Answer:

155.25 atm

Explanation:

Distance, h = 1.6 km = 1600 m

density of water = 13.6 times less than the density of mercury

density of mercury = 13.6 x 10^3 kg/m^3

So, density of water = 1 x 10^3 kg/m^3

Pressure exerted by the water

P = distance x density of water x acceleration due to gravity

P = 1600 x 1000 x 9.8

P=1.568\times10^{8}Pa

We know that

1 atm = 1.01 x 10^5 Pa

So, P=1.568\times10^{8}Pa = P=\frac{1.568\times10^{8}}{1.01\times10^{5}}=155.25 atm

uysha [10]

Answer:

Superconducting materials can transport electrons with no resistance, and hence release no heat, sound, or other energy forms. Superconductivity occurs at a specific material's critical temperature (Tc). As temperature decreases, a superconducting material's resistance gradually decreases until it reaches critical temperature. At this point resistance drops off, often to zero, as shown in the graph at right.

An astronaut is moving in space when a big explosion occurs about 50 meters behind him. How will the astronaut come to know abou
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.  

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!
