Answer:

P = ρgh

P = (1000 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(4 m)

Explanation:

In the case of the water stored in a tank, the pressure at its bottom is the weight acting on a unit area of the surface where the tank is kept. To turn that into an equation: Pressure = weight/area, and weight = mass (m) * acceleration due to gravity (g). This means pressure = m * g/ area

The pressure in a liquid at a given depth is called the hydrostatic pressure. This can be calculated using the hydrostatic equation:

P = ρgh

P = (1000 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(4 m)

Burka [1]

The structure and curvature of the Earth results in beams of sunlight glancing off the equator and reaching other areas of the Earth. This means that the areas at the equator receive more energy as sun's rays hit them directly.
Therefore, the answer is C.

You adjust the temperature so that a sound wave travels more quickly through the air. You increase the temperature from 30°C to

earnstyle [38]

The correct answer to the question is : D) 352.6 m/s.

CALCULATION :

As per the question, the temperature is increased from 30 degree celsius to 36 degree celsius.

We are asked to calculate the velocity of sound at 36 degree celsius.

Velocity of sound is dependent on temperature. More is the temperature, more is velocity of sound.

The velocity at this temperature is calculated as -

V = 331 + 0.6T m/s

= 331 + 0.6 × 36 m/s

= 331 + 21.6 m/s

= 352.6 m/s.

Here, T denotes the temperature of the surrounding.

Hence, velocity of the sound will be 352.6 m/s.

Which term means the distance between two bridge supports?

Ad libitum [116K]

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet, and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

An aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

1822.14 J/kg C

Explanation:

Mass of aluminum = 0.100 kg

Mass of Water = 0.250 kg

Mass of copper = 0.300 kg

Mass of unknown object = 0.70 kg

Initial temperature of Aluminum = 10 C

Initial temperature of water = 10 C

Initial temperature of copper = 30 C

Initial temperature of = 100 C

Final temperature of all substances = 20 C

Change in temperature of each of them Aluminum, water , copper and unknown material respectively = 10 C , 10 C , -10 C, -80 C respectively

Specific heat of each of them Aluminum, water , copper and unknown material respectively = 900,4186,387 and c respectively.

Heat gained by aluminum and water = (0.1)(900)(10) + (0.250)(4186)(10) = 11365 j

heat lost by copper and unknown material =(0.3)(387)(-10) = -1161

heat lost by unknown material = (0.070)(c)(-80) = -5.6 c

Now solve for c using the calorimetry principle.

Heat lost + Heat gained = 0

⇒ -5.6 c = -11365 - (-1161) = -10204 j

Specific heat of unknown material = - 10204 / -5.6

= 1822.14 j/kg C

b) Material having a specific heat of 1800 j /kg C is

Polyurethane elastomer.
