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.

Complete Question

The angular speed of an automobile engine is increased at a constant rate from 1120 rev/min to 2560 rev/min in 13.8 s.

(a) What is its angular acceleration in revolutions per minute-squared

(b) How many revolutions does the engine make during this 20 s interval?

rev

Answer:

$\alpha = 6261 \ rev/minutes^2$

$\theta = 613 \ revolutions$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial angular speed is $w_i = 1120 \ rev/minutes$

The angular speed after $t = 13.8 s = \frac{13.8}{60 } = 0.23 \ minutes$ is $w_f = 2560 \ rev/minutes$

The time for revolution considered is $t_r = 20 \ s = \frac{20}{60} = 0.333 \ minutes$

Generally the angular acceleration is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = \frac{w_f - w_i }{t}$

=> $\alpha = \frac{2560 - 1120 }{0.23}$

=> $\alpha = 6261 \ rev/minutes^2$

Generally the number of revolution made is $t_r = 20 \ s = \frac{20}{60} = 0.333 \ minutes$ is mathematically represented as

$\theta = \frac{1}{2} * (w_i + w_f)* t$

=> $\theta = \frac{1}{2} * (1120+ 2560 )* 0.333$

=> $\theta = 613 \ revolutions$

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

8.829 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

m = Mass of Exoplanet

$g_e$ = Acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity on Exoplanet

$m=M-0.1M\\\Rightarrow m=0.9M$

$g_e=G\frac{M}{r^2}$

$g=G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}$

Dividing the equations we get

$\frac{g}{g_e}=\frac{G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}}{G\frac{M}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{g}{g_e}=0.9\\\Rightarrow g=0.9g_e\\\Rightarrow g=0.9\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow g=8.829\ m/s^2$
