The pressure at the middle of the tank is given by the formula: pressure = (density of liquid) x (acceleration due to gravity) x (height of liquid column) Since the liquid fills the entire tank, the height of the liquid column is half the height of the tank, which is 2m. The density of the liquid is given as 1000kg/m³, and acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s². Therefore, the pressure at the middle of the tank is: pressure = 1000 kg/m³ x 10 m/s² x 2 m = 20,000 N/m² So the answer is: - 1.0 x 103Nm-2

Awọn alaye Idahun

To find the total electrical energy consumed by the electric cooker, we need to use the formula: Electrical Energy = Power x Time where Power is given in watts and Time is given in hours. In this case, the power rating of the electric cooker is 1000W and the time for which it is used is 5 hours. Therefore, Electrical Energy = 1000W x 5 hours = 5000 watt-hours However, we usually express electrical energy in joules. To convert watt-hours to joules, we need to multiply by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour) and by the electrical energy conversion factor (1 watt = 1 joule per second). Therefore, Electrical Energy = 5000 watt-hours x 3600 seconds/hour x 1 joule/second = 18,000,000 joules = 1.8 x 10^7 joules Therefore, the answer is: 1.8 x 10^7 J

Equal masses of copper and rubber are raised to the same temperature. After sometimes, the copper was observed to be at a lower temperature because

the specific heat capacity of copper is lower than that of rubber

copper expands more than rubber

the specific heat capacity of rubber is lower than that of copper

rubber expands more than copper

Awọn alaye Idahun

The correct answer is "the specific heat capacity of copper is lower than that of rubber." When two objects with the same mass are heated to the same temperature, they will absorb the same amount of heat energy. The specific heat capacity of a material is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of that material by one degree Celsius. Copper has a lower specific heat capacity than rubber, which means that it requires less heat energy to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius. As a result, when the same amount of heat energy is transferred to both copper and rubber, the temperature of copper will increase more quickly than that of rubber. Therefore, when both copper and rubber are raised to the same temperature and left for some time, the copper will cool down faster than the rubber, and its temperature will become lower.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The reason a piece of wire gauze can be made to lie on water is that the water surface has the effect of an elastic thin skin. This effect is due to the cohesive forces between the water molecules that cause them to stick together and form a surface tension. The wire gauze is able to rest on the water surface because it is not heavy enough to break the surface tension, allowing it to be supported by the surface of the water. Therefore, the correct option is "the water surface has the effect of an elastic thin skin".

We can solve this problem using the principle of mixtures. Let's assume that the masses of the cold and hot liquids are m1 and m2, respectively, and their specific heat capacities are the same. The temperature change of the cold liquid is (45-30)=15°C, and that of the hot liquid is (70-45)=25°C. Now, using the principle of mixtures, the total heat lost by the hot liquid = the total heat gained by the cold liquid, that is: m1*15 = m2*25 Simplifying the above equation, we get: m1/m2 = 25/15 = 5/3 Therefore, the ratio of the mass of the cold liquid to the mass of the other liquid is 5 : 3.

In this problem, two capacitors with capacitance 50 microFarads are connected in series. Using the formula above, we can calculate the total capacitance: 1/C_total = 1/C1 + 1/C2 1/C_total = 1/50 microF + 1/50 microF 1/C_total = 2/50 microF C_total = 25 microF Now, we can use the formula for capacitance to calculate the charge on each plate of the combined capacitor when it is connected to a 100-V battery: Q = C * V Q = 25 microF * 100 V Q = 2.5 x 10^-3 C Therefore, the charge on each plate of the combined capacitor is 2.5 x 10^-3 C.

Awọn alaye Idahun

In a purely inductive circuit, the current lags behind the voltage in phase by 90 degrees. This means that the maximum value of the current occurs after the maximum value of the voltage. In simpler terms, when the voltage is at its highest point, the current is still increasing and has not yet reached its highest point. This is because in an inductive circuit, the current is impeded by the inductor, which resists changes in current. As a result, the current takes some time to catch up to the voltage.

Awọn alaye Idahun

When an object is submerged in a fluid, it experiences an upward force called buoyant force or upthrust. The magnitude of this force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. In this problem, the cube has a volume of (0.1m)^3 = 0.001m^3. When the cube is immersed in water, it displaces an equal volume of water. Using the density of water, we can calculate the mass of the displaced water as: mass = density x volume = 1000kg/m^3 x 0.001m^3 = 1kg The weight of the displaced water is: weight = mass x gravitational acceleration = 1kg x 10m/s^2 = 10N Therefore, the upthrust on the cube is 10N.

its pressure decreases and the total momentum of its moleculees remains constant

its pressure decreses and the total kinetic energy of its molecule decreases

Awọn alaye Idahun

When a gas expands at constant temperature, its pressure decreases. This is due to the fact that the gas molecules now have more space to move around, and as a result, they collide with the walls of the container less frequently, causing the pressure to decrease. However, the total momentum of the gas molecules remains constant. This is because momentum is a conserved quantity, and the gas molecules only transfer their momentum to other molecules or to the walls of the container. Therefore, the total momentum of the gas remains the same, even though the individual molecules may have different speeds and directions. Option (C) is correct, as it correctly identifies both of these phenomena. Option (D) is incorrect, as the total kinetic energy of the gas molecules does not necessarily decrease when the gas expands at constant temperature. While individual molecules may lose kinetic energy due to collisions, others may gain kinetic energy due to the same collisions.

Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of stress to strain in a material under tensile load. In this problem, the load on the wire is 20N, the extension produced is 10^(-2)m and the cross-sectional area is 8 x 10^(-7) m^2. From the given information, we can calculate the stress in the wire using the formula: stress = load / area Therefore, stress = 20N / (8 x 10^(-7) m^2) = 2.5 x 10^7 N/m^2 We can also calculate the strain using the formula: strain = extension / original length Here, the extension is 10^(-2)m and the original length is 3m. Therefore, the strain is: strain = 10^(-2)m / 3m = 3.33 x 10^(-3) Now, we can use the definition of Young's modulus: Young's modulus = stress / strain Substituting the values we calculated above, we get: Young's modulus = (2.5 x 10^7 N/m^2) / (3.33 x 10^(-3)) = 7.5 x 10^10 N/m^2 Therefore, the answer is:

Given: mass of block, m = 5 kg angle of inclination, theta = 30 degrees acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s^2 We can first find the component of gravity acting down the plane: force due to gravity along the plane = m g sin(theta) where sin(theta) = sin(30 degrees) = 0.5 force due to gravity along the plane = 5 x 10 x 0.5 = 25 N Since there are no other forces acting on the block, the force along the plane is equal to the force causing the acceleration of the block down the plane. Using Newton's second law of motion, we can find the acceleration down the plane: force along the plane = m a where a is the acceleration down the plane. Substituting the values, we get: 25 N = 5 kg x a a = 25 / 5 = 5 m/s^2 Therefore, the acceleration down the plane is 5 m/s^2. Looking at the options given, we can see that the correct answer is the first option, 5.0 ms^-2.

The potential difference between X and Y in an electrical circuit is given by the equation: V = W/Q where V is the potential difference, W is the work done, and Q is the charge. From the question, we know that W = 8 x 10^-2 J and Q = 100 x 10^-6 C. Substituting these values into the equation, we have: V = (8 x 10^-2)/(100 x 10^-6) = 8 x 10^2 V Therefore, the potential difference between X and Y in the electrical circuit is 8.0 x 10^2 V. Option C is the correct answer.

The question is asking about the index of refraction of a material that is being hit by light. The speed of light changes when it passes through a material, which is described by the index of refraction. The question gives the velocity of light in a vacuum and in the material, so we can use the equation n = c/v, where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material, to find the index of refraction. Plugging in the given values, we get n = 3 x 10^8 m/s / (2.4 x 10^8 m/s) = 1.25. Therefore, the correct answer is.
