The average force of the water droplets is the force given by the impact

per second of the droplets on the limestone floor.

  • The average force exerted on the limestone floor is approximately <u>1.6013 × 10⁻² N</u>

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Volume of a droplet = 10 ml = 1 × 10⁻⁵ m³

Height from which the water falls, <em>h </em>= 5 meters

Rate at which the water falls = 10 per minute

Required:

The average force exerted on the floor by the water droplets.

Solution:

According to Newton's Second Law of motion, we have;

Force = Rate of change of momentum

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

Mass of a droplet of water = Volume × Density

Density of water = 997 kg/m³

Mass of a droplet = 1 × 10⁻⁵ m³ × 997 kg/m³ = 0.00997 kg

The velocity just before the droplet reaches the ground, v = √(2·g·h)

Where;

g = Acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

Which gives;

v = √(2 × 9.81 m/s² × 5 m) ≈ 9.905 m/s

The rate of change in momentum per minute = 1

Therefore;

\displaystyle The \ rate \ of \ change \ in \ momentum = Average \ force = \mathbf{\frac{\Delta Momentum }{\Delta Time}}

ΔMomentum = Mass × ΔVelocity

Considering the 10 drops per minute, we have;

ΔMomentum = 10 × 0.0097 kg × 9.905 m/s = 0.960785 kg·m/s

ΔTime = 1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore;

\displaystyle Average \ force, \, F_{ave}  \frac{0.960785 \, kg\cdot m/s }{60 \, s} \approx =\mathbf{1.6013 \times 10^{-2} \, N}

  • The average force exerted on the limestone floor by the droplets of water is F_{ave} ≈ <u>1.6013 × 10⁻² N</u>

Balanced forces can change an<br> object's direction.<br> A. True<br> B. False
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Balanced forces result in a net force of 0N. This means no direction or acceleration change will be applied to the object. A torque may be applied, but with no other external forces, the object will not move.

A 7.94-nC charge is located 1.77 m from a 4.14-nC point charge. (a) Find the magnitude of the electrostatic force that one charg
STatiana [176]

Answer:

F=94.32*10⁻⁹N  , The force F is repusilve because both charges have the same sign (+)

Explanation:

Two point charges (q₁, q₂) separated by a distance (d) exert a mutual force (F) whose magnitude is determined by the following formula:  

F=K*q₁*q₂/d² Formula (1)  

F: Electric force in Newtons (N)

K : Coulomb constant in N*m²/C²

q₁,q₂:Charges in Coulombs (C)  

d: distance between the charges in meters(m)

Equivalence  

1nC= 10⁻⁹C

Data

K=8.99x10⁹N*m²/C²

q₁ = 7.94-nC= 7.94*10⁻⁹C

q₂= 4.14-nC=  4.14 *10⁻⁹C

d= 1.77 m

Magnitude of the electrostatic force that one charge exerts on the other

We apply formula (1):

F=8.99x10^{9} *\frac{7.94*10^{-9} *4.14 *10^{-9} }{1.77^{2} }

F=94.32*10⁻⁹N  , The force F is repusilve because both charges have the same sign (+)

A volcano erupted on an island. The entire plant community was destroyed and the island was covered with grey ash. Slowly, liche
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

There are several kinds of plants who grow and thrive near volcanic locations. For example coffee, grape vines, moss and the rare Hawaiian argyroxiphium, or "silversword." These plants grow and survive using the nutrients from the ashes of the volcanic eruptions along with cooled lava.

Mosses and Lichens form a protective layer over the land which helps it to retain water inside it, rather than drying out which is the case in volcanic sites. Therefore, the retained water helps the land to form and become appropriate for other plants to grow as well.
