The rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

The speed by which rock hit the water is calculated by the formula

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2*9.8*12.7}

v=15.78 m/sec

Hence, the rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

What is the pressure at the bottom of a tank 1-m deep? Take the density of water to be 1000-kg/m^3, and gravitational accelerati
lara31 [8.8K]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to hydrostatic pressure. Which determines the pressure of a body at a given depth of a liquid.

Mathematically this can be described as

P= \rho gh

Here

\rho = Density

g = Gravity

h = Height (Depth)

If we replace the values given in the equation we will have to

P = 1000 (9.8)(1)

P = 9800 Pa

Therefore the pressure at the bottom will be 9.8kPa

One car travels 56 meters due east in 2.0 seconds, and a second car travels 84 meters due west in 3.0 seconds. During their peri
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

  average speed

Explanation:

The directions were different, so the velocities could not be the same.

However, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) was 56/2 = 28 m/s for the first car, and 84/3 = 28 m/s for the second car. These<em> average speeds are the same</em>.

a 2.0 kg ball is dropped from a height of 20 m onto a soft surface and rebounds to a height of 5.0 m . what is the magnitude of
Yuki888 [10]

Based on the data provided, the impulse of the floor on the ball is 59.4 Ns.

<h3>What is the impulse of the floor on the ball?</h3>

Using the equation of motion to determine the velocity at the end of the fall

  • v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

Where v is velocity at the end of fall

u is initial velocity = 0

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is height = 20

  • Taking downward velocity as negative and up as positive

v^2 = 0 + 2 (9.81)(20)

v^2 = 392.4

v = - 19.8 m/s

The velocity, v after bouncing is calculated also:

u = 0

g = 9.81 m/s^2

h = 5.0 m

v^2 = 0 + 2(9.81)(5)

v^2 = 98.1

v = 9.904 m/s

  • Impulse = change in momentum
  • Impulse = m(v- u)

Impulse = 2.0 × (9.9 -(-19.8)

Impulse = 59.4 Ns

Therefore, the impulse of the floor on the ball is 59.4 Ns.

You are working at a company that manufactures electrical wire. Gold is the most ductile of all metals: it can be stretched into
devlian [24]

Answer:R=1.424 M\Omega

Explanation:

Given

mass of gold m=1.6 gm

Length of wire L=2.2 km

Resistivity of gold \rho =2.44\times 10^{-8}

density of gold =19.3\times 10^3 kg/m^3

and mass=volume\times density

1.6\times 10^{-3}=volume\times 19.3\times 10^3

volume=8.29\times 10^{-8} m^3

And Resistance R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

also be written as

R=\frac{\rho L^2}{V}

where L=length

V=volume

\rho =resistivity\ of\ gold

R=\frac{2.44\times 10^{-8}\times (2200)^2}{8.29 \times 10^{-8}}

R=1.42\times 10^{6} \Omega

R=1.424 M\Omega
