A closed-end manometer was attached to a vessel containing argon. The difference in the mercury levels in the two arms of the ma

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.

An elastic conducting material is stretched into a circular loop of 14.7 cm radius. It is placed with its plane perpendicular to

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: 0.66 V

Explanation:

Given

Magnetic field, B = 0.963 T

Instantaneous rare = 74.5 cm/s = 0.745 m/s

radius, r = 14.7 cm = 0.147 m

We will use the formula

emf = dΦ/dt

emf = d(BA)/dt

emf = d(Bπr²)/dt

if B is constant, then we can say

emf = Bπ d(r²)/dt on differentiating, we have,

emf = Bπ (2r dr/dt)

emf = 2πrB dr/dt substituting each values, we have

emf = 2 * 3.142 * 0.147 * 0.963 * 0.745

emf = 0.66 V

Therefore, the induced emf in the loop at that instant is 0.66 V

What is the escape velocity on the Venus ? Venus' mass 4.90*10^ 24 kg and radius is 6.86 * 10 ^ 6 * m

gtnhenbr [62]

The escape velocity on Venus is 9761 m/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity from a planet is the speed that an object on the surface of that planet must have in order to completely escape the gravitational field of the planet.

Mathematically, it is calculated as

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

For Venus, we have:

$M=4.90\cdot 10^{24}kg$ is the mass

$R=6.86\cdot 10^6 m$ is the radius

Substituting, we find the escape velocity on Venus:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(4.90\cdot 10^{24})}{6.86\cdot 10^6}}=9761 m/s$

A 0.25 kg ball is suspended from a light 0.65 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 31° with the vertical. Let U = 0 w

steposvetlana [31]

Explanation:

a) The height of the ball h with respect to the reference line is

$h = L - L\cos{31°} = L(1 - \cos{31°})$

so its initial gravitational potential energy $U_0$ is

$U = mgh = mgL(1 - \cos{31°})$

$\:\:\:\:\:=(0.25\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31})$

$\:\:\:\:\:=0.23\:\text{J}$

b) To find the speed of the ball at the reference point, let's use the conservation law of energy:

$\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0 \Rightarrow K_0 + U_0 = K + U$

We know that the initial kinetic energy $K_0,$ as well as its final gravitational potential energy $U$ are zero so we can write the conservation law as

$mgL(1 - \cos{31°}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Note that the mass gets cancelled out and then we solve for the velocity v as

$v = \sqrt{2gL(1 - \cos{31°})}$

$\:\:\:\:\:= \sqrt{2(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31°})}$

$\:\:\:\:\:= 1.3\:\text{m/s}$

A geothermal plant uses geothermal water (yes a liquid) extracted from beneath the Earth using drilling apparatus. The geotherma

Sophie [7]

Answer:

4.1%

Explanation:

Given that water specific heat c = 4186 J/kgC. If water is flowing with mass rate of 200kg/s and temperature is dropping from 200C to 25C. Then the thermal energy rate from the water should be

$P_i = mc\Delta t = 200*4186*(200 - 25) = 146510000
J/s$ or 146510kW

Since the turbine is only able to extract 6000kW of power, then the thermal efficiency is:

$Eff = \frac{P_o}{P_i} = \frac{6000}{146510} = 0.041$ or 4.1%
