Answer:

Area=1.5(1.5)=2.25m^2

Force of gravity=10N

\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=\dfrac{Force}{Area}\end{gathered}

⟼Pressure=

Area

Force

\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=\dfrac{10}{2.25}\end{gathered}

⟼Pressure=

2.25

\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=4.4Pa\end{gathered}

⟼Pressure=4.4Pa

Are materials that dissolve in water hydrophobic or hydrophilic

stira [4]

Answer:

hydrophilic

Explanation:

hydrophobic means it hates water so a hydrophobic material would separate from the water and just sit there (an example of this is oil)

You are tasked with calibrating the springs for a pinball machine. Your method of testing the springs is by attaching masses ont

choli [55]

Answer:

$490.5\ \text{N/m}$

Explanation:

m = Mass attached to spring = 14 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

x = Displacement of spring = $78-50=28\ \text{cm}$

k = Spring constant

The force balance of the system is given by

$kx=mg\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{14\times 9.81}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow k=490.5\ \text{N/m}$

The spring constant for that spring is $490.5\ \text{N/m}$ .

You have two points in a soil. Point A is at 75 cm; point B is at 25 cm above the reference. The capillary potential energy at p

user100 [1]

Answer:

The potential energy at point A is 17.1675 J

Explanation:

The capillary potential is the work expended to bring up a unit mass of liquid to a point in a capillary region from a level liquid surface. It is the capillary potential that facilitates the movement of moisture within soil capillaries

In meteorology it is used to describe the level of saturated soil above the water table

Potential energy is the energy inherent in a body by virtue of its position, therefore the potentials of both point A and B are

Point A, elevation = 75 cm capillary potential = -100 cm

Point B, elevation = 25 cm capillary potential = -200 cm

The total potential energy at point A is

Elevation above reference - capillary potential =75-(-100) = 175 cm

which gives per unit mass

PE = m × g × h = 1 kg × 9.81 m/s ² × 1.75 m = 17.1675 kg·m²/s² = 17.1675 J

How would you describe the appearance of the substance after the phase change?

Leona [35]

Answer:

Substances can change phase—often because of a temperature change. At low temperatures, most substances are solid; as the temperature increases, they become liquid; at higher temperatures still, they become gaseous. The process of a solid becoming a liquid is called melting.

A ball of mass M is suspended by a thin string (of negligible mass) from the ceiling of an elevator.uploaded image

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

(a) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a higher floor. T > mg

(b) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is increasing as it begins its journey towards a higher floor. T > mg

(c) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a lower floor. T < mg

(d) The elevator is traveling downward at a constant velocity. T = mg

(e) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is increasing. T < mg

(f) The elevator is stationary and remains at rest. T = mg

Explanation:

To answer this question, consider all the forces acting on the elevator.

The mass of the ball acting downwards due to gravity = mg

The tension on the string depends on upward or downwards force on the ball. T = m(a+g)

where a is acceleration and increase in velocity causes increase in acceleration, and vice versa. (a = v/t)

(a) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a higher floor.

If the upward velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is also decreasing, and acceleration is not equal to Zero

T = m(a+g) > mg

(b) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is increasing as it begins its journey towards a higher floor.

If the upward velocity is increasing, its acceleration is also increasing.

Then, T = m(a+g) > mg

If the downward velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is also decreasing, and acceleration is not equal to Zero

T = m(a-g) < mg

(d) The elevator is traveling downward at a constant velocity

At constant velocity, acceleration is zero, because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

T = m(0+g) = mg

(e) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is increasing

If the downward velocity is increasing, its acceleration is also increasing

T = m(a-g) < mg

(f) The elevator is stationary and remains at rest.

if the elevator is at rest, its acceleration is zero

T = m(0+g) = mg
