Answer:

Weight = 966 Newton.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length = 1.2 m

Width = 2.3 m

Pressure = 350 Pa

To find the weight of the tank;

We know that weight is the force of gravity acting on an object multiplied by its mass.

Weight = mg = force

Hence, we would determine the force using the parameters that were given.

But we would first determine the area of the rectangular tank.

Area of rectangle, A = length * width

A = 1.2 * 2.3

A = 2.76 m²

Mathematically, pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = force/area

Force = pressure * area

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Force = 2.76 * 350

Force = 966 Newton

Therefore, the weight of the tank is 966 Newton.

nata0808 [166]
The impulse is given by the magnitude of the force times the time interval:
I= F \Delta t
We can see that the force F of the 4 skateboard is always the same (33 N), this means that the skateboard with greatest impulse is the one with the largest time interval, so skateboard C).

How do the individual forces compare when the rider experiences a sensation being lighter than his normal weight ? What is the a
shusha [124]

Answer:

When the elevator is accelerating downward, the person feels lighter due to the downward normal force being less than the person's weight.

Explanation:

A person riding in an elevator subjected to a series of unbalanced forces depending on the direction the elevator is travelling.

Two forces are acting on the person; the force of gravity and the upward normal force from the elevator.

When the elevator is going upwards with acceleration a, the person feels heavier than his normal weight, due to the upward normal force being greater than the person's weight. N = mg + ma

When the elevator is moving downwards with acceleration a, the person feels lighter due to the downward normal force being less than the person's weight. N = mg - ma

However, when the elevator is moving up or down at constant velocity ie. acceleration a = 0, the person experience a normal force equal to weight. N = mg

When the elevator is moving downwards with acceleration a = g, the person experiences weightlessness. N = (mg - mg) = 0

A double-slit experiment uses light of wavelength 650 nm with a slit separation of 0.100 mm and a screen placed 4.0 m away. a) W
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Slit separation d = .1 x 10⁻³ m

Screen distance D = 4 m

wave length of light  λ = 650 x 10⁻⁹ m

Width of central fringe = λ D / d

= \frac{650\times10^{-9}\times4}{.1\times10^{-3}}

= 26 mm

b ) Distance between 1 st and 2 nd bright fringe will be equal to width of dark fringe which will also be equal to 26 mm

c ) Angular separation between the central maximum and 1 st order maximum will be equal to angular width of fringe which is equal to

λ  / d

= \frac{650\times10^{-9}}{.1\times10^{-3}}

= 6.5 x 10⁻³ radian.
