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.

How fast can the 140 a current through a 0.200 h inductor be shut off if the induced emf cannot exceed 80.0 v?

Vesna [10]

Recall that to compute for the emf of a circuit given current and inductance, we must recall that

$emf = - M \frac{\Delta I }{\Delta t}$

where I is the current (A), M is the mutual inductance (h), and t is the time (ms). Since the current must not exceed 80.0 V, we have

$80.0 \geq 0.200(\frac{140}{t})$
$t \geq \frac{28.0}{80}$
$t \geq 0.35$

From this, we see that it must take at least 0.35 ms so it doesn't exceed 80 V.
Answer: 0.35 ms

A heat engine does 9200 J of work per cycle while absorbing 22.0 kcal of heat from a hightemperature reservoir. What is the effi

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: 9.9%

Explanation: efficiency = (work output /work input) × 100

Note that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules, hence 22kcal = 22× 4184 = 92048 joules.

Work output = 9200 j and work input = 92048 j

Efficiency = (9200/92048) × 100 = 0.099 × 100 = 9.9%

If an object is projected upward with an initial velocity of 127 ft per? sec, its height h after t seconds is h equals negative

Stolb23 [73]

To determine the height of the object given the time, we simply use the given relation between height and time in the problem statement. It is given as:

h = -16t^2 + 127t

We substitute 55 seconds to t and obtain,

h = -16(55)^2 + 127(55)
h = - 41415
