2. A liquid that is twice as dense as water is used in a barometer. With this barometer, atmospheric pressure would push the liq

uid to a height of 5.15m. Explain why.\

Answer:

The reason why the height for the liquid is 5.18 m is because, for constant pressure, height is inversely proportional to density.

Explanation:

We know that pressure, P = ρgh where ρ = density of material, g = 9.8 m/s and h = height.

Since density of liquid = 2 × density of water = 2 × 1000 kg/m = 2000 kg/m³

Since atmospheric pressure = 101500 N/m²,

The height of liquid for this pressure is h = P/ρg = 101500/(2000 × 9.8) = 5.18 m

For the same pressure, the height for water is h = P/ρg = 101500/(1000 × 9.8) = 10.36 m

Since pressure = constant,

P = ρgh ⇒ P/ρg = h since P and g are constant, h ∝ 1/ρ

ρ₁h₁ = ρ₂h₂

So, the reason why the height for the liquid is 5.18 m is because, for constant pressure, height is inversely proportional to density.

near the surface of the earth, objects in free fall (but not terminal velocity) experience a. constant distance. b. constant acc
Alenkasestr [34]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. constant acceleration.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Free fall is the type of motion of a body or an object when only gravity is acting on it.
  • <em><u>All objects undergo free fall on the earth surface at the same rate irrespective of their mass. This is because the gravitational field on the surface of the earth 9.8 N/kg, causes and acceleration equivalent to 9.8 m/s/s of any object in free fall motion.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u> the acceleration of any freely falling object near the surface of the earth is 9.8 m/s².</u>

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: tensional force

Explanation:

Tension force on a material occurs when two equal forces act on a material in an opposite direction away from the ends of the material.

Pre-tensing a wire material increases its load bearing capacity and reduces its flexure.
