Hippos spend much of their lives in water, but amazingly, they don’t swim. manatees, They have, like little very body fat. The d

ensity of a hippo’s body is approxi-mately 1030 kg/m3, so it sinks to the bottom of the freshwater lakes and rivers it frequents—and then it simply walks on the bottom. A 1500 kg hippo is completely submerged, standing on the bottom of a lake. What is the approximate value of the upward normal force on the hippo?

Answer:

428.59 N

Explanation:

Buoyant force, B=Vg\rho where V is volume, g is gravitational constant and \rho is density

B+F_{upward}=mg where F_{upward} is upward force

Vg\rho_{w}+F_{upward}=mg

F_{upward}=mg- Vg\rho_{w}

F_{upward}=g(mg- V\rho_{w})=g(m-m\frac {\rho_{w}{\rho_{hippo}} where \rho_{hippo} is the density of hippo

F_{upward}=mg(1-\frac {\rho_{w}}{\rho_{hippo}})

Using g as 9.81

F_{upward}=1500*9.81*(1-1000/1030)= 428.5922 N

Therefore, the upward force=428.59 N

The constant pressure molar heat capacity, C_{p,m}C p,m ​ , of nitrogen gas, N_2N 2 ​ , is 29.125\text{ J K}^{-1}\text{ mol}^{-1
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Constant pressure molar heat capacity Cp = 29.125 J /K.mol

If Cv be constant volume molar heat capacity

Cp - Cv = R

Cv = Cp - R

= 29.125 - 8.314 J

= 20.811 J

change in internal energy = n x Cv x Δ T

n is number of moles , Cv is molar heat capacity at constant volume ,  Δ T is change in temperature

Putting the values

= 20 x 20.811 x 15

= 6243.3 J.

Which is NOT a "commonsense" psychological myth?
disa [49]

Answer:A. infants who listen to Mozart are smarter than those that don't.

Explanation: Common Sense is a sound practical judgement of the scheme of things, it can be easily understood as one thinks about life situation.

All other options such as MOST OLDER PEOPLE LIVE SAD AND SOLITARY LIVES ARE CORRECT AS THEY ARE KNOWN TO BE MORE LIKELY TO FALL SICK EASILY.

EATING "COMFORT FOOD" MAKES YOU FEEL HAPPIER IS KNOWN TO BE TRUE AND "COMMONSENSE"

UNLEASHING ANGER CAN MAKE YOU MORE AGGRESSIVE IS A "COMMONSENSE".

only the first option which says infants who listen to Mozart are smarter than those that don't listen to Mozart is not a "commonsense" psychological myth.

A particle in the first excited state of a one-dimensional infinite potential energy well (with U = 0 inside the well) has an en
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The energy of this particle in the ground state is E₁=1.5 eV.

Explanation:

The energy E_{n} of a particle of mass <em>m</em> in the <em>n</em>th energy state of an infinite square well potential with width <em>L </em>is:

                                                    E_{n}=\frac{n^{2}h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}

In the ground state (n=1). In the first excited state (n=2) we are told the energy is E₂= 6.0 eV. If we replace in the above equation we get that:

                                                    E_{1}=\frac{h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}            

                                                    E_{2}=\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}}

So we can rewrite the energy in the ground state as:

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}})

                                                      E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} E_{2}

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} ( 6.0\ eV)

Finally

                                                    E_{1}=1.5\ eV

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the crit
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Complete Question:

A beam of white light is incident on the surface of a diamond at an angle \theta_{a},  since the index of refraction depends on the light's wavelength, the different colors that comprise white light will spread out as they pass through the diamond. For example, the indices of refraction in diamond are n_{red} = 2.410 for red light and n_{blue} = 2.450 for blue light. Thus, blue light and red light are refracted at different angles inside the diamond. The surrounding air has n_{air} = 1.000.

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the critical angle θcrit, the light will not be refracted out into the air, but instead it will be totally internally reflected back into the diamond. Find θcrit. Express your answer in degrees to four significant figures.

Answer:

\theta_{crit} = 24.09^{0}

Explanation:

Only the blue refracted ray is related to the critical angle in this question

n_{air} = 1.000

n_{blue} = 2.450

The relationship between the critical angle(\theta_{crit}), n_{air} and n_{blue} can be given as sin \theta_{crit} = \frac{n_{air} }{n_{blue} }

sin \theta_{crit} = \frac{1 }{2.450 }\\\theta_{crit} = sin^{-1} \frac{1 }{2.450 }\\\theta_{crit} = sin^{-1} 0.4082^{0}\\  \theta_{crit} = 24.09^{0}

A fireboat is to fight fires at coastal areas by drawing seawater with a density of 1030 kg/m3 through a 10-cm-diameter pipe at
GaryK [48]

Answer:

50.93 m/s

199.5 kW

Explanation:

From the question, the nozzle exit diameter = 5 cm, Radius= diameter/2= 5cm/2= 2.5cm. we can convert it to metre for unit consistency= (2.5×0.01)=

0.025m

We can calculate the The cross sectional area of the nozzle as

A= πr^2

A= π ×0.025^2

= 1.9635 ×10^- ³ m²

From the question, the water is moving through the pipe at a rate of 0.1 m /s , then for the water to move through it at a seconds, it must move at

(0.1 / 1.9635 ×10^- ³ m²)

= 50.93 m/s

During the Operation of the pump, the Dynamic energy of the water= potential energy provided there is no loss during the Operation

mgh = 1/2mv²

We can make "h" subject of the formula, which is the height of required head of water

h = (1/2mv²)/mg

h= v² / 2g

h = 50.93² / (2 ×9.81)

h = 132.21m

From the question;

The total irreversible head loss of the system = 3 m,

the given position of nozzle = 3 m

the total head the pump needed=(The total irreversible head loss of the system + the position of the nozzle + required head of water )

=(3 + 3 + 132.21m)

=138.21m

mass of water pumped in a seconds can be calculated since we know that mass is a product of volume and density

Volume= 0.1m³

Density of sea water=1030 kg/m

(0.1 m^3× 1030)

= 103kg

We can calculate the Potential enegry, which is = mgh

= (103 ×9.81 × 138.21)

= 139651.5 Watts

= 139.65kW

To determine required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity

Energy= efficiency × power

But we are given efficiency of 70 percent, then

139651.5 Watts = 0.7P

=199502.18 Watts

P=199.5 kW

Therefore, the required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity is 199.5 kW
