A U-tube with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 cm2 is open to the atmosphere at both ends. Water is poured into the tube until the

water rises part-way along the straight sides, and then 5.00 cm3 of oil is poured into one end. As a result, the top surface of the oil ends up 0.550 cm higher than the water surface on the other side of the U. What is the density of the oil

Answer:

0.89 g/cm^3 = 890 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Cross sectional area of U-tube ( A ) = 1.00 cm^2

volume of oil ( V )  = 5.00 cm^3

change between top surface = 0.550 cm

height of oil = 5 cm  ( volume / area )

height of water = 5 - 0.550 = 4.45 cm

pressure at the oil-water junction = Pressure on the second side of the U-tube at same level

Po * g * Hoil = Pw * g * Hwater

Po * 5 = 1 * 4.45

∴ Density of oil ( Po ) = 4.45 / 5  g/cm^3 = 0.89 g/cm^3

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

(a) 7.1 m /sec

(b) 339.9 N/m

(c) 19.91 cm

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 267 gram = 0.267 kg

Time period T = 0.176 sec

Total energy of the oscillating  system = 6.74 J

We know that energy is given by

(a) Ke=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2

6.74=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.267\times v_{max}^2

v_{max}=7.1m/sec

(b) Now \omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{0.176}=35.681rad/sec

We know that \omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

35.68=\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.267}}

k=339.9N/m

(c) We know that energy is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}KA^2

6.74=\frac{1}{2}\times 339.9\times A^2

A=19.91cm

Traveling at an average rateaverage rate of between 50 and 60 miles per hour for 4 to 7 hours select the best estimate for the d
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

best close estimate distance is 315 miles

Explanation:

given data

speed v1 = 50 miles per hour

speed v2 = 60 miles  per hour

time t1 = 4 hr

time t2 = 7 hr

to find out

best estimate for the distance traveled

solution

we know lower end distance

distance = v1 × t1

distance = 50 × 4 = 200 miles

and

upper end distance

distance = v2 × t2

distance = 60 × 7 = 420 miles

so middle value distance is

v = 55 miles per hour and t = 5.5 hours

distance = v × t  

distance = 55 × 5.5

distance = 302.5 miles

so best close estimate distance is 315 miles

A 66-kg fellow stands on a digital scale in an elevator that accelerates upwards from rest to 4.5 m/s in 2.00 s. show answer Inc
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the fellow ( m ) = 66kg

acceleration of fellow a

v = u + at

4.5 = 0 + a x 2

a = 4.5 /2

= 2.25 m / s²

Net force acting on fellow in upward direction by the surface of  elevator

R - mg where R is reaction force of the surface of the elevator

Applying Newton's law of motion

R - mg = ma

R = m (g +a )

= 66 x ( 9.8 + 2 )

= 778.8 N

This will be the scale reading .

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A lateral eruptions or lateral blast is a volcanic eruption which is directed laterally from a volcano rather than upwards from the summit. Lateral eruptions are caused by the outward expansion of flanks due to rising magma. Breaking occurs at the flanks of volcanoes making it easier for magma to flow outward.
