The primary difference between a barometer and a manometer is

Physics
1 answer:
Nitella [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure, and a manometer is used to measure gauge pressure.

Explanation:

A barometer measures air pressure at any locality with sea level as the reference.

However, a manometer is used to measure all pressures especially gauge pressures. Thus, if the aim is to measure the pressure at any point below a fluid surface, a barometer is used to determine the air pressure. The manometer may now be used to determine the gauge pressure

The algebraic sum of these two values gives the absolute pressure.

What is the correct formula for power? A. Power = work / time B. Power = work * time C. Power = force * distance D. Power = work
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

A. Power = Work / Time

Explanation:

Power is the amount of work done over time, or rather the rate of work, which is given by the unit of watts (W). Since work is defined by Force * Displacement, we can also say Power = Force * Displacement / Time.

A 269-turn solenoid is 102 cm long and has a radius of 2.3 cm. It carries a current of 3.9 A. What is the magnetic field inside
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid near its centre is 1.293 x 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of solenoid, N = 269 turn

length of the solenoid, L = 102 cm = 1.02 m

radius of the solenoid, r = 2.3 cm = 0.023 m

current in the solenoid, I = 3.9 A

Magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid near its centre is calculated as;

B = \frac{\mu_o NI}{l} \\\\

Where;

μ₀ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ m/A

B = \frac{4\pi*10^{-7} *269*3.9}{1.02} \\\\B = 1.293 *10^{-3} \ T

Therefore, magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid near its centre is 1.293 x 10⁻³ T

A bat emitts a sonar sound wave (343 m/s) that bounces off a mosquito 8.42 m away
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The time lapse between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s

Distance (x) = 8.42 m

Time (t) =?

We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:

v = 2x / t

343 = 2 × 8.42 / t

343 = 16.84 / t

Cross multiply

343 ×  t = 16.84

Divide both side by 343

t = 16.84/343

t = 0.05 s

Thus, the time between  when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

<h3>How does a bat know how far away something is?</h3>

A bat emits a sound wave and carefully listens to the echoes that return to it. The returning information is processed by the bat's brain in the same way that we processed our shouting sound with a stopwatch and calculator. The bat's brain determines the distance of an object by measuring how long it takes for a noise to return.

Which factors affect gravitational potential force but not elastic potential energy
Inga [223]

Answer:

The mass of the object involved and the value of the gravitational acceleration

Explanation:

- Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object in a gravitational field due to its position with respect to the ground:

U=mgh

where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the heigth of the object with respect to the ground.

- Elastic potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an elastic object and it is given as:

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k is the spring constant of the elastic object, while x is the compression/stretching of the spring with respect to the equilibrium position.

As we can see from the equations, both types of energy depends on the relative position of the object/end of the spring with respect to a certain reference position (h in the first formula, x in the second formula), but gravitational potential energy also depends on m (the mass) and g (the gravitational acceleration) while the elastic energy does not.
