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)

Physics

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).

For a series circuit what is the terminal voltage of a battery or power supply equal to in terms of the potential difference or
trapecia [35]

Answer: V=IR

Explanation: for a series circuit connected to a battery supply, the total emf across the circuit is given as

E = I(R + r) and by expanding, we have that E =IR + It

Where r is the internal resistance of the battery

I is the total current flowing in the circuit

R total load resistance in the circuit.

E is the total emf of the circuit.

The total emf is the sum of 2 separate voltages.

"IR" which is the terminal voltage and "Ir" which is the loss voltage.

The teenila voltage is the voltage flowing in the circuit based on the equivalent resistance of the circuit while the loss voltage is the wasted voltage based on the internal resistance of the battery source.

An open train car moves with speed 18.5 m/s on a flat frictionless railroad track, with no engine pulling the car. It begins to
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The speed decreases.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the conservation of linear momentum.

Since there is no friction, the initial moment of the train must be equal to its linear moment after it is filled with water.

the initial linear momentum is

m_{1}v_{1}

where m_{1} is the initial mass of the train, and v_{1} the initial speed of the train.

And linear momentum after the water filled the train car is

m_{2}v_{2}

where m_{2} is mass of the train after the  rain, and v_{2} the speed of the train after the rain

<u>the equality must be fulfilled:</u>

m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

We know that if water is added to the train, m_{2} that is the mass after the water is added, is greater than m_{1} which is the mass of the train without the water.

Therefore, in order for the conservation of the linear momentum to be fulfilled: m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

the speed after the water is added (v_{2} ) must be smaller than the initial train speed (v_{1} ) . So the speed of the car decreases.

A storm is moving at 15 km/hr what to do to determine its velocity
WINSTONCH [101]
Check the current weather map for 2 different times, and see where the center of the storm is. That tells you what direction it's moving. With its speed and direction, you have its velocity.
