Answer:

Barometer is an instrument used to measure the atmospheric pressure.

Explanation:

  • Torricelli did an experiment by filling a one meter long test tube completely with mercury. He took a beaker with some amount of mercury in it and inverted the test tube filled with mercury by closing its open end into the mercury of beaker ensuring that no bubble is trapped into the mercury of test tube during the process.
  • This experiment was performed at normal temperature and pressure. Now some of the mercury from the test tube fell down into the beaker through the open end until the level becomes stagnant and this denotes the atmospheric pressure in terms of mercury column.
  • There was a vacuum created at the top of the test tube called torricellian vacuum which holds back the remaining mercury height and the rest of the mercury level in the beaker is facing the atmospheric pressure.

Answer:

Explanation:

the instrument used to measure the atmospheric pressure is called barometer.

It consists of a long tube open at one end and inverted into mercury. The normal pressure is 1 atm.

1 atm = 76 cm of mercury

1 atm = 1.01 x 10^5 Pa

An eraser is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s. The eraser's velocity after 7.0 seconds is ____ m/s.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of eraser  = 5.0m/s

Time  = 7.0s

Unknown:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

Since we have been given the initial velocity and duration of the throw, we can apply the appropriate motion equation to solve this problem.

       V  = U - 2gt

where V is the final velocity

            U is the initial velocity

             g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

            t is the time taken

       V  = U - gt

       V = 5 - (9.8)(7)

       V = -63.6 or -64m/s

The velocity is -64m/s

An optical disk drive in your computer can spin a disk up to 10,000 rpm (about 1045 rad/s ). If a particular disk is spun at 998
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

<em>1988.05 rad/s^2</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The angular speed of the optical disk ω = 998.0 rad/s

the time taken to come to rest t = 0.502 s

The magnitude of the average angular acceleration ∝ = ω/t

∝ = 998.0/0.502 = <em>1988.05 rad/s^2</em>

Two cellists, one seated directly behind the other in an orchestra, play the same note for the conductor who is directly in fron
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • In order to have a destructive interference, the path difference between the sources of the sound, must be equal to an odd multiple of the semi-wavelength, as follows:
  • ⇒ d = d₂ - d₁ = n*(λ/2)
  • The minimum posible value for this distance, is when n=1, as it can be seen here:
  • dmin = λ/2
  • In any traveling wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the wave speed, the frequency and the wavelength:
  • v = λ*f
  • Therefore, assuming that the speed of sound keeps constant, if the frequency is increased, in order to keep the right side of the expression above balanced, λ must be decreased.
  • As the smallest separation that produces destructive interference is directly proportional to the wavelength, this means that this separation will decrease if the cellists produced a note with a higher frequency.

Two circular loops of wire, each containing a single turn, have the same radius of 3.40 cm and a common center. The planes of th
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: To solve for the net magnetic field of two circular loops of wire, each containing a single turn

B net= √[( NUI / 2R)^2 × ( NUI / 2R)^2]

Where B net = Net magnetic field

B net = √2 × (NUI/ 2R)

B net =[ √2 × 1 × ( 4 × 3.142 × 10^-7) × (1.8)] ÷ 2 × 0.034

B net = { 1.414 × (0.00000126) × (1.8)}÷ 0.068

B net = 4.72 × 10^-5 T
