Answer:

V = 816 cm^3

Explanation:

As we know that gauge pressure of the fluid at the bottom of the cylinder is given as

P = \rho g h

now we know that pressure at the bottom is double when water is poured on the mercury

So we have

\rho_{hg} g h_1 = \rho_w g h_2

so we will have

13.6 \times 5 = 1 \times h

so we have

h = 68 cm

now the volume of the water added to it is given as

V = h A

V = (68 cm)(12 cm^2)

V = 816 cm^3

If 61.4 cm of copper wire (diameter = 1.08 mm, resistivity = 1.69 × 10-8Ω·m) is formed into a circular loop and placed perpendic
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

the thermal energy generated in the loop = 6.64*10^{-4}  \ W

Explanation:

Given that;

The length of the copper wire L = 0.614 m

Radius of the loop  r = \frac{L}{2 \pi}

r = \frac{0.614}{2 \pi}

r = 0.0977 m

However , the area of the loop is :

A_L = \pi r^2

A_L = \pi (0.0977)^2

A_L = 0.02999 \ m^2

Change in the magnetic field is \frac{dB}{dt}= 0.0914 \ T/s

Then the induced emf e = A_L \frac{dB}{dt}

e = 0.02999 * 0.0914

e = 2.74 × 10⁻³ V

resistivity of the copper wire \rho = 1.69* 10^{-8} Ω m

diameter of the wire = 1.08 mm

radius of the wire = 0.54 mm = 0.54 × 10⁻³  m

Thus, the resistance of the wire  R = \frac {\rho L}{\pi r^2}

R =  \frac{(1.69*10^{-8})(0.614)}{   \pi (0.54*10^{-3})^2}

R = 1.13× 10⁻² Ω

Finally,  the thermal energy generated in the loop (i.e the power) = \frac{e^2}{R}

= \frac{(2.74*10^{-3})^2}{1.13*10^{-2}}

= 6.64*10^{-4}  \ W

What is the definition of "gravitational potential energy"?
AVprozaik [17]
According to Georgia State University, gravitational potential energy<span> is the energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. This is most commonly in reference to an object near the surface of the Earth, where the gravitational acceleration is assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.</span>

Using parallax, what is the distance to the<br> farthest stars you can measure?
aev [14]
Parallax angles of less than 0.01 arcsec are very difficult to measure from Earth because of the effects of the Earth's atmosphere. This limits Earth based telescopes to measuring the distances to stars about 1/0.01 or 100 parsecs away.

What is a fault please tell me because I need to know
fomenos

Answer:

A fault is commonly known as a rock fracture, where the two sides have been displaced, like when an earthquake happens the plates will slide against each other causing the fault to be the surface of where the rocks slipped.
