3 0

Answer:

Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere.

Atmospheric Pressure = density of Mercury X acceleration due to gravity X height of column of the mercury

What is elasticity in polymer generally related to?
Andrej [43]
The elasticity of a polymer is primarily due to the structure of the molecule and the cross-linking between strands. Hydrogen bonding is a contributor to the shape of the molecule, but not a major player in terms of elasticity. We would have to answer "false".

Answer: Highly-elliptical-earth-orbit (heo)

Explanation: Highly-elliptical-earth-orbit (heo) satellite system has unique properties

which is used by governments for spying and by scientific agencies for observing celestial bodies. It is an extremely elongated orbit that is useful for communication satellites which creates signals between a source transmitter and a receiver at different locations on earth. They are used by government for spying, scientific agencies for observing celestial bodies, for the internet and telephone communications.

A spring with force constant of 59 N/m is compressed by 1.3 cm in a hockey game machine. The compressed spring is used to accele
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

Explanation:

As the puck is accelerated by the spring, the kinetic energy of the puck equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.

So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² where m = mass of puck = 39.2 g = 0.0392 g, v = velocity of puck, k = spring constant = 59 N/m and x = compression of spring = 1.3 cm = 0.013 cm.

Now, since the puck has an initial velocity, v before it slides up the inclined surface, its loss in kinetic energy equals its gain in potential energy before it stops. So

1/2mv² = mgh where h = vertical height puck moves and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting the kinetic energy of the puck for the potential energy of the spring, we have

1/2kx² = mgh

h = kx²/2mg

= 59 N/m × (0.013 m)²/(0.0392 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

= 0.009971 Nm/0.38416 N

= 0.0259 m

= 2.59 cm

≅ 2.6 cm

So the puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

Nitroglycerin flows through a pipe of diameter 3.0 cm at 2.0 m/s. If the diameter narrows to 0.5 cm, what will the velocity be?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

72 m/s

Explanation:

D1 = 3 cm, v1 = 2 m/s

D2 = 0.5 cm,

Let the velocity at narrow end be v2.

By use of equation of continuity

A1 v1 = A2 v2

3.14 × 3 × 3 × 2 = 3.14 × 0.5 ×0.5 × v2

v2 = 72 m/s
