The pressure outside (atmosphere) is greater than that inside the tube. This means that the mercury will be pushed up in the glass tube. This phenomenon is called the capillary rise. It shape would be like that of the outside of the umbrella. The answer is therefore letter D.

Briefly explain how a resonance tube works​
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

As the tines of the tuning fork vibrate at their own natural frequency, they created sound waves that impinge upon the opening of the resonance tube. These impinging sound waves produced by the tuning fork force air inside of the resonance tube to vibrate at the same frequency.

4. X-ray radiation from diffraction and fluorescence instruments is a) Not very dangerous because the X-rays are absorbed in the
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

c) Very dangerous and users must not override devices designed to protect from exposures.

Explanation:

X-ray is a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation and are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

X-ray radiation from diffraction and fluorescence instruments is very dangerous because of their high energy and wavelength.

Hence, users must not override devices designed to protect from exposures. The best shielding device to protect one from exposure is Lead.

To provide some perspective on the dimensions of atomic defects, consider a metal specimen that has a dislocation density of 105
-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

LD₁ = 10⁵ mm⁻²

LD₂ = 10⁴mm⁻²

V = 1000 mm³

Distance = (LD)(V)

Distance₁ = (10⁵mm⁻²)(1000mm³) = 10×10⁷mm = 10×10⁴m

Distance₂ = (10⁹mm⁻²)(1000mm³) = 1×10¹² mm = 1×10⁹ m

Conversion to miles:

Distance₁ = 10×10⁴ m / 1609m = 62 miles

Distance₂ = 10×10⁹m / 1609 m = 621,504 miles.

EXPERTS/ACE and people that wanna help 4 sure only!
oee [108]
To do this you want to solve for one variable at a time. So we want to cancel out a variable. Lets cancel x. I will multiply the first equation by the number 4 to get 4y=4x-16.
Now lets solve equation 2 for y, giving
-3y=-4x+3 now add equation 1 to equation 2
Y =-13
Now plug that back in to either
-13=x-4
X=-9
So the answer is (-9,-13)

HELP ME! One airline limits the size of carry-on luggage to a volume of 40,000 cm^3. A passenger has a carry-on that has an area
EleoNora [17]
You must times the area by the volume, look at it as if the area is just one of 23 layers that makes up the volume.
1960x23=45080
so no it cannot be carried as it is 5080cm^3 over the limit
