Hey how's your day going

I hope after I answer that you understand and don't just paste my answer into your assignment!!! (<- read!!!)

Answer \|/

             

Ice is less dense than water.

Reason why \|/

                   

When water freezes the molecules inside completely stop moving (They still vibrate but don't change their position much). In doing so, they spread out a touch which makes it less dense than liquid water. So ice floats

A race car circles 10 times around a circle with a diameter of 7 km track in 50 min. Using SI
vodka [1.7K]

Average Speed = 23.33 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Diameter = 7 km

So, to find the distance, we need to multiply it by 10 as the race car circles 10 times round this 7 km track.

Distance = 7 × 10 = 70 Km or 70,000 m

Time        = 50 mins

                = 50 × 60 = 3000 s

Now, in order to find the average speed for 10 cycles, we use the formula:

Speed = \frac {Distance} {Time}

So by substituting the above values in the given formula, we get:

Speed = \frac {70,000} {3000}

Speed = 23.33 m/s

The figure shows a water-filled syringe with a 4.0-cm-long needle. What is the gauge pressure of the water at the point P, where
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Pressure at P point is given as

P_p = 1.042 \times 10^5 Pa

Explanation:

As we know by poiseuille's equation of viscous flow of liquid through cylindrical pipe

Q = \frac{\Delta P \pi r^4}{8\eta L}

here we know that

L = 4 cm

\eta = 1 \times 10^{-3} Pa s

r = 1 mm

Q = flow rate

\pi r^2 v = \frac{\Delta P \pi r^4}{8\eta L}

v = \frac{\Delta P r^2}{8 \eta L}

10 = \frac{\Delta P (10^{-3})^2}{8(1 \times 10^[-3})(0.04)}

3.2 \times 10^{-3} = \Delta P (10^{-6})

\Delta P = 3.2 \times 10^3 Pa

now we have

P_p - P_{atm} = 3.2 \times 10^3

P_p = 1.01 \times 10^5 + 3.2 \times 10^3

P_p = 1.042 \times 10^5 Pa

imagine you are working as a rollercoaster designer. you are building a ride the top speed of a 65m/s at the bottom of the first
polet [3.4K]

Rollercoasters generate speed by converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy by taking the cart to the top of a large hill and letting it go. The conversion of a perfectly efficient system would be like so:

PE = KE

and using the formulas for potential and kinetic energy:

mgh = 1/2mv^2.

However, the efficiency of this system is 50%, meaning that the kinetic energy obtained from this conversion would appear as so:

PE=0.5 KE

mgh=0.5(1/2mv^2)

mgh=1/4mv^2.

The masses cancel out, leaving:

gh=1/4v^2

The goal is to achieve 65 m/s, and with Earth’s innate gravity of 9.806 m/s^2, we have:

gh=1/4v^2

(9.806)h=1/4(65)^2

h=107.71 meters

The height of the first hill must be 107.7 meters to generate a speed of 65 m/s with a conversion efficiency of 50%.

Hope this helps!
