Answer:

ρ = 830.32 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given that

Oil head = 12.2 m

h= 12.2 m

Pressure P = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

Lets take density of the liquid =ρ

The pressure due to liquid P given as

P = ρ g h

Now by putting the all values in the above equation

1.013 x 10⁵ Pa = ρ x 10 x 12.2                 ( take g =10 m/s²)

ρ = 830.32 kg/m³

Therefore the density of oil is 830.32  kg/m³

The three point charges +4.0 μC, -5.0 μC, and -9.0 μC are placed on the x-axis at the points x = 0 cm, x = 40 cm, and x = 120 cm
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

 

Explanation:

4μC will attract -9μC towards the centre and -5μC will repel it away from the centre.  Both these forces are opposite to each other.

Force due to 4μC on -9μC towards the centre

= k x Q₁ Q₂/R² = 9 X 10⁹ X 4 X 10⁻⁶ X 9 X 10⁻⁶ / (1.2)² = 225 X 10⁻³ N/C

Force due to -5μC on -9μC  away from the centre

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁶x 9 x 10⁻⁶/( 0.8)² = 632.8 x 10⁻³ .N/C

Ner field =407.8 N/C.

A child is riding a bike at a speed of 6m/s with a total kinetic energy of 1224J. If the mass of the child is 30kg, what is the
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

 Mass of bike = 38 kg.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given by the expression, KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

Here speed of child riding bike = 6 m/s

Mass of child = 30 kg

Total kinetic energy = 1224 J

Let the mass of bike be, m kg

So, total mass of child and bike = (m + 30) kg

Substituting,

  1224 = \frac{1}{2}* (m+30)*6^2\\ \\ m+30=68\\ \\ m=38kg

So, mass of bike = 38 kg.

The distance of the earth from the sun is 93 000 000 miles. if there are 3.15 × 107 s in one year, find the speed of the earth i
faltersainse [42]

The angular velocity of the orbit about the sun is:

w = 1 rev / year = 1 rev / 3.15 × 10^7 s

 

Now in 1 rev there is 360° or 2π rad, therefore:

w = 2π rad / 3.15 × 10^7 s

 

To convert in linear velocity, multiply the rad /s by the radius:

v = (2π rad / 3.15 × 10^7 s) * 93,000,000 miles

<span>v = 18.55 miles / s = 29.85 km / s</span>
