A normal blood pressure reading is less than 120/80 where both numbers are gauge pressures measured in millimeters of mercury (m

mHg). What are the absolute and gauge pressures in pascals at the base of a 0.0930 m column of mercury? (The density of mercury is rhoHg = 13.6 ✕ 103 kg/m3. Assume the system is at sea level.)

The pressure value is given by the equation,

$P= \rho gh$

Where,

$\rho$ represents the density of the liquid

g= gravity

h= Heigth

A) For the measurement of the guage pressure we have the data data,

$\rho_{mercury} = 13.6*10^3kg/m^3$

$h=0.0930m$

$g=9.8m/s^2$

Replacing we get,

$P_g=\rho_{mercury}gh$

$[tex]P_g = (13.6*10^3)(9.8)(0.0930)$ P_g = 12395Pa[/tex]

In order to find the Absolute pressure, we perform a sum between the atmospheric pressure and that of the Gauge,

B) The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101325Pa, assuming ideal conditions, we will take this pressure for our calculation, so

$P_T = P_a+P_g\\P_T = 101325Pa+12395Pa\\P_T = 113720Pa\\P_T = 113.7kPa$

A plastic ball in a liquid is acted upon by its weight and by a buoyant force. The weight of the ball is 4 N. The buoyant force

Sauron [17]

Answer:

The acceleration is 2.448 meters per square second and is vertically upward.

Explanation:

The Free Body Diagram of the plastic ball in the liquid is presented in the image attached below. By Second Newton's Law, we know that forces acting on the plastic ball is:

$\Sigma F = F - m\cdot g = m\cdot a$ (1)

Where:

$F$ - Buoyant force, measured in newtons.

$m$ - Mass of the plastic ball, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$a$ - Net acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $F = 5\,N$ , $m = 0.408\,kg$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the net acceleration of the plastic ball is:

$a = \frac{F}{m} - g$

$a= 2.448\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The acceleration is 2.448 meters per square second and is vertically upward.

Water has a specific heat capacity nearly nine times that of iron. Suppose a 50-g pellet of iron at a temperature of 200∘C is dr

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

a. closer to 20∘C

Explanation:

$m_{p}$ = mass of pallet = 50 g = 0.050 kg

$c_{p}$ = specific heat of pallet = specific heat of iron

$T_{pi}$ = Initial temperature of pellet = 200 C

$m_{w}$ = mass of water = 50 g = 0.050 kg

$c_{w}$ = specific heat of water

$T_{wi}$ = Initial temperature of water = 20 C

$T_{e}$ = Final equilibrium temperature

Also given that

$c_{w} = 9 c_{p}$

Using conservation of energy

Energy gained by water = Energy lost by pellet

$m_{w} c_{w} (T_{e} - T_{wi}) = m_{p} c_{p} (T_{pi} - T_{e})\\(0.050) (9) c_{p} (T_{e} - 20) = (0.050) c_{p} (200 - T_{e})\\ (9) (T_{e} - 20) = (200 - T_{e})\\T_{e} = 38 C$

hence the correct choice is

a. closer to 20∘C

Schach [20]

Answer:

We don't get shocked because of the type of materials used in the switch is a poor conductor of electricity

Explanation:

Yes it is quite amazing we don't get shocked, this is because of resistance of the type of materials used in the switch (non conductors of electricity) so that when you try to put on a switch no current passes through you, mostly the material are made from plastics Or ceramics which are actually poor conductors of electricity.
