Answer:

122 mmHg

Explanation:

In the given problem, the height of the column will not be affected by the atmospheric pressure because the manometer end is closed.

The difference of height of the mercury level is given as,

h=12.2cm\\h=12.2(\frac{10mm}{1cm})\\ h=122mm

Now as we know that the pressure of the gas is equal to the height in the case of closed end manometer.

P_{gas}=h

Therefore,

P_{gas}=122 mmHg

This pressure is caused due to the presence of gas.

Therefore, the pressure of the argon gas in the container is 122 mmHg.

vovangra [49]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

g = 9.8 m/s², and air resistance is ignored.

For mass m₁:
The normal reaction is m₁g.
The resisting force is R₁ = μm₁g.

For mass m₂:
The normal reaction is m₂g.
The resisting force is R₂ = μm₂g.

Let a =  the acceleration of the system.
Then
(m₁ + m₂)a = F - (R₁ + R₂)
(14+26 kg)*(a m/s²) = (65 N) - 0.098*(9.8 m/s²)*(14+26 kg)
40a = 65 - 38.416 = 26.584
a = 0.6646 m/s²

Answer:  0.665 m/s²  (nearest thousandth)

Elanso [62]

Answer:

A. The bomb will take <em>17.5 seconds </em>to hit the ground

B. The bomb will land <em>12040 meters </em>on the ground ahead from where they released it

Explanation:

Maverick and Goose are flying at an initial height of y_0=1500m, and their speed is v=688 m/s

When they release the bomb, it will initially have the same height and speed as the plane. Then it will describe a free fall horizontal movement

The equation for the height y with respect to ground in a horizontal movement (no friction) is

y=y_0 - \frac{gt^2}{2}    [1]

With g equal to the acceleration of gravity of our planet and t the time measured with respect to the moment the bomb was released

The height will be zero when the bomb lands on ground, so if we set y=0 we can find the flight time

The range (horizontal displacement) of the bomb x is

x = v.t     [2]

Since the bomb won't have any friction, its horizontal component of the speed won't change. We need to find t from the equation [1] and replace it in equation [2]:

Setting y=0 and isolating t we get

t=\sqrt{\frac{2y_0}{g}}

Since we have y_0=1500m

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1500)}{9.8}}

t=17.5 sec

Replacing in [2]

x = 688\ m/sec \ (17.5sec)

x = 12040\ m

A. The bomb will take 17.5 seconds to hit the ground

B. The bomb will land 12040 meters on the ground ahead from where they released it

Iron combines with oxygen and water from the air to form rust. If an iron nail were
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

When iron rusts - in the presence of moisture and oxygen - iron-oxide is formed. Iron oxide is nothing but a compound of iron and oxygen. There is an increase in the mass of the iron equal to the mass of oxygen that has gone into forming the rust.
