Question
In a 30.0-s interval, 500 hailstones strike a glass window of area 0.600 m2 at an angle of 45.0° to the window surface. Each hailstone has a mass of 5.00 g and a speed of 8.00 m/s. Assuming the collisions are elastic, find (a) the average force and (b) the average pressure on the window during this interval.

- The drawing shows a hydsraulic chamber with a spring (string constant = 1250N/m) attached to the input piston and an object of 38 kg (resting on the output plunger). The piston and plunger are at the same height each having a negligible mass. By how much is the spring compressed from its unstrined position?arrow_forwardBacteria have a density that is about the same as water. Their average velocity is 10^-3 m/s. A bacterium with a radius of 1 um should have a diffusion coefficient of about 2.2x10^-13 m^2/s. (a) Find the random-walk step size (b) How long does it take for an average walk to reach 1 mm in seconds and days? Note that we are considering the diffusion away from the starting point and are calculating the distance through three dimensions.

- A Volkswagen with mass m = 8.00 x 102kg is at rest as shown in the figure. Both pistons have a circular cross-sectional area. The small piston has a diameter of d1 = 0.25 m and the large piston has a diameter d2 = 4.5 m. Determine the magnitude of the forceexercised on the small piston.arrow_forwardThree liquids that will not mix are poured into a cylindrical container. The volumes and densities of the liquids are 0.45 L, 2.6 g/cm³; 0.20 L, 1.0 g/cm³; and 0.40 L, 0.65 g/cm³. What is the force on the bottom of the container due to these liquids? One liter = 1 L = 1000 cm³. (Ignore the contribution due to the atmosphere.) Narrow_forwardA spring is attached to the bottom of an empty swimming pool, with the axis of the spring oriented vertically. An 25.0-kg hollow block of wood (p = 840 kg/m³) is fixed to the top of the spring and compresses it. Then the pool is filled with water, completely covering the block. The spring is now observed to be stretched twice as much as it had been compressed. Determine the percentage of the block's total volume that is hollow. Ignore any air in the hollow space.
