    Calculate Pressure Underwater for a 1cm3 Air Bubble at 291m

    I don't have cross-sectional area. How else can I go about getting the pressure... between surface and the depth given? I assume the initial pressure goes something along the lines of 9.81x291 (g*h).

    Calculate Pressure Underwater for a 1cm3 Air Bubble at 291m

    I guess my real question is: does the depth of the water make any difference or do i assume it's constant pressure? If i can't make that assumption, how do i calculate the pressure the water has on this? The obvious answer is that if it's to the nearest tenth of a cm3, it's still coming out...

    Force Exerted by Individual Molecules

    I have absolutely no idea how to do this question. I've tried several different ways.. tried using the equation: P = (1/3)*(N/V)*2*((3/2)kT) Then using the idea that: P = F/A No luck. I think I'm doing things wrong. Does this have something to do with internal energy? (U = (3/2)nRT)

    How Does Temperature Affect Net Power Emission Ratios?

    Two identical objects are placed in a room at 26°C. Object 1 has a temperature of 81°C and object 2 has a temperature of 35°C. What is the ratio of the net power emitted by object 1 to that radiated by object 2? Answer is supposed to be (power emitted by 1 / power emitted by 2) I've tried...

    Projectile Launch - Earth's Radius

    The answer that the book gives for the question: What is the launch speed of a projectile that rises above the Earth to an altitude equal to the Earth's radius? Ans. 7.91 km/s Now I have the question: What is the launch speed of a projectile that rises above the Earth to an altitude equal...

    What is the angular velocity of the disk

    Here's a site I found with the same problem. You can view the correct answers and try to work to it, but I still haven't figured out the proper equation yet. http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/objects/1088/1114211/ch8/Chapter_8.html

    What is the angular velocity of the disk

    Yeah.. that equation isn't working for me. Why (L-1), btw? And mass of the ball.. are you dividing the N value by 9.81 or did you mean the force of the ball (in N)?

    What is the angular velocity of the disk

    So I've been using: \alpha=\tau/I More specifically: \alpha=(r*F)/(.5mr^2) I know I'm getting the acceleration just fine. I've then been using: \omega^2 = 2\alpha\Delta\Theta I know the problem is coming in here. Probably in conversion of units (rad/s^2) to (rev/s^2) or something...

    Finding the Mass of a Suspended Necklace Using the Center of Mass Method

    Been trying this one using: x1m1 = x2m2 I guess I just maybe am not using the right mass or length for center of mass.. Here's the question: A 0.19 kg meter stick balances at its center. If a necklace is suspended from one end of the stick, the balance point moves 16.3 cm toward that...
