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).

An infinite line of charge with linear density λ1 = 6 μC/m is positioned along the axis of a thick insulating shell of inner rad
Anna11 [10]

Answer: λ2= 2.34 * 10^-6 C/m

Explanation: In order to calculate the value of the  linear charge density of the insulating shell we have to multiply ρ* Volume of the hollow cylinder, so

Volume of cylinder:2*π*b*L *(b-a)  where (b-a) is the thickness, then

λ2=Q/L = 634 *10^-6 C/m^3* 2*π*0.042 m*(0.042-0.26)== 2.34 μ C/m

Will kilogram of hydrogen contains more atoms than kilogram of lead?
Zigmanuir [339]
Yes a kg of hydrogen will have more atoms than a kg of lead, because lead has a higher atomic mass, than hydrogen so it will take more atoms of hydrogen to make a kg than lead

Two students, Student X and Student Y, stand on a long skateboard that is at rest on a flat, horizontal surface, as shown. In or
OleMash [197]

Answer:

the answer is B.

Explanation:

The claim is correct because Student Y can apply a force that is greater in magnitude than the frictional forces that are exerted on the student-student-skateboard system
