Find the force, in Newtons, on a rectangular metal plate with dimensions of 4 m by 8 m that is submerged horizontally in 9 m of

water. Water density is 1000 kg/m3 and acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest Newton.

Answer:

$F \approx 3*10^6$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Dimension of plate: $4 m by 8 m$

Depth submerged $d=9m$

Water density $\rho=1000 kg/m3$

Gravity $g=9.8m/s^2$

Generally the equation for Volume is mathematically given by

$V=L*B*d$

$V=4*8*9$

$V=288$

Therefore The mass of Plate is

$m=\rho*V$

$m=1000*288$

$m=288000kg$

Generally the equation for Force on the plate is mathematically given by

F=ma

$F=288000*9.8$

$F=2822400N$

$F=2.8*10^6$

$F \approx 3*10^6$

An ice cube at 0c was dropped into 30.0 g of water in a cup at 45.0c. at the instant that all of the ice was melted, the tempera

Ede4ka [16]

The amount of heat given by the water to the block of ice can be calculated by using
$Q=m_w C_{sw} \Delta T_w$
where
$m_w = 30 g$ is the mass of the water
$C_{sw}=4.18 J/(g ^{\circ}C)$ is the specific heat capacity of water
$\Delta T_w = 45.0^{\circ}-19.5^{\circ}C = 20.5^{\circ}C$ is the variation of temperature of the water.

Using these numbers, we find
$Q=(30 g)(4.18 J/(g^{\circ}C))(20.5^{\circ}C)=2571 J$

This is the amount of heat released by the water, but this is exactly equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the ice, used to melt it into water according to the formula:
$Q = m_i L_f$
where $m_i$ is the mass of the ice while $L_f =334 J/g$ is the specific latent heat of fusion of the ice.
Re-arranging this formula and using the heat Q that we found previously, we can calculate the mass of the ice:
$m_i = \frac{Q}{L_f}= \frac{2571 J}{334 J/g} =7.7 g$

A sound has a sound level of 30 dB. Its intensity is what multiple of the standard reference level for intensities?

arsen [322]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

1000th multiple of the standard reference level for intensities.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sound intensity level (β), measured in decibels, of a sound with an intensity of I is defined as follows;

β = 10 log (I / I₀) --------------------(i)

Where;

I₀ = reference intensity

Given from the question;

β = sound level = 30dB

Substitute this value into equation (i) as follows;

30 = 10 log (I / I₀)

Divide both sides by 3;

3 = log (I / I₀)

Take antilog of both sides;

10^(3) = (I / I₀)

1000 = I / I₀

Solve for I;

I = 1000I₀

Therefore the intensity of the sound is 1000 times the standard reference level for intensities (I₀)

Answer:

B. decreases while his angular speed remains unchanged.

Explanation:

His angular speed will always be the same as the wheel's angular speed, which remains constant as it's in uniform motion. As for linear speed, which is defined as the product of angular speed and distance r to the center of rotation, and his distance to center is decreasing, his linear speed must be decreasing as well.
