\rho gh$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of air, $\rho=1.225\ kg/m^3$

So,

$P=1.225\times 9.8\times 1\\\\=12\ Pa$

Total pressure, P = Atmospheric pressure + 12 Pa

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa + 12 Pa

= 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Hence, the total pressure is 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.

the net external force on the 24-kg mower is stated to be 51 N. If the force of friction opposing the motion is 24 N, what force

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

PART A)

External force will be 75 N

PART B)

distance moved will be 1.125 m

Explanation:

PART A)

Given that net force on the mower is

$F_{net} = 51 N$

now we also know that friction force due to ground is given as

$F_f = 24 N$

now we have

$F_{net} = F_{ext} - F_f$

$51 = F_{ext} - 24$

$F_{ext} = 75 N$

so external force will be 75 N

PART B)

deceleration due to friction when external force is removed from it

$a = \frac{F_f}{m}$

$a = \frac{24}{24} = 1 m/s^2$

now we can find the distance by kinematics

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 1.5^2 = 2(-1)d$

$d = 1.125 m$

so the distance moved will be 1.125 m

A motorcyclist heading east through a small town accelerate at constant 4.0meter per seconds square after he leaves the limits.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A) The position at t = 2.0 sec is 43.0 m east

B) The position is 55 m east

Explanation:

A)

In order to solve the problem, we take the east direction as positive direction.

We know that:

- at t = 0, the motorcyclist is at a position of $x_0 = 5.0 m$

- at t = 0, the initial velocity of the motorcyclist is $v_0 = 15.0 m$ east

- The acceleration of the motorcyclist is constant and it is $a=4.0 m/s^2$

Since the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the position of the motorcylist is given by the expression

$x(t)=x_0 + v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where t is the time.

Substituting t = 2.0 s, we find the position:

$x(2.0)=(5.0)+(15)(2.0)+\frac{1}{2}(4.0)(2.0)^2=43 m$

B)

The velocity of the motoryclist can be found by calculating the derivative of the position. Therefore, it is:

$v(t)=x'(t)=v_0 + at$

where:

$v_0=15.0 m/s$ is the initial velocity

$a=4.0 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

We want to find the time t at which the velocity is

v = 25 m/s

Solving the equation for t,

$t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}=\frac{25-15}{4}=2.5 s$

And therefore, the position at t = 2.5 s is:

$x(2.5s)=5.0+(15.0)(2.5)+\frac{1}{2}(4)(2.5)^2=55 m$

Because of barriers and obstructions, you can see only a tiny fraction of a standing wave on a string. You do not know, for inst

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

(1) Sure, the frequency is 1000 Hz.

Explanation:

Frequency = wave speed ÷ wave distance

wave speed = 100 m/s

wave distance = 10 cm = 10/100 = 0.1 m

Frequency = 100 ÷ 0.1 = 1000 Hz

juin [17]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The velocity is $v =0.333 \ m/s$ in positive x -direction

The speed is $s = 0.733 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance from the house to truck is D = 20 m

The distance traveled back to retrieve wind-blown hat is d = 15

The distance from the wind-blown hat position too the truck is k = 20 m

The total time taken is t = 75 s

Generally when calculating the displacement the Justin's backward movement to collect his wind - blown hat is taken as negative

Generally Justin's displacement is mathematically represented as

$L = 20 - 15 + 20$

=> $L = 25 \ m$

Generally the average velocity is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{L}{t}$

=> $v = \frac{25}{75}$

=> $v =0.333 \ m/s$

Generally the distance covered by Justin is mathematically represented as

$R = D+ d + k$

=> $R = 20 + 15 +20$

=> $R = 55 \ m$

Generally Justin's average speed over a 75 s period is mathematically represented as

$s = \frac{R}{ t}$

=> $s = \frac{55}{ 75}$

=> $s = 0.733 \ m/s$
