A tank, in the shape of a cube with each side measuring 2 meters, is half-full of water. Above the water is air that is pressuri

zed to 5 kPa. Calculate the resultant force on one side of the tank due to the air and water (ignore atmospheric pressure) and determine the height of this force above the bottom of the tank.

Answer:

Explanation:

The tank is half full so height of water level is at 1 m . Centre of gravity of water will be at height of .5 m . Pressure will act at this point .

Pressure = h d g where h is height of centre of mass of water column , d is density of water and g is acceleration due to gravity .

Pressure of water column  = .5 x 10³ x 9.8 = 4.9 k Pa .

Air is pressurized to 5 kPa so

resultant pressure  on one side of the tank due to the air and water

= 4.9 + 5 kPa = 9.9 kPa .

Total force on one face = pressure x area of one face under water

= 9.9 x 10³ x .5 x 2²

= 19.8 kN .

The kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 6.8 kg and a velocity of 5.0 m/s is J. (Report the answer to two significant figu
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Kinetic \ energy \ (KE) = 85 \ J}

Given:

Mass (m) = 6.8 kg

Speed (v) = 5.0 m/s

To Find:

Kinetic energy (KE)

Explanation:

Formula:

\boxed{ \bold{\sf KE =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }}

Substituting values of m & v in the equation:

\sf \implies KE =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 6.8 \times  {5}^{2}

\sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}}  \times  \cancel{2} \times 3.4 \times 25

\sf \implies KE =3.4 \times 25

\sf \implies KE = 85 \: J

A light wave passes through an aperture (that is, a narrow slit). When it does so, the degree to which the wave spreads out will
crimeas [40]

Explanation:

Single slit diffraction

Diffraction is the phenomenon of spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects. Diffraction occurs when the size of the aperture or obstacle is of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of the incident wave. For very small aperture sizes, the vast majority of the wave is blocked. in case of  large apertures the wave passes by or through the obstacle without any significant diffraction.

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from re
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

a) 17.33 V/m

b) 6308 m/s

Explanation:

We start by using equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2at², where

s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

u = 0 m/s

t = 3.8*10^-6 s, so that

0.012 = 0 * 3.8*10^-6 + 0.5 * a * (3.8*10^-6)²

0.012 = 0.5 * a * 1.444*10^-11

a = 0.012 / 7.22*10^-12

a = 1.66*10^9 m/s²

If we assume the electric field to be E, and we know that F =qE. Also, from Newton's law, we have F = ma. So that, ma = qE, and E = ma/q, where

E = electric field

m = mass of proton

a = acceleration

q = charge of proton

E = (1.67*10^-27 * 1.66*10^9) / 1.6*10^-19

E = 2.77*10^-18 / 1.6*10^-19

E = 17.33 V/m

Final speed of the proton can be gotten by using

v = u + at

v = 0 + 1.66*10^9 * 3.8*10^-6

v = 6308 m/s

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a
Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = 3.1 m

Width of the window = 2.1 m

Area of the window = (3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

                                           = (1.0-0.954) atm = 0.046 atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒  1 atm = 101325 Pa

⇒ 0.046 atm = 0.046\times 101325 =4660.95 Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}

⇒ Force =Pressure\times Area

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ Force =4660.95\times 6.51

⇒ Force=30342.78 Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.
