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.

Answer:

Explanation:

A) <em>Large</em>: As she opens her parachute, she begins to displace a large volume of air. This leads to a Large air resistance

B) <em>increase, weight</em>: As she falls, the air resistance force <u><em>increases</em></u>. Now there is a force acting in opposite directions to her <u><em>weight.</em></u>

C)<em>Weight, Decelerate:</em> The skydiver has only the downward force of her <u><em>weight</em></u> pulling down on her, so she starts to <u><em>decelerate</em></u>

D) <em>Weight, Upward, Resultant</em>:

Her <u><em>weight </em></u>is now equal to the <u><em>upward </em></u>force from the ground. Her <u><em>resultant  </em></u>force is then zero

E) <em>Increases, same, constant,  resultant, terminal</em>:

As she accelerates faster, the air resistance force <u><em>increases</em></u>. It is now the <u><em>same </em></u>as her weight. She now moves at a <u><em>constant</em></u> speed because the <u><em>resultant </em></u>force acting on her is zero. She is now at her <u><em>terminal </em></u>velocity.

F) <em>Increases, same, constant, terminal</em>:

As she decelerates, the air resistance force on her parachute <u><em>increases </em></u>until it is the <u><em>same</em></u> as her weight. She is now moving with a <u><em>constant </em></u>speed until she hits the ground - a new slower <u><em>terminal</em></u> velocity

Skater 1 has a mass of 45 kg and is at rest. Skater 2 has a mass of 50 kg and is moving slowly at a constant velocity of 3.2 m/s
algol13

Answer:

None

Explanation:

Force, F is given by ma where m is the mass of an object and a is acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity per unit time. Since skaters with mass of 75 kg and 50 kg are moving at a constant speed, there is no acceleration hence F=50*0=0 and F=75*0=0

For skater of 45 kg, he is at rest to mean the initial and final velocitu of the skater is zero hence no acceleration, the force will be 45*0=0

Therefore, none of the skaters will experience a greater net force.

How does convection current helps cooling the system of engines
Ede4ka [16]
As the engine heats up, a natural circulation starts, as coolant rises through the engine block by convection. It passes through the top hose, and into the radiator. Inside the radiator, heat is removed from the coolant as it falls from the top to the bottom.
Hope this helps!
