Jorge wishes to observe the progress of his vacuum pump in evacuating a tall bell jar for the purpose of demonstrating that soun

d waves do not travel in a vacuum. So, Jorge places a mercury barometer inside the bell jar and follows the height of the mercury column as the pump chugs away. When he observes a height of 8.69 mm, what fraction of atmospheric pressure, expressed as a percentage, has Jorge achieved in his bell jar? The density of mercury is 1.36 × 10 4 kg/m 3 and the standard atmospheric pressure is 1.01 × 10 5 Pa. The acceleration g due to gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . g

Answer:

1.147 %

Explanation:

\rho = Density of mercury = 1.36\times 10^4\ kg/m^3

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height of mercury = 8.69 m

Standard atmospheric pressure = 1.01\times 10^5\ Pa

6.55 mmHg converting to Pa

\rho gh\\ =1.36\times 10^4\times 9.81\times 8.69\times 10^{-3}\\ =1159.38504\ Pa

Dividing air pressure by the above value

\frac{1159.38504}{1.01\times 10^5}\times 100=1.147\ \%

The fraction of atmospheric pressure is 1.147 %

1. All the relevant resistors are in series, so the total (or equivalent) resistance is the sum of the resistances of the resistors: 20 Ω + 80 Ω + 50 Ω = 150 Ω [choice A].

2. The ammeter will read the current flowing through this circuit. We can find the ammeter reading using Ohm's law in terms of the electromotive force provided by the battery: I = ℰ/R = (30 V)(150 Ω) = 0.20 A [choice C].

3. The voltmeter will measure the potential drop across the 50 Ω resistor, i.e., the voltage at that resistor. We know from question 2 that the current flowing through the resistor is 0.20 A. So, from Ohm's law, V = IR = (0.20 A)(50 Ω) = 10. V, which will be the voltmeter reading [choice F].

4. Trick question? If the circuit becomes open, then no current will flow. Moreover, even if the voltmeter were kept as element of the circuit, voltmeters generally have a very high resistance (an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance), so the current moving through the circuit will be negligible if not nil. In any case, the ammeter reading would be 0 A [choice B].

Where are you on Earth if you experience each of the following? (Refer to the discussion in Observing the Sky: The Birth of Astr
Aloiza [94]

Explanation:

We know that the sky appears to us like a sphere called as celestial sphere which appears to rotate around an imaginary axis because of Earth's rotation. Since the axis cuts the celestial sphere at celestial poles all the object seems to circle around the celestial poles.

Condition 1: The stars rise and set perpendicular to the horizon

The observer is at the equator

Condition 2: The stars circle the sky parallel to the horizon

The observer is at the Pole of the Earth

Condition 3: The celestial equator passes through the zenith

The observer is at the equator

Condition 4: In the course of a year, all stars are visible

The observer is at the equator

Condition 5: The Sun rises on March 21 and does not set until September 21 (ideally)

The observer is at North Pole
