Answer:

The barometers are instruments used to measure the atmospheric pressure in a given space. Particularly, the mercury barometer uses a mechanism that depends on the expansion of the mercury to measure the atmospheric pressure.

The mercury barometer was invented around the year 1643, by the physicist Evangelista Torricelli

Answer:

1. 3 m

2. 27 s

Explanation:

1. "A car traveling at +33 m/s sees a red light and has to stop.  If the driver can accelerate at -5.5 m/s², how far does it travel?"

Given:

v₀ = 33 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -5.5 m/s²

Unknown: Δx

To determine the equation you need, look for which variable you don't have and aren't solving for.  In this case, we aren't given time and aren't solving for time.  So look for an equation that doesn't have t in it.

Equation: v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute and solve:

(0 m/s)² = (33 m/s)² + 2(-5.5 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 3 m

2. "A plane starting from rest at one end of a runway accelerates at 4.8 m/s² for 1800 m.  How long did it take to accelerate?"

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 4.8 m/s²

Δx = 1800 m

Unknown: t

Equation: Δx = v₀ t + ½ a t²

Substitute and solve:

1800 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (4.8 m/s²) t²

t ≈ 27 s

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The answer is "1.144 \times 10^{-4} \ m".

Explanation:

w=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{D}\\\\D=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{w}\\\\

   =\frac{2.44 \times 633 \times 10^{-9}\times 4 }{0.054}\\\\=\frac{6178.08\times 10^{-9}}{0.054}\\\\=1.144 \times 10^{-4} \ m
