If the depth of water in a well is 10m, what is the pressure exerted by it the bottom of the well ? ( Use g = 10 m/s2)

Tasya [4]3 years ago

Answer:

The precise answer depends on the density and therefore the temperature of the water, but we can obtain a reasonable approximation by assuming that the density of the water is 1000 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Since the depth of the water in the well is 10 m, the volume of water directly above an area A of a square meters (m²) at the bottom of the well is 10×a m³.

Since the density of the water is 1,000 kg/m³, the mass of water directly above area A is (1,000 kg/m³) × (10×a m³) = (1000×10×a kg) = 10,000×a kg.

Since g = 9.8 m/s², the force of gravity acting on the water directly above area A is (9.8 m/s²) × (10,000×a kg) = 9.8×10,000×a N (newtons) = 98,000×a N.

So the pressure of water acting on area A is (98,000×a N)/(a m²) = (98,000×a)/a N/m² = 98,000 pascals (pa). And since A could be any given area at the bottom of the well, this is the pressure at any point at the bottom of the well.

So the pressure at the bottom of the well is 98,000 pascals (or 98,000/101,325 standard atmospheres = 560/579 atmospheres ~ 0.967 standard atmospheres).

Which of the following statements is true about magnetic fields.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:  

The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from strong electrical currents coming from the sun

Explanation:

The Earth's magnetic field called the “magnetosphere” – protects our atmosphere from the “solar wind.” That's the constant stream of charged particles flowing outward from the sun. When the magnetosphere shields the Earth from these solar particles, they get funneled toward the polar regions of our atmosphere.

The Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that  protects  the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. One stripping mechanism  is  for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field, which are ripped off by solar winds.

A device for acclimating military pilots to the high accelerations they must experience consists of a horizontal beam that rotat
Natali [406]

centripetal acceleration is given by formula

a_c = \omega^2*R

given that

a_c = 34.1 m/s^2

R  =  5.91 m

now we have

\omega^2 R = 34.1

\omega^2 * 5.91 = 34.1

\omega^2 = 5.77

\omega = 2.4 rad/s

so the ratationa frequency is given by

\omega = 2 \pi f

2.4 = 2 \pi f

f = \frac{2.4}{2\pi}

f = 0.38 Hz

Galileo's observational contributionsGalileo Galilei was the first scientist to perform experiments in order to test his ideas.

<h2>Answer: </h2><h2>- Jupiter has orbiting moons.</h2><h2>- The Sun has sunspots and rotates on its axis.</h2><h2>- The Moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.</h2><h2>- Venus goes through a full set of phases.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1609 Galileo built a telescope, with which he observed mountains and craters on the Moon, discovered Jupiter’s major satellites and the next year he published these discoveries in his book <em>The Sidereal Messenger</em>.

In addition, Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth. This is because <u>Venus presented its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.  </u>

<u />

On the other hand, <u>although Galileo was not the first to observe sunspots</u>, he gave the correct explanation of their existence, which supported the idea that planets revolve around the Sun.

These observations and discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.

If a closed series circuit has a voltage of 12 V and R1 = 4 Ω and R2 = 2 Ω, what is the current running through R1 and R2?
Phantasy [73]
Total resistance=R1+ R2= 6Ω
Voltage=12v
Current =\frac{voltage}{resistance}
Current= 2A
In a series circuit, equal current passes through every resistance.
Answer is option A
