Calculate the (absolute) pressure at the bottom of a neighborhood swimming pool 30.0 m by 8.0 m whose uniform depth is 2.0 m. Th
Alika [10]

Answer:

Total pressure= 120945[Pa]

Force exerted = 29026800 [N] or 29.02*10^6 [N]

Explanation:

We know that the total pressure is the result of the sum of the atmospheric pressure plus the manometric pressure. The equation is:

Ptotal=Patm + Pman

In this problem we know the atmospheric pressure 101.325x10^3 [Pa], therefore we need to find the manometric pressure.

The manometric pressure in the bottom of the swimming pool depends only on the water column of water generated (depth of the swimming pool)

Pman = density*g*h

where:

density = density of the water 1000 [kg/m^3]

g= gravity [m/s^2]

h= column of water (meters)

replacing the values:

Pman= 1000 *9.81* 2 = 19620 [Pa]\\\\

The total pressure will be:

Ptotal= 101325+19620 = 120945 [Pa]\\\\

The force exerte on the bottom is defined by the following expression:

Pressure=Force/area\\\\Force= Pressure*Area\\\\Area = 30m*8m= 240 m^2Force= 120945*240\\Force= 29026800N or 2958 Ton

What is number 30,31 in this picture?
Maslowich
On question 30, that is a displacement- time graph (DT). On this type of graph the gradient is equal to the velocity. B has the steepest gradient, then A and finally C

Now velocity is a vector quantity so it has a direction and speed ( speed doesn't have a fixed direction.)

on the DT graph im going to assume that movement B is a positive velocity with A and C being negative. 
So by ranking these: A is the most negative, C is the least negative and B has to be the greatest as it is the only positive velocity. 

Q31, The same type of graph is present, by looking at the gradients we can rank the largest and smallest velocities- speeds in the case of the question. 
i'll skip my working out as its the same as before:

C, B, A and then D

the same idea as on Q30 applies to Q31 part b, 

D,C,B then A

A hollow cylinder is given a velocity of 5.3 m/s and rolls up an incline to a height of 2.87 m. If a hollow sphere of the same m
Valentin [98]

Answer:

E = 1/2 M V^2 + 1/2 I ω^2 = 1/2 M V^2 + 1/2 I V^2 / R^2

E = 1/2 M V^2 (1 + I / (M R^2))

For a cylinder I = M R^2

For a sphere I = 2/3 M R^2

E(cylinder) = 1 + 1 = 2       omitting the 1/2 M V^2

E(sphere) = 1 + 2/3 = 1.67

E(cylinder) / E(sphere) = 2 / 1.67 = 1.2

The cylinder initially has 1.20 the energy of the sphere

The PE attained is proportional to the initial KE

H(sphere) = 2.87 / 1/2 = 2.40 m    since it has less initial KE

Lila is a track and field athlete. She must complete four laps around a circular track. The track itself is a 400 meter track an
fgiga [73]

Answer: 4.45m/s

Explanation:

I assume we're solving for her speed.

400m x 4 laps = 1600m

1600m / 6 minutes = 266.67m/min

(266.67m/min) x (1 minute/60 seconds) = 4.45m/s

266.67/60 = 4.45m/s

Many organisms on Earth exhibit similar ____________.
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Characteristics.

Explanation:

On Earth, there are many organisms that shared similar characteristics with other organisms in various ways. These similarities of the characteristics could result from similar habitat, common ancestor, similar function, genetics, and many other reasons.

The example of such shared characteristics are different kinds of birds that have wings and lay eggs, while mammals give birth to babies and many other traits and characteristics. On the basis of the traits and characteristics organisms shared they are grouped and classified.
