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

nometer was 12.2 cm. Atmospheric pressure was 783 mmHg. The pressure of the argon in the container was __________ mmHg.

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.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

B. an inverse relationship

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

Ricardo is on vacation, doing some mountain climbing. He notices that the higher he goes up a mountain, the colder he feels. He remembers his physics teacher teaching about these types of relationships. What is the type of relationship between mountain elevation and temperature? A. a positive relationship B. an inverse relationship C. a neutral relationship D. a direct relationship

Solution

It is an inverse relationship because, as Ricardo's mountain elevation increases, he feels colder. So, as his mountain elevation increases, the temperature decreases.

Since one variable decreases while the other increases, it can only be an inverse relationship.

Let h be Ricardo's mountain elevation and T his temperature. So by inverse proportionality,

h ∝ 1/T

h = k/T

hT = k = constant

So, we have an inverse relationship and B is the answer.

Describe a technology used in space exploration.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

High speed optical communication technology

To be able to communicate from the space to the earth and from earth to space is one of the most essential features required during space exploration.

Explanation:

Space exploration involves going into the space, beyond the earth's atmosphere. Landing on other planets and studying their details, going into deeper space beyond the planets to discover new cosmic events or structures is all a part of space exploration.

The key to analyse the studies and observations is being able to communicate the data collected, photos taken etc to the launch centers or space centers on earth. The space centers on earth should also be able to communicate with the persons or the satellites in space.

This is made possible using the optical communication technology which involves the use of optical fibers, lasers etc, since high speeds are more efficient during communication

which of these changes does a submarine encounter as it returns from the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the ocean
fiasKO [112]

a.the amount of sunlight increases.

Explanation:

As a submarine rises to the surface, the change it encounters that is true from the given options is that the amount of sunlight increases.

The bottom of the ocean is dark and receives little to no sunlight due to the scattering of the rays by ocean water.

  • As the submarine rises, the volume of water column on it decreases and the pressure on it decreases too.
  • Also, the temperature rises steadily to the surface.
