A U-shaped tube, open to the air on both ends, contains mercury. Water is poured into the left arm until the water column is 10.

Answer:

0.368 cm

Explanation:

x = distance by which the mercury rise

d = depth of the water = 10 cm = 0.10 m

ρ = density of water = 1000 kgm⁻³

ρ' = density of mercury = 13600 kgm⁻³

P₀ = atmospheric pressure

Using equilibrium of pressure on both side

P₀ + ρ g d = P₀ + ρ' g (2x)

(1000) (0.10) = (13600) (2x)

x = 0.00368 m

x = 0.368 cm

Which is true about carbon-12 compared with carbon-13

E mass number of any given atom depends solely on the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The mass number of any atom can be determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons. (Mathematically this is stated as Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons). For instance, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons will have a mass number of 12AMU. However, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 8 Neutrons will have a mass number of 14AMU. They are both Carbon atoms, however they each have a different mass number. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore, different mass numbers, are called isotopes. Isotopic symbols are used to indicate isotopes of the same elements. In the following isotopic symbols the lower number is the atomic number…it is the number of protons. The upper number is the mass number, it represents to sum of the protons and neutrons in the atoms nucleus.

What type of plate boundary do most volcanoes occur along
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Subducting convergent boundary

Explanation:

Generally, volcanoes occurs in both divergent and convergent boundaries. But the convergent boundary it occurs is usually associated with subduction.

Divergent boundary, plates move away from each other creating a new crust in the process. The diverging plates creates the space for magma to be squeezed through cracks and fissures. The magma's erupt to form volcanoes. In the Atlantic ocean the spreading of the plates causes an upwelling of magma through the crest of the Atlantic ridges. New oceanic crust are formed through this process. Sometimes the magma eruption forms volcanoes  that are higher than the sea level.

Convergent boundary , plates collides with each other . But in the case of volcanoes existence , the collision should be between a denser  plate(oceanic plates) and a less dense plates(continental plates) so that subduction can take place. The subducted plates (oceanic plates)  creates trenches and get expose to high temperature and pressure as it sinks toward the mantle. The upper mantle rocks melts and migrate to the earth surface forming volcanoes . Over 75% of the volcanoes occur along the pacific basin where convergent boundary is dominant. Pacific ring of fire has one of the most number of volcanoes.

A wagon full of manure accidentally rolls down a driveway for 5.0m while a person pushes against the wagon with a force of 420 N
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

2100 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Force acting on the object, F = 420 N

Distance moved by object, d = 5m

The change in kinetic energy of an object is equal to the work done by a force acting on the object:

W = F * d

∆KE = F * d

∆KE = 420 * 5

∆KE = 2100 J

Does the KE of a car change more when it accelerates from 22 km/h to 32 km/h or when it accelerates from 32 km/h to 42 km/h
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The change in kinetic energy (KE) of the car is more in the second case.

Explanation:

Let the mass of the car = m

initial velocity of the first case, u = 22 km/h = 6.11 m/s

final velocity of the first case, v = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s

change in kinetic energy (K.E) = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

                                          ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(8.89² - 6.11²)

                                                    = 20.85m J

 

initial velocity of the second case, u = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s

final velocity of the second case, v = 42 km/h = 11.67 m/s

change in kinetic energy (K.E) = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

                                          ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(11.67² - 8.89²)

                                                    = 28.58m J

The change in kinetic energy (KE) of the car is more in the second case.
