A glass tube in the shape of a letter J has the shorter limb sealed and the longer limb open. Mercury is poured into the tube until the levels in either limb is the same when the tube is vertical.In this position, the length of the air column in the sealed limb is 6.3cm.More mercury is then poured into the tube until the length of the trapped air column is 42cm.Calculate the difference in the levels of mercury in the limbs if a nearby mercury barometer reads 75.0cm and the reading of a nearby thermometer has not changed?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

35.4 cm

Explanation:

We have that when the level of mercury on either limb is the same, the pressure of the trapped air, P₁ = Atmospheric pressure

Also the initial height of the mercury in the tube = The reading of the barometer = 75.0 cm

The initial length of the air column, l₁ = 6.3 cm

The final length of the air column, l₂ = 4.2 cm (The length is expected to decrease due to compression)

The volume, V = l × A

Where;

A = The cross sectional area of the tube

Therefore, the volume of the air column is directly proportional to the length of the air column

∴ V ∝ l

According to Boyles law, we have;

P₁·V₁ = P₂·V₂

Where;

P₁ = The initial pressure in the air column before more mercury is added

V₁ = The initial volume occupied by the air in the air column

P₂, and V₂ are the final pressure and volume of the air column respectively

Given that V = l·A, we can write;

P₁·l₁·A = P₂·l₂·A

P₂ = P₁·l₁·A/(l₂·A) = P₁·l₁/(l₂) = P₁ × 6.3/4.2 = 1.5·P₁

The pressure in the air column after more mercury is added, P₂ = 1.5 × P₁

P₁ = Atmospheric pressure, therefore;

The pressure in the air column after more mercury is added, P₂ = 1.5 × Atmospheric pressure

Pressure = h·ρ·g

Where;

ρ = The density of the substance

g = The acceleration due to gravity

h = The height of the column of the fluid

Given that the density and the gravitational force, can be taken as constant, we have that the pressure of the fluid is directly proportional to the height of the fluid column

Therefore, when the pressure doubles, the height of the fluid column doubles, and when the factor of increase is 1.5, we have;

The final level of the mercury, h₂ = 1.5·h₁ = 1.5×75 cm = 112.5 cm

The initial length of the closed end of the J tube, [tex]h_{closed1}[/tex] = 6.3 cm + 75 cm = 81.3 cm

The final length of the mercury in the closed end, [tex]h_{closed2}[/tex] = 81.3 cm - 4.2 cm = 77.1 cm

The difference in the level of mercury, Δh = h₂ - [tex]h_{closed2}[/tex]

∴ Δh = 112.5 cm - 77.1 cm = 35.4 cm

The difference in the levels of mercury in the limbs, Δh = 35.4 cm

In a whispering gallery, a person standing at one focus of the ellipse can whisper and be heard by another person standing at the other focus, because all sound waves that reach the ceiling from one focus are reflected to the other focus. A hall 120 feet in length is to be designed as a whispering gallery. Of foci are located 40 feet from the center, how high will the ceiling be at the center

Answers

Answer:

Hence, the height of the ceiling at the center is 44.72 feet.

Explanation:

Consider that a whispering gallery has a length of 120 feet, and the foci are located 40 feet from the center.

Assume that the shape is a horizontal semi-ellipse with a center (0,0) and has the equation,

A student places a block on a table and hangs one mass from the block. The student lets the block go and observes the block accelerate toward the end of the table where the mass was located. The student then places the block on the table and hangs a second, larger mass from the opposite end of the block. The block accelerates in the opposite direction from the first trial. What does this experiment demonstrate? Answer:​

Answers

Magnitude of acceleration

Explanation:

We know that acceleration can increase depending in the force applied on an object, any object with a greater mass will apply a greater force. F = M(a).

This Newton's second law establishes a relationship between the summary of the external force and the acceleration of the body,  It is demonstrated with the change in the direction and magnitude of the acceleration in the experiment

Newton's second law establishes a relationship between the net force and the acceleration, according to the expression

          ∑ F = m a

where ∑F is the sum of the external forces, m the mass and the acceleration of the body

In this case we have an initial situation, the block and a baking mass, therefore an acceleration is created towards the hanging mass given by

           W₁ = M₁ g

            F = ma

          M₁ g = m a

          a = [tex]\frac{M_1}{m} \ g[/tex]

where W₁ and M₁ are the weight and the masses of the mass of the body hanging under the acceleration of gravity.

In the second case, perhaps you have two masses, one on each side,

         ∑ F = W₁ -W₂

          ∑F = (M₁ -M₂) g

let's use Newton's second law

          (M₁ -M₂ ) g = m a

           a = [tex]\frac{M_1 - M_2}{m} \ g[/tex]

We can see that in the second case the acceleration depends on the difference of the hanging masses. This is a proof of Newton's second law where the effect on acceleration is due to the sum of all external forces and not of each force individually.

In conclusion with the realization of this experiment  demostrate the valid true of Newton's second law

Gas to liquid with explanation on the basis of kinetic model and condensation point.​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1)Melting:

Melting is the process by which a substance changes from the solid phase to the liquid phase. ... Melting occurs when the internal energy of a solid increases, usually through the application of heat or pressure, such that the molecules become less ordered.

2) liquefication:

In physics and chemistry, the phase transitions from solid and gas to liquid (melting and condensation, respectively) may be referred to as liquefaction. The melting point (sometimes called liquefaction point) is the temperature and pressure at which a solid becomes a liquid.

3) vaporization:

Vaporization, conversion of a substance from the liquid or solid phase into the gaseous (vapour) phase. If conditions allow the formation of vapour bubbles within a liquid, the vaporization process is called boiling. Direct conversion from solid to vapour is called sublimation.

4) Sublimation occurs as molecules of a substance in the solid state go to the vapor state directly, rather than through the liquid state. ... ⭕In terms of the kinetic molecular theory, we know that molecules are in constant random motion, even when the substance is below the melting point.

Do you believe in aliens? And if so, what's your reasoning for believing in them?

I believe in aliens but I do not think everyone should. I started to believe in aliens since the US government said they would be taking extraterrestrial life seriously. They will be in our lives sooner or later, so we shouldn't be ignoring their presence. I believe them because surveys show that nearly half of Americans believe that aliens have visited the Earth, either in the ancient past or recently. That percentage has been increasing. Belief in alien visitation is greater than belief that Bigfoot is a real creature, but less than belief that places can be haunted by spirits. Also there have been a lot of UFO sightings, and a Navy Jet has a video of that as well. These small things is just hard to ignore, and they make me and hopefully others believe in aliens.

Explanation:

(4)

From the diagram,

A = 3+6+2

A = 11 A

V = A₂R

A₂ = V/R₂............ Equation 1

Given: V = 12 V,  R₂ = 4 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 1

A₂ = 12/4

A₂ = 3 A

(5) Applying,

V = IR'

I = V/R'............ Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = cuurent, R' = total resistance.

But,

1/R' = (1/3)+(1/4)

1/R' = (3+4)/12

1/R' = 7/12

R' = 12/7 Ω

Given: V = 12 V

Substitute these values into equation 1

I = 12/(12/7)

I = 7 A

Therefore

A = 7 A

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 12.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field strength between them, if the potential 5.6 cm from the zero volt plate is 450 V

Answers

Answer:

-8.036 kV/m

Explanation:

The electric field E = -ΔV/Δx where ΔV = change in electric potential = V - V' where V = electric potential at x = 5.6 cm =  450 V and V' = electric potential at x = 0 cm, = 0 V . So, ΔV = V - V' = 450 V - 0 V = 450 V.

Δx = distance between the 0 V plate and the 450 V point = 5.6 cm = 0.056 m

So, E = -ΔV/Δx

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

E = -ΔV/Δx

E = -450 V/0.056 m

E = -8035.7 V/m

E = -8.0357 kV/m

E ≅ -8.036 kV/m

Since the electric field between two parallel conducting plates is constant, the electric field between the plates is E = -8.036 kV/m

A squirrel jumps into the air with a velocity of 4 m/s at an angel of 50 degrees. What is the maximum height reached by the squirrel?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming the squirrel is jumping off the ground, here's what we know but don't really know...

v₀ = 4.0 at 50.0°

So that's not really the velocity we are looking for. We are dealing with a max height problem, which is a y-dimension thing. Therefore, we need the squirrel's upward velocity, which is NOT 4.0 m/s. We find it in the following way:

[tex]v_{0y}=4.0sin(50.0)[/tex] which gives us that the upward velocity is

v₀ = 3.1 m/s

Moving on here's what we also know:

a = -9.8 m/s/s and

v = 0

Remember that at the very top of the parabolic path, the final velocity is 0. In order to find the max height of the squirrel, we need to know how long it took him to get there. We are using 2 of our 3 one-dimensional equations in this problem. To find time:

v = v₀ + at and filling in:

0 = 3.1 - 9.8t and

-3.1 = -9.8t so

t = .32 seconds.

Now that we know how long it took him to get to the max height, we use that in our next one-dimensional equation:

Δx = [tex]v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex] and filling in:

Δx = [tex]3.1(.32)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(.32)^2[/tex] and using the rules for adding and subtracting sig fig's correctly, we can begin to simplify this:

Δx = .99 - .50 so

Δx = .49 meters
