Hey there!

The pressure under a liquid column can be , calculated using  the following formula :

P = p x g x h  

P atm = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = ?

h =  P / ( p x g ) =

h= ( 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa ) / ( 900 x 9.8 ) =

h = ( 1.013 x 10⁵ ) / ( 8820 ) =

h = 11.48 m ≈  11.50 m

Hope this helps!

Ugo [173]

Answer:

a. 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa

b. 8.19 x 10 ⁻¹¹ atm

c. 1.65 x 10 ⁻¹⁰ atm

d. 2.778 x 10 ⁻¹⁴ kg / m²

Explanation:

Given:

a.

I = 2500 W / m² , us = 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m /s

P rad = I / us

P rad  = 2500 W / m² / 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m/s

P rad = 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa

b.

P rad = 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa *[  9.8 x 10 ⁻⁶ atm / 1 Pa ]

P rad = 8.19 x 10 ⁻¹¹ atm

c.

P rad = 2 * I / us = ( 2 * 2500 w / m²) / [ 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m /s ]

P rad = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁵ Pa

P₁ = 1.013 x 10 ⁵ Pa /atm

P rad = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁵ Pa / 1.013 x 10 ⁵ Pa /atm = 1.65 x 10 ⁻¹⁰ atm

d.

P rad  = I / us

ΔP / Δt = I / C² = [ 2500 w / m² ] / ( 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m/s)²

ΔP / Δt = 2.778 x 10 ⁻¹⁴ kg / m²

What is the y component of a vector defined as 12.2m at 81.5°?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a displacement vector since it is defined in terms of distance (meters, to be exact). The way you find the y-component is

V_y=Vsin\theta which says that you multiply the magnitude of the vector (its length) by the sin of the direction (the angle):

V_y=12.2sin(81.5) and get

V_y=12.1 m

A ship sends out a 1200 Hz sound wave, which has a wavelength of 120 cm in the water. What would happen if that ship sent out a
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

the wave length becomes doubled or becomes two times the initial wavelength = 240 cm

Explanation:

From wave,

v = λf................ Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the wave, λ = wavelength of the wave, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 1200 Hz, λ = 120 cm = 1.2 m

Substitute into equation 1

v = 1200(1.2)

v = 1440 m/s.

When the ship sent out a 600 Hz sound wave,

make λ the subject of formula in equation 1

λ = v/f............. Equation 2

Given: f = 600 Hz, v = 1440 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

λ = 1440/600

λ = 2.4 m or 240 cm.

When the ship sent out a 600 Hz sound wave instead, the wave length becomes doubled or becomes two times the initial wavelength = 240 cm
