In a lecture demonstration, a professor pulls apart two hemispherical steel shells (diameter) with ease using their attached handles. She then places them together, pumps out the air to an absolute pressure of, and hands them to a bodybuilder in the back row to pull apart. (a) If atmospheric pressure is , how much force must the bodybuilder exert on each shell? (b) Evaluate your answer for the case, P=0.025atm,D=10.0cm

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)P0-PÏ€D24(a)

(b)776 N

Step by step solution

01

Given information:

P=0.025atm,D=10.0cm

02

Concept/Formula used:

F = PA

Where,

P Is pressure and

A Is s the cross-sectional area

03

Force exerted by bodybuilder

Fbb(a) Force exerted by bodybuilder must equal in magnitude the net force on each hemisphere due to the air inside and outside the sphere.

Fbb=ΔPA=p0−pπD24

(b)

Fbb=Δ±Ê´¡=1.013×105Pa/atm(0.975atm)Ï€10×10−224=776N

A Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?

How many years older will you be 1.00 gigasecond from now? (Assume a 365-day year.)

A lunar lander is makingits descent to Moon Base I (Fig. E2.40). The lander descendsslowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine iscut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downwardspeed of 0.8m/s . With the engine off, the lander is in freefall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface?The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6m/s2.

Starting from a pillar, you run 200 m east (the +x-direction) at an average speed of 5.0 m/s and then run 280 m west at an average speed of 4.0 m/s to a post. Calculate (a) your average speed from pillar to post and (b) youraverage velocity from pillar to post.

The mass of Venus is 81.5% that of the earth, and its radius is 94.9% that of the earth. (a) Compute the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Venus from these data. (b) If a rock weighs 75.0 N on earth, what would it weigh at the surface of Venus?
