The atmosphere pressure can support mercury in a tube, which the upper end is closed, up to 0.76 meter. If the mercury is replac

ed by pure water in this case, what is the maximum height the atmosphere pressure can support the water in such kind a tube? (The density of mercury is about 13.6 times larger than that of water).

Answer:

Maximum height the atmosphere pressure can support the

water=10.336 m

Explanation:

We know that ,

Pressure = h\cdot\rho\cdot g

Case 1 - Mercury in the tube

Density\ of\ mercury =\rho_1\\and\ height\ attained\ for\ mercury\ column = h_1

Case 2 - Water in the tube

Density\ of\ water =\rho_2\\and\ height\ attained\ for\ water\ column = h_2

Since atmospheric pressure is same

.P=h_1\cdot\rho_1\cdot g = h_2\cdot\rho_2\cdot g

or,  h_2=\frac{h_1\rho_1}{\rho_2}

Given\ h_1= 0.76\  m,\rho_1=13.6\cdot\rho_2

∴ h_2=0.76\cdot13.6=10.336\ m

Hence height of the water column =10.336 m

1) 1.028 m/s^2

We can solve this part by using Newton's second law:

F=ma (1)

where

F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

There are two forces acting on the boat:

F_1= 2.90 \cdot 10^3 N forward

F_2 = 1.69\cdot 10^3 N backward

So the net force is

F=2.90\cdot 10^3-1.69\cdot 10^3=1.21\cdot 10^3 N

We know that the mass of the boat is

m = 1177.5 kg

So we can now use eq.(1) to find the acceleration:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{1.21\cdot 10^3}{1177.5}=1.028 m/s^2

2) 161.0 m

We can solve this part by using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance travelled

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

Here we have

u = 0 (the boat starts from rest)

a=1.028 m/s^2

Substituting t = 17.7 s, we find the distance covered:

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(1.028)(17.7)^2=161.0 m

3) 18.2 m/s

The speed of the boat can be found with the following suvat equation

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

In this case we have

u = 0 (the boat starts from rest)

a=1.028 m/s^2

And substituting t = 17.7 s, we find the final velocity:

v=0+(1.028)(17.7)=18.2 m/s

And the speed is just the magnitude of the velocity, so 18.2 m/s.

A car is 2.0 km west of a traffic light at t = 0 and 5.0 km east of the light at t = 6.0 min. Assume the origin of the coordinat
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(a) Position Vectors V₁= -2î km, V₂=5î km

(b) Displacement Δx=7 km

Explanation:

Given data

Distance=2 km west at t=0

Distance=5 km east at t=6 min

Positive x is the east direction

To find

(a)Car position vector at given times

(b)Displacement between 0 to 6.0 min

Solution

For Part (a) car position vector at given times

At t=0 the distance=2 km west so conclude that x₁=-2 because it is in negative side So vector V₁

V₁= -2î km

At t=6.0 the distance=5 km east so conclude that x₂=5 because it is in positive side So vector V₂

V₂=5î km

For (b) displacement between 0 to 6.0 min

According to following mathematical law we can conclude that

Δx=x₂-x₁

Δx=5-(-2)km

Δx=7 km
