At the beach in San Francisco (0 meters) the pressure of the atmosphere is 101.325 kPa

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

$P = -\frac{17978}{1609344}(h)+101.325$

Explanation:

Given

$h = height$

$P = Pressure$

$(h_1,P_1) = (0,101.325)$

$(h_2,P_2) = (1609.344 ,83.437 )$

Required

Determine the linear equation for P in terms of h

First, we calculate the slope/rate (m);

The following formula is used:

$m = \frac{P_2 - P_1}{h_2 - h_1}$

Substitute values for P's and h's

$m = \frac{83.347 - 101.325}{1609.344- 0}$

$m = \frac{-17.978}{1609.344}$

$m = -\frac{17.978}{1609.344}$

Multiply by 1000/1000

$m = -\frac{17.978 * 1000}{1609.344*1000}$

$m = -\frac{17978}{1609344}$

The equation is then calculated using:

$P - P_1 = m(h - h_1)$

Substitute values for m, h1 and P1

$P - P_1 = m(h - h_1)$

$P - 101.325 = -\frac{17978}{1609344}(h - 0)$

$P - 101.325 = -\frac{17978}{1609344}(h)$

Make P the subject

$P = -\frac{17978}{1609344}(h)+101.325$

<em>The above is the required linear equation</em>

If you drop a bouncing ball from a height of 40 centimeters, explain why it can only bounce back up to a height of less than 40

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Due to energy loss while collision ball will not reach to same height while if there is no energy loss then in that case ball will reach to same height

Explanation:

As we know that initially ball is held at height h = 40 cm

So here we can say that kinetic energy of the ball is zero and potential energy is given as

$U = mgH$

now when strike with the ground then its its fraction of kinetic energy is lost in form of other energies

So the ball will left rebound with smaller energy and hence it will reach to height less than the initial height

While if we assume that there is no energy loss during collision then in that case ball will reach to same height again

A copper cylinder has a mass of 76.8 g and a specific heat of 0.092 cal/g.C. It is heated to 86.5 degrees C from 19.5 degrees C.

Sladkaya [172]

Given:

The mass of the copper cylinder is: m = 76.8 g = 0.0768 kg

The change in the temperature is: T = 86.5 deg C - 19.5 deg C = 67 deg C

The specific heat is: c = 0.092 cal/g.C

To find:

Heat energy needed to heat the copper cylinder.

Explanation:

The specific heat is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celcius.

The expression relating heat Q, mass m, specific heat c and temperature difference T is:

$Q=mcT$

Substitute the values in the above equation, we get:

$\begin{gathered} Q=76.8\text{ g}\times0.092\text{ Cal/g.C}\times67\text{ deg C} \\ \\ Q=473.40\text{ Cal} \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

473.40 calories of heat is required to heat the copper cylinder.

The ____ method of assessing intake is time consuming, and the results may not be accurate if subjects modify their eating habit

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Food record

Explanation:

A food record method is an assessment, study or act of collecting data related to food.

Although Food record method is time consuming and may not be accurate if subjects modify their eating habits during the time of the study the data collected here are of great importance. Some of the importance are;

(1). It helps in the registration of foods.

(2). The data can be used to describe a population's intake.

(3). The data can be used as a reference parameter in validation studies.

(4). The data can also be used with the Food Frequency Questionnaire.

It other disadvantage apart from its time consuming and error that might occur during the process of conducting the research is that it might be burdensome to the respondents.
