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>

Veronica claims that she can throw a dart at a dartboard from a distance of 2 m and hit the 5 cm wide bullseye if she throws the
wariber [46]
First, find the amount of time for the dart to hit the board using this equation: t = d/v

t = 2 m/ 15 m/s = 0.133 s

Then, find the height the dart has fallen from its initial point using this equation: h = 0.5gt²

h = 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(0.133 s)² = 0.0872 m or 8.72 cm

Since the diameter of the bull's eye is only 5 cm, and you started at the same level of the top of the bull's eye, that means the maximum allowance would only be 5 cm. Since it exceeded to 8.72 cm, it means that <em>Veronica will not hit the bull's eye.</em>

Which type of relationship is formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the
Alina [70]

The type of relationship formed when a megabat eats a fig and drops the seeds in a new location is COMENSALISM. It is an ecological interaction.

<h3>What is commensalism?</h3>

Commensalism is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism benefits (in this case, the tree)  and the other organism neither benefits nor harm (the megabat).

Mutualism is a type of ecological association in which both organisms benefit from such interaction.

Conversely, parasitism is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism benefits and the other organism is harmed.

R1=3 ohms
brilliants [131]

Answer: current I = 1.875A

Explanation:

If the resistors are connected in series,

Then the equivalent resistance will be

R = 6 + 18 + 15 + 9

R = 48 ohms

Using ohms law

V = IR

Make current I the subject of formula

I = V/R

I = 90/48

I = 1.875A

And if the resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance will be

1/R = 1/6 + 1/18 + 1/15 + 1/9

1/R = 0.166 + 0.055 + 0.066 + 0.111

R = 1/0.3999

R = 2.5 ohms

Using ohms law

V = IR

I = 90/2.5

Current I = 35.99A

A 5.00X10^5 kg rocket is accelerating straight up. Its engines produce 1.250X10^7 N of thrust, and air resistance is 4.50X10^6 N
katrin [286]
<span>6.20 m/s^2 The rocket is being accelerated towards the earth by gravity which has a value of 9.8 m/s^2. Given the total mass of the rocket, the gravitational drag will be 9.8 m/s^2 * 5.00 x 10^5 kg = 4.9 x 10^6 kg m/s^2 = 4.9 x 10^6 N Add in the atmospheric drag and you get 4.90 x 10^6 N + 4.50 x 10^6 N = 9.4 x 10^6 N Now subtract that total drag from the thrust available. 1.250 x 10^7 - 9.4 x 10^6 = 12.50 x 10^6 - 9.4 x 10^6 = 3.10 x 10^6 N So we have an effective thrust of 3.10 x 10^6 N working against a mass of 5.00 x 10^5 kg. We also have N which is (kg m)/s^2 and kg. The unit we wish to end up with is m/s^2 so that indicates we need to divide the thrust by the mass. So 3.10 x 10^6 (kg m)/s^2 / 5.00 x 10^5 kg = 0.62 x 10^1 m/s^2 = 6.2 m/s^2 Since we have only 3 significant figures in our data, the answer is 6.20 m/s^2</span>
