rodikova [14]3 years ago
6 0

Pressure exerted by means of an Earth's atmosphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atmospheric pressure is also termed as barometric pressure, that is the pressure exist in the Earth's atmosphere, in other words it is the pressure wielded by the atmosphere's weight.

 1 atmosphere = 760 mm Hg

Atmospheric pressure could be measured using the equation,

Atmospheric pressure = Mercury's density × acceleration through gravity × the height of mercury column.

It can be measured or given in terms of Pa, torr. atm, psi, mm Hg and so on.

A converging lens brings rays of light together at a focal point. the bending of light rays is the result of
disa [49]
The bending of light rays is the result of refraction of light passing through the lens. A converging lens is curved on both sides such that the rays coming out of it come together at a point (converge). The point at which the right rays meet after refraction is called the focal point which is a real in the convex lens.

A small toy car travels 2.0 meters in 120 seconds. what is the speed of the car?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:\dfrac{1}{60} ms^{-1}

Explanation:

Speed of an object is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by the object to the time taken to cover that distance.

Let s be the speed of the object.

Let D be the distance travelled by the object.

Let t be the time taken by the object.

So,s=\frac{D}{t}

s=\frac{2}{120}=\frac{1}{60}ms^{-1}

So,the speed of the car is \frac{1}{60}ms^{-1}

List the 3 types of collisions that occur when your vehicle hits an object.
koban [17]

These collisions are: "a Vehicle Collision, a Human Collision, Internal Collision." A vehicle collision is a collision that involves two or more vehicles and is when the vehicles collide against each other creating a unbalanced force since how the force comes from opposite directions. A human collision would involve a vehicle and a human which would also be a unbalanced force but the human wouldn't have much affect of it's speed. A internal collision is when something happens inside the vehicle which decreases, or increases the vehicles speed.

Hope this helps!

How does the electric force vary with distance
wlad13 [49]
The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value.
