Wittaler [7]2 years ago

The gauge water pressure at the base of the dam is about 2.17 × 10⁶ Pa

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Hydrostatic Pressure formula as follows:

\boxed{ P = \rho g h}

<em>where:</em>

<em>P = hydrosatic pressure ( Pa )</em>

<em>ρ = density of  fluid ( kg/m³ )</em>

<em>g = gravitational acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>h = height of a column of liquid ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

depth of the lake = h = 221 m

<u>Asked:</u>

gauge water pressure = P = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use </em><em>Hydrostatic Pressure</em><em> formula above to calculate the gauge water pressure at the base of the dam as follows</em>:

P = \rho g h

P = 1000 \texttt{ kg/m}^3 \times 9.8 \texttt{ m/s}^2 \times 221 \texttt{ m}

P = 2 165 800 \texttt{ kg/ms}^2

\boxed {P = 2.17 \times 10^6 \texttt{ Pa}} → <em>rounded to 3 significant figures</em>

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

The gauge water pressure at the base of the dam is about 2.17 × 10⁶ Pa

A boy on a bicycle approaches a brick wall as he sounds his horn at a frequency 400 hz. the sound he hears reflected back from t
Mashutka [201]
As the question is about changing in frequency of a wave for an observer who is moving relative to the wave source, the concept that should come to our minds is "Doppler's effect."

Now the general formula of the Doppler's effect is:
f = (\frac{g + v_{r}}{g + v_{s}})f_{o} -- (A)

Note: We do not need to worry about the signs, as everything is moving towards each other. If something/somebody were moving away, we would have the negative sign. However, in this problem it is not the issue.

Where,
g = Speed of sound = 340m/s.
v_{r} = Velocity of the receiver/observer relative to the medium = ?.
v_{s} = Velocity of the source with respect to medium = 0 m/s.
f_{o} =  Frequency emitted from source = 400 Hz.
f = Observed frequency = 408Hz.

Plug-in the above values in the equation (A), you would get:

408 = ( \frac{340 + v_{r}}{340 + 0})*400

\frac{408}{400} =  \frac{340 + v_{r}}{340}

Solving above would give you,
v_{r} = 6.8 m/s

The correct answer = 6.8m/s

Tammy leaves the office, drives 26 km due
fredd [130]

Answer:

72.98 km

Explanation:

Her displacement is simply the distance from her final position to her initial position.

Now, I've drawn and attached a triangle diagram to depict this her movement.

Point O is her initial starting point.

Point A is the first point she gets to after travelling north while point B is the final point after travelling north east.

From the triangle, the displacement will be the distance OB which is denoted by x and can be solved from cosine rule.

Thus;

x² = 62² + 26² - 2(62 × 26)cos 120

x² = 4520 + 806

x² = 5326

x = √5326

x = 72.98 km

Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco holds the world record in the 1500 m running race. He ran the final 400 m in a time of 51.9 s.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: His average speed in mph over the last 400 m is 7.7 m/s.

Explanation:

Given: Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco holds the world record in the 1500 m running race. He ran the final 400 m in a time of 51.9 s.

We know that , speed = \dfrac{distance}{time}

Here , distance = 400m and time = 51.9 s

Then, speed =  \dfrac{400}{51.9}\approx7.7\ m/s

Hence, his average speed in mph over the last 400 m is 7.7 m/s.

Students use a stretched elastic band to launch carts of known mass horizontally on a track. The elastic bands exert a force F,
rodikova [14]

Answer:

the correct answer is  E

A graph of the cart's maximum speed squared as a function of x^3

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

        F = m a

force has the form

        F = k x²

and acceleration is related to velocity

        a = dv / dt

Let's use the chain rule or L'Hospital

        a = dv /dx   dx/dt

        a = dv /dx    v

let's substitute

     k x² = m v dv / dx

     k /m x² dx = v dv

we integrate

     k /m    x³ /3 = v² / 2

     v² = (2k /3m)   x³

This is the expression for the variation of the speed as a function of the position, to make a linear graph realism the changes of variable

      y = v²

     x´ = x³

       y = (2k/3m)  x´

if we graph y vs x 'we have a linear graph whose slope is

      m = 2k / 3m

By reviewing the different answers, the correct answer is  E

A 13-cm-diameter cd has a mass of 25 g . part a what is the cd's moment of inertia for rotation about a perpendicular axis throu
faltersainse [42]
<span>Answer: For a disc, the moment of inertia about the perpendicular axis through the center is given by 0.5MR^2. where M is the mass of the disc and R is the radius of the disc. For the axis through the edge, use parallel axis theorem. I = I(axis through center of mass) + M(distance between the axes)^2 = 0.5MR^2 + MR^2 (since the axis through center of mass is the axis through the center) = 1.5 MR^2</span>
