4 0

The tool used to gauge atmospheric pressure is a barometer. Concerning the device used to gauge air pressure, we have been questioned.

  • Mercury is used in barometers. A reservoir of mercury is compressed by atmospheric pressure, and depending on the force of the air, the mercury is propelled up into the tube to a specific height. A straightforward barometer consists of a long glass tube that is filled with mercury and is closed at one end and open at the other. As most cases, the air pressure is expressed in mm Hg.
  • By delivering quick, precise information on a range of metrics, Radiometer's products and solutions aid in the diagnosis and treatment of critically ill hospital patients.
  • A hygrometer is a device that gauges the moisture content of soil, air, or restricted spaces. Measurements of other quantities, such as temperature, pressure, mass, or a mechanical or electrical change in a substance as moisture is absorbed, are typically used as the basis for humidity measurement systems.
  • Voltmeters are used to measure voltages, while thermometers measure temperature.

If a skier travels at a constant velocity downhill, this means the forces on her are: ................. A. Zero B. Negligible C.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

F = 0

Explanation:

The net force acting on an object is given by the product of mass and acceleration. We know that acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity.

Net force,

F = ma

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}

The skier is traveling at a constant velocity, it means there is no change in velocity i.e. acceleration is equal to 0. Hence, the force on her is 0.

What is the most significant change in the comet's energy as it moves from
svetoff [14.1K]

The most significant change in the comet's energy as it moves from point D to point A KE increases, GPE decreases.Option C is correct.

<h3>What are comets?</h3>

Comets are frozen leftovers from the formation of the solar system composed of dust, rock, and ice.

They range from a few miles to tens of miles wide, but as they orbit closer to the Sun, they heat up and spew gases and dust into a glowing head that can be larger than a plane.

As the comet transitions from point D to point A, the biggest energy shift is seen. GPE declines as KE rises. The right answer is C.

Hence option C is correct.

Along a horizontal snow-covered track, a sled, of mass m = 105 kg, slides by the action of a horizontal force of 230 N. The coef
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

The only thing I can figure you need here is the accleration of the sled. The equation we need to find this is Newton's Second Law that says that sum of the forces acting on an object is equal to the object's mass times its acceleration. For us, that looks like this because of the friction working against the sled:

F - f = ma but of course it's much more involved than that simple equation! We have the F value as 230 N, and we have the mass as 105, but we do not have the frictional force, f, and we need it to solve for a in the above equation. We know that

f = μF_n where μ is the coefficient of friction, and F_n is the normal force, aka weight of the object. We will use the coefficient of friction and find the weight in order to fill in for f:

F_n=mg so

F_n=(105)(9.8) so the weight of the sled is

F_n= 1.0 × 10³ with the correct number of sig dig there. Now to find f:

f = (.025)(1.0 × 10³) so

f = 25 to the correct number of sig fig. Now on to our "real" equation:

F - f = ma and

230 - 25 = 105a. We have to do the subtraction first, round, and then divide since the rules for addition and subtraction are different from the rules for dividing and multiplying.

230 - 25 will round to the tens place giving us 210. Then

210 = 105a. 210 has 2 sig figs in it while 105 has 3, so we will divide and round to 2 sig fig:

a = 2.0 m/sec²

A piece of nickel at 25 °C is dropped into a glass of water at 25 °C. Which statement is correct?
Makovka662 [10]
The answer is C the temp of water in both beakers will decrease since the metal is flowing heat into the water. Therefore we can say the metal losses heat and the water gains the heat lost by the metal minus any heat loss to surroundings! Hope this explanation helps you understand the concept! Please rate if I helped you! Thank you so much!
