So you've got a bunch of multiple choice questions here.
00:05
Often what's really useful when solving multiple choice questions is to identify key words or phrases and then look up those words or phrases in your textbook, in your notes, or online to help you try and solve the problem.
00:22
So as we move into problem one under normal atmospheric pressure on earth, we're given a bunch of different options and they're all very different.
00:32
And so i think that in order to do this, we want to go process of elimination thinking about each individual option.
00:41
So for a, it says the pressure on you is zero.
00:44
Atmospheric pressure is not equal to zero.
00:47
Atmospheric pressure is 101 ,000 pascales.
00:51
So a can't be the correct answer.
00:55
For b, it says going under 0 .76 meters of water in a pool will double the total amount of pressure on you.
01:04
So now you want to try and determine what would be the pressure under 0 .76 meters of water.
01:13
That's something you can look up or calculate easily, and you'll find that it is not equal to atmospheric pressure.
01:21
So, again, that one can't be correct.
01:25
See a total vacuum sucking on a tube in a pool of mercury will not be able to pull mercury more than 0 .76 meters up the tube.
01:36
If you search for like mercury, height of mercury in a tube with a vacuum or something along those lines, you will see that the maximum height for mercury is 0 .76 meters.
01:54
So c seems to be true, but because i didn't know that off the bat, i want to make sure to look at the other answer choices.
02:03
So for d, air has approximately the same density as it does at the top of the atmosphere.
02:08
That is just not true.
02:10
The density of the atmosphere decreases as you move up.
02:15
And then e, the pressure on you is equal to the force of gravity.
02:21
That is not true because atmospheric pressure at sea.
02:26
C level is the same or very similar.
02:31
Whereas if it were equal to the force of gravity, the force of gravity is different for every object, but the atmospheric pressure on me and by computer are the same right now.
02:43
So that is not true.
02:46
And then lastly, f, the force on you is equal to 9 .8 times the density of air.
02:54
That is also not true.
02:56
If you do a simple unit analysis to try and figure out what the units of that would be.
03:04
If you were to multiply g times the density of air, you end up with units that are not the units of force.
03:12
So that also is not correct.
03:13
So c is our answer here.
03:17
For problem two, a block of styrofoam and a block of lead both have the same volume.
03:23
Under what conditions will they experience the same buoyant force? so for this, buoyant force is the sort of important piece of information.
03:33
And if we look up the buoyant force, we'll see that the buoyant force is going to be equal to the density of the fluid times the volume displaced times g.
03:48
So if both are in order for them to experience the same buoyant force, g is going to always be the same, but you also want the displaced volume and the density of the fluid to be the same.
04:08
So if they're both submerged in the same fluid and they are completely submerged because we know their volumes are the same, that means the displaced volume would be the same.
04:22
And so a here is the best answer choice.
04:28
For problem three, we're asked if an acdc concert is at 120 decibels, and the intensity of the sound is one watt per square meter, what would be the intensity of the sound of a 140 decibel jet engine? so for this one, you want to think about the relationship between intensity of a sound and sound level in decibels.
05:03
And i see when i do that, that when you add 10 to the decibel levels, that's the same as multiplying by 10 on the intensity level.
05:22
So from 120 to 140, we've added 20.
05:28
And so that's the same as multiplying by 10 twice or multiplying by 100.
05:38
So f here is the best answer.
05:44
For problem four, we have person a pushing with 20 newtons of force on a door, person b pushing in the same direction.
05:54
We want to know how much force should be applied by person c in the opposite direction to keep it from rotating...
