Why are water storage tanks usually built on towers or hilltops??

1 answer:

8 0

Because when you open the faucet, you want the water to
rush out with pressure, not just dribble or ooze out. The
water has to be supplied to the user with pressure. Either
you supply it from a height, or else you'll need to use pumps
to make the pressure.

On the sonometer shown below, a horizontal cord of length 5 m has a mass of 1.45 g. When the cord was plucked the wave produced

Korolek [52]

Answer:

(a) T = 0.015 N

(b) M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g

Explanation:

(a) T = 0.015 N

First, we will find the speed of waves:

$v =f\lambda$

where,

v = speed of wave = ?

f = frequency = 120 Hz

λ = wavelength = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Therefore,

v = (120 Hz)(0.06 m)

v = 7.2 m/s

Now, we will find the linear mass density of the coil:

$\mu = \frac{m}{l}$

where,

μ = linear mass density = ?

m = mass = 1.45 g = 1.45 x 10⁻³ kg

l = length = 5 m

Thereforre,

$\mu = \frac{1.45\ x\ 10^{-3}\ kg}{5\ m}\\\\\mu = 2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m$

Now, for the tension we use the formula:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}\\\\7.2\ m/s = \sqrt{\frac{T}{2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m}}\\\\(51.84\ m^2/s^2)(2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m) = T$

T = 0.015 N

(b)

The mass to be hung is:

$T = Mg\\\\M = \frac{T}{g}\\\\M = \frac{0.015\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\$

M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g

Answer:

I believe the answer to be B

Explanation:

If you were playing on grass, the ball would be able to roll around much easier rather than it to be on sand. If it's wrong I am so sorry

How do force affect the acceleration of a body?

Arada [10]

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
