Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

depth of the sea level = 10 m

g = 10 m/s²

Pressure underwater = ?

we know,

P = ρ g h

where ρ is the density of water which is equal to 1000 kg/m³

h is the depth of sea level

P = ρ g h

P = 1000 x 10 x 10

P = 100000 Pa

P = 100 kPa

Hence, the correct answer is option A

Match each label to the boundary it describes. convergent boundary new crust forms transform boundary crust submerges into the m

Paraphin [41]

The answers would be:

CONVERGENT boundary - Crust submerges into the mantle

TRANSFORM boundary - neither forms nor submerges

DIVERGENT boundary - new crust forms

If you'd like to know more about the different boundaries, read on:

Convergent boundaries occur when two plates move TOWARDS each other. The event where crust submerges into the mantle is called <em><u>subduction</u></em> and this occurs when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide. The oceanic plate is more dense and thinner than the continental plate, so it slides under it.

Transform boundaries occur when two plates slide against each other. They move slide side by side, so nothing is formed nor do they go under each other. Although, this type of boundaries create strong earthquakes.

Lastly, divergent boundaries occur when two plates move apart. The separation creates a way for magma to come up. New crust is formed when the magma that seeps out is cooled by its cooler surroundings. This is observed in the mid oceanic ridge.

Calculate the mass of the air contained in a room that measures 2.50 m x 5.50 m x 3.00 m if the density of air is 1.29 g/dm3.53.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

$5.32\cdot 10^4 g$

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the volume of the room, which is given by

$V=2.50 m \cdot 5.50 m \cdot 3.00 m =41.3 m^3$

Now we can find the mass of the air by using

$m=dV$

where

$d=1.29 g/dm^3$ is the density of the air

$V=41.3 m^3 = 41,300 dm^3$ is the volume of the room

Substituting,

$m=(1.29)(41300)=5.32\cdot 10^4 g$

(a) when rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 n of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylind

Vilka [71]

There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03

Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:
$F_f = \mu N$
where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:
$F=\mu N$
since we know that F=300 N and $\mu=0.3$ , we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:
$N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.3}=1000 N$

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is $\mu=0.03$ due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
$N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.03}=10000 N$

A ray of light passes from air into carbon disulfide (n = 1.63) at an angle of 28.0 degrees to the normal. what is the refracted

Snezhnost [94]

We can solve the problem by using Snell's law, which states
$n_i \sin \theta_i = n_r \sin \theta_r$
where
$n_i$ is the refractive index of the first medium
$\theta_i$ is the angle of incidence
$n_r$ is the refractive index of the second medium
$\theta_r$ is the angle of refraction

In our problem, $n_i=1.00$ (refractive index of air), $\theta_i = 28.0^{\circ}$ and $n_r=1.63$ (refractive index of carbon disulfide), therefore we can re-arrange the previous equation to calculate the angle of refraction:
$\sin \theta_r = \frac{n_i}{n_r} \sin \theta_r = \frac{1.00}{1.63} \sin 28.0^{\circ} = 0.288$
From which we find
$\theta_r = \arcsin (0.288)=16.7^{\circ}$

The escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with which an object of mass m must move to escape from the gravitational

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

v = √2G $M_{earth}$ / R

Explanation:

For this problem we use energy conservation, the energy initiated is potential and kinetic and the final energy is only potential (infinite r)

Eo = K + U = ½ m1 v² - G m1 m2 / r1

Ef = - G m1 m2 / r2

When the body is at a distance R> Re, for the furthest point (r2) let's call it Rinf

Eo = Ef

½ m1v² - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R = - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

v² = 2G $M_{earth}$ (1 / R - 1 / Rinf)

If we do Rinf = infinity 1 / Rinf = 0

v = √2G $M_{earth}$ / R

Ef = = - G m1 m2 / R

The mechanical energy is conserved

Em = -G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

Em = - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

R = int ⇒ Em = 0
