1 mm Hg pressure is the pressure due to 1 mm height of mercury

so it is given as

P = \rho g h

P = 1 * 10^{-3} * 13700 * 9.8 = 134.26 Pa

now we know that pressure is

P = 405 kPa

P = 405 * 10^3 Pa

so in mm Hg this pressure is

P = \frac{405 * 10^3 }{134.26} = 3016.5 mm Hg

so pressure in millimeter Hg will be 3016.5 mm Hg

What substances were found in the innermost regions (within about the inner 0.3 AUAU) of the solar system before planets began t
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Hydrogen and helium compounds.

Explanation:

We know that the solar System was formed around <u>4.6 billion years ago, </u>due to the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud.

This cloud  is a type of interstellar cloud and its density and size permit the formation of molecules, most commonly molecular hydrogen.

Therefore the principal substances were found before planets began to form are hydrogen and helium compounds, besides Rocks, metals, most of them in gaseous form.

I hope it helps you!

An object at rest does not _____ and an object in motion does not _____, unless an _____ force acts upon it
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

An object at rest does not move and an object in motion does not change its velocity, unless an external force acts upon it

Explanation:

This statement is also known as Newton's first law, or law of  inertia.

It states that the state of motion of an object can be changed only if there is an external force (different from zero) acting on it: therefore

- If an object is at rest, it will remain at rest if there is no force acting on it

- If an object is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity if there is no force acting on it

This phenomenon can be also understood by looking at Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

If the net force is zero, F = 0, the acceleration of the object is also zero, a = 0: therefore, the velocity of the object does not change, and it will continue moving at the same velocity (which can be zero, if the object was at rest).

You are performing a knee extension exercise. You hold a 20kg weight at full knee extension. The weight is 0.4m from your knee j
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the object (m) = 20 kg

Distance of the object from the knee joint (d) = 0.4 m

Weight of leg is not considered.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Now, weight of the object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. So,

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

            = mg=20\times 9.8 =196\ N

We know that, moment of a force about a point is defined as the product of force applied and the perpendicular distance between the point and the line of application of force.

Moment of the given weight about the knee joint is given as:

Moment about knee joint = Weight × Distance from knee joint to weight

Moment about knee joint = 196 × 0.4 = 78.4 Nm

Now, from the diagram below, we can observe that, the weight acts vertically down and thus the sense of rotation about the knee joint at point O is clockwise. So, moment is negative.

Therefore, the moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).

Sammy squirrel is steering his boat at a heading of 327 degree at 18mph. The current is flowing at 4mph at a heading of 60 degre
Tanya [424]

Answer:

  • 59.97 º at 18.23 mph

Explanation:

To find Sammy's course you have to add the two velocities (vectors), 18 mph 327º and 4 mph 60º.

To add the two vectors analytically you decompose each vector into their vertical and horizontal components.

<u>1. 18 mph 327º</u>

  • Horizontal component: 18 mph × cos (327º) = 15.10 mph

  • Vertical component: 18 mph × sin (327º) = - 9.80 mph

  • Vector notation:

       15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j

<u>2. 4 mph 60º</u>

  • Horizontal component: 4 mph × cos (60º) = 2.00 mph

  • Vertical component: 4 mph × sin (60º) = 3.46 mph

  • Vector notation:

       2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j

<u>3. Addition:</u>

You add the corresponding components:

15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j+2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j\\ \\ 17.10\hat i-6.34\hat j

To find the magnitude use Pythagorean theorem:

  • \sqrt{17.1^2+6.34^2}= 18.23

<u>4. Direction:</u>

Use the tangent ratio:

  • tan(\alpha )=opposite/adjacent=3.46/2.00=1.73

Find the inverse:

  • arctan (1.73) ≈ 59.97º
