A liquid is used to make a mercury-type barometer. The barometer is intended for space-faring astronauts. At the surface of the

Earth, the column of liquid rises to a height of 2185 mm, but on the surface of Planet X, where the acceleration due to gravity is ¼ its value on Earth, the column only rises to a level of 725 mm. Find the density of the liquid and the atmospheric pressure at the surface of Planet X

Answer:

Density of liquid = 4730 kg/m³

Atmospheric pressure on planet X = 8401.7 N/m²

Explanation:

Pressure, P = ρgh where ρ = density of liquid, g =9.8 m/s² and h = height of column at earth's surface = 2185 mm. Since P = atmospheric pressure, for mercury, P = ρ₁gh₁ where ρ₁ = 13.6 g/cm³ and h₁ = 760 mm

So, ρgh = ρ₁gh₁

ρ = ρ₁h₁/h = 13.6 g/cm³ × 760/2185 = 4.73 g/cm³ = 4730 kg/m³

The atmospheric pressure on planet X

P = ρg₁h₃     g₁ = g/4 and h₃ = 725 mm = 0.725 m

on planet X

P = ρg₁h₃ = (4730 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 0.725 m)/4 = 8401.7 N/m²

Explain how valence electrons can result in the<br> creation of ions.
Brums [2.3K]
So as you may know atoms are neutral because the number of protons (+ charge) and the number of electrons( - charge) are the same so they cancel out. When a valence electron leaves an atom it will have a +1 charge because there is one less negative than positives or there is one more positive than negatives since a negative electron left. If a valence electron is added a -1 charge because there is now one more negative than positive!!!
hope that helps!!

What is the weight of a 1-kilogram brick resting on a table?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The weight if the block is 10Newtons

Explanation:

The weight of any object is quantity of matter the object contains and it is always acting downwards on such body. This shows that the object is under the influence of gravity.

The weight of an object is calculated as mass of the object × its acceleration due to gravity

W = mg

Give the mass of the brick to be 1kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Weight of the object = 1 × 10

= 10kgm/s² or 10Newtons

A stone is thrown towards a wall with an initial velocity of v0=19m/s and an angle = 71 with the horizontal, as illustrated in t
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

(a) 2.85 m

(b) 16.5 m

(c) 21.7 m

(d) 22.7 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ₓ = 19 cos 71° m/s

v₀ᵧ = 19 sin 71° m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²

(a) Find Δy when t = 3.5 s.

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

Δy = (19 sin 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

Δy = 2.85 m

(b) Find Δy when vᵧ = 0 m/s.

vᵧ² = v₀ᵧ² + 2 aᵧ Δy

(0 m/s)² = (19 sin 71° m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 16.5 m

(c) Find Δx when t = 3.5 s.

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

Δx = 21.7 m

(d) Find Δx when Δy = 0 m.

First, find t when Δy = 0 m.

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

(0 m) = (19 sin 71° m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

0 = t (18.0 − 4.9 t)

t = 3.67

Next, find Δx when t = 3.67 s.

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.67 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.67 s)²

Δx = 22.7 m

Solve 3.4 = 5.1(3.7x + 4.7) for x.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

3.4 = 18.87x + 23.97

collecting like terms

3.4 - 23.97 = 18.87x

-20.57 = 18.87x

dividing both sides by 18.87

x = -20.57/18.87

x= -1.09
