27
Absolute pressure
P=P0+ pgauge
Po is not always 1 atm, it depends on the system
Pgauge= P-Patm = ( Po+pgz) - Patm
when Po=Patm
that is only when Pgauge = pgz
28

Pgauge= P-Patm = ( Po+pgz) - Patm
when Po=Patm
that is only when Pgauge = pgz

the specific gravity will indicate how much of the object is submerged
example if the specific gravity is 0.92 that means 92 % of the object is submerged under the water.

this is a constant for a closed system and is independent of changes in a cross sectional area
34
Efficency definition

= ( Load * Load distance)/(Effort*effort distance)
Example - a pulley needs to be raised 3 meters who has a 10 N load there are 2 pulleys. the machine is 50 percent efficient.
effort distance - 2 pulleys * 3 = 6 m
solve for effort!
0.5 = ( 10*3)/( efffort * 6)

How do beta and gamma radiation differ?
Gamma radiation - high energy photon lacking charge
beta radiation = electron
electron will get deflected by a magnetic/electric field because it is charged.
Gamma radiation - uncharged therefore no deflection with the magnetic / electric field.

N=c/v
n1 sin theta 1 = n2sin theta 2
when going from low index of refraction to high index of refraction the light ray bends towards the normal when entering the glass.
think about a higher index of refraction as a more viscous substance. N2>n1 therefore theta 2 < theta 1
When going from high index of refraction to low index of refraction, bend away from the normal. n2< n1 and theta 2 > theta 1.

if something is rotational equilibrium, does it have a torque?
NO it does not have a torque.
77
all machines ( ideal or nonideal ) decrease the amount of force is done on the machine BUT
If it is an ideal machine, the amount of work is conserved therefore the same,
If it is an non-ideal machine, the amount of work is not conserved therefore it would require more.
78

If a brick is floating on top of the sterofoam, the volume of water is displaced will be equilvalent to the mass of the brick. because the brick is much heavier/more dense , more water will be displaced .
Yet if the brick sinks, only the volume of the brick will displace the water therefore the water level will decrease once the sterofoam is removed.

in an ideal fluid, velocity through a cross section is contstant
in a real fluid, the velocity through the cross section varies, fastest trhough the center and slower towards teh edges
83

Capillary action - water being puled upward there defying gravity
The intermoleculr forces betwen water molecules are weaker than the intermolecular forces between water and soil
85
Surface tension - intensity of the intermolecular forces fluid per unit length
a water droplet with stronger intermolecular forces have a greater surface tension which will cause it to bead up more
intermolecular forces pull inward

which means there is a loss in intensity
frequency is determined by the source --> therefore it can not change.
as intensity decreases, amptitude decreases and wave velocity decreases.

Although it is true that the intensity wil decrease with increasing distance, the ears are not so far apart that the intensities will be different.

When light travels from one medium to another, light bends. if n is similar, light bends less and therefore it will decrease in magnifying.
