Answer:

<em>The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm</em>

Explanation:

<em>Pressure:</em><em>This is defined as the ratio of the force acting normally ( perpendicular) to the area of surface in contact. The S.I unit of  pressure is N/m²</em>

<em>p = Dgh............... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where p = pressure, D = density, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.</em>

<em>From the question, the same pressure will support the column of mercury and water.</em>

<em>p₁ = p₂</em>

<em>Where p₁ = pressure of mercury, p₂ = pressure of water</em>

D₁gh₁ = D₂gh₂.................. Equation 2

making h₂ the subject of equation 2

h₂ = D₁gh/D₂g............... Equation 3

Where D₁ and D₂ = Density of mercury and water respectively, h₁ and h₂ = height of mercury and water respectively

Given: D₁ = 13.6 g/cm³, D₂ = 1.00 g/cm³, h₁ = 256 mm = 25.6 cm.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into Equation 3,

h₂ = (13.6×9.8×25.6)/1×9.8

<em>h₂ = 348.14 cm</em>

<em>The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm</em>

A negatively charged rod is placed near two neutral metal spheres, as shown below. Which statements describe the charging method
grin007 [14]
<h3>Answer;</h3>
  • <em>The spheres develop opposite charges. </em>
  • <em>Electrons move from Sphere A to Sphere B. </em>
  • <em>The spheres are charged through induction.</em>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u><em>When a negatively charged rod is placed near two neutral metal spheres, the spheres will develop opposite charges, because the neutral metal spheres have both negative and positive charges. </em></u>From the basic law of electrostatics unlike charges attracts and like charges repel.
  • Thus, <em><u>the sphere will develop opposite charges, electrons will move from Sphere A to sphere B,</u></em> hence we say that the spheres will be charged by induction such that sphere A will acquire a positive charge while sphere B will acquire negative charge.

A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field in the positive x direction with magnitude 850 N/C. Wha
Gwar [14]

A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field in the positive x direction with magnitude 850 N/C. The change in the electric potential energy of the proton-field system when the proton travels to x = 2.50m is -3.40 × 10⁻¹⁶ J (Option B)

<h3 /><h3>How is the change in electric potential energy of the proton-field system calculated?</h3>

  • Work done on the proton =Negative of the change in the electric potential energy of the proton field
  • In the given case, W = -qΔV
  • -W = qΔV
  • = qEcosθ
  • Therefore, work done on the proton = -e(8.50×10^2 N/C)(2.5m)(1)
  • = -3.40×10^-^1^6 J
  • Any change in the potential energy indicates the work done by the proton.
  • Therefore the positive sign shows that the potential energy increases when the proton does the work.
  • The negative sign shows that the potential energy decreases when the proton does the work.
