An open diving chamber rests on the ocean floor at a water depth of 60 meter. Find the air pressure (gage pressure relative to t

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Gauge Pressure required = 606.258 kPa

Explanation:

Water will not enter the chamber if the pressure of air in it equals that of the water which tries to enter it.

Thus at a depth of 60m we have pressure of water equals

$P(z)=P_{0}+\rho _wgh$

Now the gauge pressure is given by

$P(z)-P_{0}=\rho _wgh$

Applying values we get

$P(z)-P_{0}=\rho _wgh\\\\P_{gauge}=1.03\times 1000\times 9.81\times 60Pa\\\\P_{gauge}=606258Pascals\\\\P_{gauge}=606.258kPa$

The electric potential at the origin of an xy-coordinate system is 40 V. A -8.0-μC charge is brought from x = +∞ to that point.

vredina [299]

Answer:

-320 μJ.

Explanation:

Consider a point with an electrical charge of $q$ . Assume that $V$ is the electrical potential at the position of that charge. The electrical potential of that point charge will be equal to:

$\text{Potential Energy} = q \cdot V$ .

Keep in mind that since both $q$ and $V$ might not be positive, the size of the electrical potential energy might not be positive, either.

For this point charge,

$q = \rm -8.0\; \mu C$ ; (that's -8.0 microjoules, which equals to $\rm -8.0\times 10^{-6}\; J$ )
$V = \rm 40\; V$ .

Hence its electrical potential energy:

$\text{Potential Energy} = q\cdot V = \rm (-8.0\; \mu C) \times 40\; V = -320\; \mu J$ .

Why is this value negative? The electrical potential energy of a charge is equal to the work needed to bring that charge from infinitely far away all the way to its current position. Also, negative charges are attracted towards regions of high electrical potential. Bringing this $\rm -8.0\; \mu C$ negative charge to the origin will not require any external work. Instead, this process will release 320 μJ of energy. As a result, the electrical potential energy is a negative value.

When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it<br><br>causes

geniusboy [140]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 0.015 A

Voltage, V = 240 volts

We need to find the resistance. Using Ohm's law we can find it as follows :

$V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{240}{0.015}\\\\R=16000\ \Omega$

So, When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it causes 16000 ohms of resistance.

Before the experiment, the total momentum of the system is 2.5 kg m/s to the right and the kinetic energy is 5J. After the exper

finlep [7]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.

Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.

As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is $2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1}$ and the kinetic energy is $5~J$ . After the collision, the total momentum of the system is $2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1}$ , but the kinetic energy is reduced to $4~J$ . So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.

Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
